Sun is to the end of life
As Euro Commission clears Oracle’s proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems, this acquisition is much closer to the end. And I don’t think Russia and China will place obstacles for this deal, and it will finish in several days.
It is so pity and sad to hear that bad news. As a student, I took the most memorable internship at Sun and deeply fell into love with Sun’s unique curture. Without an open enviornment and a technology-first ideology, every engineer can obtain an immeasurable freedom around technology, so Sun created a lot of new technique. Java, Solaris, ZFS, DTrace, netBeans, JavaFX, Lesture, StorageTek, Cluster, VirtualBox, MySQL, UltraSPARC, xVM….. All of them is so great that can change our world. I worked for Sun for 8 months, but I cannot remember all of Sun’s mature product, because Sun owns such a lot of good projects or products.
In my family, I deployed a NAS (Network Attached Storage) Server under OpenSolaris. with ZFS supported, I can easily possess a good network server to store my personal and family data with a high reliability and a good performance. And I also deployed subversion, SAMP (Solaris+Apache+MySQL+PHP), Dynamic domain binding, remoting desktop and so on into my box, and I got a wonderful family system center with Sun’s product. I love it!
I will never forget that time working for Sun in my life. I love Sun forever.
Good luck to all the Sunners.

Sun被Oracle收购了
Sun被Oracle以每股9.5美元，共计74亿美元收购。
这对于所有Sun的拥趸们来说，有如晴天霹雳一般。Solaris、MySQL、OpenSolaris、ZFS、DTrace、netBeans、Open ESB……Sun那么多优秀的开源项目和优秀的产品，将何去何从？真的不希望看到这些技术由于商业的抉择而搁浅，而最近几天还在考虑在家里部署一个Home Server，装上Solaris和ZFS呢。
在Sun实习了8个月，和Sun还有Sun的产品相当有感情，也非常喜欢Sun的文化。但愿被收购后，Sun的文化可以不被改变，但愿Sun的项目和产品特别是AGC组的项目和产品能够继续健康地发展下去。

A big long day for Sun ERI’s Employees
Sun Microsystems ERI, where I took the most memorable internship experience, did a tiny scale layoff today. Unfortunately, my former manager, Jack Kang, is unlucky to be cut down.
It is really a bad news not only for Jack and all of his team members, but also for me. Jack is really the best manager I’ve ever seen and heard. He is very nice and kind, and also a competent manager. I don’t think it is good choice for Sun to let him leave his position. He is big treasure for Sun!
I stayed at AGC Platform of Sun ERI for almost eight months. All the guys, including manager, employees, vendors and interns, are just like a family. We work together, learn together and participate activities together. I love this culture. And Without Jack, totally I could not start my internship at Sun, learning so much around best engineers, feeling that culture. It is really a pity for hearing that news…
But it is true that the harsh reality is tough for everyone. And Sun is going down so far, it maybe a good chance for him to restart his life for another peak. As Sun is a good company, many companies is looking forward to recruiting elitist just like Jack. And maybe he will run a private company, whatever. What I can do for him just give him some warm words and bless him. Good luck Jack!
By the time, I also worry about others in my team. It is said that Sun ERI Beijing will let more than 60 people layoff their position. Today is just a start. I just hope others could get off the hook this time, good luck to our team!
BLESS ALL THE GUYS.

最后一点点回忆
临走那天，留下了自己在Sun的最后一点印象。左面的照片是我的badge，右面的则是我的cube。最后一点点回忆，记录下来。
另：看到了Yongsun博客里面的照片，ERI年会的。很感慨，没能赶上这次聚会，有点可惜。
不过新的路程开始了，要向前看喽。

难说再见
今天和Sun告别了，是在Sun工作的最后一天，很感慨。八个月就这样过去了，真快。难忘曾经和他们在一起的日子。一起工作、一起学习，一起享受Foosball的乐趣。有点不舍。
发了最后的一封邮件，和大家Farewell了。但是，希望不是永远告别，希望还有机会回到AGC大家庭当中。
难说再见。
看看我博客的标签，就会知道，这几个月之于我，是多么重要，多么值得怀念。
相见不如怀念，14号再回去，和大家道别。

Mount Writable NTFS in OpenSolaris
As I mentioned before, there is a way to mount read-only NTFS Partition in OpenSolaris by using an open source project. You can see my article: http://www.PriorMind.com/?p=74 for detail information. But there is a serious problem, which may let us fell painful: This project doesn’t have a good support on Chinese characters.
Actually, Linux users can mount writable NTFS partition easily, but why OpenSolaris users cannot? Fortunately, I found this binary pkg package yesterday, and installed on my OpenSolaris 2008.11 successfully. You can download pkg package from here: http://ocean1.ee.duth.gr/SolarisX/ASntfs-3g-1.5012.tar.gz. This project is called NTFS-3G. You can go to http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ for getting further information.
After download, you should install the three package in this order: SUNWfusefs.pkg, SUNWlibfuse.pkg and ASntfs-3g-1.5012.pkg. Please see README file.
To mount a NTFS partition, you may execute that command:
# ntfs-3g /dev/dsk/c0d0p1 /mnt/Windows
But there is a problem when I am using this module: I cannot mount my NTFS partition in the extend partition. I’ve tried /dev/dsk/c0d0p2 and /dev/dsk/c0d0p2:1, but both of them are failed. If you can mount your NTFS in LBA, please kindly teach me how to do that. Thanks!
After installing and mounting, we will be able to read and write data on NTFS. Moreover, with that program, we can read localized characters correctly!
Why not have a try?

Colorful and Syntax highlight enabled VIM on OpenSolaris
When editing some text file or program code in OpenSolaris, you may want to use VI or VIM. But, OpenSolaris cannot give you a colorful and syntax highlight enabled vim by default. Fortunately, These two functions can be actived by writing some text into ~/.vimrc, in another word, we can configure vim profile to enable that functions.
So, let’s do it *right now*! Just follow this steps:
open ~/.vimrc and put the following text into the file:
set term=xtermc
set nu
if &t_Co > 1
syntax on
endifopen ~/.bashrc to let vi alias to vim, just append the text into ~/.bashrc:
alias vi=‘vim’
Done! Congratulations!

在OpenSolaris下通过Pidgin使用QQ
前一阵子，我在自己的博客上发表了如何在Solaris下编译QQ。但是对于OpenSolaris来说，相对而言就麻烦了一些，因为一些基础编译包包含的不全。但是，我们应该看到一点，那就是OpenSolaris与Solaris Nevada使用的同一内核。这也就是说，通过Solaris Nevada编译好的QQ插件，是可以用到OpenSolaris上的。
所以我又重新在Solaris上编译了最新版本的pidgin，并得到了QQ的插件。对于OpenSolaris来讲（我使用的是即将发布的OpenSolaris 2008.11的RC2测试版），直接将里面的文件复制到 ~/.purple/plugins 目录下就可以了。当然，plugins这个目录在初始状态下并不存在。如果想让这项功能适用于所有用户，则可以将文件复制到 /usr/lib/purple-2 目录下。
随后就可以顺利使用喽！很简单吧？
使用OpenSolaris的朋友们赶紧下载这个QQ插件吧：libqq-pidgin-2.5.2.tar.gz
另外我也在尝试编译fetion插件。不过现在在makefile这块出现了点问题。如果大家谁能够编译了fetion插件，也拿出来和大家分享一下啊。呵呵。

Suvey Table with Global Map
利用现有资源做了一个可以显示地图的调查表，方便公司的一些本地化图形调查。
http://www.PriorMind.com_file/globalvote/globalvote.html
使用了DIY Map提供的Flash程序：http://backspace.com/mapapp/
当点击到某个特定的区域时，调查表展开针对这一区域或是增强型的问题。当然也可以做成直接提交状。
数据部分用xml存储。直接扩展了DIY Map的xml文件：

调整 OpenSolaris nVIDIA 显卡外接投影仪的分辨率
来自公司大牛YongSun博客中的一篇解决方案：
http://blogs.sun.com/yongsun/entry/%E8%B0%83%E6%95%B4_opensolaris_nvidia_%E6%98%BE%E5%8D%A1%E5%A4%96%E6%8E%A5%E6%8A%95%E5%BD%B1%E4%BB%AA%E7%9A%84%E5%88%86%E8%BE%A8%E7%8E%87我所使用的是Dell的一款笔记本，配备了nVIDIA的显卡。当外接投影仪的时候，用nvidia-settings(1)自动检测（Detect Displays），可以发现有另一个model（因为是VGA输出，所以通常是CRT-0），但是这个screen的分辨率不能调整、且仅为 640x480。这对进行演讲来说非常不方便。可以用如下方法来解决：
- 先点击“Save to X Configuration File”将这个设置保存到X的配置文件中，即/etc/X11/xorg.conf，
- 然后编辑该配置文件，定位到ModelName为“CRT-0”的那个Monitor Section，调整水平和垂直刷新，例如：
HorizSync 31.5 — 64.3
VertRefresh 40.0 — 150.0 - 然后退出并重启X，再运行nvidia-settings，就可以看到CRT-0有更多的分辨率可以选择了，不过好像只有4:3的分辨率可选。
详细信息可以参考nVIDIA驱动的README。
