Real tragedy

The IP address of the host on which my blog hosts was banned by the great-fuck-wall on Sep. 4th and so my blog has to retire for a while…

We had to buy an independent IP address and now it is working, thanks to our organizer 江东!


Apologize to all the friends in my Gmail’s contact list

I’m sorry that sent you such an Email about Hi5, I was caught with chaff by the damn website! So do NOT register in that site, or it may send the same mail to all your contacts in the name of you.

Content of the mail is almost like this:

http://www.hi5.com/register/WEvk.?inviteId=**********************

Joe

Be on your guard against it!

很抱歉由于昨天我的失误,上了 Hi5 的当,结果导致我 Gmail 联系人列表内的各位都收到了一封(垃圾)邮件。不要去 Hi5 注册,那玩意实在不是什么好鸟,否则一不小心可能你的几百个好友也将收到这样一封邮件。。。

邮件内容大致如:

http://www.hi5.com/register/WEvk.?inviteId=**********************

Joe

请注意分辨!

煎蛋’s get-together in the WordCamp Beijing 2007

It’s my first time to meet with my partners of 煎蛋 using the WCB2007 as a pretext. It’s a very happy time to talk with these guys rather than the WCB itself :p

My own WP theme goes online

I’ve made my own WordPress theme based on the WP default theme. It costed me a lot of spare time to design and code. Now the beta version comes up with a little bugs.

Some parts of sidebar will be out of position in Internet Explorer 6.0 or before. Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer 7.0 are highly recommended.

# Update on Aug 17, 2007

有感于 Google 黑板报

少一些广告,多一些互动

推销自己的产品对于任何公司都无可厚非,但我觉得在 黑板报 里做这些事有些不合时宜。黑板报应该是 谷歌 和基层用户沟通交流的一个窗口,而不是电视机里野蛮打断节目强迫观众收看的广告。到目前为止 黑板报 仍未发挥其域名中所提到的“blog”的功能,即毫无互动性可言,却有向读者强塞乏味的内容之动作。

少一些低级教程,多一点创新观点

要提供初级的手把手入门 教程,Google 的每个产品都有自己的 Help 就好了,有必要在 黑板报 这种官方脸面的地方刻意地显摆自己是如何如何使用自己公司的某个产品的低级功能么?如果这不是上级给这些作者施加的压力的话,那只能说明 谷歌 的(一部分)工程师心态及判断力有问题。谷歌工程师们在 黑板报 上发布自己的心得、感受、体验、想法时,多一些自己原创的观点,不要让 黑板报 越办越乏味。

少一些全文翻译,多一些谷歌观点

看多了 黑板报 的读者都会发现,黑板报 除了被用作各种产品的(非正规)广告发布平台以外,最多的用途就是一字一句翻译外文文章,翻译的用词很书面,冷冰冰硬梆梆的,和亲民搭不上一点边。如果说 黑板报 就是要“有深度地、有知识地、严肃地”探讨一些高级话题,那这种直译也就过得去了,但别忘了,黑板报 里还有太 多初级的、广告性质的文章,将阳春白雪和下里巴人混揉在一个 blog 里,是不是有些牵强?而从我的感觉来看,这些翻译的文章也只是为了凑数,为了使 黑板报 不至于荒芜。既然在做 黑板报,请有点责任心吧,写博不是哗众取宠更不是和尚撞钟。写出谷歌工程师们对一些事物的看法会比现在这些莫名其妙的内容更有读者吸引力。

另外,黑板报 不能在关键时候挑起应有的责任,不敢抛头露面,只会照着“河蟹社会”说一些很中庸的无聊内容,这样的举动在当时 谷歌无故不能访问 期间已经获得了不少网友的不满。也正如发条一针见血地指出,黑板报 所谓“在我们每一个 Google 人的心中,用户是我们最最关切的人”,这些最最被关切的用户被假设为不需要发言的“沉默的大多数”。

很早也看过洪波对 黑板报 的批评(尽管 黑板报 第一个友链就是他的 blog),自然比我能想到的要深刻许多。

# 今天看到 黑板报 更新的一篇文章后,终于忍无可忍要对 谷歌 说几句。写完发现,尽管我一直努力抵制,可仍然难逃“中庸”的影响,说了大堆却什么都没真正剖开了说 -_-|||
