硕果仅存的Cape Breton照片

      感恩节期间去Cape Breton的三天旅程，还是十一长假期间的事情，但回来之后就一直忙于应付考试和作业，拍的照片堆在桌面上也没空处理，结果这回把系统从Tiger升级到Leopard，阴差阳错就删了个精光，惟一找回来的两张照片还是当时在MSN上发给朋友才侥幸得以保存。

       今年是第二回去Cape Breton，故地重游，虽然天色不佳，枫叶也未红遍满山，但还是觉得美景袭人。可惜这回倒乌龙，那些在阳光下璀璨透明的红叶，微风细雨江心垂钓的渔人、水平如镜丝带流畅的渡口，那些在温暖的晨曦中，捂着热咖啡，看窗外大西洋澎湃浪潮的悠然；那些就着篝火准备作业的忙里偷闲，那些在Skyline和Moose狭路相逢的惊喜交加，都只能在记忆中粗略重温。

       这张群树丛中的帐篷，是我们在ChetiCamp的一处营地。赶到营地的时候，暮色已降，借着车头大灯的帮助，能看到绿草地上满是枯黄的落叶，四周七八棵树围成一圈，如弯月一般，只留下一个朝向营地的缺口，中间的位置悄好可以放下一个帐篷，很让人有安全感。当晚，不光风声呼啸，雨也时大时小下了一晚，躺在号称能抵挡零下10度的睡袋里，不由得打着寒战咒骂老天，恍惚中中就遁入梦乡。

       因为第二天依然有雨，于是就定下去Sydney一游。Sydney是Cape Breton岛上最大的城市，而且和澳大利已的悉尼同名，可惜赶到Sydney才发现，这个城市委实让人失望。泛着冷色的街道，零星的行人，置身市郊让人倍感荒凉，而稍微人烟茂盛一点的Downtown，也不用五分钟就可以转完一圈。让人很有上当受骗的感觉，这能算一座城市么？        

Make DAL CISCO VPN support Leopard

Just got Leopard, everything works perfect, except one thing, we can not use CISCO VPN provided by DAL IT department. I got an Error 51 mistake. It troubles me a lot if I can’t use my MAC on Killiam Library.

Then I find that there is a latest version of CISCO VPN 4.9.01(0080), it does work on Leopard.

Step 1) Download CISCO VPN 4.9.01(0080), http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10317 or http://www.govnet.state.vt.us/restricted/ciscovpnclient/, this website belongs to some particular developer “Ricktdotorg”,(I think so, you can check http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19324376-Cisco-VPN-Client-and-Leopard for more detailed information. Thanks Ricktdotorg)

Step 2) Download the original one form Dalhousie network, we need the profile. Copy dalvpn.pcf from Profiles director to the same directory we just download. 

Step 3) Most Important! If you already have CISCO VPN installed. You must uninstall it first.

Use these commands in Terminal.

          cd /usr/local/bin

          sudo ./vpn_uninstall

Step 4)It will ask you if you want to uninstall, type in Yes and press enter.

  It will ask you if you want to delete your profiles and stuff, type in Yes and press enter.

Setp 5)Install the new VPN edition and Enjoy.

Step 5)Optional, if you want to use Shimo instead of ugly CISCO interface and you don’t want the CISCO VPN icon appear in your application directory. See http://mactigercat.blogspot.com/2007/09/dalhousievpnciscovpncisco.html.

Select “custom” in installation, and deselect vpnclient-gui then finish installation.

Step 6)Install Shimo, now everything is “Native”.

去除QuickSilver启动的动画

QuickSilver是MAC必备的软件，所以总是设置让它开机启动。不过QuickSilver喜欢在启动的时候，用动画的形式由小到大旋转着显示一个“QS”的字样，我比较喜欢让它安静的运行，但又无法在设置中找到去除显示动画的选项。

于是，让QuickSilver显示包内容，打开Contents－Resources文件夹，找到一个叫QSLigature.png的文件，删除。OK，QuickSilver这下安静啦。
