  • Vista系统下为Firefox手动安装Flash插件

    当你在Vista系统下装好了Firefox,却发现似乎flash插件装不上……点击“安装缺失的插件”按钮、按照向导提示操作、重启Firefox,但是插件仍然没装上。烦死啦!

    多次重复上述步骤根本没用,其实你可以通过简单几步来手动安装插件。

    注:这个方法是通用的,可用于安装其它任何插件。

    在Vista系统下手动安装Flash插件

    首先你需要下载插件文件,可以右键点击以下链接然后“另存为”。

    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi

    下载完成后重命名文件的扩展名为zip:

    双击解压该文件,因为xpi文件实际上就是zip文件重命名后得到的。

    现在你需要从解压所得的文件中拷贝两个,到另外两个目录中的一个,选择哪个目录取决于你想为本机所有用户安装该插件,还是只为当前用户安装。

    需要拷贝的文件是这两个:

    • flashplayer.xpt
    • NPSWF32.dll

    为所有用户安装

    在到下面的路径中找到Firefox的插件安装目录:

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

    注:如果你使用的是64位Vista系统,路径中会包含(x86)字样(如下图);若你使用的是便携版的Firefox,插件目录的具体路径会有所区别,但目录结构是一样的,所以你可以自行查找确定位置。

    粘贴上述两个文件至该目录下(其间会有UAC提示),然后重启Firefox即可。

    仅为当前用户安装

    如果你没有当前所用机器的管理权限,或者你只想为当前账号安装插件,那么找到下面的路径:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla

    在Mozilla目录下创建名为“Plugins”的目录(如果该目录不存在):

    然后粘贴上述两个文件至Plugins目录并重启Firefox即可。

    验证安装效果

    你可以在地址栏输入about:plugins以查看插件是否被正确加载:

    当然,最简单的验证方法是查看之前无法正常观看的页面。 =)

  • Truth Inside – About the Popularity of a Post

    Update: Originally, I uploaded the leading image to TinyPic. It seems that the rules there are so strict and my picture got eliminated soon. Yep, it is a sexy one; No, no nudes in it. And now, I have to upload a new one for substitution. Hope this time it will work.

    I noticed that the most popular post in my blog is the one titled “Line of Beauty and Grace“, whose popularity index showed by “popularity contest” is 100%! This is luciferous because the algorithm of the plugin “popularity contest” is, the earlier the article was posted, the lower the popularity.

    I started to think why such a post could draw the visitors’ attention way more the others. When I reviewed this post, it took me only seconds to figure out why, that’s all because of the key words in it. Let’s take a look at them: sex, naked… Although this post is not about porn or sexuality, those words do come between the lines.

    This is an interesting phenomena, which reminds of another common case that, the top articles in every picture or download-themed website are always those with “hot” titles or contents. I’m not blaming on anyone here, I just find it funny. This reveals the truth about the whole Internet, which is, sex comes first, and everything else is left far behind.

    So much for my murmur here, and I’m just wondering whether this post will be popular, or not. By the way, I hope you like the title image with this article in the home page. ^^

  • Special Photos from Yimmys Yayo

    I found this interesting photolog all by accident. It is recommended by GoogleReader, and I have to say GR does know me. ^^

    Below are some samples:

    1. Have you any neighbor like this one? I’m laughing out loud at it actually.
    2. I love his beard and tattoo.
    3. Simple is beautiful.
    4. Sometimes, riding a bike along the river could be dangerous…
    5. Clouds or water?
    6. I bet he was watching a hell of game there.
    7. And more… I have to confess that I omitted some sexual photos intentionally. If you’re interested, visit the special photolog here.

  • New Version of WLW Available

    Update:
    It is most likely that I found a bug in this version. I checked the option “check spelling before publishing” in Options – Spelling. It seems to work but the final article posted on my weblog is the same. All the error spellings are left untouched. That’s strange.

    Writer Zone released the latest technical preview of Windows Live Writer.

    I’ve been looking forward to it for so long, cos WLW is like the most convenient blog-writing tool I’ve ever used.

    Here are the new features with snapshots:

    Video and Image Publishing Enhancements
    • Upload videos to Soapbox (It’s kinda weird that I can’t find the related-option…)
    • Image cropping and tilting (still, only for local pictures)
    • Additional border styles (same as above)
    • Support for LightBox and other image previewing effects (like Slimbox, Smoothbox, and others) (local files only)
    • Support for centering images (oh yeah, that’s it! I’m wondering why it is not supported in former versions)

    Editing Enhancements
    • Auto Linking (really useful)
    • Smart quotes/typographic characters
    • Word count (helpful for serious writer ^^)

    UI Improvements
    • Revised main toolbar
    • Tabs for view switching
    • Improved category control with search/filtering

    this handy tool to make your blogging easy!

  • Goosh – An interesting Google Shell

    Stefan Grothkopp made a browser-based Google shell by Ajax, named Goosh. This google-interface behaves similar to a Unix-shell, through which you can use all kinds of search services provided by Google, such as web, image, blog, map, video, wiki, etc. "You type commands and the results are shown on this page." This is the brief introduction by the author.

    If you’re not familiar with commands, type "help" and all you need is there.

    Try it if you’re a fan of command-line interpreter, and also notice that this is not an official Google product.

    Here’s a snapshot:

  • Cheers! WyntonMagazine

    Here I am again. It’s been a few days since I left. Too much personal affairs to deal with.

    However, there’s something I’ve done which can’t be ignored. Yep, I’ve changed the theme for the 3rd time… All of them are amazing, but I just like this one better. The only problem is, you need more time to configure such a theme to make it work the way you want.

    Michael, a gifted and productive designer, I’ve got nothing else to say to you but thanks. You’ve been doing great jobs all the time. To be honest, Branford is as excellent as Wynton. Since you’ve got the same taste as mine (Hemingway is an evidence), I would give you all my beautiful words in vocabulary: amazing, incredible, fabulous, etc. Oh, I almost forgot, I already did that days ago. ^^

    For those who need further information about Michael’s work, check his website here, BranfordMagazine here and WyntonMagazine here. Besides, the tutorials of how to use these themes properly are also provided.
