Serial Experiments Larme

back from the cure's show

I burst into tears at the beginning of the show, cracked my voice after a string of "hit" songs (lovesong, inbetween, just like heaven, friday etc.), however recovered by hearing the intro of the deep green sea and keep jumping, shouting for the rest of show.

It's my first the cure show and you really can't get the feeling unless you were there. Your childhood heros were on the stage, 10 feet away from you, You put your hands to the sky and try to touch them, even knowing it's impossible. You keep screaming and crying and don't know why. When they leave, you feel a tiny part of your soul and your life have gone with them.

Another test from marsedit

I'm test driving the marsedit, which is a blog client for mac os exclusively. This entire post is written inside this program.

I find the biggest disappointment is that it doesn't have ilife integration! That means for example you can't insert a picture from iphoto directly. How come a software for mac exclusively and cost 25 US dollars doesn't have ilife integration?

Another disappointment is that it can't do rich text editing (no WYSIWYG). Well, my main web browser (safari) can't handle the rich text editor on the typepad web interface too, and I'm used to writing posts with markdown markups and/or plain html codes.

Where marsedit truly shines is the simplicity. It took me less than one minutes from starting the program (for its first time) to writing this post. What you need to setup the whole system is just filling in your blog url and your username/password. The interface is also clean and intuitive.

But after all, I think I won't throw $25 to this software. I haven't tried its competitor ecto yet. But from the feature list on ecto's website, it seems more promising than marsedit, and it's less expensive ($18).

another test, hey

Wilco is the band

A test

But not only a test. This is my English blog and I think I'll talk more on this blog than the Chinese one.
