I wanted to add my chinese name to my cv and spent a little bit time digging. Displaying chinese with latex turns out need more tweaking than I thought. But this article takes care of everything.

mount error(1)

After reinstalling ubuntu 10.04.3, I couldn’t remount to the share drive unless using sudo. I kept getting the error message: mount error(1): Operation not permitted. After a little bit digging, this post solved the problem perfectly!
Reinstalling GRUB
Posted on
Lots of post mentioned that before. I recently reinstalled Ubuntu and I had three drives in my computer. After installation, I wanted to remove one of the drive since it appears that the system was extremely slow and unstable with all three drives plugged in. I suspect that it was a power problem since I…
Ubuntu installation on nvidia computer
Posted on
My harddrive died recently and so I reinstalled ubuntu. I got fed up with new release breaking tiny things often. So I tried to stick with LTS this time (10.04 when I wrote this). I have an NVidia graphic card and dual monitor. I recalled troubles already from my previous experience of installing Ubuntu. I…
Invite people in google plus who are already in your circle
Posted on
I love google plus so far. I don’t use facebook as much as I wanted to because I don’t like the idea of sharing photos indifferently to both true friends, and well…, friends. The idea of “circle” in google plus is ingenious. And yet, it is so obvious that I really don’t know why until…

Ubuntu share folders
Posted on
I used to use Samba to share folders between my laptop and my desktop. It works fine until 10.10 that Ubuntu decided to act crazy and screw the whole mount.cifs thing. I still managed to share the folders for a while after some tweaks with /etc/fstab. But today it is just not working anymore. I…
Deferred binding failure in GWT
Posted on
I am a total newbie to GWT/GAE framework. I was playing and modifying an objectify sample code myself last night and get into a “deferred binding failure” error. What I did is to add another entity class and extend classes PersistentService, PersistentServiceImp, and PersistentSerivceAsync to persist my data. I first ran the code as Web Application….
Annoying Opacify Feature in 10.10
Posted on
Okay. I found this so-called opacify feature extremely annoying (I’ll just call it retarded to show my anger towards it). Basically, it makes any other overlapping windows to fade out from the window currently moused over with. It doesn’t sound so annoying but you will know if you use it for an hour or two….
