之後順道去了對面的科學館!

10.5 problems solved!
前兩天突然發現, 原來一些在我的iMac還是10.5時的小問題 (不知是否同款的iMac也有相同的問題呢?), Upgrade上10.6(雪豹)後已經完全沒有了!
小問題包括:
1. Internet Sharing - 當我在System Preferences > Sharing內set了Internet Sharing後, 我的iPod touch是可經iMac上網的, 但每次Shut down再開機後, Internet Sharing便失效了, 很奇怪地Sharing內的Internet Sharing卻是照舊"tick"了的, 只是iPod touch search不到network, iMac右上角的Airport icon也顯示沒有share!
2. Remote - App Store內的free app. 正常情況下, 當iPod touch用Remote和iTunes pair後, 應該是可以用iPod touch控制iTunes的, 但在10.5時, 每次只能和iTunes pair, 卻search不到iTunes的Library!
3. SplashID - 一個在App Store內講買的App. 理論上是可和iMac內的SplashID iPhone Desktop經Wi-Fi sync的, 但只是sync了一次後便成為兩個"完全"獨立的program了! 害我每次也需要把資料在iMac和iPod touch各自輸入一次!
以上三個小問題"似乎"和iMac create的network有關, 但以我有限的電腦知識, 當時根本尋找不到解決的辦法, 現在更加是一頭霧水了!

PPS系統要求
PPS網站己於15/10/09更新. 電腦系統需設定為"TLS 1.0" 及"SSL 3.0"
以下設定大約一星期前經朋友測試是可行的, 但這數天以於PPS網站移除, 不知是否還可行? (風險自負!)
1) Start 'Terminal' via 'Applications' -> 'Utilities' -> 'Terminal'
2) In the 'Terminal' window, key in :
2a) cd ~/Library/Caches/Java/
(Note : Please leave one space after 'cd'. Press 'ENTER' key after the whole command has been input.)
2b) echo "deployment.security.TLSv1=true" >> deployment.properties
(Note : Please leave one space after 'echo' and one space before and after '>>'. Press 'ENTER' key after the whole command has been input.)
3) Restart Safari and retry
Note : Please repeat steps 1-3 above if there is any change in "Java Preference" later.
現在PPS的官方設定:
適用於 Macintosh 之 Safari 設定

Rozhdestvensky The Legend
今晚聽了香港管弦樂團的“傳奇大師：羅傑斯特汶斯基”音樂會. 當初想聽是因為有我最愛的貝多芬小提琴協奏曲, 但一開始便發現樂曲的演奏好像有點緩慢和欠缺力度, 真不知是指揮的風格還是樂團的問題. 反而之前不太感興趣的蕭斯達高維契第十交響曲某些段落更為吸引!

New Apple Products
終於知道啦! 原來Apple今次的新Product是iMac, Mac mini, MacBook, Apple MagicMouse和Apple Remote!
MacBook的upgrade我覺得是最奇怪的. 為何它不是和Notebook一同upgrade而是跟隨Desktop的步伐? 新MacBook的詳細規格可參考這裡. Upgrade後白色MacBook的性價比我覺得提升了不少, 甚至連之前MacBook pro獨有的multi-touch trackpad也加進來,現在它和最低階的MacBook pro分別除了外型, 便只是沒有了Firewire 800頭和SDCard slot, 但卻有一個大了90GB的Harddisk! 我想大部份對這兩部機有興趣的, 現在要考慮只剩下要膠殼定鋁殼了, 但鋁殼代價是多付一千五百大元!
Mac mini現在除往常兩款model外, 今次還加了一款server版, 出機時已預載了Mac OSX Server Snow Leopard和dual 500GB harddisk. 詳細規格可參考這裡.

書鋪再見
今日放工諗住上去星際三樓訂開MacFormat間書鋪睇o下, 點解今期o甘遲都未有? 點知老闆娘話十一月會close間鋪, 佢仲好好人o甘教我去黑布街間雜誌鋪訂, 一樣可以有折! 雖然我在這裏只是訂了數期, 但老闆娘每次都會主動call我攞書, 我想第時一定無呢個service啦!

the missing manual
終於買o左呢本書啦! 要努力溫溫先!
當初換o左iMac之後都好想買Leopard(10.5)本 the missing manual 但明知10.6就出, 又肯定會upgrade, 無理由仲去買本"就"變舊o既書o架! 終於等到10.6出又再等到本書出, 當然即刻買啦!
昂船洲大橋百萬行 - 報名篇
後記: 原來想做善事都唔係o甘易, 電話足足打o左九個字先通, 通o左都仲要等成三個字先有人聽, 攪到成十一點幾先攪掂, 不過都總算報到名!!
再後記: 步行証以於24/10收到了!

如果世界是個100人的村落
剛收到一個題為"百人村"的email, 發現和我數年前從書中抄下來的那篇內裡數字已大不相同(不知那個較為正確?), 不過想表達的意思還是一樣!
其實我一直也很喜歡這篇文章, 也曾把它send給我的朋友!
現在我再把它post出來, 希望未看過的人可以用心看看, 已看過的人也重溫一下, 尤其留意最尾一段...
以下是我數年前從書中抄下來的:
如果世界是個100人的村落
目前全世界有63億人口。
如果世界縮小成只有100人的村子，
會變成怎樣呢?
這100人之中，
52人是女性，48人是男性。
30人是小孩，70人是大人，其中7人是老人。
90人是異性戀者，10人是同性戀者。
70人是有色人種，30人是白人。
61人是亞洲人，13人是非洲人，有13人來自南美和北美，12人是歐洲人，剩下的是南太平洋地區的人。
33人是基督教徒，19人是回教徒，13人是印度教徒，6人信仰佛教，5人相信樹木或石頭等，所有大自然的事物都各有其靈魂。24人信仰其他的宗教、或者沒什麼宗教信仰。
17人說中國話，9人說英語，8人說印度話和烏爾都語，6人說西班牙語，6人說俄語，4人說阿拉伯語。這些人佔去全村一半的人口。剩下一半的人口包括了說孟加拉語、葡萄牙語、印尼話、日本話、德語、法語等語言的人。
在這個有著各色各樣居民的村子裡，最重要的就是要學著去理解和自己不一樣的人，並接受他人原本的模樣。
另外，也請你試想一下，在這100人的村民之中，有20人營養不良，1人瀕臨餓死邊緣，但也有15人過於肥胖。
至於全村的財富，有6人擁有其中的59%，而且他們全都是美國人。有74人擁有其中的39%，有20人分著剩下的2%。
至於全村的能源，有20人耗費掉其中的80%，有80人分用著剩下的20%。
75人的食物來源不虞匱乏，也有地方可以遮風避雨。可是，剩下的25人可不是這樣。有17人喝不到乾淨、安全的水。
如果你銀行裡有錢，錢包裡有錢，家中的角落還看得到零錢的話，那麼，你是8個最富有的人當中的1人。
如果你擁有一輛車，那麼，你是7個最富有的人當中的1人。
村民之中1人受過大學教育。2人擁有電腦。14人不識字。
如果你可以免除被干預或被逮捕、被拷問或死亡的恐懼，並本著你的信念和自我意識來行動和發言的話，那麼，比起無法這麼做的48人，你真是幸運多了。
如果你可以不必畏懼空襲、武裝襲擊、地雷等形式的殺戮、或來自武裝集團的強暴和綁架，那麼比起無法脫離這些恐懼的20人，你真是幸運多了。
1年之中，村裡會有1人死亡，不過，1年中也會有2名嬰兒誕生，到了年底，村裡就有101個人了。
如果你可以讀到這封電子郵件，那意味著這一刻，你的幸福將會增加2倍甚至3倍。那是因為有人想到你，而且，還寄了這篇文章給你，另外，就是你擁有閱讀的能力。
最重要的是，你可以活在這個世界上。
曾經有人說過：從你手中送走的，會再回到你的手中。
所以請你發自心底的歌唱吧！自在的跳舞吧！用心的活下去吧！就算受傷，也當作沒有受過傷似的去愛吧！
請你去愛這個有你和有其他人的村子吧！
如果我們之中有更多的人懂得愛這個村子，相信一定可以拯救這個村子，使這個村子不因暴行而有所分裂。
If the world were a village of 100 people
In the world today, 6 billion 300 million people live. If this world were shrunk to the size of a village, what would it look like?
If 100 people lived in this village,
52 would be women, 48 would be men.
30 would be children, 70 would be adults, among those, 7 would be aged.
90 would be heterosexual, 10 would be gay or lesbian.
70 would be non-white, 30 would be white.
61 would be Asians, 13 Africans, 13 from North and South American, 12 Europeans, and the remaining one from the South Pacific.
33 would be Christians, 19 believers in Islam, 13 would be Hindus, and 6 would follow Buddhist teaching. 5 would believe that there are spirits in the trees and rocks and in all of nature. 24 would believe in other
religions, or would believe in no religion.
17 would speak Chinese, 9 English, 8 Hindi and Urdu, 6 Spanish, 6 Russian, and 4 would speak Arabic. That would account for half the village. The other half would speak Bengal, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, German,
French, or some other languages.
In such a village, with so many sorts of folks, it would be very important to learn to understand people different from yourself, and to accept others as they are.
But consider this. Of the 100 people in this village, 20 are undernourished, 1 is dying of starvation, while 15 are overweight.
Of the wealth in this village, 6 people own 59%, -all of them from United States- 74 people own 39%, and 20 people share the remaining 2%.
Of the energy of this village, 20 people consume 80%, and 80 people share the remaining 20%.
75 people have some supply of food and a place to shelter them from the wind and the rain, but 25 do not. 17 have no clean, safe water to drink.
If you have money in the bank, money in your wallet and spare change somewhere around the house, you are among the richest 8.
If you have a car, you are among the richest 7.
Among the villagers 1 has a college education. 2 have computers. 14 cannot read.
If you can speak and act according to your faith and your conscience without harassment, imprisonment, torture or death, then you are more fortunate than 48, who cannot.
If you do not live in fear of death by bombardment, armed attack, landmines, or of rape or kidnapping by armed groups, then you are more fortunate than 20, who do.
In one year, 1 person in the village will die, but, in the same year, 2 babies will be born, so that at the year's end, the number of villagers will be 101.
If you can read this e-mail, that means you are thrice-blessed. First, because someone thought of you, and sent you this message. Second, because you are able to read. Third, and most important, because you are alive.
Someone once said: What you send out, Comes back again.
So sing from the bottom of your heart, dance with your body waving free, and live, putting your soul into it. And when you love, love as though you have never been wounded, even if you have.
And love the fact that you, and others, live here, in this village.
Perhaps, if enough of us learn to love our village, it may yet be possible to save it from the violence that is tearing it apart.

這台iMac是今年四月頭在Apple Online訂購的, 用來代替已三年多的Mac mini G4!
