最近很久没有更新这个blog，一是为了修炼英语，每天的想法已经被我记录到了另一个英文blog上了，二是自从在本子上换用了Ubuntu后，就一直忙于研究用它来完成各种日常事物。然后就变得越来越懒了……

This blog is almost perfect for me to use except I don’t know how to make the entries to be outputed totally. Now, if I browse “http://ferrisliu.com/atom.xml“, I will only get the summary of my essay. I always hate to publish only summary on RSS, so I have to find out a way to output my essays completely.

This night I spent a lot of time to try, but I can’t find the choice for outputing the whole text. At last, I give up. I had post a question on V2EX, but till now, nobody answered.

After almost two days time trying, I run Movable Type on my new site finally. This is the first time for me to use Movable Type, so it’s very funny. Though I’ve met some problems, I made it now. The happiness now just can’t be discribed.

I bought a new domain name for this blog. In the first days, especially after I’v changed my English name, I would like to open a new blog to write something in English. My original blog Feng’s Style have been existed some time, and all of the posts on it is written in Chinese. I wouldn’t like to add any English posts on it cause it will be mess. Also I’d like to have a domain name that like my English name, not my original name, so I choose this domain “ferrisliu.com”.

Welcome to my new blog powered by Movable Type. This is the first post on my blog and was created for me automatically when I finished the installation process. But that is ok, because I will soon be creating posts of my own!

来了加拿大，换了新名字，因此想新建一个blog，来完全用英文书写。昨天注册了域名ferrisliu.com，准备在上面构建一个blog。

很早就知道了两大主流blog程序为Wordpress和Movable Type。这个blog是用Wordpress构建的，在建立的时候我学到了很多，加深了对PHP和SQL数据库的认识。于是我想在新的blog上试验一下Movable Type，一是为了新鲜，二是想看看用perl编写的cgi程序如何操纵数据库的。

其实这是前几天的事情了。当时我正在拼命整理照相机里的照片，而且从这里Flickr的上传工具Flickr Uploder在这里居然可以正常使用了（我在出国前试过一次，无法授权帐号），而且还非常好用，于是我就一直上传。传一部分整理一部分，后来发现普通帐号只能建立3个set，便忍痛放弃了几个。看着Flickr Uploder里面说我使用了这个月上传空间的31%，心想什么时候把这个数字变成100%，看看是什么样子。

昨天我盼望已久的DELL XPS M1330终于寄到了，感觉很不错。重量不沉，2G内存使得运行默认的Windows Vista跑的相当流畅。机器的包装也非常讲究，除去背包不算，一个与本子合身的小包就显得很优雅了。早知道会有这么一个包，我就不订背包了。加上这个小包，本子可以比较安全的放在任何一个包里。没有背包上显眼的XPS三个大字，显得不那么张扬。

今天从洪波的Twitter页面上看到了他试验用cTwitter更新Twitter的消息，便顺着链接去了cTwitter的主页上去看了看，发现了这个好用的手机Twitter客户端，让我高兴了好一阵子。

我立刻下载下来用用，发现它是用Java写的，在我的Nokia E50上跑挺稳定的。它的界面很简洁，与手机版Twitter的界面挺类似的。运行时反应非常迅速，是一款非常优秀的Twitter client。除了支持手机更新外，cTwitter还支持查看自己、好友和公众的时间线，以及回复或向好友发送私信。可以说，这些功能已经使cTwitter大大的超越了手机版Twitter了。

我注册Twitter的时候，是国内的几个有名的blog介绍它的时候。对于这种东西我一向是不放过的，于是立即注册了。注册后，我有些茫然，这么一个不支持中文、只能输入140个字符的东西，有什么用呢？有谁会一天到晚的抱着别人的Twitter看个没完呢？

Pownce已经让人讨厌了
