A 1997 Sci-fi movie. Amazingly it is still a good watch today. How can I miss a movie like this…All the emotion, the hard work, the dream, the desire… It just amazing. And I like the ending…Not a perfect happy ending but that’s what make it…real?

“You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, I never saved anything for the swim back.”, maybe there is no swim back at all. We just keep swimming forward. What are you saving for? I am all in.

I want to cry…

And I really want to cry…
This is soul sucking, the only one can help me is myself.

I know I will make it. I still have faith in myself.

My Littile Lover – 風と空のキリム

あなたに会えたことがいちばん
今まででうれいと思った
かんしょの緑が揺れる音の
その先に沈む夕日を見た時

いい事だけの空気を吸おうよ
いらないものは待たないでいいよ
多分全部は無理だと知ってる
だけど希望が込み上げてきてる

どうして光さしてくるの
訳もしれずに涙こぼれる
あなたのことを感じる全てで
からだをとりまいてる空気まで

海が夕日でざわついてきたら
高まるこころポケットに詰めて
今日はここを離れて行くけど
イメージの中には花が咲いた

どうして人は生きて行くの
問いかけてたら涙にじんだ
あなたのことを感じる全てで
からだをとりまいてる空気まで

かんしょの海が手をふってた

A good run reading on Zed Shaw

julian — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 10:47:25 +0000

First time encounter Zed Shaw from a post in HN, http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/advice.html
Then I find another post from Zed about “Rails Is A Ghetto” and read on. http://www.zedshaw.com.sharedcopy.com/rants/51489cec9386f7c13f69b3a58cd50b02.html

Techcrunch had a post about it: http://techcrunch.com/2008/01/01/zed-shaw-puts-the-smack-down-on-the-rails-community/

look at the comments in TC make me sick. Bunch of moron. They are basically saying as long as you are a team player, we will still happy to have you even you write 500 lines of bad code a day. If you are not a team player, we ditch you for writing 250 lines of good code a day.

I would like some one to hit me on the face for any mistake I make. They are just weak, so fucking weak.

Waiting and waiting.

There is like fire burning in my heart, ghost eating my soul and it hurts more day after day. The harder I push or fight back, more painful it become. If step back and calm down is the best thing I can do…Then I shall do it. But I am just holding it, I will fight back when the time come. I will free myself from this haunted prison. As long as there is hope, keep trying and I will find what I wanted.

Answer for my career?

There is one thing stuck in my mind recently. I met a man in an occasion, he told an idea and said “This is going to work, as it empower people.” This statement is spinning in my head. Look at myself, WTF I am doing day in day out. I feel so sad about myself. As an engineer, we have the ability to create, what should we do? If you can empower people, you cannot loss.

Look at the companies around us, who are doing the right thing? A lot of startups become a joke. Money blinded a lot of people, so am I.

vim wombat colorscheme on Mac iTerm

julian — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 01:48:26 +0000

The wombat colorscheme is so far the best scheme I found. It is from Lars H. Nielsen http://dengmao.wordpress.com/2007/01/22/vim-color-scheme-wombat/

Both image directly link from Lars H. Nielsen's blog

You can download that colorscheme from his blog as the link listed above, *but it doesn’t work on iTerm*. The reason is the iTerm default have 8 colors only. So you need to make the iTerm to 256 color and download a modified version of the colorscheme which works on 256 color.

To change the iTerm color setting, select Bookmarks -> Manage Profiles from the menu. Select xterm-256color as shown below:

Go to http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2465 download the wombat256 colorscheme, put the file under /usr/share/vim/vim72/colors/. (vim72 is the version of vim I am running, you may have a different number). Then edit .vimrc in your home directory, add a line “colors wombat256″. Done.

Installing and running firefox 3, firefox 4 beta on Mac

julian — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 12:26:49 +0000

If you want to test out FF 4 without overwriting your FF 3, just download it from mozilla http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/ , open the dmg file, you should see the screen shot below:

Do not drag the firefox icon to the application, instead drag it to desktop and rename. (e.g. Firefox_4b8, try to avoid using space). Drag the renamed FF 4 from your desktop to application. Then you are half done.

Now if you try to open your FF 3 and FF 4, it will complain that firefox is already running. The reason is they are using the same profile. So you need to create a different profile to run FF 4. To start profile manager, open terminal, type:
/Applications/Firefox_4b8.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager
Change the part in bold accordingly.

Create a new profile (e.g. 4b8). Now if you want to create a short cut in dock, it would take more work. First, ⌘+space, lookup script editor. Open script editor. Paste the following line into script editor:
do shell script "/Applications/Firefox_4b8.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -P 4b8 &> /dev/null &"
Again, change the part in bold accordingly.

Then save it. Give it a file name, put it under Application folder and change the file format from Script to Application as follow:

To change the icon, control click on the script, open Get Info. Then control click on a firefox short cut, open Get Info. Then drag the firefox icon to replace the script icon. Now you can drag the script to dock and run firefox 3 and 4 at the same time.

In case you running Jetpack SDK with this setup, the default path Jetpack will look for is /Applications/Firefox.app/ when it try to launch FF. So it will launch FF 3, but Jetpack SDK support FF 4 only. I don’t know the proper way to change the config, i just did a grep and change the python code. The path is under JETPACK_DIR/python-lib/mozrunner/__init__.py. Look for the line “appdir = os.path.join(‘Applications’, name.capitalize()+’.app’)” edit the path here and the cfx command should launch the FF 4 correctly on cfx run and cfx test.

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it

I easily suffer from the problem that giving up on a half done project, feel that my idea is not good enough, no one is going to use it, it is too small…etc.

But then I saw the quote from ghandi at svg-wow, (quite a geeky way to discover quotes….) http://svg-wow.org/gandhi-quotes/gandhi-quotes.xhtml, (best on webit-base browser, sad that FF 3.6 didn’t render it perfect)

“Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it”
Hell yea, why would I care, even I just got one user I am still doing something for good.

What would you do if you are not afraid?

julian — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 01:18:00 +0000

My coworker just printed some random stuff and sticking them in the cubicles. One of it reads “What would you do if you are not afraid?” and I shouted it out “QUIT!”. Quit the damn thing and crack something real.

Feel so sorry and pathetic to my timid soul for not able to do it.
