Google in English

Jan 5th, 2006

现在Google中文版本少了一个’Google in English’的链接。实际上那个链接是http://www.google.com/ncr，点完这个后，在大陆访问Google缺省显示界面变为英文。

或者你用Firefox而且有extension Cookie Editor，修改浏览器的cookie也可以达到这个目的。.google.com domain下的PREF，将CR=?改为CR=2

RewriteModule for ASP.NET 2.0

Dec 12th, 2005

mod_rewrite is one of the most useful module for Apache.

But what to do if I’m on a Windows IIS server? I only googled a few commercial ISAPI modules (ISAPI ReWrite, IIS Rewrite). This is the most painful on Windows platform.

OK. Since I only need a few feature of the rewrite currently. I decided to do it myself. An early version is available from CVS repository – anoncvs without password.

Yeah. The RewriteCond feature haven’t been implemented. Sorry It’s only one afternoon work and I’m still a newbie on ASP.NET platform.

Here’s the sample configuration

<configuration>
    <configsections>
<section
            name="rewriteSection"
            type="Dragonsoft.RewriteConfigurationSection, Dragonsoft.RewriteModule" />
    </configsections>

    <system .web>
        <httpmodules>
            <add name="rewrite" type="Dragonsoft.RewriteModule" />
        </httpmodules>
    </system>

    <rewritesection>
        <![CDATA[
        RewriteRule ^~/news/([^/]+)/([^/]+)\.html$ ~/news.aspx?id=$1&#038;name=$2 [L]
        RewriteRule \fake\(.*).html$ \real\$1.aspx [NC,L]
        ]]&gt;
    </rewritesection>
</configuration>

–update: URL Rewrite Filter for IIS is open source. I haven’t tested it.

Gentoo Linux Dailup Internet by CDMA Phone

Dec 12th, 2005

My CDMA phone connects to the laptop via a USB cable. So I have to configurate the kernel with USB Modem support.

Device Drivers -->
    USB support -->
        [M] Support for Host-side USB
        [M] USB Modem (CDC ACM) support

Check if the device is well reconized after install and modprobe the module(cdc_acm).

# dmesg | grep acm
usbcore: registered new driver cdc_acm
drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.23:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters

Great, the device has been recognized. Then create the ttyACM0 node in /dev is it does exist.

# mknod /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0

Edit the configuration file /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 (or .ppp1, .ppp2). Here’s mine

/etc/init.d/net.ppp0:

PEER="cdma"                     # Define peer (aka ISP)
DEBUG="yes"                     # Turn on debugging
PERSIST="no"                    # Redial after being dropped
ONDEMAND="no"                   # Only bring the interface up on demand?
MODEMPORT="/dev/ttyACM0"        # TTY device modem is connected to
LINESPEED="230400"              # Speed pppd should try to connect at
INITSTRING=""                   # Extra init string for the modem
DEFROUTE="yes"                  # Must pppd set the default route?
HARDFLOWCTL="yes"               # Use hardware flow control?
ESCAPECHARS="yes"               # Use escape caracters ?
PPPOPTIONS=""                   # Extra options for pppd
USERNAME="card"                 # The PAP/CHAP username
PASSWORD="card"                 # Your password/secret.  Ugly I know, but i
                                # will work on something more secure later
                                # on.  700 permission on /etc/init.d/net.ppp0
                                # should be enouth for now.
NUMBER="#777"                   # The telephone number of your ISP
                                # leave blank for leased-line operation.
REMIP=""                        # The ip of the remote box if it should be set
NETMASK=""                      # Netmask
IPADDR=""                       # Our IP if we have a static one
MRU="768"                       # Sets the MRU
MTU="768"                       # Sets the MTU
RETRYTIMEOUT="60"               # Retry timeout for when ONDEMAND="yes" or
                                # PERSIST="yes"
IDLETIMEOUT="600"               # Idle timeout for when ONDEMAND="yes"
PEERDNS="yes"                   # Should pppd set the peer dns?

AUTOCFGFILES="no"               # By default this scripts will generate
                                # /etc/ppp/chat-isp, /etc/ppp/chap-secrets,
                                # /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/peers/isp
                                # automatically.  Set to "no" if you experience
                                # problems, or need specialized scripts.  You
                                # will have to create these files by hand then.

AUTOCHATSCRIPT="no"             # By default this script iwll generate
                                # /etc/ppp/chat-${PEER} automatically. Set to "no"
                                # if you experience problems, or need specialized
                                # scripts. You will have to create these files by
                                # hand then.

# Directory where the templates is stored
TEMPLATEDIR=/etc/ppp
Then have to manual edit two additional files /etc/ppp/chat-cdma and /etc/ppp/peers/cdma.

/etc/ppp/chat-cdma:

'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO ANSWER'
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATDT#777'
'CONNECT' ''
'TIMEOUT' '5'
'~--' ''

/etc/ppp/peers/cdma:

connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-cdma"
defaultroute
usepeerdns
/dev/ttyACM0
230400
local
novj

Now everything is OK. To dialup the Internet simply type

/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start

The CDMA ISP is China Unicom.

FlickrFS果然来了

Dec 12th, 2005

我曾猜想会出个FlickrFS，今天果然看到FlickrFS的Announcement。

三个月前http://www.google.com/search?q=flickrfs还只能看到一个搜索结果，就是我的那个猜想，今天已经上万条了。

看说明，linux下upload图片更简单了，直接cp到flickrfs的目录下，加tags就是建目录。下载图片也一样，就没有FlickrBackup什么事情了，rsync一下就好了嘛。

update: 中文支持出问题。试安装cjkpython也不行，修改了一下代码，可以了。可是图片下载却是zero byte，还是等个stable版本再玩。
