Running Knoppix 6.7.1 in a Sandisk Ultra flash drive to do GAE programming via PyCharm

2011-10-04T08:52:00Z

A couple of days ago, I just re-install Windows 7 on IBM X60 based on the flash drive, now the new buy Sandisk Ultra USB flash drive is no use now, so during the National Holiday, I just install a Live-CD type Linux on it so I can play something different with MS stuff latter.

I choose Knoppix largely because of it's size: Knoppix has the largest size among other Linux distribution like puppy/Slax as well as it's popularity, you can Get Knoppix via a BT client like µTorrent. After you get the 3.68GB DVD ISO downloaded, the step to custom Knoppix to fit your needs will be quite simple (yes simple, but it must be consider in the Linux standard):

Write ISO Image to flash drive, using UltraISO (I use method USB-ZIP+) or Universl USB Installer.
Boot it and make a persistent store, I choose AES256 crypted and size 3627MB, you should be quite to input the number as at boot time, the screen has time counting.
Setup the network by click the right corner of desktop applet: NetworkManager, it is quite easier to setup whether you use wirelss or wire network.
Due to GFW in Chinese, you have to edit the /etc/hosts by some degree and add OpenDNS (208.67.222.222) if needed. You can running Chromium to verify the internet is OK now and download a copy of host to reference/replace your version.
Install some additional components which can not deploy by Knoppix due to license limit: Start->Perferences->install components. (Flash and MS font, two package currently), Running Chromium again to verify the flash is install OK, before that you have to change Preference in Chromium first via chrome://settings/content, to enable Plug-ins and JavaScript first.
Install Chinese input method via Synapitc Package Manager (Start->Perference->Synapitc...) or via apt-get command in Accesories->Root Terminal (you may want to change background to semi trans as by default it is totally transpanrency via Edit->Perferences->Backgroud->Opacity at this moment): apt-get install scim-pinyin
The above command will download ttf-arphic-ukai & ttf-arphic-uming as well as scim-pinyin depend on it, to Switch to use scim input method now, you need running Start->Perference->Input Methods Switcher to "Use SCIM via IM_MODULE"

After above 7 steps, you can in fact to use Knoppix now, but you may also want to install additional software like WinRAR (very popular but not free): you can first extract to home folder ~/, run make in ~/rar folder and put rarreg.key to /etc/ if you have a license.

I also need to use PyCharm 1.5.4 to do some Google App Engine programming, so still need manually install: (in Root Terminal running)

apt-get install sun-java6-jre

Because PyCharm say it must run Sun Java Runtime instead of Open Java Runtime, so it is need to install it first. You may also want to install some other program like qtm (blogging client) or scribes (a new text editor) at this time with similar apt-get install command.

Download the GAE SDK, current writing, I use version 1.5.4, extract to home folder first, then move to /usr/local if you want in root, you may refer to that folder after install PyCharm, but it is another topic I think.

You may also have to edit your /etc/profile to export an environment to ensure PyCharm can find the correct java run time after line 24:

PYCHARM_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre

export PYCHARM_JDK

Now we can download the PyCharm 1.5.4 and extract & move to /usr/local also. after that you can run /usr/local/pycharm-1.5.4/bin/pycharm.sh to test if every thing is OK, after run that script once, you can run PyCharm by run charm directly in Start->Run dialog.

I done to setup the Knoppix by above sequence and hoping you also go smooth with this blog while setting up your personal Knoppix USB flash drive.

Many people know when drag the small black square in the lower right-hand corner of the cell in Excel, Excel will auto fill the value, fewer people know drag the small black square in right mouse-key will pop-up the context menu and let you select Copy Cells, Fill Series, or other options like below picture:

2011-09-10T13:19:00Z

In Windows platform, most quickly way to building up the Google App Engine SDK is install ActiveStates Python 2.5.6.10 and the MSI version of GoogleAppEngine 1.5.3.

But after you finish installation and get ready to deploy your first application, you will got the very annoy error which require SSL module for python, it is very hard to find such SSL module in internet as most of the links is source code code and require you build SSL by yourself in a C++ VS2003/MingW environment.

So I just upload a version in 115 disk / local for you download. (yes, binary version so you have to trust me there is no problem)

A GAE based blog, Micolog 7.412 with Django 1.2 enable

2011-08-25T18:34:00Z

I would like to thank XuMing and his Micolog, it’s very small blog program on GAE but functional is quite complete. Micolog is a good reference source code if you are newly to Google App Engine. There is also someone who write a article about how to upgrade the exist Micolog from Django 0.96 to Django 1.2, the article is download is broken and still have some problem about template safe notation modify here and there.

So I would like to contribute a modified version of Micolog v7.412 source code, which I spend quite several days to debug and merge the change both in the new github.com and old SVN on Google Code code repository, I also change/enhanced the feature as below:

Update tinymce editor to version 3.9.4
Fix IE6 can not comment bug
Fix sys_plugin can no load error
Minor change Pixel theme css
Add IE9 pin site feature in Pixel
Do some python code standard layout and import optimize
Allow suppress logo and other not needed copyright in admin page
Fix email notify in sys_plugin after upgrade to 1.2
Add replay via comments
New paging facility

The source code is also used in this blog and seems quite stable and I hope you will like it.

IE9 is a little faster than Firefox6 in Speed Reading performance test but so less

2011-08-21T05:40:00Z

http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/SpeedReading/Default.html

	Score (less better)	Windows Size	Test Date
IE 9.0.8112.16421CO	22 seconds	1858x1024	8/21/2011
Firefox 6.0	23 seconds	1858x1016	8/21/2011

Conclusion: IE 9 maybe a little faster, but consider the Firefox more memory footprint saving and cross-platform and so many extension and plug-in. I still prefer Firefox as my primarily browser.

成功凤凰刷机刷出诺基亚E5系统版本042.014纯净简体中文版

2011-01-29T09:26:00Z

上周入手了一台欧水E5，玩了2，3天，因为看到软件更新中有提示042.014的新固件可用，也没怎么看论坛，就勇敢的用Nokia OVI套件升级系统软件版本了，结果刷完傻了眼，中文没了！更糟糕的是，升完级的系统还是高版本042.014，看了论坛不少前辈的帖子，说E5的系统软件是只能升不能降的，只能平刷，上网一查，中文版目前只有042.010的版本。
期间考虑过装字体驱动顶两天，不过倒霉的是这种软件需要自签名，网上申请了2天都没结果，人实在是太多了……

没办法，只能老老实实研究凤凰刷机，看了N多资料，通读前辈们的经验，终于一次成功！

下面简要记录一下步骤（详细步骤请直接看qq2056708的帖子）

1. 下载E5-00凤凰2010-12-13日42.010版最新刷机教程中提到的：

42.010官方固件 http://u.115.com/file/f214f543d
凤凰2010： http://u.115.com/file/f2cef18f55

2. 通过Navifirm 0.4版下载最新的042.014固件，随便找一个042.014的下就是了，因为只需要其中的rm632_042.014_prd.core.fpsx这一个文件。

3. 安装凤凰刷机到一台没有安装过Nokia PC Suite或者OVI 套件的XP上（Windows 7可能也行，不过我的环境是XP）

4. 解开RM-632-41.010-CODE-0594888，将其中的rm632_042.010_prd.core.fpsx文件删除，复制用Navifirm下到的rm632_042.014_prd.core.fpsx到RM-632-41.010-CODE-0594888所在目录，重命名为rm632_042.010_prd.core.fpsx。（不要嫌我啰嗦，这是关键步骤，也是避免降级的关键）

5. 移动RM-632-41.010-CODE-0594888所在目录到凤凰刷机目录的products子目录下，RM-632-41.010-CODE-0594888重新改名为RM-632。

6. 刷机！详细步骤请直接看qq2056708的帖子，在Fireware Update Advanced Options of DP2.0中的文件Walle_MC017_SD的文件可以删除掉，因为这个事SD卡的文件，网上没有，所以也只能删，需要注意的是刷机的时候请将SD卡也取出，还有将手机放到离线状态。

7. 选择Refurbish刷机（再次确认，您已经将所有资料备份，因为刷完就是个出厂机器，里面啥都不会留下的哦！）

另附成功刷机后的版本截图：

特别感谢安哓糖下列帖子的启发，还有塞班网的各位大大！

How to using Windows Live Writer on umbraco

2011-01-16T16:13:00Z

Before start config Windows Live Writer for Umbraco, make sure the Setting->Templates->Master page has following line in <head>:

<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" href="/umbraco/channels/rsd.aspx" />
<link rel="wlwmanifest" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" href="/umbraco/channels/wlwmanifest.aspx" />

And create correct Content Channel (Name, Start Node in Content, Start Node in Media Library)

Then you can start fill homepage with http://ericguo.3322.org/dotnet.aspx and user name and password, select Metaweblog API and fill http://ericguo.3322.org/umbraco/channels.aspx as meta blog api URL in Windows Live Writer Tools->Accounts now.

Click finish button, you may find duplicate hostname in HomepageURL which lead to get theme failed, you can fix it by run regedit & goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer\Weblogs, find the right name, in this case "dotNet" and correct the wrong HomepageUrl (usually duplicate in hostname).

Goto Live Writer again and in Tools->Account->Editing->Refresh Theme, now that will get correct theme from site now.

That’s all done :-)
