看到 Yahoo!奇摩輸入法 這個東東跑出來了
竟然也有 for Mac 版的

不過，說穿了，就是改了 Logo 跟字樣的 OpenVanilla
用起來幾乎都差不多…

Fedora 9 推出了
說真的，現在的我，覺得這些 Linux Distrobutions 實在推出的太快了 (約每半年就出一版)
我家裡的 Server 現在還在用 FC6，公司的 Server 有些還是 SL4 FC6 的
我所有的 Linux 也只有一台是裝成 Fedora 7
連 Fedora 8 都還沒試過，現在 Fedora 9 都已經出來了…….XD

我大概不會跟著走，除非 Server 掛點，不然也不會想去動它…(動了以後可能會遇到更多的問題)

夠用就好，我想 RHEL 應該比較適合拿來當 Server，週期至少都是 3 年以上
不用一天到晚在那升級版本…@@

目前手上沒有機器可以讓我裝 Fedora 9，等哪天吃飽太閒了再說吧

Aperture 2.1 updates various features of the application and addresses issues related to performance and overall stability. The updates include the following:

Adobe Photoshop Express 測試版正式上線供人試用了
所以，馬上去申請來用用看
一整個 Lightroom 風格 (有用過 Lightroom 的人一看就知道)
雖然目前有很多功能都還不完整
不過，基本的編輯及網路相簿功能還是有的

我原本是想測試一下上傳 RAW 檔的，不過，不支援 (想也知道)
不知道何時才會有支援 RAW 的服務出現
2G 的使用空間，說多不多，說少也不算少，就加減用吧…
