I bought a new memory for my laptop, now I have 1.5G memory, but my xubuntu can’t eat that much, so I’m thinking about how to use it. I found a very easy way that can use the memory as a hard drive. I can save my hard drive space and can make full use of my memory as well, that’s cool.

I don’t have to worry about the temperary files take so much space and make my computer slower. It will be cleaned up every time I restart my computer.

The settings are quite simple:

Choose your favourite text editor and edit the fstab file. I’m using vim.

sudo vim /etc/fstab

Add the following line into it:

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,mode=1777 0 0

And save, then restart X window, we are done.

My blogger life started from December 16,2004. If one can say that the concept of “blog” started from the year 2005, I started writing blog very early. My first blog was in bokee(Chinese) the name was “Be Your Friend”, not a good name, haha. It was because I started learning violin, I wrote my blog as my violin learning daily log. Then I started to write something else, like what I thought about my life, my studies etc.

Then, many of my friends started to have their blogs too, and I learned some HTML and PHP language too make my blog unique and beautiful. Thanks to SuiFeng, a friend had taught me a lot.

Later on, like “Bi Ji” - a song sang by Zhou, Bichang, which means “Notepad” literally. Then I changed the title of my blog into “Bi Ji”, to take note of my daily life.

The blog in bokee has been used until June in 2006 at what time I graduated from university, I was so sad about leaving the campus and my friends. And the system of bokee behaved very strangely, so I decided to move to another blog server.

After searching and testing several blogs, I found blog.com was very good and simple for me, then I used a few night to move my blog. Unfortunately, it was so simple that , I even couldn’t add links and media file to it, so I was thinking about move again.

The Windows Live Space is becoming popular and popular, so I decided to use it, and the IM client MSN is as popular as QQ in China. I studied how to used for a few days, and made my space beautiful.

Then I should be satisfied with everything, but it’s not true. There are many limits, and the album sucks, additionally, I’m using Linux operating system, space is getting inconvenient. On the other hand, Linux opens another world for me to know how to do self hosting, I’m able to DIY my blog, especially the WordPress and the language_switcher plugin. I can make my blog with multi-languages easily.

My blogger life starts from here like a new born. It is time I graduate from my master’s study, and my computer skills is getting better, even something friends think that I should have learnt computer science before.

The new blog is just the beginning of my new life after school - my career life!

Bless myself, and bless my friends!

Today, I just changed my Linux desktop to Xubuntu. Xfce is claimed as the lightweight desktop environment for old computers with small memory and stuff… My computer is rather new, just has been used for less than 1 year, but I’m so tired of waiting for response as it was in windows.

It was hard work, first my internet didn’t work, then my SUDO didn’t work, but now everything is fine, so pround myself, don’t you think that I worth it?

Haven’t found a way to change Thunar to Pcmanfm. They are both light weight file browsers, but only Pcmanfm has the tab feature, the one I really need, googled a lot, no tab feature for Thunar and Nautilus either. Pcmanfm is my only choice.

I also found a great text editor — Editra, it has all the features I want, especially the code folding.

Great great, I love opensource, hope I can do something for the OpenSource.

It’s all for today, goodnight!
