How to make one twitter page in your blog

2007-07-02T23:40:00.001+08:00

Twitter provides some plugins that can display your messages recently in twitter. But for me, that isn't enough. I need twitter to be one powerful supplement for my blog: 1. the visitors needn't go to twitter to see my message; 2. the visitors can view all of my messages by page turning.

So, I did as the below way. It is enable in WordPress.

1.make one new page, and paste the below code

<style type="text/css">
#sidebar{display:none;}
#content{width:800px;}
</style>

<iframe src="http://fanfou.com/terababy" height="1500" width="100%"></iframe>

Note:
Because most of pages in WordPress template, the sidebar always display, the work of the css is to hide the sidebar and make the twitter wider.

And you must replace the source of the element "iframe" with your twitter's profile.

2. publish the page, then you can see it in your blog

You can see the work in my test blog:
http://terababy.yo2.cn/twitter/

Btw, I have 2 invites in Pownce. If you need it, please leave me your email address.

Work vs Life in the different cultures

2007-06-30T00:30:00.000+08:00

I watched one tv play in Japanese - ハケンの品格 recently.

It talks about one temporary worker's story. The leading role's name is 大前春子. She has the glaring ability and countless certificates. But she insists on working as one temporary worker. The temporary work always has three months. Once the period finished, she will make a trip all over the world.

Recently, this tv play is popular in Japan and China. Specially, many young people are eager to work and life like the leading role. This is very different from the past.

In Japan, one word is popular. That is "Work is life". People work hard, and the work is the most important part in life. The young people go to work early, and go home lately. In China, people word harder even without salary when working overtime. No discipline force them to do as that. The culture is just that.

Show my Firefox

2007-06-30T00:05:00.000+08:00

Recently, Lifehacker's Screen Tour made the new one "Show Us Your Firefox". Here I show you my Firefox. You can click the image to zoom it.

I have three top favorite folder: StartUp, Add..., ToDo.

"StartUp" is similar with Windows's Startup Menu. With it, my firefox looks like one OS.
"Add" is the shortup bookmarks' folder for the services such as del.icio.us, Netscape, RememberTheMilk.
"Todo" is prepared for the pages that will read someday.

The menu in firefox is hidden by the plugin - Personal Menu. And I use one plugin "Status Button" to put some button into status.

That's all I have done.

How To Create Strong Passwords in another way

2007-06-20T22:49:00.000+08:00

"Hi, darling, do you know the password of this computer. I have tried much times but failed."
"It is null, baby."

Is this one joke? No, it often happens. Everyone believe that one password must exist, so try and try.

Of course, you shouldn't keep it null. The problem is how to make it strong and remember it.

Can you speak one east language? If you can, you are fortunate. In Chinese, Mars is --

You can say it "huo xing". No one knowns the meaning among your neighbors. And plus some symbols or numbers. That is perfect!

Top 5: Save energy not only by Black Google

One thought from Mark Gongloff:

"One caveat, though: The energy savings may apply mainly (or fully) to cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors; you may not save nearly as much (or any) energy by switching display colors on an LCD monitor, which already consumes far less energy than a CRT."

But I will still do this even if this can save tiny energy. How are you?

The Printable CEO: Emergent Task Planning in excel is downloadable

2007-06-14T03:49:00.001+08:00

Mr David Seah made the ultimate PDF on Emergent Task Planning. He said, "A good productivity form is one that provides focus and stability for the day as a support tool. If the form makes you think too much, it just isn’t as useful."

I made the same Emergent Task Planning in excel format.

There are three parts same as Mr David's:

1. The Schedule Grid on the left side.
2. An Important Tasks for the Day at the top right, with room for 10 numbered tasks.
3. A Notes Area on the bottom right, for keeping track of what you’re doing as the day goes on.

The Schedule Grid on the left side:

The Important Tasks for the Day:

The Notes Area on the bottom right:

Save energy not only by Black Google

2007-06-06T04:48:00.001+08:00

In a January 2007 post at the EcoIron blog, Mark Ontkush estimated that Google could save 750 megaWatt hours a year using a totally black screen. He reached the conclusion by the mapping table "Display Colors vs Power Usage".

Is it only Google's duty to save the energy? Youtube, Digg, facebook...and even more. Actions speak louder than words. Let's begin.

1. Dark theme on OS

Open "Control Panel" -> "Display", Select the option "Appearance", Select "Windows Class style" in "Windows and buttons" and "High Constrant Black" in "Color scheme".
Maybe you don't like it, you can customize it by clicking the "Advanced" button.

I have modified it myself. This is the preview, and you can download here.

Alternative, you can install Uxtheme Multi-patcher 5.5, "Uxtheme Multi-patcher will allow you to use any 3rd party msstyle theme on Windows XP/SP1/SP2 or Windows Server 2003 (with Themes enabled) just by patching the uxtheme.dll (dynamic link library).".
After install UXtheme, you can download NIOR theme and apply it.

2. Dark style on popular web site

Only for firefox.
Please install Stylish plugin and Greasemonkey plugin firstly.

For more dark style, you can search in UserStyle.org

3. Firefox dark skin

You can select the firefox skin in dark theme. I choose "MidnightFox 0.65" as my best skin.

4. Office2007 dark theme

Click star button in office2007, and click "XXX options". In the dialog, select "Black" in Color Scheme.

If you have others, please give me some comments. Let's share the good ideas.

See Those Fingers, Do the Math or Language?

2007-06-03T15:46:00.000+08:00

"Boys with the longest ring fingers relative to their index fingers tend to excel in math, according to a new study. In girls, shorter ring fingers predict better verbal skills. The link, according to the researchers, is that testosterone levels in the womb influence both finger length and brain development." Constance Holden said in sciencemag,

"Scientists have been interested for years in the observation that ratios of finger lengths differ in men and women. In men, the ring (fourth) finger is usually longer than the index (second); their so-called 2D:4D ratio is lower than 1. In females, the two fingers are more likely to be the same length. Because of this sex difference, some scientists believe that a low ratio could be a marker for higher prenatal testosterone levels, although it's not clear how the hormone might influence finger development. The 2D:4D ratio has also been fingered in connection with brain-related characteristics--most often in males--such as depression, left-handedness, musical ability, and homosexuality."

I, one boy, with the nearly 1:1 ratio. But I got nearly full marks each time on maths and am poor in language.

My wife, about 11:10, graduated from Language Colleage.

How about you?

Create Document Map on common txt in UltraEdit

2007-06-01T01:14:00.001+08:00

UltraEdit is an text, HTML and HEX editor, and an advanced PHP, Perl, Java and JavaScript editor for programmers. One important and popular feature is the function list. But when processing common txt file, no function list. You need customize the "wordfile.txt".
Please open the wordfile.txt in the UltraEdit install directory. And append the below characters.

/L14"TXT" Noquote Line Comment = # Line Comment Num = 5Note: Block Comment On = /* Block Comment Off = */ File Extensions = TXT
/Delimiters = !&*()+=|/;"'<>:@ ,./
/Function String = "%[0-9].*"

It can process the titles like "1.", "1.1" as document map.

And I wrote one reference for each language in the default wordfile and share it here.

Hack and lifehack in iGoogle

2007-05-28T23:47:00.002+08:00

, Google’s personalized portal formerly known as Google Homepage, has a huge userbase, a nice selection of modules, and Google’s trademark simplicity which makes it easy to use for anyone.

1. open the door

Open the iGoogle homepage: http://www.google.com/ig, if you never use it in your computer, iGoogle will notice you: "You have been signed out. Sign in to see your stuff. (Don't have an iGoogle page? Get started.)" If you sign in with your google account, you will use iGoogle wherever. Otherwise, it only saves the customize information in your local computer. However, let's make the choice.

Then iGoogle will provide a sampling of content, please check for yourself and click "show my page". Wow, it is the portal page. Now you can customize the theme. Click " new! Select theme", there are seven themes for your choice. Adding tabs, adding stuff(widgets), that's all simple.

2. Fix the shortcoming or enhance

(1) the Unlimited tabs
When the number of the tabs got up to six, Google limits it! Please paste the javascript in URL:
javascript:_renameTab(); _dlsetp('at=')
Then you can see one new tab, then you can name it...

(2) Resizable columns
Firstly, you'll have to install Greasemonkey, a plugin for Firefox which enables you to change the actual webpages via simple JavaScript scripts.

This is one feature that Netvibes has and iGoogle doesn’t: resizable columns, which can be really useful if you really need to squeeze every last drop of screen real estate. This script will make this feature available in iGoogle, just grab the white space between the columns and drag it left or right.

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8162

(3) Replacing the logo
Don’t like the ubiquitous iGoogle logo on top of the page? This script enables you to set any image as the logo. It requires a bit of hand-editing to the code. You need to do the following (quote): “create the image as 166 x 55 px, upload it wherever, and refer to it within the #regular_logo, after background:url(”

3. Google Sidebar

View your Google Personalized Home page modules in the sidebar with an optimized layout.
All widgets will sort into one column automatically. And when click in the sidebar, the main window will open the target.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3130

Usage:
* select in the menu: View -> Sidebar -> IGoogle, or
* use key combination: Ctrl+Alt+I, or
* click on toolbar button

4. Widget for life: Day Since widget

One iGoogle widget that tells you how many days have passed since you cleaned the litter box or put those leftovers in the fridge by developer Bernie Thompson.

Install the Days Since widget on your iGoogle homepage, and enter the number of days since you watered the plants or gave the dog a bath, and Days since will keep track for you as each day passes. The advantage to the physical timer, of course, is that you can stick it directly to the litter box itself, but this is free and always in sight on your iGoogle page.

Click the below click to add it to your iGoogle.

5. Widget for life: Simple GTD

Make one tab named "GTD", and add six widget "To-Do List" or "To-Do List+". (To-DO List+ has the time feature). Then name them by "Inbox", "Do it", "Action", "Waiting", "Project", "Maybe". Finally, add widget "Google Calendar".

Inbox: tasks unassigned

Do it: tasks can be done in two minutes
    for example: call someone

Action: tasks maybe be done beyond two minutes
    for example: send one package at post office

Calendar: tasks assigned by specified date
    for example: attend one marriage on Sep,12th

Waiting: tasks can be done after someone finish something
    for example: before send package at post office, let someone confirm the receiver's address.

Project: before detail in "Do it", "Action"
    for example: travel somewhere

Maybe: tasks when in free time
    for example: wash the car

6. Make your own gadget

http://www.google.com/ig/gmchoices?source=bppd, you can build your own gadgets using wizards. The gadgets are very simple and are more like containers for things that matter to you: photos, videos, events.

The wizards let you enter the settings for seven new gadget templates:

(1). Photo album - add up to 7 photos that can be rotated.
(2). GoogleGram - enter seven greeting messages.
(3). Daily Me - type what you are doing.
(4). Countdown - count the days until a special event.
(5). Simple list - you can use it as a ToDo list, shopping list.
(6). YouTube videos - up to 10 videos.
(7). Freeform gadget - add an image and some text.

How to share your blog in Blogger site

2007-05-27T07:29:00.000+08:00

Web2.0 is share. It is necessary to share your blog as one blogger. But in the Blogger space, it is hard to modify the template to add the share feature. For example, when you create share links with images, the images will auto turn into the strange style: one image by one line. When you meet this problem, please use table, tr, td elements.

Another tip we need to know, the Bookmark Services commonly provide API to add the bookmark from external. The API contain two parts. The first is URL, the second is title. Of course, for the different API, the parameter names for URL and title are different. For example, the API for "del.icio.us" is "http://del.icio.us/post?url=XXX&title=YYY". The one for "My Yahoo" is "http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?u=XXX&t=YYY".

This is the code I wrote for sharing links:

<p>
<table><tr>

Speed up Acrobat Reader 8

2007-05-26T13:06:00.000+08:00

When Acrobat Reader's version getting up, the speed to launch it is getting slower. Although we have some ways to speed it up, why the developers in Adobe can't think it over?

Ok, let's talk about the way about Adobe Reader 8's excruciatingly slow load time. Just remove the "accessability.api" file.

Go to your %Program Files%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\reader\plug_ins folder, and rename or delete the 'accessability.api' file.

What's going on in the Twitter world

TweetVolume is a frequency search engine of sorts, giving you feedback, by way of graphical representation, how many times your search term has shown up on Twitter.

Twitter is the serivce where you can talk with yourself. The words shown up on Twitter indicate some different and significative things. Let's do some tests using TweetVolume. And you can compare this with google search.

1. happy, sad, smile, cry, sleep

Most peoples are happy. So please join in twitter, you can meet happy people and that will make you happy too. Smile is equal to cry almostly. At last, sleep is the important thing.

2. Peace vs War

This is not a peace world. Never be. Oh my God!
3. Man, woman, people, dog, cat

I'm sad to say that the twitter world is out of balance on sex. And be happy that the cats are more popular than the dogs. I have three cats :_)

My web2.0 desktop

2007-05-23T03:50:00.001+08:00

As one web2.0 geek, web2.0 icons use one half of desktop dock. Often, the number to click them is larger than others.

The larger version on the Flickr will, where appropriate, let you mouseover for the name and a link, but I’ll save you the trouble of a click by repeating the links below.

Blogspot - Perfect blog provider
Twitter - Talk myself, mini blog
Deviantart - Artist community
last.fm - music&radio community
box.net - online storage
flickr.com - photo album and community
picasa web album -
Remember the Milk - GTD task manager
Google Reader - Rss Reader
Google - Search Engine
Gmail - Mail Service
del.icio.us - Online bookmarks and community

You can download the dock icons from my box.

Zoho Notebook

2007-05-23T00:57:00.000+08:00

As written in ReadWriteWeb, "With Zoho Notebook, you can create many different types of content - such as text, image, audio, video, drawings, RSS feeds. It's also a content aggregator (including HTML content from web, Zoho Writer doc, Zoho Sheet spreadsheet etc) and has impressive collaboration features. While content aggregation and collaboration are almost mandatory these days in a Web Office product, it's the variety of content you can aggregate and collaborate over that is impressive in Zoho Notebook." Zoho Notebook is really one perfect online product. It's valuable to try out.

I made one "twitter page", and share it http://notebook.zoho.com/nb/public/terababy/page/2880000000003129

Feedshake with lifehack

2007-05-21T02:47:00.000+08:00

Web site FeedShake is a feed merging tool that lets you put several different RSS/Atom feeds together in one master feed. I have some rss subscription on lifehack. Today I merged them in feedshake with url: http://feedshake.com/rss/r9jbnpkc.rss
But it doesn't work anyway. I don't know the reason.

Here is the rss list:

Say hello world to column "follow me"

2007-05-19T22:06:00.000+08:00

Every day, I read many articles about lifehack and GTD via rss reader and blog. It isn't enough to read them. And it is unfair to say good or bad before not doing as them. So I decide to follow them to do. With time pass away, the benefit and fault will appear. I will write some articles to log them and named them "follow me" by tag.

Is it one good idear? Please discuss with me about it.

Google yourself & benefit from this

2007-05-18T13:20:00.000+08:00

There are many people googled themselves. Today, I googled myself just for fun.
Firstly, the word "myself" has two meanings for me. My real name and my screen name in web space. Some days ago, I googled my real name. There were so many results that contained my real name. As you know, that's not the real myself. There are so many people have the same name.
So I googled my screen name today. I guessed that nobody will nick the name except me.

There were 554 items in a result. Only one was not for me because of google's fault.
Let's look at the leading items.

1. Twitter / terababy
2. The forgotten Milk
3. digg / terababy / news / dugg
4. terababy on Wakoopa
5. terababy on deviantART
6. terababy's bookmarks on del.icio.us
7. terababy » Curbly | DIY Design Community
8. Lifehack.org Community - View Profile: terababy
9. terababy is a member of the Macmeter community
10. Myopera by terababy

The hind items aren't listed here because they get more repeated.
I come to the below conclusion:
1. Google can find some footprints order by the pagerank of the web sites where footprints remain.
2. If your screen name is unique, you can look upon google as your bookmarks. It is a good idea :_)
3. The count of the search result suggest how you are popular. Please publicize your blog where google can find you if you own one blog.

Weekly Diary on Twitter: 05-07 ~ 05-13

2007-05-14T14:37:00.000+08:00

1. Record some habit of my cats.
(1) Princess Cat yezhi barks like one goose in the morning
(2) Princess Cat Meng barks like one cock at 6:00

2. There are some fine blogs about cats:

3. Porn sites and content is everywhere in internet. I begin to hate internet.
For example, sina is one of the biggest portal site in china. But there are many porn content. How to protect chinese children?

4. My Exclamation in the last week(I twitter in chinese, translated here in english)

我问上帝，大同世界真的可以存于世吗？上帝说，存在世，但不会在人类之中。
I ask god, is it true that pantisocracy will remain in the world? God answers, it is true, but not in the human world.

正因为欺骗无所不在，真诚更显珍贵。
Cheat remains everywhere, so faith is more precious.

Make one cook menu using Acdsee

2007-05-14T00:30:00.000+08:00

The man who is fond of cooking is an artist. I love cooking, but not one artist :_)

Record each dinner is such a good habit. You can make notes whether the dinner is good or bad, how to improve it.

Take one photo to each dinner when you finishing cooking, then put it into your computer
Create folders and organize cook photos.
Open the cook folders using acdsee, customize the view:

3.1 choose the view type as "thumbs + Details"
3.2 choose details, only keep these columns:
ACD Database: Caption,
ACD Database: Keywords,
ACD Database: Notes.

Caption -> cook name
Keywords -> what material is contained
Notes -> anything by yourself

All settings are done.
Let's begin noting each cook now.

How to make Thinkpad X60 more powerful

2007-05-13T10:10:00.000+08:00

Thinkpad X60 has no CD-ROM, preinstalled XP-home, only has 256MB memory. When I prepared to buy it, I realized that its power wasn't enough for me. My usual work is coding. I need reinstall OS regularly. When Eclipse IDE starts up, Java VM will use 100MB at least, the Database Server, Version Controll Server...... But X60 is so mini, owning Duo Core2 CPU heart, and beautiful IBM skin. So I bought it and prepared one solution to its fault.

1. format original OS, and install XP-professional.
2. IBM(lenovo) provide many drivers and tools. I only install some staple ones. That is enough.
3. update its memory to 1GB +256MB.
4. prepare one USB disk and make it roootable formatting DOS 7.0. Then put Ghost into it and make one mirror image on driver C.

Now, I can do my business smoothly.

My first MonkeyScript

2007-05-13T06:43:00.000+08:00

I was so amazed with the script plugins on firefox. Yeah! They enhance the website UI so much!
Now I use GreaseMonke and Stylish for GoogleReader, Gmail, last.fm, DeviantArt, Flickr, Hotmail, Download.com, Twitter, Photobucket and so on.

I am a Naruto fan. And I found one online comic site about Naruto. But one block of advertiesment make me crazy! Who can bear this?

So the impulse to write one script to hide the block come out from my brain.

After read some source scripts, I wrote as the below:

// ==UserScript==
// @name 1mh comic
// @description Say goodbye to Demonoid's most annoying ads ever. (v1.1)
// @include http://www.1mh.org/html/*
// ==/UserScript==

var adContainer = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0];
if (adContainer)
adContainer.parentNode.removeChild(adContainer);

adContainer = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[1];
if (adContainer)
adContainer.parentNode.removeChild(adContainer);

adContainer = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[2];
if (adContainer)
adContainer.parentNode.removeChild(adContainer);

adContainer = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[5];
if (adContainer)
adContainer.parentNode.removeChild(adContainer);

adContainer = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[6];
if (adContainer)
adContainer.parentNode.removeChild(adContainer);

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I only keep the 3rd(image) and 4th(page control) table. So simple! The script is dirty, but I needn't make it clean.

After install my script, the result page display so clean.

So cool! Ok, let's code anywhere and anytime.

GoogleReader + Gmail = mine Digg

2007-05-13T05:27:00.000+08:00

I have used some rss readers: IE7, News Reader, ZhuaXia(Chinese), FeedDaemon. They are all good. But when I met with GoogleReader, I Wow!

When I read news from rss subscription, I want not only read it, but also keep the best as favorites. And I think I had better keep it into some online warehouse. Note sites or Digg sites? No! I wish one day I could backup them up to the local. The most convenient way is to use GoogleReader's "email" + Gmail's "Label".

1. Create Labels in Gmail.

You can make the label by path: Digg/Big Tag/Small Tag/...
Of course the separating character can be "/", "-" or others you like.
Don't worry about the mass number of the labels. You can only digg the news that you interest the most.

Of course you make the label when you receive mails from GoogleReader. I will talk about it later.

2. When you meet the best news in GoogleReader, you can click "Email" link below the news. One mail dialog will appear. Pls fill your gmail address and send it.(You can use Plugin "Better Gmail" to help you fill up the address .

3. You will receive the news mail. Pls apply label to it. When you have no suitable label, pls make one label by the Digg Label rule.

4. You can receive the mails to your local anyway. That's the best news for me.

Remember, you only can send 99 mails one day by GoogleReader. Or you can get the "You can't send mail" message. I think Google don't want Google be a ogre via mail. But do you need to do as this?

Unlimited iGoogle

Unlimited iGoogle
Originally uploaded by terababy.

This is my first post in fact :_)

The first one is about google. So am I a google fan? Maybe not. In the past three years, I didn't read online news, join society network/bbs... When I meet problems in work&life, I would do some searching using Google. In those days, I felt free and happy. Maybe that's the best living way in the web times. But I know, that's the best living way in the web2.0 times. Oooops.... Let's talk about the topic about this post.

When iGoogle was online, I was hot with it and put some helpful widgets into it. When the number of the tabs got up to six, I can't believe my eyes. Google limits it! My God, huge Google do such things!

Fortunately, I found the below tip using Google search to crack Google's iGoogle.

1. Open iGoogle Homepage.

2. Paste the javascript in URL:

javascript:_renameTab(); _dlsetp('at=')

Then you can see one new tab, then you can name it...

3. After name, press "ENTER". That's OK!
