Gradual Quietness

Flick Album.

This site can generate a looks-like-real photo album for you. What you need to input is your flickr ID name and tag of the photos you want to include in the album. Here’s the one I tried: slide show.

This site is proving a free service to send your blog to the outer space so that maybe your blog can be captured by other possible lifes in the outer space. An interesting idea! And it’s free. I am thinking if there are outer space lifes and they are able to understand our languages, they could have studied us very extensively and deeply. Maybe they are just staring at us, but we cannot see them.

I think this chart is useful for those who are hunting for the most suitable blog software for them. I ever did a simple comparison of three blogwares I am familiar with but definitely this one is more comprehensive and clear.

This web site demonstrates many cool stuffs can be done by CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

Sounds great! I tried the Chinese localization and it works fine. But I think there’s still something to polish in the Chinese localization. For example, under the “Localizaiton” tab, the text on the button is now “搜寻”, but I think maybe “确定” would be better. And “trackback” is widely accepted as “反向链接”, etc. Anyway, it’s not a big deal.

About the pinyin converter, it’s really a good idea. According to what I remember, someone ever suggested to use some letter combination to express the tone. For example, to express the four tones, they use Guo Guor Guoo Guoh, Tang Tarng Taang Tahng, etc. You can find the method is pretty simple that is to do some modifications to the vowel letters. In this way, we can input pinyin with tone quickly.
(This is my first try to use trackback to see if everything works well.)
