Est Indies. A complete round trip usually meant a cargo of manufactures
from France to Canada, a cargo of timber, fish, and grain from Canada to
the West Indies, and a third cargo--of sugar, molasses, and rum--from
the West Indies home to France. Quite half the vessels, however,
returned direct to France with a Canadian cargo. Louisbourg was a
universal port of call, the centre of a partly contraband coasting trade
with the British Americans, and a considerable importing point for
food-stuffs from Quebec. French commerce on the sea had, however, a
mighty rival. The encroaching British were working their way into every

Thought on (Personal) Resource Management

Resource management
A lot of (web) apps try to do personal resource management (with social sharing), I see their strength, but weakness is that they are still not easy enough to be usable by masses:
too many clicks (and distraction) to get some real thing organized, and more clicks to search and reuse.
I believe current technology is already mature for much better resource management in a more efficient fashion. And I am serious about it.
Ideal thing will be a light UI web serivce, easy to search, organize and reuse resources within 1 to 2 clicks, some support for graph visualization and multimedia, and be open.

Piwik and FireStats

Installed Piwik and FireStats, both are runing on PHP and MySQL for web analytics.

Piwik uses Javascript, FireStats has a "middleware" to deal with Django.

Piwik has nice charting, as it aims to be open sourced Google Analytics, however it seems still not has the desperately needed excluding IP feature implemented.

FireStats has IP exclusion.

Piwik is open source, FireStats is not free for commercial use.

Identify the problem is SCIM related by looking at ~/.xsession-errors.
SCIM configuration does not work.

I thought Fixed by uninstall and reinstall SCIM.
But actually scim-pinyin is the package that makes SCIM unusable if installed.

Then tried ibus, which works.
Reinstall video card driver.

"Date come, you have to deal with it. That is life."

To understand things happened to me and the things happened to the world is very different. And people don't understand that.

"Never say what you are talking is not interesting. Rule one of public speaking."

"That's the person who you should think that has some kind of super nature power, the person who never had a dream that comes true." (about probability)

"It (gambling) is a useful life skill to have."

You trip. You drop the punching cards on the floor.
