Open Office

终于,忍受不了word的折磨,弃暗投明了。Open Office给我的第一印象就是快!打开大型doc文档比Word还快,oo还是基于java的,今天,它改变了我长久以来的一个偏见:java程序奇慢无比。
首先就要搞定参考文献的功能,不错,可以定制的东西太多了,也可以换句话说,要想排好有点复杂,没有现成的模板,你只需输入所需的Field,然后在Bibliography的Table of Content里更改格式,一旦设定好了,那更新的速度真是叫快啊!文献的排序还可以不按出现顺序来排,最多可以设定三个字段。
再一个想说的就是公式的输入。公式的确不如WYSIWYG那么容易,很多符号、运算符要手动输入,虽然有些内容像latex,但与latex又有所不同。如果用熟了,那效率一定会比用那些公式编辑器来得快,好比2/3这样的简单式子,只需要敲入2 over 3就行了,省去不少鼠标操作。
另一点是可以导出为PDF格式,速度很快。对于相同文件内容而言,open office的文件大小要小于word产生的,也许这些开源软件都继承了那种优良的KISS思想:keep it simple
simple is good, let's keep things simple.

反转剧

这两天明显感到天气转冷,呱呱的家里也已经下起了大雪,南京则是阴冷潮湿,让人没有了出行的欲望。没想到躲在被子里看反转剧也成了度过寒冬的一剂良药。在PPLive越来越让人失望的时候,PPStream横空出世,虽然广告仍是少不了的主题,但从视频质量和播放连续性上来说都超过PPLive,实为居家必备之良品(由此可见,新事物一定会战胜旧事物......)。韩国的反转剧最近似乎比较流行,称之为反转剧就在于其结果总是让人出乎意料,不合常理,其间又不乏各种搞怪搞笑的镜头,各种当红帅哥美女也一定让DDMM们爱不释手,20~30分钟一集的剧情一改韩剧拖沓的风貌,想看就看,容易切入。 反转剧,今天你看了吗?

from cpp to java

when i start to study java with a cpp background, i find it is very difficult to convert my mind. i always think how some features in cpp was implemented in java, this give me a little reject to java language. though java is born from c, i think they still have different applicable domains, so try to study both is good for me, and java is a pure OO language, i believe it will give me a better understanding on OOD.

Personalized Google Home

Using your google account, you can create a personalized homepage. You can customize several modules, including various news, gmail, bookmarks. This service is similar to what http://www.netvibes.com/ provides. The drawback is the inconvenience of bookmark module. It doesn't provide grouping while netvibes provide tags to implement this. Wishing google will improve this defect in the near future. Meanwhile, the Live plan of Microsoft is also going on. MS presents several several servicies to counterattack google's counterparts. Virtual Earth (see http://preview.local.live.com ) is a recent service. It provides map service just like google earth, provides a virtual tour better than google. Imaging driving a car in the map and seeing everything real, maybe you can do a virtual europe tour now. Seems interesting. MS also provides a customized home, you can log into www.live.com via your msn accounts. I haven't tried that yet.
