DSC 4.3.1 deployed
Docs.sun.com release 4.3.1 has been deployed about 3 weeks ago. It took me some time to test the 3 newly support languages: Hungarian, Dutch and Polish.
See the key deliverables for this release:
1) Support publications and display for Hungarian, Dutch and Polish books.
2) Publication of Rich Media contents.
3) Return of the Search within Collection function.
4) Added API method to return product nodes & UUIDs for a specified
collection or book.
5) Publication CLI to ask for confirmation when doing assignments to
products already have contents to ensure no accidental overwritten of
existing assignments.
6) Add product names to RSS feed links to make it clear to users what
product feeds they are selecting.

Localized docs.sun.com

Last Dec. DSC had Language selection controls and available on any page. But the localized content was not ready at that time, e.g.the Simplified Chinese page will show Traditional Chinese. Later, all selections went to English page. Today I checked the page and found all selections work very well. It provide us more friendly interface when we searching document on it. Check it out.

In the past 2 years, I have participated 2 times Firefox test day in Sun Microsystems Beijing ERI site for Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. It's really an different experience from my daily work. Working with engineers in Mozilla team around the world especial community lead in Europe, to discuss test cases and bugs. Tracking the bug ticket and verify the bug fix. I was fortunate to won 1 time Top bug finder at test day.(with prize :-) ) Besides standard test cases, we Asian Globalization Center (AGC) team also provided CCK locales test for this event. Fortunately (again), Yugo was won another Top bug finder by test FF in Korean locale.

鳥巢·田徑·四川精神
上周日去鳥巢看了奧運開幕前鳥巢最後一次測試賽“好運北京國際田徑邀請賽”最後一天晚場的比賽。整場共14項決賽,看的血脈噴張。尤其是男子4*100米接力決賽被稱爲中日兩國國家隊級別的直接對抗。賽前調足了大家的胃口。但比賽偏偏就沒有向著大家期望的方向發展。清華學子被稱作眼鏡飛人的胡凱與第四棒交接失誤導致掉棒,沒有成績。正當全場觀衆抱頭歎息之時,前三棒落後近3米的四川隊像爆了血格一樣奮起直追,最終與日本國家隊幾乎同時撞線。大螢幕在全場幾萬觀衆安靜又急切的等待中沈默了近半分鐘。終於,四川隊第一,日本隊以電子計時器所能紀錄的最小單位0.01秒區居亞軍。全場沸騰了,沸騰的還有四川隊的小夥子們。他們眼含熱淚激動的向人們展示著胸前碩大的“四川”二字。全場則不約而同地齊聲高呼:“四川加油! 聲音前所未有的有力,堅定。
熱切期待奧運的到來。

We made "china" bigger
Don't remember when and who told us that we should add "china" as a default tag when we blog at blogs.sun.com. Really a good ideal. We have been doing this for about 1 year. I clearly remembered that there was no "china" tag among the "Most Popular Tags" on the main page of blogs.sun.com at that time. And then we had S size "china".
I joked with Melanie a few months ago that we wouldn't be the biggest tag in character C because we have "community". Now we have M size "china", the same as "community". Check it out you will find most of "china" tags are coming from AGC bloggers (including Sin-Yaw's blogs, but I think it also related to AGC :-) ). It's a good experience to share with ERI members or even the whole Sun China.
Hope "China" will grow stronger as L, XL, XXL... in the future.

各取所需:Firefox extensions
给大家分享三个 Firefox 的插件,一个实用,一个添彩儿,一个绝对娱乐。
Firefox Showcase [下载]
实用:显示所有打开窗口和标签页的缩略图
特别适合 Project Manager 管理项目,需要同时打开很多页面而且不断切换。安装完毕会在查看菜单下添加一个 Showcase 子菜单。个性化定制很丰富,但有点复杂。默认配置即可。
ColorfulTabs [下载]
美观:随机给每个 Tab 分配不同的颜色
让浏览器不在永远灰、白、蓝。
All-in-One Gestures [下载]
娱乐:定制命令到鼠标手势
拿起鼠标随便画画就能执行操作命令。例如,按下鼠标右键并向左拖动鼠标则意味着“后退”命令。记得几年前看过一个美国“风投”的节目里有过类似的创意。个人觉得它的卖点不应该是提高效率而应该是开发智力。装上插件,换到左手鼠标模式,让我们一起开发右脑吧!

Great thanks to people who sat behind
The 3/28 BaDaLing Safari World "event" has past for a week. Still remember so many details. I saw different response from different people when we came to the crisis, also learned the key and the best way to pass a crisis. Special thanks to the people who sat behind on the bus. You guys talking, laughing, walking, making noise all the time. Yes, you made more and more tigers and lions concentrate on us, but the most important, you really calm down the others and kept my mind clear.
PS: Read blogs by Melanie, Yong and Annie to learn the whole story.

趴活儿
趴活儿是北京话,是说空乘出租车聚集在机场、火车站、写字楼、酒店这样乘客集中的场所附近等活儿。
昨晚在办公室加班,状态不错也就忘了时间,一抬眼才发现都半夜了,赶紧收拾东西下楼回家。刚出电梯就看见六个黑衣人,一人把着一个出口,搞得我下意识地摸了摸身上唯一的金属物件——钥匙。再定睛细看那几个黑衣人,嗨,大厦保安!
“辛苦。”
“呵呵。”
没想到都这时候了,大厅外面竟然人声鼎沸。十来辆出租车一字排开,车里不见人影儿,司机全聚在一起侃大山呢。看见我站在这头儿招手,在经过了将近一分钟的你推我让之后,一位不知道该称为失败者还是的胜利者的师傅满脸笑容地走过来。
众所周知,北京的的哥都是“说相声的”,你要比他能聊他就给你捧哏,你要“嗯、啊、就是”,他就是逗哏的。
“现在还没到高峰呢,一点钟,都是人。你看,这不都聚齐儿去了嘛。”谈话间,又是七、八辆空车朝科技园的方向驶去。
“你说这电脑公司怎么都晚上上班啊?”
“你会装电脑吧,你说这叉P和维斯塔到底哪个好啊?”
“别买车,油价还要涨,打车多方便啊。”
临近下车,师傅又说:“小伙子,年轻轻儿的注意点儿身体,别太玩儿命了,身体是革命的本钱,这可是老毛说的。”
“您也是。谢谢您啊。”
“得,回见了您了。”
要说干哪行都不容易呢,师傅也是,我也是。

Our Iceberg Is Melting - 《冰山在融化》

Our Iceberg Is Melting is another popular management book after "Cheese". Really a nice book: simple, funny, meaningful. It's definitely worth you to finish it in one go in 2 hours. I even felt an irresistible impulse to read it again just after I finished it.
The book tells you how to face the CHANGE and summarizes 8 steps to process the CHANGE successfully. They are:
- Create a Sense of Urgency.
- Pull Together the Guiding Team.
- Develop the Change Vision and Strategy.
- Communicate for Understanding and Buy In.
- Empower Others to Act.
- produce Short-Term Wins.
- Don't Let Up.
- Create a New Culture.
One English copy is rotating within AGC team. (Asian Globalization Center)
Buy it from joyo.com. English edition, 中文版.
