Serivce Unavailable

I got "Service Unavailable" message when setting up an IIS website. It happened after I install Visual Studio 2005.

Google tells me that is because of some AppPool doesn't have enough privileges to run some program...I spent 10 hours to uninstall and reinstall related software: IIS, dotNet Framework, VS, SQL Server... Finally, when I tried to install the dotNet Framework 2, I got this message:
Error 25007:Error occurred while initializing fusion. Setup could not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim().


What the hell is fusion? I found the creator of this error message which is a programmer in Microsoft. His blog said: Please visit xxx to clean up and reinstall. That spend me another hour. Finally, in the Microsoft's forum, Filipe Janela said:

I experienced exactly the same problem and solved it by deleting the policies folders under %windir%\WinSxS

Hope it helps.

Who cares what these folders are? (yes, I checked the date of these folders and found it's created in these 2 days. So they are not from the original system.) Anyway, this is the ultimate solution for everything. Now I got the .NET Framework 2 installed.

Wish List

记下来,免得每次都要认真回想。

  • 1. 2.1 Computer Speaker System. About $120.
  • 2. 2G Memory Card. About $80. I can copy a lot of music to the GPS.
  • 3. Tripod. About $40. Without tripod, it's hard to take picture at night, when flash is turned off.
  • 4. CD Visor. About $10. I am trying to find it in Dollar Store. It can easily fit into car's visor, so it's easy to access the CDs when driving.

Music: 又见陈果

前年我曾介绍过陈果的歌曲。 这段时间我碰到她的《女人香》ape版本,随便下载下来。

ape是一些音响发烧友跟风的格式。原本一张CD能够放640M字节,大概有15首歌曲。如果拷成mp3格式,大概5-6M一首,也就是90M而已。剩下550M的东西跑哪里去了?本来mp3格式能够192kbps的容量,也就是1秒钟保存20,000字节的数据,人称CD音质(32kbps称收音机音质),也就是说它能够很好体现CD的声音效果了。但是因为这550M的东西不见了,音响发烧友就质疑mp3,决定把一张CD完整拷贝下来,不做任何压缩。这就出现了ape格式。大多数的CD压成ape格式都在300M到400M之间,因为那些CD厂商从来没有把一张CD装满 :( 播放ape格式的最流行软件是 foobar2000(自由软件)。用这种格式的最严重效果是:硬盘很快就被堆满了。
其实如果没有发烧友级别的音响系统,用ape格式根本听不出什么区别来。

陈果的这张专辑应该是她的第四张。我没有听到其他两张,但是这张还是沿袭以前的风格:“邻家大姐”。所唱得还是脍炙人口的好歌:
1.依靠
2.穿过你的黑发的我的手
3.为什么你背着我爱别人
4.女人香
5.谢谢你的爱
6.吻别
7.不要对他说
8.爱你一万年
9.为了爱梦一生
10.堆积情感
基本上是唱得比我好的卡拉OK的模式。每首歌都很亲切。比如说“谢谢你的爱”原来由刘德华唱得很悲愤,
不喜欢孤独 却又害怕两个人相处
这分明是一种痛苦
在这张专辑里就很淡淡地诉说着自己的心情,让人有“我听尤怜”之感。

Clear Type

After I installed Windows 2003 Server, I noticed that the font is ugly. I know that is because I haven't deployed Clear Type yet.

Clear Type is never officially introduced. After you install a Windows system, you don't get any message suggesting you to install it. Each time you upgrade your system, it is automatically turned off, if it was on. But the fact is, it is very important for LCD monitor users. You can check the right image to find out the difference, both in Chinese characters and English characters. (Click the image will open the original one with bigger size.)

Google "Microsoft Clear Type" will direct you to Microsoft's ClearType Tuner page. You can read the scientific principle of using Clear Type, and adjust your Clear Type setting by downloading an add-on. Wait, the add-on only works with Windows XP. For my Windows 2003 Server, I downloaded the ClearType Tuner PowerToy to perform the task. It works pretty good now.

One hint: Clear Type shows great improvement in italic font. That's why in the ClearType Tuner page, the sample is in italic.
One more: Clear Type only works for LCD monitor, not CRT monitor.

Backup your Firefox

I installed a new system in my computer. Yes, dual system, that's what others call. Then I installed some necessary softwares. Now I can avoid the clumsy old system.

Of course Firefox is one of the necessary softwares. As usual, after I installed the Firefox, I changed the tab-browsing behavior and installed Adblock. Then imported the book mark from the old system. Wait, I still have to change the font setting, I don't like the default setting, and in the old system, I've tuned it in pretty well. The Search Engines list in the top left corner should be customized too... I still changed some trivial settings using the about:config. It's hard to recall all the settings, but I would prefer to have them in the new system.

OK, now I need a whole new system to backup and restore my settings of Firefox. So I visited the Firefox Extension page to search the extension I am thinking of. Good, Firefox Extension Backup Extension (FEBE) is exactly what I need:
FEBE backs up your extensions, themes, and (optionally) your bookmarks, preferences, passwords, cookies and just about everything else Firefox offers.
I restarted to old system, installed this extension. It is kind of stupid because you must visit "Option" to give a Backup Destination Path before you do anything. Otherwise, no matter what you click, you don't get any response. No error message, no warning, no prompt. After giving the path, you can select what you want to backup:

FEBE option

I selected "Backup the entire profile" and perform backup. It's fast. Several seconds later it creates a 4.7M file in my designated folder.

Error Message
I restarted the computer to new system, and install the same extension. I click "Restore Profile", no response. Right, I have to give the stupid "Backup Destination Path" again. After it's setup, the "Restore Profile" doesn't work. "Destination profile cannot be the current (active) profile!"


I am not that easy to be scared off. I browsed the developer's website, discussion forum and FAQ. Then I have an idea: Create a temp profile in Firefox by running "firefox.exe -ProfileManager", and log in that tempprofile to perform restore to replace the default profile, and delete the temp profile. This might not be the official way that the extension developer think of. I actually think this is a very simple routine which should be solved by the developer.


Yes, that method works pretty good. Now I have the full package restored.



Happy ever after. From now on, wherever I moved to, I can simply copy the 4.7M profile with me, and restore all my settings in new computer in 5 minutes.

Telecommuting

Telecommuting, or home office, can be good, if the person have strong self-control, and refuse to be bothered by family chores.

A friend's wife is working for Cisco at home. The friend spends 1 hour and 40 minutes in commuting every day. It is quite normal in this growing city. He said if his wife had to go to work like him, they had to got up 30 minutes earlier, because she would have to do some make up, and make breakfast for both of them. Apparently, she saved at least 2 hours every day. Considering they have a pre-school daughter who goes to school after the friend leaves home every day, it would have been a headache to send her to school and pick up from school, if the wife has to go to work too.
