一个鸡蛋,一个孩子,一个学年。 »

“一个鸡蛋”,由谷歌开始的公益项目。在创意诞生的一个月后,于2008年底正式启动。

首位受益的是陕西省永寿县马坊镇耿家小学。

“一个鸡蛋”第一天

于此,我也想尽自己的一点能力,在博客上宣传一下。 我盼望能有更多的人参与,不仅仅是为了公益事业,更是为了一种人生态度:施比受更有福。

附上谷歌的宣传海报和倡议书:


倡议书

当你抱怨食堂猪肉太肥,鸡肉太老的时候
当你盘算晚餐去”小肥羊”还是”香辣蟹”时候
当你在自助餐厅毫不犹豫倒掉过剩饭菜的时候
你可曾想像在某个遥远的山村,有一群孩子 冬天,零下8度,他们啃着从家带来的馍, 坐在四处漏风的教室里,脸上,简单快乐的笑容。
他们没见过巧克力,没吃过奶油蛋糕,更不知道肯德基、麦当劳为何物
肉,是奢侈品,一年只能吃到3-4次 甚至鸡蛋这种日常食品,一个月吃两次已是奢侈
六年级(1)班的30多个孩子,平均年纪12-14岁,平均身高只有一米三 他们是全镇硬件条件最差的学校,但学习成绩却排全镇第二
他们是陕西省永寿县马坊镇耿家小学的孩子 我们在抱怨生活的同时,可否试问我们能为这些孩子做点什么 不用太多,只需要一点点:

每天一个鸡蛋

10 Essential Mac Apps to Install After a Reformat

via MakeUseOf.com by Jackson Chung on 3/10/08


I format my Mac once a year, either because it’s clunked up with old .prefs files or because I just feel like performing a zero-out on my hard disk. One good thing about owning a Mac is never having to worry about installing drivers after reformatting. So that’s one problem avoided. Having a checklist of applications to install is quite handy to get my Mac up and running as quickly as possible. So, I’d like to share the applications I consider to be essential:

(1) NeoOffice

Get right back to work! It’s an open source set of office applications (word processing, spreadsheet, presentation) for Mac OS X. It also supports editing of Microsoft Office 2007 files so you don’t need to quiver in fear when your colleague hands .docx files over to you.

(2) Perian and Flip4Mac

Perian is known as the ‘Swiss-army knife for Quicktime’ because once installed, Quicktime can be used to play nearly every format of video there is, except WMV. So that is why I paired this entry up. Together with Flip4Mac, Quicktime is all geared up and good to go.

VLC Player is also an option if you don’t like using Quicktime. With VLC, you can set playlists, boost the volume until 200%, zoom in and change the aspect ratio of the video, so generally it’s more powerful. However, I feel that VLC takes slightly longer to load, that’s why I choose Quicktime for everyday use.

(3) UnRarX

I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this app. Similar to Stuffit Expander, UnRarX is a .rar decompression utility. I prefer it to Stuffit Expander because I find it easier to use, it handles segmented .rar archives, and it even manages to decode archives which failed with Stuffit Expander!

(4) Adium

Feeling the shakes? Withdrawn from instant messaging? Adium is an IM app that is connects to almost all popular IM protocols (AOL, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Jabber, Google Talk, Gadu-Gadu etc.). It’s so customizable that you can make it match your favorite wallpaper, if you need to. Check out some screenshots here.

(5) Gmail Notifier

Normally, I use Apple Mail with IMAP to get my mail directly onto my Mac. But for those who don’t want to go through the hassle of setting up an IMAP account, Gmail Notifier is quick and easy to use.

(6) Image Shackle

Want to change your profile picture on Facebook? Darn, that photo is just too large! I use Image Shackle to instantly resize my images. It’s a dashboard widget, so wherever the photo is, just click-and-hold it, press F12 and drop it into Image Shackle, set the size of the output photo and click Shackle! Easy, isn’t it?

Image Shackle - Dashboard Image Resizer for Mac

Image Shackle only resizes a photo at a time to any default size you set. And it doesn’t do cropping, so you can’t use it for heavy-duty image processing.

(7) Transmission

A lightweight yet functional BitTorrent client that’s open source, so it will also run on Linux and BSD systems. This is an alternative to the famous Azureus, for those who don’t like the bloated-ness of Java. On the surface, Transmission seems to be simple but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll notice that it has some pretty cool features like speed restriction at certain times of the day and Peer Exchange (similar to Azureus’s DHT).

(8) Skype

Need I say more? The most popular VoIP application out there.

(9) ZIP Quick Look plugin

Leopard’s Quick Look feature is really useful when you want to preview photos, videos or even Word and PowerPoint documents. But .zip files still need to be unzipped before you can tell what is really inside. This plugin allows you to view the contents without having to unzip anything. It comes in handy after you’ve downloaded .zip files from dodgy sites and would like to check out what they contain before releasing them into your system.

(10) MenuMeters

MenuMeter

This is normally the first application I install. It’s a set of monitoring tools and reads system information like CPU load, memory usage and network activity and it sits subtly on the menu bar. If you’re a control freak like me, then you’d want to know if a process is taking up 100% of your CPU resources.

MenuMeter

All these applications are free and available for Mac OS X Leopard. I hope you found this list useful. If there are any other applications I may have missed or better than the ones here, let me know in the comments.
