将友情链接分成两栏

blacktulip — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:09:00 +0000

一段时间以前，我写过一篇名为“流行博客模板的演变”的文章。实际上要是不放置广告的话，两栏模板足够了，比方网贝现在这样子，还比较清爽利落。

但是对于两栏模板一直有一个问题，就是边栏比较宽，一般有300像素以上。像友情链接这样的栏目，只能用到边栏的一半不到，另一半只好空着，一则不好看不紧凑，二则空间利用率低下，三则造成侧边栏过长。如果能把300像素全利用上，效果无疑会更好。

显然有此想法的不止我一个人。MG12在他的blog上写了一个系列教程教大家怎样把友情链接分成两栏。如果有兴趣，可以访问将Blogroll分为两栏进行学习。

我相信这个教程适用于大部分的WordPress模板，不过网贝所使用的这个Options模板可能对Blogroll部分进行过特殊处理，所以用不上去。blacktulip虽然不会编程，变通总是会的。看我用表格做一个分两栏，不是也挺好么？嘿嘿。如果不想费劲学MG12的PHP代码，就用简简单单的td，tr标签吧。

海内悄推停车大战，娱乐化外别有深意

blacktulip — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:00:00 +0000

继推出买卖好友，相似度，投票，扎绵羊等娱乐功能后，海内又悄悄上线了一个小游戏：停车大战。当然了，循例这也不会是原创，开心网早有一样的东西了。

停车大战的规则是在好友的地盘上停车赚钱，但赚钱的前提是好友没发现，或者置之不理，否则赚的钱尽归好友。除了进一步娱乐化，选择这个小游戏本身是很有点意思的。

首先提高了上线率。海内基本上是个可以一天只上一次的网站，不过要是想好好玩停车大战这样的游戏，一天一次是不行的，至少也得上去五六次盯着自己的车子和停车位，否则钱就没有了。其次提高了粘性，大家都要时时在线看车，当然不会死盯着，也会顺便有点别的动作。这样最后也就顺道提高了互动。一举数得，算盘打得不错。

当然，与买卖好友一样，邀请一个朋友加入海内也会给停车大战这个游戏送钱，而且送得很多。这样一来，也可以稍微加快用户增长。

不过我还是想问海内一句，做这些东西，你做的过开心么？有没有什么别的绝招亮出来给我们看看？

这个停车大战的小游戏没有像以前一样塞进左侧菜单栏，也许王兴也觉得不能再增加菜单项了吧。现有的15个菜单项已经非常令人发指了，我不明白海内在给界面不断小修小补的时候，为什么不好好重新设计一下这个一看就烦的左侧菜单栏。

PS：海内的停车大战访问地址为：http://www.hainei.com/parking

PS2：我给王兴提个建议，把Ogame移植进海内吧，那个东西可粘人，嘿嘿。

360安全卫士与卡巴斯基互杀，巧合乎？恩怨乎？

blacktulip — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:13:00 +0000

继3天前本站报道360安全卫士整合BitDefender提供免费杀毒服务之后，今日传来令人哭笑不得的消息，360安全卫士与卡巴斯基互相把对方列为木马，并进行清除。

巧合？这也太巧了。我猜测是由于360安全卫士选择了BitDefender作为合作对象，引起卡巴斯基方面的不满；也可能是卡巴斯基与360安全卫士谈合作期间要价太高，致使360方面转向BitDefender并对卡巴斯基不满。一方先把另一方设为木马，而另一方为报复也作出同样的举动。

推测谁先动手已经没有意义，这件事情双方都做的太不漂亮了。两个知名软件做这样的事情，像小孩子打架一般，最后的的受害者还不是用户。一个杀毒软件，最重要的就是名声 — 比方瑞星这种垃圾中的垃圾，靠着有点名声还不是活得好好的 — 而这种滥用病毒库打击非恶意程序的事情，要是被竞争对手抓住辫子广为传播，对软件公司有什么好处呢？真不明白怎么会有这么可笑的事情发生。

BTW：在360安全中心的主页上，原来与卡巴斯基合作的大Banner已经撤掉，只剩最底下的一个Logo链接。看来双方的合作也快走到头了。

桌面壁纸站Desktopography

blacktulip — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 01:19:00 +0000

所谓的桌面壁纸，其实也就是一些好看图片而已，blacktulip自己是用了蓝底很多年了，既省资源又清爽干净，何必搞什么美化呢？

当然好这口的人还是不少的，所以发现好的壁纸站我还是要推荐一下，Desktopography。初看到这个词的后半截的时候，我还邪恶地联想了一下…后来发现不是那么回事，里面都是些很好看很好看的图片，都是免费下载的。

这个站现在只有4套图片，从2005年起，每年出一套。从这几套图可以看到逐年的进步。2005年那一套其实平平无奇，往后越来越漂亮了。

贴几张小图大家看看吧。

Anyway，大家自己去各取所需吧。

Farnborough范堡罗航展2008

blacktulip — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:06:23 +0000

Farnborough (范堡罗，又译法恩伯勒) 航展60周年纪念，正好搞到一张票，于是整个周六报废……我是飞机盲，去航展只为拍照而已，有感兴趣的自己认吧。我只知道有空客A380，F16，台风，B1B，阿帕奇，全球鹰，大力神，米格29等。

不过倒是总结出许多参观航展的经验，记录如下：

绝不要带三脚架，完全彻底根本绝对用不上，你不能对飞机说：兄弟，停一下别动。它不理你。
如果只允许你穿一件东西去看航展，我建议：不要选内裤，选耳塞。
要是不想花钱上看台，那么自己带折凳。
镜头再长也不够长，大白起步，500mm折返凑合，1000mm折返应该就比较理想了。
千千万万打听清楚关门的时间，否则就要像我一样，绕3公里走出去…
相机和摄像机可以同时带着，但不要同时操作，否则拍出来的都是垃圾。
一定一定不要等到着急了才上厕所，预留至少半小时排队时间。
戴墨镜，最好是偏光镜(偏振镜)，这我聪明了一回，嘿嘿。

好了，你们以后要是去航展吃了亏别说我没事先提醒，照片拍了五百多，一轮选过后剩三百多，当然不能全贴上。挑了四十来张贴在这里，点击看大图。

360安全卫士整合免费杀毒软件，实为Bitdefender

blacktulip — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 22:17:00 +0000

360安全卫士，让我怎么说呢？就软件论软件，它是值得推荐的。事实上，在为几位对电脑不是很精通的朋友装机的时候，我也为他们安装了这个360安全卫士。不过它的前东家3721名声实在太臭，被“誉为”“中国流氓网络软件或插件的主要始作俑者之一”的周鸿祎本身的争议也很大。然而我的看法是，妓女尚且能从良，只要360安全卫士这个软件本身好用，前科什么的都不重要。

这两天360安全卫士推出了一个免费杀毒模块，当然不是自己开发的，而是罗马尼亚的Bitdefender引擎贴牌。这对360安全卫士来说不是什么新鲜事情了。前段时间推出的所谓“360安全浏览器”就是用TheWorld浏览器加上SandboxIE。当然这个“安全浏览器”是块垃圾，可以直接无视掉。但如果这次推出的免费杀毒模块具有Bitdefender全部功能的话，还是值得期待的。Bitdefender能够力压卡巴斯基连续两年拿下世界顶级杀毒软件排行榜第一，实力上毋庸置疑。

放眼望去，虽然杀毒软件市场百家争鸣，但在免费杀毒软件这一块上，能拉出来见人的还真不多。小红伞和AVG免费版也许是最好的选择了。现在360安全卫士带的这个免费版Bitdefender，不知道能否在一定程度上填补这块空白。

至于我嘛，我很懒，还是万年不变地用我的麦咖啡好了，反正也只是做个样子。良好的上网习惯，比杀软重要多了。

杨致远动用终极武器对抗伊坎，冀保现管理层

blacktulip — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:44:34 +0000

面对伊坎要求炒掉杨致远，清洗管理层步步进逼，雅虎现CEO杨致远在幕后折冲樽俎的同时，不惜亮出了他手上的终极武器 — 雅虎本身。确切的说，是至今仍雄踞互联网访问量排名首位的页面 — 雅虎主页。

在雅虎主页右侧，出现了一个醒目的大型紫色按钮，这个按钮会把访问者带到一个专门描述雅虎现董事会与伊坎的争论的页面。页面顶部是伊坎的一句“名言”

“这些搞技术的公司真是太令人费解了” — 卡尔.伊坎

接着是一个表格，列出了伊坎的投资记录，我这个外行看起来，这个记录是够失败的。

这篇文章的主旨是希望号召的尽可能多的雅虎股东联合起来对抗伊坎。杨致远为了造势，不惜出动了雅虎主页这个终极武器，声势不可谓不大，只是效果如何，实所难言。股东是不会管网上有多少人支持杨致远的，他们真金白银的投下去，要的也是真金白银的回报。如果杨致远不能说服这些股东雅虎改革后还有良好的盈利前景，就算在Google主页放这条消息也没用。

另外，据最新消息，雅虎现管理层已经得到了大股东之一Legg Mason的支持，Legg Mason持有4.4%的雅虎股份。假如他们能再说服雅虎最大股东Gordon Crawford(6%)的话，伊坎就可以暂时休息了。

WordPress官方主题站正式推出

blacktulip — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:53:51 +0000

继WordPress 2.6正式发布之后，WordPress官方又推出了这个WordPress主题站。

这个名为“主题目录”的站点跟官方的插件目录具有相同的形式，相同的页面布局和网站结构，向所有访问者开放，并且向wordpress.org的注册用户开放上传。只需注册一个账号，就可以把你自己做的主题放上这个官方的主题目录。当然，上传后是需要审核的。

从截图中可以见到，由于刚开站不久，现在只有区区3个主题，不过我相信这个数字增加得会很快，毕竟WordPress主题数以十万计。

各位WordPress主题作者，如果想扩大你的作品影响力的话，这个平台是个非常好的选择，官方做的东西，访问量肯定是有保证的，不过，在上传主题之前，请注意一点：所有作品必须以GPL版权形式发放。如果你对此没有意见，就立刻行动吧。

杨致远终于屈服，雅虎与微软交易将成

blacktulip — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:14:34 +0000

国外消息：雅虎公司现CEO杨致远给雅虎的股东们发了一封电子邮件，声称雅虎将作价每股33美元卖给微软，这场拖延了近半年的交易终于有望画上句号。

其中最重要的一小节：

… we will sell the entire Company to Microsoft for $33 per share or more if Microsoft will negotiate a transaction that delivers certainty of value and certainty of closing.

大意为：我们将把整个公司作价每股33美元(或以上)买给微软，如果微软愿意要的话。

如果想看原文，请继续：

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

The recently-formed Carl Icahn-Microsoft alliance continues to make misleading statements about their plans for Yahoo!. Your Board of Directors believes strongly that the Icahn-Microsoft agenda -as presented to us jointly last week - will destroy stockholder value at Yahoo!, serving only their very narrow special interests, clearly not your interests.

Your Board continues to work to maximize value for you and is taking the following steps to do so:

– Moving forward with our strategic plan and strategies to lead in online advertising - with both search and display;

– Preparing to implement our recently signed commercial agreement with Google that will increase cash flow;

– Continuing to explore other ways to unlock value and return value to you such as unlocking the value of our Asia assets; and

– Remaining open to negotiating a value creating transaction (including with Microsoft) that provides real and certain value - not just the possibility of value.

In contrast, let’s review Carl Icahn’s brief involvement with the Company to date.

Carl Icahn bought his stock two months ago for an estimated average cost of less than $25 per share. He is well-known as a corporate agitator with a short-term approach to his investments. His short-term approach gives Mr. Icahn a strong incentive to strike any deal with Microsoft that enables him to recover his investment and get back his money quickly, even a deal that does not provide full and fair value to you. Is that in the interests of all stockholders? Clearly, it is not.

Mr. Icahn has severely handicapped himself in his ability to negotiate a favorable transaction with Microsoft. Why?

– Mr. Icahn has made it clear that his only objective is to sell part or all of Yahoo! to Microsoft. That fact, combined with his lack of an operating plan going forward, means that he will have no leverage to negotiate a fair deal with Microsoft. He has set himself up for failure.

– Second, Mr. Icahn and his slate lack the working knowledge of Yahoo! and its Internet business needed to do two things that are required to successfully deliver a value-enhancing transaction for Yahoo! stockholders. First, they do not have the detailed knowledge to negotiate a complex restructuring of a large, innovative high technology company in a rapidly changing environment. Second, they do not have the hands-on experience to manage and lead Yahoo! during the approximately one year period estimated to be required to gain regulatory approval for a deal or to manage and lead the remainder of the Company (non-search) after a transaction is completed. Don’t take our word for that. Mr. Icahn will be calling the shots if his slate wins and yet Mr. Icahn himself told the Wall Street Journal last fall: “Technology hasn’t really been one of the things I’ve focused on too much before” and “It’s hard to understand these technology companies.” That’s why you need a knowledgeable, experienced and independent board to represent your interests vis-a-vis Microsoft.

Mr. Icahn can’t make up his mind about what he thinks will work for Yahoo!. He bought his position believing that he could bring Microsoft back to buy all of Yahoo!, at one point suggesting we publicly offer to sell Yahoo! to Microsoft for $34.375. But he didn’t do enough due diligence to determine what your Board already knew: that it was Microsoft’s decision to walk away and that it had rebuffed repeated efforts by your independent directors to get a whole company acquisition back on the table. Recognizing that a sale to Microsoft might not be an option, Mr. Icahn said as an alternative that we should enter into an agreement with Google (which we were already negotiating and subsequently signed), and that we should walk away from Microsoft’s search-only proposal (which we did after careful evaluation of that proposal). Then, in an extraordinary flip flop, Mr. Icahn teamed up with Microsoft and embraced their latest joint search-only proposal–even though it involved significant execution and operational risks and was fraught with flaws that made the “headline value” asserted by Microsoft and Mr. Icahn more illusion than reality.

How can Yahoo! stockholders trust Mr. Icahn to deliver what he claims he can deliver when his actions have been so contradictory -and when all he has delivered so far is a risky proposal of questionable value from his new friends at Microsoft? Yes, the Microsoft/Icahn proposal is somewhat of an improvement over Microsoft’s last search-only proposal, but no one should confuse a modestly improved offer with a good offer. The Icahn/Microsoft proposal was more “smoke and mirrors” than objective reality.

Now let’s turn to the recent marriage of convenience between Microsoft and Mr. Icahn.

This “odd couple” collaboration - between two parties with keenly different agendas - is indeed perplexing. Why does Mr. Icahn believe he can count on Microsoft to complete a transaction? Certainly Microsoft is a well-respected and successful company and we have been clear that we are fully prepared to do a deal with them. But Microsoft’s flip flops and inconsistencies over the past five months are so stupefying that one can only conclude that Microsoft was never fully committed to acquiring Yahoo! either because:

– Microsoft can’t decide what is and isn’t strategically important to its online business; or

– Microsoft is more interested in destabilizing a key competitor so that it can either enhance its competitive position or buy our highly valuable search business–and the enormously desirable intellectual property associated with it –at a bargain basement price.

Microsoft desperately needs to improve the performance of its online services business (consisting of its search and display assets) which, cumulatively since 2003, has lost money despite billions of dollars of investment. And yet Mr. Icahn would ignore this track record and its implications for his fellow Yahoo! stockholders, swallowing a deal that leaves Yahoo!’s future dependent, in part, on Microsoft’s ability to monetize search. And, as Mr. Icahn has himself pointed out, it would eliminate any opportunity we may have to sell the entire Company for an attractive premium.

In contrast to the conflicting and confusing statements emanating from the Icahn-Microsoft alliance, your Board and management have been crystal clear about our position.

First, we will sell the entire Company to Microsoft for $33 per share or more if Microsoft will negotiate a transaction that delivers certainty of value and certainty of closing. This is the simplest, most straightforward way to maximize value for you.

Second, we remain open to selling only search to Microsoft as long as it provides real value to our stockholders and resolves the substantial execution and operational risks associated with the separation of our search and display businesses.

Third, your Board takes seriously its obligation to examine all value-creating steps it could take and continues to actively examine many of these now, including a potential spin-off of our Asia assets and a return of cash to stockholders. These are steps Yahoo! could take, if we determine they are feasible and in our stockholders’ best interests, without any “help” from Microsoft or Mr. Icahn. But they are complex steps that require care and prudence. These should not be adopted simply because Mr. Icahn and Microsoft are trying to dress up Microsoft’s inadequate search-only proposal.

While your Board continues to evaluate the foregoing avenues, your current Board and management continue to execute on our strategy to grow the value of our unique collection of assets. That strategy is working and we believe it can result in substantial double digit growth in operating cash flow as we move forward. Our recently executed search advertising agreement with Google reflects our commitment to achieving our strategic goals, while preserving flexibility to pursue a sale of the Company or even, on the right terms, a sale of our search business.

Please compare and contrast the straightforward, responsible actions and positions of your Board of Directors with the behavior of Mr. Icahn and Microsoft.

There you have the situation, as we see it, put as simply and clearly as we can. We believe the Icahn slate and agenda present significant risk to your investment in Yahoo!. We believe you cannot count on Microsoft to bail out Mr. Icahn’s misguided agenda, at least not on terms that are in the best interests of Yahoo! stockholders.

In contrast, your Board remains fully prepared to represent your interests aggressively and conscientiously in the effort to maximize value–whether that takes the form of negotiating a transaction that provides full and fair value, with certainty; finding other ways to unlock and return value to you; or moving forward with our accelerated strategies to lead in online advertising.

Your Board of Directors remains committed to maximizing stockholder value. It is–and will remain–our number one priority. Do not be fooled into thinking otherwise by Carl Icahn.

We strongly urge you to vote your WHITE Proxy Card today for your current Board of Directors.

Thank you for your support.

Roy Bostock Jerry Yang
Chairman of the Board Chief Executive Officer

我正在使用的WordPress插件

blacktulip — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:16:56 +0000

Denis发起这个话题，真是惭愧，我本想一直秉承插件能少就少的原则，谁知今天一数还是启用了14个之多。看看都是哪些吧：

1. 中文WordPress工具箱。这个可能人手一个吧。

2. 鲜果推荐按钮。大家来看的时候顺便点一下哦。

3. Akismet。这东西必不可少，必不可少，过滤垃圾留言用的。

4. All in One SEO Pack。老牌的SEO插件了，虽然有更好的代替品(1, 2)，不过我很懒，就没换。

5. Commentluv。在评论后面显示评论作者的最新blog文章，挺好玩的功能，也有鼓励留言的作用。

6. CopyFeed。在feed输出文章的后面加上一段话，我是加了点版权信息。

7. Google XML Sitemaps。跟3一样是必不可少的，制作一个站点地图给搜索引擎，并随时更新。

8. My Top Commentators。后台统计留言者排名的。

9. No Self Pings。不起眼的插件，但是特别有用，不ping自己的文章，少很多垃圾信息。

10. Share This 中文。17fav在我这里就是有问题，搞不定，没办法，只能用这个。

11. Theme Test Drive。是测试主题用的插件，不过WordPress 2.6有了主题预览功能，这个插件也许快退休了。

12. WordPress Database Backup。备份数据库用的，平时一点用也没有，关键时刻全靠它。

13. WordPress Related Posts。又是Denis写的插件，插入相关文章，无论从SEO还是读者角度都很实用。

14. Wordpress Thread Comment。让评论可以嵌套回复，还可以邮件通知。

以上就是我正在使用的WordPress插件。慢慢再精简些吧…
