让我们慢慢品冬之萧瑟。冬天脱去了一切伪装和浮华,只露出它本来的面目。

让一切都遁去,听冬天的声音。

就像我现在静坐车内,在中国城停车场一隅,对面是一株枯树,无聊地欹斜着,树梢刺向苍穹。是典型的悲观的元人所作"冬意萧瑟图"。

只有女儿的鼾声,均匀而有节奏。

新年 New year

在匆匆旅途中迎来了圣诞, 和新的一年 。华盛顿让我们感受到了白色圣诞的魅力。

这是我第四次华盛顿之旅。前三次是家庭之旅,这一次是高中同学的聚会。四次均是在冬季,主要是参观博物馆,这一次我们还去了宾州的滑雪场 – 这倒让我们想起了夏天在chattahoochee河上的漂流。我们从覆盖着积雪的高坡上滑下, 惊叫着,一直触到坡底。老二妙妙也乐此不疲,玩了一遍又一遍还是毫无倦意。

从同学的脸上, 读出自己岁月的流痕。二十年未见,遽然在异域相遇,有说不出的喜悦。我们回味着家乡美食,年少时的种种趣事,时光宛若倒流至从前。

Puppet show: the last dragon on earth

That is a great show. We watched the show in the first floor. Rather than the scene is the who stage as in second floor theater, this is a show with smaller stage but all the performance is centered in the middle of the area. There are rodded, stringed and shaded puppets and the show is all in side the castle area.

We also enjoyed the workshop to build a rodded dragon puppet with a string too. The museum is full of saseme street puppets create Jim Henson and his team.

Per performer Bluegrass from Vermont, Atlanta’s center for puppet arts are the only puppet center in the states. We are so lucky to have it here in Atlanta so kids can enjoy the great puppet shows in Atlanta.

To day I noticed that in iddition to member reserved seats in tows 1-4, row 5 is reserved for a kids birthday. What a good idea!

Google Phone: It’s real

The long awaited google phone is finally materializing and today Google gave them to its employees to test out:

Google Releases Experimental Phone to Employees:
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/184541/google_releases_experimental_phone_to_employees.html

This is the phone I want. I need an unlocked phone, with data plan only, can run Skype to make calls, to be open-source based, can run Java. Google phone looks like, finally, my dream phone.

I like iphone/ipod, but I do not like the way that all is prepriotary. I don’t want to buy another pc/notebook to develop iphone apps running in a mystery OS uisng Object C. Wifi and Skype do not work well too. I hate they exclude Java programs from their OS and Steve Jobs’s rediculous comments about Java.

Did I mention that you can use your sd card to expand your storage without paying bigger bucks? Better than iPhones too!

regramding

Shame on me… I created a task in my Outlook named “regramding” that was due Friday morning at 8 am and I could not recall what that means!

I don’t know what I have missed but I just could not remember what this note is about. It is a mistery what I had missed and what this task/reminder is… No shortcut next time and a lesson learned.

Change domain name for joomla/virtuemart

It’s easy for Joomla itself (at its global config within online admin interface) but tricky for embedded virtuemart. Annoying thing is, after the domain name change you can not access config page online via admin interface.

Here is the file you have to make the changes to make virtuemart work after domain name change: (Remember you have to know what your folder your Joomla points to)

/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php:

// these path and url definitions here are based on the Joomla! Configuration
define( ‘URL’, ‘http://newdomain.com/’ );
define( ‘SECUREURL’, ‘http://newdomain.com/’ );

After that all is set with your embedded virtuemart.
