FUEL is disappointing

I was starting to focus on the news of FUEL (a game created by CodeMasters) a few months ago, and after a long period of wait it finally released at July 1st.

Just 1 days later, CD cloned version could be downloaded from Internet. I spent nearly 2 days to get it and installed it imediately. This copy was cracked by Razor 1911, and before the game started there was a very big animation showing “Razor 1911″ with a short midi music.

The game movie was just so so and the main menu seemed to be a little simple. One year ago, CodeMaster published “DiRT” and “Grid”, of which the amazing 3D menu gave me a deep impression. In FUEL, you could found no addition graphics setting in the game, but you can set it before you start by opening “GameSetting.exe”. This was a little “old fashion” style. The crazy thing is that you must use keyboard to manipulate or to config. I guessed programmers could only do like this to save time developing multiplatform game.

Things were all right before I started the first lap. I couldn’t find any normal way to move the vehicle. Most racing game use arrow keys to move, but this game use Space key to forward and control to backward. It’s so hard to control the car like this using one hand.

Beside this, I got very dizzy when I finished the 3rd lap. I had to press Ctrl+F4 to end the game. My best friends told me he had the same feeling as I did. I felt I would delete the game.

FUEL seemed to be disappointing and not be worth waiting for so long time. Maybe it could be the worst game after the success of DiRT and Grid.

Fix VirtualBox 100% CPU Usage

I was using VirtualBox in Fedora and Vista but it happened to use all CPU resources in guest machine and the VM seems very slow. You can observed this problem by opening the task manager and see the CPU utilization at 100%, and core cpu usage is around 90%.

I searched about this problem but found only the questions and no useful answer. I even tried the VirtualBox 3.0 beta1 which supports SMP in VM but ended up facing blue screen of Vista guest. Seems there is no solution.
I just remebered VirtualBox said its software virtualization is better than Intel VT-x, should I try to disable VT technology? I uncheck the default setting of VT and reinstalled the guest system. All things goes smoothly!

But unfortunately VirtualBox seems slow to me and I will try KVM instead.

开玩笑

最近工信部老在玩笑话,很好玩,花了劳动人名4000多万搞出个怪胎,出了个“驴爸”。驴爸那真是一头蠢驴,虽然我没有用过,但我也清楚的知道但凡这种垃圾软件是活不长的。听说驴爸还偷了别人的东西还硬要说是从自己肚子里面长出来的,丢了自己的驴脸还把全国人民的脸都拉长了。

好吧,玩不动“驴爸”生了个怪胎那也扛不住了,转移视线又来玩“股沟”了。

这下“股沟”好玩了,搜索功能被关不说还被要求禁止境外搜索,最可怜的是被人搞了还要交钱。或许交的钱有用来填“驴爸”的怪胎钱吧。关键是专家叔叔还教会了我一个单词boobs,根据dict.cn提供的资料,这个单词词义如下:

boob

[bu:b]
[ 自动跳转自: boobs ]
n. 笨蛋,蠢材
n. (俚)女性的乳房
专家叔叔还说搜索这个词可以看到好多不该看的东西呢~~~来,试试哟。果然如此。
更搞笑的是,“百毒”也非等闲之辈:
baidu
来,在看看“股沟”的“儿子”如何呢?
googlefr
哟,虽然google.cn已经挥刀自宫了,但是google.fr(法国)还是可以找到。而且很简单,只需要把.cn改为.fr就ok了。
没搞懂怎么切换到google.fr?高级搜索里面找答案吧。
工信部下一个焦点是哪儿呢?搞“百毒”?抑或把对外电缆拆了,整堵墙在那儿放着名曰“绿坝”?来个物理隔绝?不得而知。

没有搞懂Facebook

我想我可能落伍了哟,老早之前就注册了Facebook,但一看界面就像“校内网”——说实在“校内”也还真垃圾——一下子就没有了兴趣。算了,还是规规矩矩的玩博客吧。

根据长时间的观察,现在的博客已经走向了低谷了,很久没有看到有谁有个留言了。大家都在玩社交网站,交了一大堆朋友,一会儿一个留言,一会儿一个评价。QQ也学得好,整啥子抢车位、挖白菜——整个就一浪费时间。我看我博客的站点统计,流量基本上还是来自于我的hesicong.net域名的流量。大部分都是以前写的技术类文章。现在也懒了,也不想写了。最近用微软的东西越用越冒火,GDI+性能太次,串口类有一个BUG……

整个博客的衰落到现在的境地,让我联想起一些现象。以前QQ刚流行的时候,大家都加这个加那个,都想成为好友,见面时不时聊一聊。看看现在呢,好友上面的数量至少上百了吧,上线的寥寥无几,基本上都是隐身的。QQ除了用来追追女娃,看看照片,整个就一浪费CPU、内存的东西。好吧,你说不用吧,又总是心痒痒想打开,又总是想到可能有朋友要联系。但一上来才发现是个可有可无的东西。好吧,有时候无聊就上会儿手机QQ,一看没人聊,算了,关了,玩N-GAGE。

我猜想社交网站估计也差不多这样,国内学了很多,校内、开心、QQ空间、饭否,还有一些我还不甚了解。每天用着就想看看有没有朋友留言,没有留言还要制造机会叫人家留言。没事看看菜是不是被哪个偷了,车位是不是被占了。每个人其实都很闲,但一问:老大最近如何?答案多半都是:很忙。真不知道忙到哪儿去了。

我也一样哟。每天挂着QQ,随时看看QQ空间,再看看MAIL,再看看Wordpress。其实看看MAIL就好了,Wordpress都没有必要打开,就知道有没有留言了。

以前的博客,就像是私家别墅,时不时有贵宾过来看看;现在的社交网站,就像赶集买东西一样,很火。但我真不知道这东西能够火多久。

最后看来,我还真是落伍了,那就落伍吧……

After the tragedy

This is the third day after the No.9 bus tragedy in Chengdu, my hometown. When I went to Meten by bus, I noticed a phenomenon that many people looked around to find the hummer or tried to find out where is the emergency switch of the door. And more people prefered to stand beside the door or near the  window.

Today, government announced the investigation of the fire that someone might bring some gaslione to the bus. According to the video of the whole burnning process, I could concluded that the bus must be fired by people because the fire started from the inner part of bus. Government also made out a plan to modify the window of the bus which has an air conditioner and would take more investment to buy new buses.

We must learn something from this terrible thing. First is not to take any dangerous things to the public area. Second is to be careful of people near you if he brings some suspicious things. Third is when someone is in terrible trouble, you must take your full ability to help them get out of that situation. Fourth is learn some safety knowledge in case you’re in trouble.

But, in the end, hope everyone is safe and happy everyday!

太惨了

早上老爸发条短信说9路公交车烧了起来,死了很多人,我当时还以为是什么小道消息或者恐怖袭击呢,结果一看新闻果然是啊,那么强的火,那么脆弱的生命……

晚上坐512公交车回来,整个车就是个拖拉机一般的响声,还开着空调,听发动机声音是柴油机。还好,晚上7点过出发的车人少的可怜,找个靠窗户的位置坐下了,听着听着英语睡了一觉。

现在坐飞机要落到海里面,坐火车要撞散架,走路都要遭70码,在家吧,地震……

好吧,安安心心的,平平安安的,小心翼翼的,祝愿大家都幸福安康~

Who is that?

I was taking a bath and wondering I should write something but I have no idea. I was searching my memory when I came across hi-tech things, I suddenly recalled a store happened many years ago.

When I was in high school, my paternal grandmother’s mother ( or my great-grandmother for short ) lived in my home for about one month. She was 80-odd years old at that time and now is a 88 old but kind mother. One day, when we all went out and came back late at night, she told me that there was a phone call in afternoon. We asked she who was that, and she just told us when the phone was ringing she told the phone directly that we were out and after a while it stopped. We knew she didn’t know how to use it. It was really not easy for an old person from country side to answer a “hi-tech” phone, so we told her that we should pick up the phone first, answer it and put it down. She knew how to do this next time.

Another day, she answered another phone. This time she picked up the phone and said we were not at home and then put it down. Everything was done just as we told her.

“Who was that?”, we asked.
“I don’t know. I just picked up the phone and told you were not at home and put it down”, she said.
“Was the person a male or female?”, we continued.
“Ennn, I don’t know either. I can’t tell you. I didn’t see that guy!! “, she said.

We really can’t help to laugh and she was embarrassed. She said she did everything we told her and in order to prove this she did a demostration to us how she answer the phone. We finally got the answer. She did all we told her – really picked up the phone and indeed said something to it and at last put it down. But the point was, she didn’t touch her ear to the headphone so she heard nothing. She laughed at last. We thought we’d better have another “Higher-tech” video phone to solve this problem.

Dragon Boat Festival

Today is the annual holiday for celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival on which day we eat rice dumpling and in some places people play dragon boat competition. It true that rice dumpling today was very hot today and nearly sold out. TV news reported many people sold rice dumplings in the MaAnDongLu which is a road has a long history of rice dumpling making.

People were longing the following three days holidays. We brought many things from supermarket. Some for us and some for children. It must be the happiest month for primary students because there are nearly three holidays – International Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, and Children’s Day. I was unlucky that my memory of the time in primary school was boring and studying forever. My parents were busy and had no time , especially no money, to enjoy the holidays. The happiest time for me was to play a computer game on Sunday and ride bike on the path of fields in the countryside.

Life becomes coloful when we are getting rich and have more time to travel. My friends and I are planning to hava a trip on Sunday to TianTai mountain after the offical holidays for at that time it will not be very crowded. I’m thinking about what I will do these days and perhaps I will study something. But first of all, I’ll have my hair cut. ^_^

At last, happy Dragon Boat Festival and enjoy your rice dumpling!

搬新校区

搬新校区都是上个星期的事情了,这个星期才有空写写。我的感觉是:终于搬了。都说了很久很久了,我记得大三的时候就开始说要搬新校区了,然后又说大四,大四说读研肯定在新校区,然后上了研一我们学院都还在老校区。研一上学期说期末搬,到了期末又说下学期搬,到了下学期又说不搬了。然后又说暑假搬,暑假又没有搬成,传闻又是研二下学期刚开学搬。开学了还是这么回事,最后终于越来越密集的谣言,还是最终搬了。

搬东西那是一个累人。我的东西又是一大摞,之前我就搬了大半回去,搬家那天又把车开过去,装了慢慢的一备箱。离开时也没有太多的留念,也就这样吧,麻木了。

把东西搬到下面以后,大家都坐着聊天,等“蚂蚁搬家”过来搬。学院也是,那么多东西就派了3个车,“蚂蚁搬家”的车那简直和蚂蚁差不多大,三个车要跑两三趟才能装完,每次都是2个小时。钱没有出够就是不一样。

吃了中午饭,我载着寝室哥们儿一同奔向新校区。新旧校区一个多小时的车程,30多公里,经过高新西区,从成灌高速入口网上转一圈就到了。进了大门,寝室还要走很长路程才能走到,新校区确实是很大的。寝室很偏远,旁边有一条小河,我们称之为“清水河”。到寝室楼下办好了手续,就开始搬东西了。东西那是一个多啊,特别是书,最重的东西,6楼没有电梯,只要背上去。

寝室比较小,两人间,目前无网络无电话无热水,似乎到了农村一样。洗热水澡都是在外面的集中地方洗澡,听说只有三个喷头,看来冬天洗澡都要抢了。还好,唯一的好处就是空气质量尚可,风很大。

我严重质疑这里的工程问题,我们寝室的门关不了,使劲一拉,差点把拉手拉断了;其他两个哥们儿的寝室门开不开;旁边一哥们儿的寝室一关门门上的门牌掉了下来。哇,好久都没有写所谓的排比句了,竟然是写道这样的地方。不知道俺们的可爱ZSB(拼音缩写,确实是这样,还带SB两字)校长是不是想我们帮他一起搬了,这样给我们的工程!幸好地震的时候还没有房子塌下来哦。

在食堂办饭卡也很造孽,必须要交100块钱,更搞笑的是之前的通知上面写的“请准备零钞100”。是说准备100*1元的小抄呢还是说100元是小抄呢?搞不清楚。拿了张一卡通“临时卡”,哦,看来我们是临时的……无语中。食堂有几个笔记本电脑正在享受免费的无线网络,学校的无线网络也就这儿比较灵。永远不要听领导所谓的“笔记本校园”,“无线上网anywhere”,那就是骗小孩子的。ZSB给我们寝室安装个固话我就谢天谢地了。

好吧,我忍了。

去取钱室友买东西,停在广场上。待会儿一个保安跑过来,说“要停好久?”,我说就几分钟,他说这里不能停车的。最后雷人了一句“在这儿停车怕把地砖压坏了”。1.4吨的小轿车能把坚硬的地砖压坏了?~!看来这里的工程确实有问题,算了,以后不敢停车了,怕待会儿出来一看车陷到地里面去了我还懒得请吊车。

送完同学我就走了,从宿舍到主楼好远的路程啊,开车都要两三分钟,走路恐怕要半个多小时。食堂离主楼那是一个远啊,没有自行车怎么能行?我还怀疑有了自行车能不能骑上几天?算了,这些都不要想了,反正我也不在这边住。

从主楼正门出去,走西芯大道,IT大道,全程飚车(小声点我开得100,给警察叔叔只能说70哟~)回家,15分钟到,很快。

后来同学都没有上网,更搞笑的是上网回老校区实验室上网,哎,造孽。听说寝室楼的交换机都没有装,莫非真要台式机都用WiFi?!


Fix Wordpress default .htaccess and 401 error

I encourted a problem that I couldn’t see the dialog for my password protected pages. The problem was caused by Wordpress default .htaccess file which redirect 401 page to 404 page. The more detail can be found here (http://www.andrewrollins.com/2008/01/22/wordpress-and-htaccess-password-protected-directories/)

I’ve tried three methods the article said and only found the last one is OK. I created a 401 page and put this line into .htaccess and every went well.

ErrorDocument 401 /401.shtml

I didn’t know the reason for the failure of another two failed because my new hosting server is LiteSpee which may not fully compatible with Apache.
