GPL, BSD or else?

I've still not understood them as well among GPL, BSD or else one. It's quite annoying me. I read a very good article about this. Like the one of "Are you sure you want to use GPL?" which written on Thursday, February 12, 2009. As Armin Ronacher mentioned that:

Recap -- "Before you license your code under an Open Source license: Think about the license! Both types of licenses have their advantages and disadvantages and it would be stupid to use the GPL without thinking just because “everybody does”. Many just do because they haven't read the license either."

Technology: Can Open Source Help Healthcare?

Technology: Can Open Source Help Healthcare?

This is the content, so I really excited again. I was crazy and wondering that if one can create an open platform for medical product development community. Analysis of these processes is necessary. By the community to create a completely open architecture different from the traditional type of establishment the business model. But subsequently faced the question is: how the flow of funds within the organization gain the trust of the community? Who is to determine the product reliability? product strategy development model evolve? product development cycle need to absolutely set the tone?Although these problems persist and fermentation. But I can think is: if in the future continue to operate through the community to demonstrate the practical: an open architecture that can complete the human health care products.

How Qt could bring better third-party software to Ubuntu

How Qt could bring better third-party software to Ubuntu

A great software engineering behind both a visionary program to develop forward-looking direction far. But what is the best use of the most needed or available to the most original use of the development tools?  From the Ubuntu started with Qt as its third-party software manufacturers promote the point of view, we seem to be aware of this intention of the two organizations: Since Qt uses LGPL, the company makes the most use of the free use or profit-making products, and more widely to promote Qt.

New LGPL Python bindings for Qt slither into the light

New LGPL Python bindings for Qt slither into the light

There is a Project called PySide is established by the OpenBossa and Nokia, and its purpose is to provide structure in the LGPL Python Bindings to link to Qt Toolkit. This is a major bullish news, though different from the Riverbank Computing's PyQt dual license: GPL and commercial license.

But I'm a Python novice, to the discovery of a new book called Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt, began first as a way to learn Python.

I feel I must first learn Python, but also need to closely observe between Nokia and OpenBossa future direction. To prepare need to switch to PySide.

To start PySide, go to Get Involved.

My third Python book

Rapid GUI Programming with Python and QT: The Definitive Guide to PyQt Programming 

which is differed to prior two books that I bought, this book is brought to you that building GUI prototypes or full-fledged cross-platform GUI applications with native look-and-feel, PyQt 4 is your fastest, easiest, most powerful solution. So that's what I want. 

The examples are here.

Let's see Phil Thompson Talks About PyQt and PyQt in Wikipedia. 

Gotcha's: developing commercial software with PyQT vrs PySide

 

謝謝

人生的方向, 這問題太深奧; 很遙遠, 不好玩!
現在的生活, 很滿足; 但不要太奢求, 卻值得玩味一番.

小學可以有心儀欣賞的玩伴; 國中可以有愛慕的對象; 高中可以有真實發展的角色; 大學可以過得精彩繽紛的生活, 碩博士要得又是啥玩意? 還好這些我都不是!

這似乎早已不重要, 可不是!?

四十不惑之齡, 顯得格外分明! 不知何時開始, 生活不再祇是一個人的事, 往前努力活在當下的愉悅, 必須有妳才行!

努力往前邁向一個未知的領域, 並非催眠自己, 盲目追隨; 重在絕對相信自己的眼光!
開心可以有現在愉悅從容自在的生活態度, 環繞四周, 一片放牛班景象; 生處其中, 自當出淤泥而不染; 前人早已逝, 後人續重生.

相互扶持, 謹記莫貪瞋癡癲, 才能減少阻礙, 通往未來.

IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

I got this err:
File "ru16.py", line 23
self.relay = Serial(port = port)
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

after I edited my python codes as following:

def __init__(self, port = '/dev/ttyUSB0', bps = 9600, timeout = 0.1):
"""Open serial port, set baud rate, timeout,
switch all relays off immediately"""
self.relay = Serial(port = port)
self.relay.xonxoff = False
self.relay.rtscts = False
self.relay.baudrate = bps
self.relay.timeout = timeout
self.relay.open()
self.allOff()

Later I found that it's because I've somehow mixed up tabs and spaces in my gedit editor. So if you met with this same err as mine. There might be spaces mixed in with your tabs. Try doing a search&replace to replace all tabs with a few spaces.

You could use:

python -m tabnanny yourfile.py

to check or instead you just set up your editor correctly.

Install eric4 IDE

For some reasons, I'd like to install eric4 IDE to have fun. After I downloaded install package, there's README.txt file shows that the following steps of installation must get them and install them in the following order (order is important).

    ~/python configure.py
    QScintilla 2.4.5 is being used.
    PyQt 4.7.6 is being used.
    Qt v4.6.2 free edition is being used.

6. Download eric4-4.4.8.tar.gz and Install eric4
    but I've not installed successfully and got err below:

    ~/python install.py
    Checking dependencies
    Python Version: 2.6.5
    An internal error occured.  Please report all the output of the program,
    including the following traceback, to eric4-bugs@eric-ide.python-projects.org.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "install.py", line 831, in 
    main(sys.argv)
    File "install.py", line 744, in main
    doDependancyChecks()
    File "install.py", line 516, in doDependancyChecks
    from PyQt4.QtCore import qVersion, PYQT_VERSION
    RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.QtCore       
    module  requires API v7.1

    so I sent an email to eric4-bugs@eric-ide.python-projects.org, then replies as below:

"You probably updated sip to a newer version. Once you do this, you must either
update PyQt4 as well or build it from your sources using the newer sip. After
you've done this, don't forget to rebuild the QScintilla Python bindings. The
issue is not related to eric in any way."


    I got this err since my PyQt version is 4.7.2, so I removed all my PyQt by "Synaptic Package Manager" and download a version 4.7.6 from PyQt4 PyQt-x11-gpl-4.7.6.tar.gz

    ~/sudo python install.py

    [sudo] password for adam:

[轉載]博士是甚麼?

意外看到了這一標題, 它很清楚的表達了所謂的博士; 簡單明白, 有教育意涵; 但它卻最後提醒了各位別忘了你的來時路.

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

这篇来自美国犹他大学的助理教授Matt Might，原址在这里。汉化：阮一峰

译者注解：
美国犹他大学的助理教授Matt Might，用这组图解释，博士学位到底是什么意思。他说，每年都有新生的入学教育，但是有些观点语言说不清楚，不如画图。
我觉得，这组图真的很好懂，而且一点没错，博士就应该是图中的意思。老子说”大道至简”，可是真的要很简单地表达出来，却是非常难的一件事。

1. 假设人类所有的知识，就是一个圆。圆的内部代表已知，圆的外部代表未知。

2. 读完小学，你有了一些最基本的知识。

3. 读完中学，你的知识又多了一点。

4. 读完本科，你不仅有了更多的知识，而且还有了一个专业方向。

5. 读完硕士，你在专业上又前进了一大步。

6.进入博士生阶段，你大量阅读文献，接触到本专业的最前沿。

7. 你选择边界上的一个点，也就是一个非常专门的问题，作为自己的主攻方

8. 你在这个点上苦苦思索，也许需要好几年。

9. 终于有一天，你突破了这个点。

10. 你把人类的知识向前推进了一步，这时你就成为博士了。

11. 现在你就是最前沿，其他人都在你身后。

12. 但是，不要陶醉在这个点上，不要把整张图的样子忘了。

My second Python book

I bought my second Python handbook called Python 3 技術手冊.  The author is the funder of http://www.python.tw/ . This handbook is exactly what I want. Sometimes that reading a technical book wrote in English is good for learning English. But for me now, the fast way to finish my first UI python program and write an unique, compact even more powerful and reuseful classes and libaries is now my first top priority after daily work. Last week I also bought a book called GIMP創意影像設計18堂課. I like this open source software, but now I can not use it. So I expectedly hope to use it as tool to design my web pictures.

Pick and Place Outputs Options

I have problem about generating Pick and Place file. The value of Center-Y is bigger than the board Y size, how can I fix this problem?
After spent some hot surfing, found http://wiki.altium.com/display/ADOH/Preparing+the+Board+for+Design+Transfer said Moving the Board Shape which I think that I successfully moved the board into origin point then go for generating pick and place file.

From Design > Board Option to check current sheet position. My sheet position is X: 25.4mm, Y:25.4mm, Width: 254mm, Height: 203.2mm.

Then follow instructions above to use Move Board Shape to move shape to oringin (0, 0). Select Edit » Move » Move Selection by X, Y, then enter X: -25.4mm, Y:-25.4mm.

The root cause was that I didn't clean soldering paste well with cleaner around SDRAM. Actually this is surprised for me! Since I frequently didn't clean soldering paste after rework or repair while faced over than or equally 4 layers pcba. So this implies another phenomenon. The data bus run along only top side is really dangerous and easily encountered unexpected equivalent impedance caused by other materials mixed with buses.

A Videogame that Teaches Japanese

Kotodama is targeted towards high school age kids with an interest in videogames and Japanese anime. It developed by using Panda3D. Panda3D is a game engine, a framework for 3D rendering and game development for Python and C++ programs. This is some sort of my dreams.

A homemade receiver for GPS & GLONASS satellites

這世界上真正懂Global Positioning System (GPS) and the russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) 理論又能親手用最遠古的技術全DIY, 打造出來; 在台灣我沒見過; 恐怕也難有人懂所有打造接受器所需要的所有技術與知識. 現在返樸歸真應該要多多推行, 參考 Matjaz Vidmar 的業餘世界裡如何親手製作這套系統: 理論、類比電路、數位電路以及軟體. 這是相當令人著迷的. 太欣賞這樣的大師級人物了!

Copyleft & Copyright

一直以來我總是覺得韓愈的"聞道有先後, 術業有專攻"這論調是正確的, 但需要再加兩句話！但是否一定是非要尊師重道, 亦或是非得要至少經過技能檢定才算是基本術業有成？現代的學生很辛苦, 在學校要抬老師的轎, 自己的創意最後也要冠上老師的大名; 然後才叫尊師嗎？出了社會為了糊口飯吃還要注意自己的作品是否觸犯了別人的發明與專利？渾蛋一籮筐! 那如果無法術業有專攻, 就抹煞了人出生下來應有的享受嗎？我不想說權利. 因為會有人說也要有義務. 真的是這樣嗎？! 最近在 Community 上有一些人發表新的 "Open Hardware Creative Commons Draft" 定義, 我個人覺得很無聊！說穿了, 不就是又想要另闢一片天地. 何須呢？ 如同我同事 XiangFu的一篇好文章"自由 共享 合作 融合"所述, 我們應該停止再做這樣子的事. 如維基百科"海納百川，有容乃大"一樣採用CC-by-sa-3.0協議 真正自由 共享 合作 融合, 而不是限制 約束 封閉 保護!!!

因為“教會徒弟”，會“餓死師傅”, 所以要“訂定規則，尋求創新”？舉凡發明專利等制度是所為何來？從小到大，考試寫作文章，不都是要引經據典越多分數越高？不都是只要署名即可？難道像是我寫這文章時韓愈會冒出來大聲罵我你隨便亂用，要告我侵權，賠賞他這位已故的大文豪!!! 若是我現在仿冒了王羲之的大作, 各位想看看會如何？

但活生生了到近代卻不同, 創立了一堆自私自利的遊戲規則. 阻礙了人類先天自然的發展.

想法、文化、思想、軟體、硬體與許許多多的東西都變成了"聞道有先後, 雖術業有專攻; 非創新標異者, 勿任意使用" ,這所有一切的阻礙物, 都是貪瞋癡癲的創作品.

推薦大家使用"創用CC" 接觸這新的方法, 可以脫離以上的怪象, 但大家還是要多多熟識創用CC 的幾種不同協議用法, 以選擇出適合自己的. 所以應該要可以是"聞道有先後, 術業有專攻; 使用CC-by-sa-3.0協議 ,可自由使用"才是.

哼！無論是 Copyleft 或是 Copyright, 在各自的遊戲規則下也都只好乖乖遵守ㄅㄟ. 這世界上似乎就是這樣, 當然我們不希望一種現象它是永遠不滅的, 正因為這世界上還有一群人提倡著 Copyleft 得以讓人們知道原來還有一種選擇. 就像我現在幾乎離不開 Linux 一樣了, 才知原來作業系統作啥非得要W勒, 而且現在 Ubuntu 系統越來越愛不釋手了.

不過不是痛恨 W , 而是各有各的優缺點.
大家各取所需吧! 東=西, 西=東. 呵呵呵

優遊自然的生活參考書

看了報紙，欣喜閱讀了一篇好報導 : "生態教養 范欽慧帶女兒 大自然裡找感動"，感興趣的可以直接 google 一下。為何對她印象深刻呢?! 其實是有一回我搭311公車經過台大，遇見一位非常令我感覺平易近人的中年女乘客，她手中玲著裝有幾隻小蝦子, 水草及池水的袋子；旁邊坐著的是一位阿嬤帶著小孫女。自然好奇的小女孩展露充滿自然無比好奇的童語不斷地訊問這位女乘客。她開始像是將池塘裡活生生的生態教育課直接在這班公車後座段部分上起課來了。

我感受到她難以形容的影響力可以穿透這都會生活中市井小民的文化裡，而這樣的文化有了她的出現體驗了另一種生活氣息。

而看了相關范欽慧的新聞報導，才使我聯想到公車上的這段小插曲。也許哪一天，我應該去看看她接拍公視的《黑潮三部曲》與《跟著節氣去旅行》。她的 blog 立地台灣(NATIVE) 非常值得推薦。特別是她在國立教育電台製作主持的節目：每週日下午五點的自然筆記。大家可以去聆聽看看。

吃得精光

大家一定都去過夜市吃小吃，我也喜歡，但到是沒那麼常去。通常都是一時興起。今晚跑去南雅夜市逛逛，想說就先吃藥燉排骨好了。吃著吃著~我做啥顧別人看我的吃相呢?那排骨不就是越是把藏在骨頭間所有的肉跟筋都吃下肚，越是 enjoy 嗎?! 不是就是夜市小吃的魅力嗎?!本來我還有點彆扭的，正好前桌有一家人吃的正起勁! 最令我稱羨的畫面是爸爸啃著骨頭，雙手猛使勁的想將所有骨頭都將它支離，好吃下那藏在骨縫間任何的一絲絲嫩筋肉! 兒子也跟著像是抓把手扒雞一般猛地撕扯!!! 真是讓我也不管三七二十一了，撕扯吧! 反倒是女孩子們都較秀氣點。那位媽媽也是。

最近猛看"不能結婚的男人"，男主角為了看煙火，獨自一人去觀賞，更帶了美酒佳餚，盡情享受那霎那間的華麗夜空。

我不就是真想吃嗎?! 管別人做啥? 忽然間白癡到心想看誰吃的比較乾淨? 哈哈哈~ "絲"肉無存~~

吃著吃著~總會想起小時後，老爸退休時，總是會釣很多魚回來。結果後來我都非得要把吳郭魚的魚肉吃到只剩下每一隻骨頭魚刺，都清清楚楚地可以分離開來~~是一種喜悅一個思念~~

還有吃的飯粒要一粒不剩。

而今晚我沒有美酒，哈哈~但有麻油(雞)麵線的稻香米酒!!!

2010年台灣國際銀髮族暨健康照護產業展

一定以為我跑去哪裡拍的是吧?! NO!!! 路過台北市政府前的路旁大花盆拍低。

抽空第一次去看銀髮族暨健康照護產業展覽，本想看看有哪些新鮮的點子或產業，到沒覺得有哪些很特別，可能還真沒到銀髮ㄅㄟ。哈~~

意外發現有一家 SolidYear 原是家傳統電腦周邊設計製造商，卻開始轉型往個人居家生活助理產品邁進。他們出了一款利用一般家庭常用的多盞標準E27燈泡插座，聰明地將一般的IP Camera設計如更換E27燈泡一般容易安裝，而視訊訊號更是透過AC 110V電源線直接傳送到一只橋接器後，便可以簡單的接到一般IP分享器。就因為自己以前曾接觸過監控產業，特別覺得這家很聰明。跟一位PM閒聊後，他們也知DVR，IP CAMERA，VIDEO SERVER等市場競爭非常激烈，獲利不佳。他們的後端系統整合的算是很好。這項"遠端關懷即插用 Any.Easy Cam"利用電源線傳輸影像，可對接16隻攝影鏡頭。可即時或預約錄影，觸發警示功能可即時發送E-mail。可上網3G手機或電腦隨時隨地觀看。與一般DVR沒兩樣。

另外 Bolgarli 的 Wellness 衛您洗馬桶超喜歡。DM 製作的非常用心，我幾乎幻想如劉德華的親愛的馬桶一樣，在以前內湖上班時的馬桶就是讓人有"親密摯友"的感覺。只能說下一次浴廁要對自己好一點，來裝這種每天好好對待自己~哈哈哈~品牌阿品牌~就是沒話說~

有一個叫做"智慧型數位桌"，點子還挺 OK的。現在六七八年級的應該大部分都會使用電腦吧!? 過些年社區的老人社交互動~用這個4人可同時操作的觸控桌子應該就算不會電腦，觸控一下，隨手可得我想。看到這裡~你大概也想到: 那有沒有4人數位麻將桌阿?! 有!!! 但我忘了拿 DM~呵呵

未來居家看護，恐怕又會是百家爭鳴，到處是無線有線夾雜。亂阿!~~居家看護如果可以有像系統整合保全公司如中興等等大型後端軟體整合~再加上社區醫院資訊整合連線~那家家戶戶如果可以以租借各式血壓計，血糖計，脈搏計等~就不會這麼亂嚕~~政府若是可以訂出大方向就好囉!!!當然我這是遙不可及啦。不過算了~一個全民健保就虧這麼多錢了。

總之~屁股大~肚子大~大腿粗~的人喔，上了年紀後，要養身喔。多多運動，就不需要這些輔助設備啦。

Milkymist One

After 6 months, Milkymist One has manufactured by Sharism. This is designed by Milkymist.org . They successfully demonstrated new Milkymist SOC v0.6 on Milkymist One prototype. There are more information about development, process and document recorded in Qi Hardware wiki page. Their copyleft conceipts let you can re-produce the product under CC-BY-SA & GFDL license. Amazing? Right? Yes, you can produce them from those copylef knowledge to build your own product. I support manufacturing of Milkymist One project and currently work for Sharism. This first RC1 version is now completedly produced. So far Milkymist.org now is developing the software on Spartan-6 FPGA. Hopefully we'll see a total solution of this hardware platform soon. And eveyone can re-produce them whatever they want. You can take a look on this board here.

Qtime Open book

多年以前跟朋友曾去漫畫王, 但沒啥特別舒適感, 可能跟我當時心情有關吧! 今天路過想想累了就進去 Qtime Open book 忠孝店, 既然來了就不想看自己帶來的書. 隨手拿了許多雜誌來看; 看到了我最喜歡的 Janet 上了封面人物耶, 總是要忍不住多看看這美麗不做作的她! 根本我都不知道我拿得雜誌是寫啥的～總之～那不重要! 看著她我心情自然好就好囉. 後來才知我看的是《男人幫》 雜誌, 適逢創刊10週年, 找來《瘋台灣》的主持人 Janet 做封面人物 : The Real Woman In The Real World -- Janet!!! 男人幫編輯群有眼光~~所見略同~~哈哈哈~~

對 Janet 的了解並非外貌使然, 但哪個男人不會多看一眼, 我可不信! 但真正吸引我的, 是她的個性. 不須特別如何形容她囉, 只要瀏覽過幾篇她的 blog 就會喜歡了, or

第一次看男人幫雜誌, 直覺是以後去書店都要看它一眼. 這群編輯群, 我這次是開了眼見, 超喜歡的～XD真是笨蛋~~ 我的腦袋現在感覺超屌的~~

另外發現有人特別介紹《真旅網》很不錯, 下次我就來試試唄.

自由軟件的文化

最近因為有空就學一下 Python，但學習基礎功，總是枯燥乏味的。但總給自己鼓勵，書中真有黃金屋的!!!而這黃金幻想是無比踏實的喜悅滿足感。所有真能實現夢想的人，多半不是理智者。一個可實現看得到的東西，往往出自狂熱分子的強烈欲望使然，但畢竟是人。我學了一下，當然已見到Python 無語能比的強大，與我可以想像到的東西由它來揮灑。但我卻忘了所有open source 最最原本的面貌是簡單。

偶然機會今天看了一下同事 XiangFu 的 blog 一篇文有關自由軟件的文化，讓我心中又激起無限的可能與熱情。我超喜歡他最後寫的一句話" 只要我们每天都在学习进步。早晚会有质的变化。"~~呵呵~可不是嗎!

Milkymist project news, May 20th

Milkymist has posted news on http://lekernel.net/blog/?p=1043. From my views, being as an pioneer who strongly insists on promoting the live synthesis of interactive visual effects for VJs (video performance artists). It's not easy for me to do this thing even I've been not found my interesting area. But there's an obvious phenomenon is only do what you CAN do or easily LEARN from your current skills you have now. And  keep moving forward then a few contributors will join your paradise yard. Doesn't it?

I like his idea on three sub-projects: the Milkymist™ One interactive VJ station ( I am supporting him on this. ), the Milkymist™ SoC and the Flickernoise VJ software. All of them are huge and not available now. How I can learn from him to handle those three big projects is important to me. Because I still have also three big ideas to be moving on this moment. No idea that I can kick off myself. Am I lost myself now?

But again, I like activity of the STOP Software Patents . EU Petition. When will Taiwan also come out this kind of one? Don't know. I gave my point views on here.

My First Python Book

Eventually I bought a book of Programming Python by Mark Lutz. Why I wanted to buy this handbook. The reasons are:
1, Free Tool, not like other Wxxx...
2, Easily readable back when I am elder.
3, Don't need to learn new Wxxx....operation system every time when OS is upgraded.
4, Learn this language one time in Linux then get myself happiness.
5, Build my own test environment.
6, Learn a GUI tool by Python to go for my goals to have a retirement plan.

Christopher  & Carlos suggested me also to learn this great language. They have more experiences than me in this such field. Especially Christopher pointed me that thewikireader.com repository which have a testudo I can start to study from it. That's the test program he did for that device. I was happy that I can co-work with him when I was at openmoko. So no more wrong directions should be happened unexpectedly as following their past ways in possessing skills with over ten to twenty years. How such stupid I did to follow Wxxxxx....for several years! I made a very very stupid mistake! There are tons of softwares that use Python here. Damn it! I learn this too slow! Well.....actually not slow to an elder Adam now. I'll see where I can go. But then a real one thing is that I really got an obliviousness about leaving my scooter stayed at underground parking of Taipei Shien City Hall. And took a 307 bus back home. As usual way to back my home. Suddenly, indeed I am very elder now..hehe..

I was thinking that Future this word is not meant you should make yourself ready on something then you will meet or make it. What I am envolving on the field is  an unknown businese model or scale we meet. Looking on video below you will see that how and where those comminities are moving forward. How to make FUNny open source hardware with easy is a much exciting topic for me. I tried to find a way that can easily come through via normal live and life. But it's not easy also not difficult somehow. Start from ground, fly in the sky!

NanoNote+Arduino Video Clip

David posted an application that using Ben NanoNote pocket computer and Arduino plateform. If you are interested with them, you can aslo see more info from here.

Incredible! So such fantastic! The stunning voice comes unexpectedly. Without a doubt that her performance shows extraordinarily sanguine 'singer'. What I've learnt from this is believing your whiz which is only you can do. Everyone is pulled willy-nilly into this legend. Me too. This program makes me remembered an article called TV Could Nourish Minds and Hearts. Ellwood Kieser(TIME, Sept. 14, 1992, p. 80). I liked its said. Look at her! Her's every piece of smiles is so purely innocence. Not only her voice also this made my eye almost tear. I believe that approves wonderful thing of The Sound of Music is existed everywhere.

2nd Trip to Shenzhen

如前次一般，再次又來到熟悉的赤鱲角機場，不同的是，這次我選擇乘坐國泰航空，讓自己旅途舒適點。此時還是早上 9: 20 分，已抵達這裡，沒有9年前的興奮但也沒有莫名的感傷。有時候祇是會慶幸現在的自己，雖無拘無束，卻也不會殷切奇盼著有很特別的未來。 8 點下了飛機，正等著搭船去內地的我。很高興可以去見見老闆，心情不再是壓力的呈現。

超乎平靜心情的我，只待靜靜享受這片刻的悠閒。想起機上看了一齣義大利風情介紹中，有句話很棒，與各位分享；{歷史，就在每一個人的生活中；莎士比亞}，可不是呢​​?大家都在寫著各自的歷史故事著。

我很怕暈船，今天的香港機場渡船碼頭風蠻大的，看著渡船搖晃的樣子，生平平衡感不好的我~不是滋味!!! 還好坐著坐著遙望遠處好一些。

這回沒有像上次那樣有買材料的壓力，這次邊吃飯邊閒聊著以後的方向。晚上我們多是去品嘗中式料理，W吃得挑一點，我呢吃ㄆㄣ長大的，甚麼都好! Yi 和我當然會點一些我們喜歡的東西~哈哈~~我跟Yi說W太胖了該注意些~W也老總是再說再說啦~這次W變成老人家了~腰扭著了，我都忘了拍拍他的樣子~哈哈~一路這三天半我們都說笑著~不過W總要喝 Starbuck說是動力的來源! 我倆只好都順著他!~他其實總是嘴硬~呵呵~後來才知道他以前不喝 coffee的，是在OM咖啡因中毒了~ㄏㄏ。

我們像是小孩一樣，總是要求他們快一點啦~錢不是問題等等的~有時受不了內地人的做事方式，但隔天後；W總又會說: 他可能感受壓力很大，我們還是放過他好了；免得他受不了我們等等的~~呵呵。

早上喜歡去一家肉包店吃早餐的路上，意外看見台灣熟悉的房地產早操，是徐懷鈺的歌，好熟悉喔，ㄏㄏ。

我們住的地方正好是賽格電子廣場正對面，這棟赤尾大廈裡，有這裡難得一見的便宜房價。約RMB160，可以參考看看，附近相對都很貴的。距離華強電子市場盡在眼裡，所以是個商務採購的好處所。

回程早些來到機場，躺著睡了半小時，以前會瘋狂的走遍各個閘口，拍拍來自世界各地的各家航空飛機，現在我不會了。

CX468 航班來了......

回程航班CX468，請大家往後順序接著排隊，地勤人員不斷的重覆著......這是七八年前看不到的景象。前些時候，我對此曾經氣憤過。現在我卻不會了......因為此刻的我安靜地欣賞著各地的各國民情~他們也在學習的同時，我也在學著~~自己別有色無色的吧~

Uncluttering the copyleft hardware planet

"Copyleft hardware is commercial hardware, targeted to non-technical folks, people who want to have a life and are in no way clamoring for an opportunity to build their own electronic devices. Copyleft hardware really needs a good looking case. It's not do-it-yourself hardware, it's not for makers, it's for manufacturers." said by Wolfgang. For more details, see this.

到目前為止吃過最合我味口的手工水煎包

有空又來三峽老街走走, 意外吃到我從沒吃過的口味. 以前吃的手工水煎包總是油泥膩的, 內外都是油, 也鹹重味; 只要看到路邊有總會想試吃一兩顆看看. 這家{萬味風}只做兩種: 一高麗菜包二是鮮肉包. 最近因為不喜吃肉, 只叫了一顆高麗菜包, 剛吃那一口就好心滿意足, 很訝異. 因為外皮完全不油膩, 底層也不煎味十足, 肉餡就是剛剛好合我口, 很喜歡.  你看那煎包上方都白嫩嫩不是黃色那般就知道特別了, 雖然我有經過金牛角店, 但就是沒買, 寧願選這, 哈哈. 跟老闆說借我拍一下~好不好? 他直說 : 現在有數位相機真方便喔? 我連忙說是阿. 還請我多多宣傳一下下,  ㄏㄏ

Text To Speech

I've seen TTS tech before but still not find what I like. The TTS system you can imagine everytime that you will listen the boarding gate message when you are at airport terminal. The reminding messages generated from thus TTS systtem boardcasting. So here I find a China company called ANHUI USTC iFLYTEK Co., Ltd. I still search that beautiful female voice messages like airport broadcasting in Taiwan. If someone knows this system, for example, who produces this system? Is there any vendors related to this in Taiwan? or Any high level voice chip vendor, please let me know. I am not searching the game voice broadcasting one.

Placement, Routing & Sourcing

I am working for one project which is an interactive VJ station. Placement, Routing & Sourcing, yeah...Although there's a lot of works, but it's funny and happy to enjoy this. This industry is very new and interesting for me. Although long long time ago I have been worked in this field before. Especially TV post-production industry, so I have seen many equipments in post production studioroom. For example the famous Avid system, video mixer, etc. I should say this industry to be as Broadcast Engeering. I had have no idea and background on electrical electronic since worked as assistant engineer in 1993 & 1994. This lets me remember my coach Simon who was came from HK. I cherished that incredible experience. Won't forget it! I am thinking that is it possible I can combine this field into my business later? Don't know. Will see.

生活中的好朋友~財團法人凌華教育基金會

偶爾看看大愛, 生活中可以充滿感恩與幸福. 今天看了"混障縱藝團"的介紹, 推薦給大家, 生活中真正的匱乏不是物質, 從"混障"的活動內容, 讓大家可以聽聽你真實內心底的聲音, 告訴自己:"我一點都不缺啥, 缺的是一顆滿足感恩的心"~一種對生命的感動. ~ 輪轉人生 -- 劉銘. 非常喜歡他講的話: 我是最能夠把心動跟行動縮短距離的人~ 他的週遭朋友稱劉銘是一個最缺乏行動, 可是最具有行動力的人......劉氏格言: 樂觀的人是看到困難被後的機會, 悲觀的人是看到機會後面的困難.

隔離島

和朋友去京站威秀影城~看隔離島~心理有些觀後感想

劇中的男主角~雖然妻子因神精異常將三位小孩給溺斃~不能接受因而也親手將老婆給斃了~但卻從此心中無法面對竟而自己也開始神精異常~

我不懂啥是神經異常的定義~但似乎發現是否異常的由來~是可能源起於一些無法接受的事實, 或經歷極度後悔事件之後~為了不知如何面對自己的情況下~所作出一系列圓謊, 舒解或是逃避的心理狀態.

我不知自己若是戲中的男主角~自己會怎做? 人人皆會犯錯~又或著是錯過了彌補的時機後常感到無法面對自我~~如同男主角若是早讓老婆去看神經醫學科等, 是否就不會發生這一連串的...但難買早知道! 我們一般人如果學會看待有此類診狀的心理狀態? 並透過親朋好友如何協助轉移這類想法? 或是也是我們看戲之餘可深省的地方.

我們常常在工作, 生意, 感情, 家庭間會有挫折~但怎麼健康的走過這一切~確真的需要智慧. 我自己也做錯過~不是嗎? 總之~這是部很能讓人可說出心裡的戲.

我跟朋友對於最後的結尾煞是感到驚訝!!! 因為被劇情的真實與虛幻間給揶揄了很久~~最後我對這部戲~非常欣賞~更覺得對李奧納多的演技真是大開眼界.

太屌啦～～你無法想像的無弦數位吉他

我上網 google 了一下, 真給他找到,...請看 http://www.misadigital.com/.
弦樂器改成右手觸控指撥, 左手一樣可以撥弄合弦. 喜歡電吉他的愛樂者, 別錯過了這難得的創新產品. 不過他的設計也是基於 Linux 平台, 不過我可不欣賞他的"Patent Pending", 取之於 Linux 卻搞 Patent!!! 希望有志者, 跟他拼了, 來個 Open Source Digital Guitar.

象山步道

今天並未真正到象山步道走去~我只是想去信義吳興街那看看走走~先是知道了步道入口, 後覺得天氣不是太好~作罷! 到是去了松山區吃了碗喜歡的魷魚粳麵(在松德天上媽祖廟前)~ 個人覺得味道挺ok的, 每次來吳興街逸仙路附近就有種默名的親近感~很舒服.

關於[必教會孩子的事？] 的民調

今天我看到這民調, 我其實一點不覺得如何.
http://tw.quiz.polls.yahoo.com/quiz/quizresults.php?stack_id=2465&wv=1 

上述引用來自Yahoo!奇摩新聞. 但我很納悶的事就是這則民調的出發點為何? 

這些結果是來自誰的看法或期望呢? 從 1. 品德禮貌 ~ 到 15. 獨立思考 這麼多選項, 就表示成人父母們對孩子的[望子成龍, 望女成鳳] ? ......我只知道一件很重要的事而已: 上梁不正, 下樑歪 .  當自己都做不好時, 想教會孩子, 多數能成功嗎?

所以應該也要有一項民調給小朋友們來填寫勾選才是, 不是嗎? 

『必教會為人父母者必學會的事?』如何? 所有社會現象來自最基本的家庭, 孩子無辜阿!!!

Happy to Chinese New Year

Time goes fast, last year was past. There's so much woderful things and thanksgiving in 2009. Of course had have sad ones. But being a moving forward. Cheer up! The new coming Chinese Tiger New Year! 

Thanksgiving Date to Everyone

I am really feeling that what I have now, what I haven't till now, what I will have or whatever it will be later....I thank all of everthing and everyone. I have long time no have such thanksgiving feeling. Any positve stream fills inside of my hearth is to feel more powerful. I hope that everyone can cherish on that what they have now...do not think too many what they don't have too much.
Even I am still single but feel in a state of bliss at this moment. One more week, it'll be having the Chiese New Year. This year I don't have yearly bonus. It's not big deal as a full strong sufficing feelings to be full of my heart. Cause I did one donate thing today. It let me felt good.
While writing this, I am listening to my best web radio http://www.181.fm/playing.php?station=181-lite80s&embed=1. To anyone who I loved before can have a feeling with psychological well-being.

Fingerprint Sensor

I am searching those fingerprint sensors that I can use it by implementing my project before. The question is that I used a 256x256 grey scale sensor with bmp file captured before. This is not a new tech now. I just want to explore those software or digital signal inside of techs. Some issues I need to solve them before I implement it by linux program:
a) translate Matlab again into C++ codes
b) apply dsp tool kit especially fft and convolution to implement matlab codes
c) find a hardware platform for this basic dsp and also can accept directly digital format like CCIR-656 from fingerprint sensor
d) linux learning
e) etc

宮崎駿--螢火蟲之墓

螢火蟲之墓看完後,令我蒙生一個念頭, 這是加深我心中一直想做但找不到著力點的一件事, 希望老天爺能聽的見.

誠品信義店

每次到誠品信義店就像是進入一個特別的國度, 很舒適也可以很悠閒的瀰漫在書海香氣裡, 這裡很適合安安靜靜的待一個下午, 看累了, 隨地而坐, 可以好好歇一會兒. 很喜歡這樣的感覺. 相信生活在台北的人, 是幸福的... 有這麼一個像是短暫休憩的溫馨又安靜的場所, 運氣好還可以親眼目睹大師或作家演講, 想喝點飲料, 也可不用再外出, 這棟總店商場裡就有. 真是好耶. 不過今天我沒買書或雜誌, ㄏㄏ.

發明家副教授 30年捐2億多

關於這則新聞, 其實個人有些淺見. 拋磚引玉肯定是件好事; 但請試想申請專利的所得到底它的原來面貌是甚麼? 能夠默默奉獻30年, 絕對是件好事, 但並非人人皆可做到!
從小我們在學校學習時, 若沒有政府蓋校, 父母養育, 何來經濟體供應個人可不斷充實知識進而申請專利或發明? 換言之, 所有所謂的知識, 除真正無師自通外, 可說全來自其他, 並非個人. 所有專利發明的申請之念真是為了更美好的人類生活? 還是再創造出另一個溫室效應的地球生態實驗環境??? 一件好事若能堅持持續做, 是在基本經濟基礎能支撐或是堅信基本原則的情況下, 才能持之以恆. 這事的確值得表彰, 但試問千千萬萬人在申請專利與發明的動機時, 又是啥? 有多少人能像這副教授一樣? 所有的企業體其產值如果要去對等二氧化碳百分比時? 一個大型企業再如何宣稱其產值或其回饋社會地球經費與營利比是永遠對地球生態有利的? 有嗎?

Gesture Recognition / Microsoft's project Natal

You must see this news about Project Natal. It's really cool. But actually it has been developed for more than 20 years in the universities. Of course we're expecting the famous companies can make this come true into current life. The New York Times has a report and video for this. Also this application can be promoted like this. It's incredible for future shopping. And also if you want to know that how this techs can be brought into game world. You can visit http://www.natalxbox360.com/ to know all of those news around.

今天難得有興致, 約am11點出門, 下午3:45到板橋; 風景讓我跌破眼睛. 以後可以多多去這條步道走走. 我基本上是照著 http://blog.xuite.net/criticallogic/hiking/27677087 走的, 我最喜歡的是櫻花林步道.太久沒走了, 走到我腳酸死了, 後來把時間加長ㄅㄟ...到處晃晃, 還好有帶食物上去, 要不可慘囉...

XBOX 360 messenger Kit

I bought a Messenger Kit today. It's a really cool accessory. I like its shape but dislike its connector.

As you see such a monopolized freak again. Neither pure functionality for 2.5mm headset connector nor power connector purpose. Anyway...I just like this small and nice keyboard. For some reasons, I tried to find any software related to this Xbox, then yes. There's one great site called Xbox-Linux. The Xbox Linux Project aims to provide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer. Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow the user to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.

Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient device(PPTC, Resettable Fuse)

PPTC can protect against overcurrent faults in your circuit. So my question is how we can choose a PPTC device? What circuit's parameters in my design needed to determine first? And how to use those parameters to map manufacturer's catalogs. So there's a title of "Selection steps from the Catalog" which can be found in Fundamentals of PolySwitch Overcurrent and Overtemperature Devices. If you want to use PPTC in your USB circuit design, you can see "PTC Overcurrent Protection for Universal Serial Bus Circuit Designs" or "Meeting USB Overcurrent Protection Requirements" for help.

Vendor Ref.:

1, Hansor Polymer Technology Corp.

2, FUZETEC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. 

Stop Software Patents Petition

As title shown, what the hell is going? Why one group growing up aims to vow to stop software patents as petition which can be proposed around in Europe? And why not in Asia and America? Does this question is fantastic talk or unreality? Watching the link of title, you will get all the answers. But I have a question? Why does this world need close and open groups together? They cant face each side as well. Why? For better benefit? or really for good innovation created better? ACTUALLY I DON'T KNOW. Like my east3yrswest3yrs, I only want to say that east equals west, on the contrary; west still equals east. If you desire to have that benefit. As they have belonged to or monopolized by someones already, or you would just not have proposed expectably something to against.

Comparisons on special module implemented between KiCad and others layout tool

These days I am little bit pissing myself off to learn KiCad that loving it but hardly to me on linux side. In order to overcome my poor linux skill, i must use my linux laptop everyday. Not only basic also electronic engineering requirements. We are using a two circle rings as button function in KiCad, but there still have some problems. I'd like to fix it but i cant at this moment from ability. So only need spend more time on KiCad field. The followings are just posted on Qi wiki first.

• Comparisons between RC1 and RC2

S50 key btn on RC1 board

avt2 RC1 S50 key

The following pictures are gerbers in different stacking layers

Comparisons on avt2 RC1 and RC2

avt2 RC1 S50 Copper/Text	avt2 RC2 S50 Copper/Text
avt2 RC1 S50 Copper/Mask	avt2 RC2 S50 Copper/Mask
avt2 RC1 S50 Copper/Mask/Solder	avt2 RC2 S50 Copper/Mask/Solder
avt2 RC1 S50 Copper/Drill	avt2 RC2 S50 Copper/Drill

• Problem 1

The rc2 mask and solder layer are not circle as same as rc1, if this is the KiCad's limit, then we need to think other way to solve this. Since the metal domn must not contact with copper well when user push buttons due to contact area is too small.

• Problem 2

The copper layer (GND) is connected to S50's outside ring (short condition).

The above is the problems now I meet, hope they can be fixed later.
