乐在此爱在此

不知道为什么跑到香港来了。时间也有点紧。

昨天去了香港海洋公园,可惜的是下午下雨,吉祥物表演取消了。转了几圈看了看海洋馆和亚洲动物馆;小熊猫真的很可爱。

三日无限地铁车票 go yeah! 今天去哪里好呢?

Don’t know why, but here I am in Hong Kong. Time’s rather tight too.

Went to the Ocean Park yesterday. Sadly, it was raining in the afternoon, so mascot performances were cancelled. Saw the Atoll Reef and the Amazing Asian Animal exhibits; the red pendas were truly cute.

Three-day unlimited underground train ticket go yeah! Where to today?

拉底被偷走了宝贵的东西之二

电脑被偷走以后……

还算是不错?计算机系有一个很大很大~的电脑房。屏幕也是不一般的大!而且,还可以把自己的绘图板拿过来插进去。(虽然还是当鼠标用,从来不画画……)虽然,每次启动的时候都要重新设置一下,一设置就是十分钟: 分辨率调整,安装Firefox、绘图板驱动软件、中文支持和Windows Live套装。不过装完了以后基本上就可以开始上网冲浪了,再加上楼上就有食堂,所以很舒服~

不过好像舒服得过头了。一开始还把家里整理得像模像样的……后来就不对了。就拿今天来说吧,昨天晚上没睡好,所以感觉很困,不怎么想做正事。结果上网时间累计8小时47分钟!(我还有作业要补交、条目要写、程序要翻译……)

睡眠不足大概是昨天玩游戏太多了吧?因为觉得家里没有电脑会很无聊,卡库尔就在Wii上下载了Opera浏览器,顺便下载了《最终幻想水晶编年史:小小国王与约定之国》(旁作的旁作……)。虽然游戏中的每一天就是发布宣告-派遣勇者-建造房子-和每个勇者与市民对话来快速提升好感度-上床睡觉这样很无聊,不知道为什么还是玩上瘾了。不做正事可不行!从臣民路人那里听说有“可以治愈懒惰的徽章”,如果找到那种东西的话,卡库尔一定会在自己身上使用吧。

当然这样一天下来并不是完全没有收获,也发现了一些很可爱的东西,例如在eBay上的很可爱的浣熊帽子(可惜按照当前的进度,恐怕要送货到中国才行),以及……一大堆很奇怪的中国上海(!)制造的布偶装,从刺猬Silver到虹猫蓝兔都有。大部分都很难看。少数很漂亮,而且价格绝对低廉!只不过毕竟是版权物…… 不管怎么说虽然质量不算高这也算是个兽装制作者吧?(汗)

 

 

周一整理了一下住处,原本乱七八糟的,一下子就感觉清爽多了。不过还是很乱……

拉迪被偷走了宝贵的东西

两天前的事情。离散数学本来就让我没什么兴趣。从离散数学期末测试回来遇到一位完全找不着北的访问学者,于是带她到学校的租房办公室看看。

回到住处推开门,整个房间还是那么的乱……但是桌上空空荡荡的。我的笔记本电脑消失了!

计算机本身倒没什么 (也许该换新的了?),主要是我积攒了三年的兽人图片……还有其他聊天记录、截图和类似的东西。另外就是卡库尔的整个生活基本上是围绕着电脑展开的,没有了计算机一下子不怎么适应。

不知道是谁拿的,竟然连电源都没拿走。真是奇怪。

考虑把Wii破解了当浏览器用?

It was two days ago. Discrete Mathematics doesn’t give me any interest in the first place. Caming back from the Discrete Mathematics final exam and encountered a visiting scholar who couldn’t find her way around, so took her to school to take a look at the rental office.

Back home opening the door, the whole room was chaotic as usual … … but the desk was more empty than usual. My laptop disappeared!

Was not the computer itself (perhaps it’s time for a replacement?), but what is important is all the furry pictures I saved in three years…. and other chat history, screenshots, and similar things. Also, Kakur’s enrire life is basically carried out around the computer, not all of a sudden do not adapt to the computer.

Don’t know who took it, did not even take the power supply. Really strange.

Consider cracking the Wii to use as a browser?

第一次兽聚! Huzzyah!

上周日有兽跑到WikiFur聊天室询问渥太华有没有兽人爱好者聚会,卡库尔正好听说过一个渥太华兽控论坛,于是就告诉了他。后来看到周五就有这样的兽聚,心想也许能碰到那个人,于是决定——出发!
Last Sunday a fur came to #wikifur asking if there’s a furry meetup in Ottawa,  Kakur me happen to have heard of a Ottawa fur fan forum, so I told him about it. Later seeing that there’s such a meet on Friday, thinking maybe I would be able to meet that person, so I decided to – check it out!

最后很可惜没碰到,但是仍然非常开心——因为有6个穿兽装的。六个!(因为正好有从安大略省其他地方过来的兽。)以及一大帮其他的人来参加这次兽聚。
In the end it’s disappointing that I wasn’t able to find him, but I still enjoyed myself – because there were 6 fursuiters. Six! (Since there were furs coming from other places in Ontario.) And a bunch of other people, too, coming for this furmeet.

约定集合的地点,是市中心的战争纪念碑,离住的地方只有20分钟的路程。陆陆续续地有兽开始聚集,聊天拍照。也有几位和卡库尔一样是新来的,所以经常会听到有人问名字。然后两个穿兽装的家伙出现了 (都是狗),然后就开始乱抱人。唔……真的好毛!虽然渥太华还没有完全入春,但是他们说就是这样的天气兽装里面还是很热呢。(好羡慕……卡库尔快冻死了……)
The meeting place is the War Memorial in downtown, only 20 minutes walk from where I live. Furries started coming one by one, chatting, taking photos. Some are new too, like Kakurady, so people asking each others’ names can be heard often. Then two people in fursuits appeared (both dogs) and started to randomly hug other people. Mmm…so warm and fluffy! Even though Ottawa has not completely entered spring, they told me that it is hot inside fursuits despite the cold weather. (Which makes me so envious… it’s freezing outside…)

然后众人开始向Byward Market进发!绕了一大圈,不时停下来合影拍照什么的。
Then everyone started marching towards Byward Market! Went for a loop, stopping to take pictures and stuff.

这天似乎有许多学校组织出来春游,市场有三台校车,反向前去议会广场的时候也有许多的学生。不少兽边走边扎堆儿聊天,卡库尔则是基本上缠绕着兽装者不放!还好他们似乎并不在意,还很高兴。
Many schools have arranged field trips for that day, there were three school buses in the market, and much students on the way back to parliament square. Many furs chatted along the way, but Kakurady basically just went around the fursuiters! They didn’t seem to mind, though, and instead were quite happy about it.

到了议会广场之后来了三位新的兽装者,原来三位跑去脱掉 (也是很热的呀),又打闹了一会儿。然后到Rideau Centre的美食广场吃了点东西,一天的活动基本上就结束了,有几位兽继续去吃自助寿司,剩下的则各奔东西。
After arriving at the parliament hill, three new fursuiters came and the original three went to un-suit (it is hot inside), and then everyone played a bit. We then ate at Rideau Centre food court, and that was the end of the day’s activity, with some furs going for sushi buffets and the rest going their ways.

值得一提的是超活力社工浣熊Zets。无论是穿着兽装还是没穿,都一直相当精力充沛。这一点有点像Torley Linden? 而且是扎马尾的浣熊,好可爱。(不知道棒球队还是什么队的吉祥物的鸡看到一只(竟然是!)浣熊跑来合影, 心里是什么想法呢?……)
Worthy of mention is Hyperactive Social Worker Raccoon Zets. No matter if he’s in suit or out of suit, he’s always very energetic. Reminds me bit of Torley Linden. And he’s a raccoon in a ponytail, how cute. (I wonder what the chicken mascot of was-that-a-baseball-team-or-some-other-kind-of-sports-team thought when he sees a freaking raccoon coming up to take a picture with him, though?)


贴图贴图!

拉迪偷走了宝贵的东西

据Nintendo Power称《库洛诺亚·通往幻梦界之门》Wii重制在五月份发行。五月份……计划说是回上海的。就是从eBay上进口也一定要入手!不过听说如果没有修工程统计的话明年选课会有些难呢?
As told by Nintendo Power, the Wii remake of Kuronoa: Door to Phantomile is to be released in May. May… I planned to go back to Shanghai. But even if I have to import it from eBay, I’ll do all I have to to get it! But it’s said if I don’t take Statistics for Engineers it would be difficult to choose courses for next year?

WikiFur中文版最近开张了!卡库尔是创始人之一。……其实没做什么事。目前总共也只有5条条目而已。不过我希望能够通过建立中文的兽人爱好者资料库,在华语圈内能够创造更多的毛毛迷 (顺便把人气从白牙那里全部拉走(误))。第一条条目是库洛诺亚
The Chinese WikiFur is open! Kakurady being one of the founders. …didn’t do much actually. There’s currently only 5 articles. But I hope by creating a Chinese furry fan database, create more furry fans in the Sinosphere (and pull all the popularity from Alphawolf Kiba (no, that’s not true)). The first article is Klonoa.

但是如果是兽人百科全书的话,第一条条目应该是兽人才对吧?问题是,“兽人”在中文兽人次文化中至少有四种不同的解释 (还不算最流行的绿皮肤的那一种)。
But if it’s a furry encyclopedia, you would expect the first article to be about furry, right? The problem is "beast man" has four meanings in the Chinese-speaking furry/therianthrope subculture (that’s not counting the most popular green skin one…).

看到Vista一个月没有更新才意识到半个月一直都在使用Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 内测版。安装Alpha版本的动机很简单:因为专有软件的第二人生语音组件(由Vivox提供的)经常把PulseAudio声音服务器弄瘫!升级到9.04以后,Pulse果然不瘫了……但是Vivox语音却霸占一个内核,让XOrg, Pulse和第二人生只能分着另外一个内核……性能可想而知。
It’s upon seeing that Vista hasn’t been checking for updates for a month did I realize that half a month have I been using Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope alpha. The motivation to install an Alpha is simple: because the properitary Second Life voice component (provided by Vivox) often collapses PulseAudio audio server! After updating to 9.04, Pulse stopped failing… but Vivox voice keeps one core to itself, leaving XOrg, Pulse and Second Life to the other core… you can imagine how painful the performance is.

9.04另外一个很明显的改变就是新的争论重大的通知系统 (notify-osd)。Windows 通知区域有时候也会冒出来几个气泡,气泡本身可以点,还有一个叉子可以按。GNOME桌面一直也是这样的。但是Canonical 的用户体验工作小组却想出来一个完全只能看不能摸连个记录都没有的通知守护进程。……其实这倒和《洛奇》的通知挺像。不过一定要用默认的图标才有音量显示么?
Another visible change is the new and controversal notification system (notify-osd). The Windows Notification Area sometimes pops up some bubbles, too, the bubbles themselves are clickable, and there’s a cross to push. The GNOME desktop has been like this way too. But the Canonical user experience group made up something that you can only look but not touch and doesn’t even keep a record that kind of notification daemon. … it kinda feels like the notifications in Mabinogi. But does the default icon set have to be used to have volume changes displayed?

另外一个比较讨厌的就是XOrg。压感笔没压力,橡皮擦位置要命令行设置,把苹果威力鼠拔掉(USB鼠标)竟然整个X服务器倒掉了!
Another annoyance is XOrg. No pressure for stylus, eraser tracking needs to be configured in command line, unplug the Apple Mighty Mouse (a USB mouse) and the whole X server collapses!

最近垃圾清理平了,可是作业却堆成山!周末两天其实是在玩《大神》。写两篇日志要四个小时?
The junk all over the room is cleaned all right, but the homework is piled up again! Although, I was playing Okami in the weekends. Writing two journal entries takes four hours?!

其实想想不应该再花一小时画这张图的(爆)
Come to think of it I shouldn’t have worked on this picture to go with this post for another hour (kaboom
