Tryed the KDE for a while and I am back to Gnome again

To the KDE users: This post is just based on my experience, may be I am not very familiar with the KDE, so please keep calm :)

Since I have been a Linux user, Gnome is always the desktop evironment of my computer, the exception is on one of my old machine, I use fvwm instead. That's not suprise, because gnome is the defaut desktop evrionment of most of big linux distributions, including Red hat, Ubuntu. Red Hat is the first linux system on my computer, about 5 years ago, and then I have used gentoo as my desktop system for about 3 years, and after graduation I used ubuntu.

Gnome is always the default desktop environment, so I never thought about to make some changes, or dedicate some of my time to another desktop environment, I mean KDE, even I known it since I tasted linux at the first bite. I even have ever tried KDE sevral times, but every time just for a glance or "play with". When I have to get start to work, I restart the GDM and enter my familiar environment - Gnome.

I tried Arch linux this week, because I want to install it to my laptop, whose CPU is not so fast. KDE4 is out, as they say, KDE4 is a great gift to the opensource community, So I think I should give me a change to try it. Anywhere, I just want to only one desktop environment installed. I tried KDE first, it beautiful, I thought I would love it. "The desktop of 21 centry", ah ha, now I have it.

But one day later, I changed my mind, because I found some problem which is rather important for me.I am a java programer, In most of my work time, I use eclipse, netbeans and some other java (develop) programs, freemind, argouml, etc. In gnome, I can get a native look and feel when I use these java programs, but in KDE, they only show the strange face to me, the java look and feel. As for as I know, in the java world, for linux, gtk is the only supported GUI lib. if you use SWT based programers you still can get a beatiful look and feel from GTK, if you have configurated the GTKRC, but with Swing, you can only get the strange java look and feel, that makes me feel uncomfortable. For the KDE4, I think it still need time to be really mature, there are so many KDE applications only available for the KDE3, e.g., I want use KMyMoney for my finance management, but it's not available for the KDE4 at this stage. I will not try to use KDE3 now, I found in KDE, the Chinese characters are not renderd clearly engough just as in Gnome.

Finally, after some carefully consideration, I decided to back to Gnome.

知音无,弦弹断,谁人听

孤独,这种感觉快要把我吞噬掉。出差回来,本来高兴的发短信跟GF说我可能获取的一次机会,然而并不被理解。她有时候幼稚天真得让我觉得无奈。心烦意乱,正是午夜,飙条短信给唯一可以开口说些私事的朋友,去被告知她在黄山旅游。孤独,这时唯一的感觉。

手机博一下

有了这个gmail的客户端之后,似乎很多移动上网的问题都解决了。用gmail接收其它邮箱的邮件;定阅邮件列表,博客rss;给支持邮件博客的blogger还有msn写博客,也就是我现在做的事情。输入是慢了点,但是有的时候,比如旅行途中能博一下还是挺不错的。不过好像移动版的gmail不支持图片附件,要是支持,那么还可以把沿途拍摄的照片发上来,还是感觉蛮不错的。

有一个开发的想法

很喜欢google的gmail还有blogger,但是在中国用手机使用很不方便,自己又有一个PPC手机,所以想开发一个gmail的ppc手机客户端给中国的用户使用,google有一个官方的java版的客户端,但是不知道怎么的我的手机用不了。并且还有就是它现在还是主要提供给美国的用户的。

我是否活得太严肃?

其实我在反省,是否我一直活得太严肃,忘了怎么样开心的,甚至神经病似的去笑,总以为严肃是美德,但是严肃却是木头的近义词,我其实应该活得更加疯狂一些。引用我朋友的一句强言:

太难过的时候,你不妨装没事,多笑,就是笑,装HIGH装惊喜装兴奋装高潮。。

我都他妈的能装,你怎么就不行

我似乎已经看到了爱情的终点

其实不想这样,但是也许这样下去彼此都不会幸福,现在(或者暂时分开)离开,会让她更好的学会生活.人还是应该比较自立的.
一个长辈曾经说过,男人通常是也应该是大度的,但是如果到了忍无可忍,也就是当一个男人仔细一想这个女人没有什么好的时候,那么就意味着感情走到了终点并且无可挽回。我是否也快到了忍无可忍的程度?

蹭网上

今天飞机延误,平生第一次碰到飞机延误,并且延误了很久,百般无聊,打开笔记本看书,突然想,在机场应该有无线局域网吧,打开天线之后,果然有,并且有好几个,不过信号最好的是移动的,可以连接,但是要钱才可以上啊,这是机场的移动随E行业务。还有一个是南航贵宾室的信号,比较弱,只有一格,但是上网已经很不错了。飞机延误到5点才起飞,到了宾馆房间之后,休息了一会,打开笔记本,居然又自动搜到了信号。又是开放的网络,可以用,尽管信号很弱,但是已经上网看网页没有问题了,比较爽,顺便谢谢让我可以免费上网的人。想想,如果用移动的GPRS,哪得多少钱啊,我就上个网,看个邮件,不会占用太多带宽的,况且信号比较弱了,也只能干这些~
