why I like iphone instead of android phone?

because android project is actually very close project. Not real open source project.
e.g. google does not release android 3 source code.
and I got another source from http://www.visionmobile.com/blog/2011/07/the-open-governance-index-measuring-openness-from-android-to-webkit/
it is the most 'close' openness project...

OpenSource is not just a label. but for google it is for marketing.

how to downgrade mac os from lion to snow leopard

step 0, suppose you have a fully time machine backup
step 1, insert snow leopard installation dvd into mac and rebook it.
step 2, when boot screen show up, press and hold "C"
step 3, snow leopard installation menu will show up, on toolar choose restore from time machine.
step 4, in the time machine choose your latest backup from list, click next and next.
after 3~4hours, your mac will back to SL.
the reason why I downgrade mac os is globalscan iscsi not support lion, or because lion change api , not compatiable with original softwares. 
the second reason is my cannon dpp is not working neither. 
the third reason is lion full screen apps which seems like not support duo monitor. full screen apps is always 'full screen' on one monitor.
the four reason is because in 5 min I found the above three bugs, I feel lion is like vista 2. 

luckily, I have timemachine. after 4 hours restore, my mac back to alive with my iscsi target.

blender voodoo 3 motion tracking

Voodoo and Blender is free(Open Source) tool for 3D animation and video.
Last two days, I try to play with this two tools. Although Blender offer great tutorials for beginners, but they are not practical for me.
I want something quick. I dont want to spend too much understand all the tools. I just want to know what I need to solve my problem.
Thanks, Youtube. there are a lot of nice tutorials.
such as
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPZbtKQ1a4g

check the video.
but the problem is blender 2.57 UI is big difference with 2.49. it is not good for beginner.
I waste half day on "converting" all tutorial from 2.4 to 2.5. It always better keep using same version blender as tutorial.
So you are sure the tools are works. what I learned:
1. Voodoo blender python scripts is not full working on blender 2.5. it is better export python blender script to version 2.4.
2. If you try to render in quicktime format with RGBA, my blender 2.5 just crash.
3. disadvantage of 2.4. my footage doesnt show correctly in 2.4. but it show correct in 2.5. e.g. my footage is 29.97 fps, in total it is 165 frames. but it doesnt show right in 2.4.

the last thing is that, you still need adobe after effect to process final step.
Blender cannot merge animation layer and my footage. I hope there are some opensource tools or blender plugin can handle this. that would be perfect.
At the end, with the two tools, user can create greate 3d animation with their own footage. I am very happy with these tools.

3D motion tracking blender 2.5 voodoo 1.10b import scripts error

I got Blender 2.57.1 r36339 and voodoo1.10beta installed

to fix the error
step 1. replace "set_frame"

with

"frame_set"
see post from http://blenderartists.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-205187.html

step2 replace
vcam.matrix_world = mathutils.Matrix([0.986389,0.010807,0.164070,0.000000], [-0.004649,-0.995605,0.093532,0.000000], [0.164360,-0.093022,-0.982004,0.000000], [-1.506059,0.231502,7.789379,1.000000])

becomes:

vcam.matrix_world = mathutils.Matrix(([0.986389,0.010807,0.164070,0.000000], [-0.004649,-0.995605,0.093532,0.000000], [0.164360,-0.093022,-0.982004,0.000000], [-1.506059,0.231502,7.789379,1.000000]))

see post from

http://blenderartists.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-176527.html

then run script

qnap_ts_212

NAS QNAP TS-212 review part1

Recently, I got one NAS QNAP TS-212 with 2tb *2 samsung harddisk. 
it took around half hour to install the harddisk. but it is quite easy to do it. 
after around two weeks, I am quite satisfy with it. 
now I will briefly list all the pros and cons which I think. 
Pros:
1. quiet, very quiet compare with deskpc. 
2. energy. it cost 13 watt in operation, 6 watt on sleep.
3. speed. copy file from nas to pc or mac. the speed can reach my router top speed. I have router 100Mbits/second= around 11MB/s. you can play HD video directly via AFP, windows network service. with wifi connection. No problem for stream HD video. very fast. 
4. simple web server with php, mysql. with python,etc.I have installed some php program but I dont have a lot of time to play with it. 

cons:
1. 256MB memory, not upgradeable. it sounds same strategy as apple(ipad, iphone), want more memory,pay more money. IT S STUPID!!!!. 
2. low speed cpu. for heavy works. when I upload large photo to my gallery3, the gallery3 become very slow. it take 80~90% cpu for cache new photo. if reduce the upload photo size, the gallery3 become much faster.
3. less USB ports, no esata port. 

at the end, NAS is neither pc nor server. it is a thin client for share files and data. It is ideal for share music, foto, video with family and friends. of course. it can do more jobs than this. you should be aware you looking for a network harddisk with extra functions or you are looking for a pc which can do more jobs.

godmode in win7


To enter in "godmode," one will only need to create a new folder and rename it to:

godmode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}


Once it's done, the folder's icon will change and will contain many control options.

shp2pgsql cmd tool has been used for two years. This week I found that PostGIS release new tool shp2pgsql GUI.
This tool is much easy for beginner to import shapefile to PostGIS. 
Especially, when you want to import shapefile with options.
Such as if you want to import ë á, you have to use -W "LATIN1" function.
