美国买笔记本给父母用，英文版得换成中文版。但一般情况下，win 7只允许ultimate版免费安装语言包进行切换。
因为不想浪费正版序列号，网上搜了下如何添加中文包，找到这么一篇
http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_48f3a1cd0100fydg.html
简单的讲就是下载这个软件，Vistalizator 和微软官方的语言包 （在网站上有link，注意下载x86还是x64的，和你系统对应）
然后用这个软件添加。
如果是sp1的朋友，这个软件会出现错误，说不支持你的版本7601。
只需要用兼容模式运行即可（看文件属性，选择run as ~windows 7~)
添加时如果遇上不成功，试试fast 模式。

Lion is not designed to be installed standalone. You could only upgrade from Snow Leopard.
My system was also upgraded from Snow Leopard; but the system became really slow after upgrading. So I decided to perform a clean installation. But I don’t want to re-install Snow Leopard and then upgrade.
After research, I found it not that hard to install Lion directly.
First you need a 8Gb flash drive or SD card. (I used SD card.)
Make a bootable drive from the DMG file you have. Please refer to
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/08/make-a-bootable-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-installer-from-a-usb-flash-drive/
Reboot your system and hold option key. Boot from your flash drive.
Use Disk Utility to erase your HD.
Install Lion.
That’s it!
Enjoy your clean Lion.

Thanks to iCould.
很久以前买的mobileme账户, family pack. 帮朋友关联了4个账户.
后来付不起租金, 就被停用了. 没想到得是, 几个子账户倒是一直能用, 也顺利得搬家到icloud.
今天icloud正式发布了,总应该可以让我用起我得@me.com账户了吧! 没想到还需要一定得技巧才能激活.
多谢帖子: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1246902
首先恢复你的密码, 到iForgot里, 会寄信到你当时绑定的邮箱。
把iphone升级到iOS 5, 然后用你的me.com登陆. 再到setting的iCloud里去改成你的me.com账户.
这么一番折腾，你的新的icloud账户已经建立起来了。 只不过你还是无法通过me.com/move来转移你的email和contacts.
既然很长时间没用了,之前得data也非常老了,丢掉算了.
在iOS 5里得iCloud里打开Email setting就会给你在iCloud里创建一个新的email service。此时你才可以开始用的me.com的email.
注意要备份.
update: 刚发现了个很赞的地方。 appstore的账号和iCloud账号不需要是同一个。 这样之前买的app不用重新买过了。

Presets is a powerful way to enhance your photo in one click. You can keep a copy of your favorite settings in a preset and apply the preset to your other photos. Each preset is a file stored at
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets/User Presets/
You can even share your presets with your friends.
1. Mac font PS 1 -> otf.
A tool called CrossFont can do this. Unfortunately, it is on Windows and not free.
http://www.acutesystems.com/scrcf.htm
You can use it for 15 days.
2. otf -> ttf
An opensource tool called fontforge can do it. (Linux)
There is a script to use fontforce to convert otf to ttf in command line.

3. ttf -> fpdf’s z file
fpdf is php tool to generate pdf file. it can support 3rd party font if you convert it to its format.
there is an online tool to do it.

我: 过段时间就不忙了?
经理: 不, 过段时间你就适应了, 也就好了.
中文mp3的很多id3 tag都是用gb2312编码的,在mac上显示很麻烦.
之前我说过可以修改iTunes的语言设置来搞定, 后来snow leopard开始不提供修改选项了.
于是就只能来硬的, 在iTunes的package file里直接删除英语的resource.
但这两种方法都会让iTunes的界面变成中文, 这对于看不惯劣质翻译的人来说是个头疼的问题.
现在想到了一种hack, 可以实现英文显示界面, 中文显示tag. 可以说比较完美了.
首先仍旧是在system preference里, 把英文设为第一,中文为第二.
然后在terminal里执行如下命令
cd /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources
sudo mv zh_CN.lproj zh_CN.lproj_backup
sudo mv English.lproj zh_CN.lproj
这样中文的resource就成了英文的了, iTunes以为自己load 中文resource, 但看到的还是英文的.
I don’t want to describe the problem here because it is really wired. If you have any \ref numbering problem, you can have a try of this solution.
Solution:
Try to move the \caption to the top of the table.
Move \label inside \caption{ }.
That’s it.

1. XLD, X Lossless Decoder to decode ape to wave
2. LiquidCD to burn cue+ape to CD
Small tools are really handy.
btw, about changing encode, *nix has a tool called iconv.
iconv –from-code=ISO-8859-1 –to-code=UTF-8 iso.txt > utf.txt
But XLD doesn’t correctly read UTF-8. Just ignore it. Wave file does not have tages.
You will eventually get your tags correct on your CD as long as encoding is correct in your cue file.

入境后10天左右，到当地的Social Security Administration Office办理，早上早点去，9点差不多了，否则排队长。
只需要带护照（包括那个入境卡），然后2周内给你寄到家。但我的只花了四个工作日就收到了。
此外，急需SSN的话，可以跑过去再排个队，问自己的号。因为这个号码很保密，你不能打电话问，只能跑过去。
有了SSN，下一步就是开信用卡，开始有信用记录了。
