Earthquake@Toronto - 多伦多地震了

 10分钟之前,俺工作地方,距离地面9楼的高度,一度摇晃不止,开始还觉得是头晕,还好,晃得不厉害,士嘉堡和当堂那边传来消息,同样的现象,应该是地球欢迎各国元首的G20聚会而提前放了个礼炮。

维修:热水炉打不着火

家里的热水炉有10年了,前天拆厨房的旧橱柜关了水总阀门,顺便把它也关火了,橱柜拆完了后又按顺序把水阀门和热水炉打开,早上冲澡时发现水是凉的,跑到地下室把热水炉的开关从warm拧到hot,没有听到火变大的声音,以为今天停天然气气了,打电话给enbridge确认天然气没有停,心想完了,老家伙该换了,即便如此,换之前还是先看看能不能冒着生命危险鼓捣鼓捣,螺丝拧下又拧上,没有头绪,上楼查google,51.ca,和youtube,没想到还真在youtube上找到了解决方法,去dollarama花1元买了个长脖子打火机pilot lighter,按照youtube视频,拆下前挡板,长按红色按钮,用打火机引燃热偶,问题解决。

Community Shared Agriculture - 菜篮子

 刚看完一个纪录片,John Peterson的CSA - The Real Dirt on Farmer John

这个所谓的CSA在美加两地的城乡结合部比较流行,付个一次性的季度费用给农场,大概200至1000元不等,然后每周就会收到一箱该农场自产的搭配好的各种有机蔬菜水果,甚至鸡猪牛羊肉,合计每周支出二三十块钱,貌似不错,可惜安省这n多家农场,没有一个给俺们密市供货。

Install Ubuntu on netbook without hard drive

Steps for installing Ubuntu on Samsung N130 Netbook without mechanical hard drive

1. Download Ubuntu latest build: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/lucid-desktop-i386.iso 
2. Burn the ISO to a CD, or use UltraISO to write the content of the ISO to a 2GB USB stick
3. Remove SATA hard drive and replace with below SATA-SD Adapter (search eBay ~$20)
4. Insert a 16GB or 8GB SD card in the adapter’s slot
5. Plug the SATA-SD adapter to the position and plug the CDROM or 2GB USB stick in one of the USB slot
6. Set BOOT sequence in BIOS to USB-HDD
7. Power up netbook and perform the installation
8. After installation, when it prompt to remove CDROM or USB stick, remove it and hit ENTER to reboot
9. If you get "Out of disk … Grub rescue" message, go to BIOS to change "Large Disk Access Mode" to "Other", this is the point blocks me for several days.

Now you can shake your netbook, or keep it running when heading home, and without worry about damage to your "hard disk" - the SD card.
