A Suggestion on User Interface

Filed under: uncategorized — visionos @ 8:19 pm

A very convenient function that is missing from most applications is
RENAME

We often want to rename a file.

In current applications,

  • we need to save as another file and delete the old one.

or close the document, and rename it out of the application.

Getting a webpage’s update time

Filed under: uncategorized — visionos @ 1:59 am

Often you want to know a specific webpage’s update time, here is the tip:

  1. go to the page you want to check.
  2. type: javascript:alert(document.lastModified) in the Address Bar
  3. press enter

You will see a message box that displays the data and time of the last modification.

The Man from Earth

Filed under: uncategorized — visionos @ 10:29 pm

这是我看过的最好的科幻片了。

没有花哨的特技,有的只是对话。

也许真正的思想,只有通过对话才能激发,只有通过想象才能领会.

这部作品展现了作者(Jerome Bixby, Star Trek 星际迷航系列的作者)的宗教观和哲学观。

强烈推荐。

Word 2007 Equation Numbering Better Solution

Filed under: uncategorized — visionos @ 9:12 pm

See http://research.microsoft.com/%7Edongyu/Office2007EqnNumber.txt

for a Office Macro Solution.

A good discussion can be found at http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=593531&SiteID=17

although the result is “a perfect solution just doesn’t exist”.

See the top 3 icons (counting from right), they are respectively: InsertNumberedEquation, InsertNumberReference, UpdateAllNumbers

SUA seems interesting

Filed under: uncategorized — visionos @ 9:11 pm

Windows Vista Professional Edition and Ultimate Edition has the SUA (subsystem for Unix-based applications). Microsoft has this since Server 2003. It seems interesting. From people’s remarks, it seems that it has better performance than the free Cygwin.

Academic writing with Word 2007

Filed under: editor — visionos @ 10:42 pm

ctrl-alt+1 for heading 1 and so on

use the view->Document map to see your article structure

I still don’t know how to neatly make a algorithm style with algorithms captioned and numbered.

A set of good suggestions can be found at

equation numbering (not directly support this, but use table and customized equation gallery, we can simulate this.)

Lack of Computer Vision Community Resources

Filed under: computer vision — visionos @ 3:39 am

For people working in machine learning, there are several useful mailinglists, newsgroups and good blogs.

Unfortunately, for computer vision, we don’t have a mailinglist, we don’t have a handbook, we don’t even have a newsgroup (comp.ai.vision provides nearly no information).

I hope this could change soon. And I hope some high quality blogs could be built.

很有意思的一句话

Filed under: uncategorized — visionos @ 8:46 pm

在网上看到的

有位画家卖给画廊的画上,总是画上一条很烂的狗,每次都和画廊力争很久才悻悻擦掉
。朋友问之,他说,这样画廊就不会要求我修改画的其它部分了
