Bye-bye, Sunbird
是過去四、五年來每天開電腦最先看到的畫面
今天正式送走了它
因為它在11月份正式與Thunderbird這個郵件軟體結合
成了Thunderbird的一部份，以lightning這個套件的形式外掛進Thunderbird。
看到兩個我最喜歡的工具程式合而為一
心裡很是高興
但對於Sunbird這個代表自由軟體行事曆的圖謄
還是有些不捨
Bye, Sunbird. Go, Go, Go, Thunderbird!

JabRef中是可以顯示中文的！
當了鴕鳥、不去面對問題一陣子之後
今天總算坐來下爬文。我現在知道怎麼做了：

作業系統若是Linux，就要為Java安裝一下中文字體。

在Linux下使用用rsync + crontab來自動備份資料可以比美Mac下的time machine
以後系統可以定時自動備份，為自己每天的生活多省下了一點時間，感覺還不錯。至少這樣子已經讓我的Linux FC12可以運作得像有time machine的Mac了。
雖然Mac的time machine很聰明，不需要手動，但我發現它的檔案格式並不友善（一定要format成mac格式），而且備份硬碟容量需要很多（像iMac有500G，備份磁碟容量就不能少於500Gb），不夠經濟。

Computational modelling is a new method for the social sciences,
combining many of the advantages of quantitative and qualitative
approaches. It also has distinctive benefits of its own. SIMIAN:
Simulation: a Node of ESRC National Centre for Research Methods wishes
to encourage UK postgraduate students from any discipline who would like
to apply mixed methods or use an innovative method for their research to
attend the Social Simulation Summer School, which will be held in the
University of Brescia, Italy from 13th to 17th September 2010.
The Summer School in Social Simulation aims to provide a comprehensive
educational programme on the basics of this new field. Lectures range
from epistemological to methodological issues, from examples of real
world applications to policy implications, and are accompanied by
modelling exercises, student papers and the discussion of research
projects, and tutoring sessions. Lecturers at the Summer School include:
Iqbal Adjali (Unilever, UK)
Riccardo Boero (University of Torino, Italy)
Giangiacomo Bravo (University of Torino, Italy)
