The other day I saw chedong was using Awstats as his blog’s statistics tool, I was so impressed by the powerful functionality and detailed outputs. I thought if I could use this tool on my blog, it’s gonna be so cool. But thing is never that easy, after I grabbed Awstats from its official site, I found this thing is too complicate for me to install, I almost got sick after reading its attached documentation, tons of information threw themselves on me, I didn’t even know where to start. Awstats is based on PERL, I know nothing about PERL programming, installing Awstats requires knowledge on UNIX/Linux command line, I know nothing about Shell either, therefore I didn’t make it eventually. However blog.istef.info released an article which gave me a simple guideline installing Awstats, after several unsuccessful trials, I finally had it installed on my blog (check it out here). I have to say I benefited a lot through this process, I got acquainted to Shell command, I learned some UNIX/Linux infrastructure, it was a really nice experience.

I’m going to log my installing process in the following, if you are not interested, skip it.

The tutorial on blog.istef.info seems intuitive and applicable, I thought I can do that within minutes, however things often get complex once you start to get them implemented. Since I am a complete newbie to UNIX/Linux, I got totally confused about the commands that ofter refered by the tutorial. Thus, I dug into another article that posted on Dreamhost Wiki, which has a clearer structure, but unfortunately this additional article confused me more, simply put, these two articles have many differences, I don’t know how to do.

Then chedong mentioned a new article which helped me a lot, I finally had Awstats installed on my blog, everything seemed working fine, but soon I found the cron job didn’t work at all. The strange thing was I didn’t make any wrong, the syntax looks good. This bewildered me, I tried many ways but just couldn’t solve the problem. Today I happened to delete some spaces in the script of the cron job, it worked!

Until now, Awstats has been working fine on my blog.

懒得看英文的，看看这个中文的版本。

微软前不久终于上线新版的MSN Spaces, 当然现在为了统一的LIVE战略，被改名就Live Spaces, 不知道为什么一出来就被几乎所有的人骂的一塌糊涂。看了很多评论就没有一个是在赞扬这个Live Spaces的。

我上了我的Space做了一下测试，所有的测试都在firefox上完成，结果没明显感觉Live Spaces哪里让我不舒服了，如图，字体和版面看起来都很正常。在firefox下，最为人诟病的页面上方的大幅广告也被block了，所有一切看起来都很完美的样子。最让我感觉到舒心的是原来的三栏版式终于扩到全屏了。原来微软也是为了照顾用老显示器的用户，把三栏版式弄成800×600的分辨率下显示优化，但同时就让用1024×768或更高分辨率的屏幕看起来右边空了一大块，让中间的文字显的很拥挤。微软现在也意识到现在的电脑绝大部分都不会再用低于1024×768的分辨率了，所以改版后终于把屏幕占满了，当然再高的分辨率看起来还是会有空白。

还有速度，都说load页面的时间很长，我试的时候感觉都还行，在firefox下速度还是可以接受的，在IE下我感觉确实有点慢，可能是给IE优化的代码太臃肿，Live Spaces小组得想法优化一下代码，或者是访问量太大，不过我想这一点对微软来说不能算是什么问题，多加几台服务器的事，微软最不缺的就是钱。最让firefox用户高兴的应该是这回的Live Spaces对非IE浏览器的支持大大的加强了，原来的MSN Spaces对firefox的支持只能用糟糕来形容，很多IE下能用的效果在firefox下完全没有，比如点“留言”后没有IE那种即时出来的效果，必须要转到下一个页面，写帖子时有些文字特效完全没有，除了这个还有有时候莫名其妙的不能发贴或是修改贴子。不过我发现现在好像一切都没问题了，Live Spaces对firefox的支持可以说完美了。

所以这个故事告诉我们，firefox才是王道。

我晚上睡觉会说梦话。

我从小，非常小的时候睡觉就经常说梦话，我的房间跟我爸妈的房间离的特近，我妈总喜欢在第二天早晨跟我说我头天晚上睡觉时说了梦话，不过对我到底说了些什么，她却不能说出个一二三来，只能零零星星的记起一些片段。这也难怪，梦里说的话多数是断断续续并且没有逻辑的，让我妈记住这些确实太难为她了。不过从我妈那里知道我梦话时发音清晰，语调抑扬钝锉，时而嘟哝时而大喊。总而言之，相当的投入。

本科住宿舍时我这说梦话的本领在开始时成了同屋兄弟的谈资。毛毛睡觉轻所以就经常能听见我说梦话，据他说，开始时他夜里被我说话吵醒，以为我在跟他说话，但死活听不清我在说啥，回问我时我自说自的根本不睬他，他这才意识到我在说梦话。我笑话他笨，连梦话和正常说话都分不清，他很委屈地说，我说梦话时语调中正，声音混厚，听起来跟平时说话没两样……又据他说，我经常在夜里用普通话广州话和英文三种语言不停轮流广播……但我每次问他我说了啥，他都说当时记得但走上起来就忘了，还发誓说下次在枕边放个小本，晚上我说梦话时就给我记下来，后来终究也没这么干，所以我睡觉时到底说些啥我至今也没搞明白。在吉大学了不少东西的同时，说梦话的水平也日益增长，寝室里的老邱也被我拐带着开始说起梦话来了。到了大三下，毛毛终于有了重大发现——我和老邱能在梦里互问互答了……

我的问题是，为什么所有听了我说梦话的人事后都想不起来内容？难道这中间有什么magic的东东？

夜里的铁塔，通体的灯光，使它像白天一样，在遥远处就能被看到。

巴黎铁塔晚上每逢整点，塔身会发出此起彼伏的闪光，远远看起来相当的迷幻。

在铁塔正下方，偶要仰躺在地上才能照出这个角度，辛苦哇……里面没有偶，呵呵。
