Journal – 18/12/2015 – WordPress Updating – WP升级

(English version follows Chinese Part)

近一个月时间虚拟主机的访问实在慢的不行,一点写文章的情绪都没有,这周好一些,WP也升级到了4.4版本。接下来就继续更新网站内容吧。

The connection to virtual host has been unstable for recent month, so I was in no mood for writing articles. WordPress updated into version 4.4 days ago and server access has been reinstated. Let me start to update my site again.

08/11/2015 – Commuter Bike Upgrading – 通勤自行车升级维护

(English version follows Chinese Part)

我的通勤自行车车是2007年买的普利司通27寸三挡变速车,至今使用已逾8年,初高中日日往返于家和学校间,里程不胜计数。大学期间在外地读书,车便久置,回家后无需专门恢复调校,车胎打足气便可继续上路,车况良好。

My commuter bike is a Bridgestone 27″ 3-gear-bike bought in 2007 for daily transportation during secondary school years. It is still function well today after 8 years and countless miles working. What’s more, when I went to university far from hometown, the bike left unused for years can still do its duty after aerating without rust or repairing.

唯独两个地方需要维护升级。一是支撑车的脚撑,年久生锈,折弯部应力集中而破坏,27寸自行车又体型高大,停车时总是重心不稳,自行车不时发生倒伏。二是变速线损坏,档位只能固定在最高速档,骑行起来实在有些费力与不变,尤其是起步时。这两个问题是高中毕业时出现的,当时考虑到马上离乡读书,车不常用,遂未考虑将之解决。如今终于下定决心,又拜神奇的X宝能够买到合适的配件,给通勤车恢复最佳车况。

But it also getting old. Two things have to be fixed. Firstly, the bike stand crash because of rust and stress concentration, and the 27″ bike frame has high center of gravity that will make it worse. Then, the shift cables lost part of it which is indispensable for gear changing. 

These problems were not fatal so I ignored them for years. Thanks to extremely rich kinds of  merchandise sold in Chinese web shops, I searched out the exact type of  spare parts fix my bike, and I made the decision to upgrade her.


首先是更换脚撑。原配的脚撑是单边式,在损坏前还勉强支撑27寸大车不倒,如今在冲压件折弯处开裂,实在无法堪用。考虑到一劳永逸地解决泊车不稳的问题,网购了双梯式脚撑,这样架起车来便稳稳当当。图1便是换下的脚撑和泊车状态的双梯脚撑。

Waiting the spare part of gear-change, I replaced the bike stand at the first time. The original one was prop stand that is too weak for supporting 27″ bike, I bought a double kickstand instead. Retired stand and the new one shown in Fig.1.

第二个问题是变速器控制线损坏导致无法变速的问题。

The gear-change problem was solved the other day.

先解释下禧玛诺NEXUS变速器(维基百科链接)外部控制的原理。图2是外观,图3是原理图。如图3(a)是变速控制线释放状态,变速杆伸出,档位是1档,速度最慢。当手拨调高档位至2或3档到高速档时,控制线绷紧,杠杆将变速杆压入轴内,改变内变速传动比。注意图3中的钢珠,那个是控制线拉动杠杆的施力件,我的自行车的控制线钢珠脱落了,所以没法拉动杠杆变速。

It is SHIMANO NEXUS 3-speed-change system (Wikipedia Link) . You can see what’s it like in Fig.2 and how it woks in Fig.3. When control cable release at Gear-1 (Low), the pin was released, too (Fig.3(a)). After you turn the shift lever set by right hand, the cable tension and the pin is pressed into gear-box by pry bar that will change the gear ratio at Gear-2 or Gear-3 (High), as you can see from Fig.3(b).

坏掉的控制线末端如图4。

由于钢珠是直接包紧控制线末端的,我的工具条件没法自制维修。原打算是在钢丝末端打一个结来替代钢珠的作用,但是发现钢丝弹性太大,没法成型。所以只好更换整条控制线。如图5,网购的控制线到货了,左侧是变速器端,右侧是手拨端。

The iron ball was attach to the wire rigid that I can not fix by tools I have, and the plan that tight knot was failed. Then I have to replace the hole control cable. Luckily I found it in web shop. Look at the Fig.5, the left side iss the end at gear-box side and the right one should be attached to controller at the handle-bar.

换好后的样子如图6(变速器端)和图7(手拨端)。

That is the appearance of gear-box side (Fig.6) and the hand-controller (Fig.7).

Tips – 21/10/2015 – Deepskystacker – DSS使用上的一点贴士

(English version follows Chinese Part)

初期对天文摄影叠加软件DSS的尝试最后保存出来的图像大多失去了过多色彩细节,致使星体和背景基本上只有灰度图像。后来发现是导出保存时的设置问题。

Some practice of DSS processing at first time are not satisfied. All of them lost color detail, and appear as grayscale image. Finally I know why. Just setting problems when I output and save pic files.

在保存时要选择”Embed adjustment in the saved image but do not apply them”(如图1),这样在保存的时候就不会使用DSS自带的图像调整(色彩、曲线等)输出,造成细节丢失,这些参数留到更专业的Adobe PS和LR中再调整会取得更好效果。

Remember selecting”Embed adjustment in the saved image but do not apply them”when you saving the .TIF image (As Fig.1). So that the auto settings (color, curve etc.) of DSS will not apply. Just set them by Adobe PS or LR which are much more professional.

Scale Model – 03/10/2015 – Mr Bean 25 Years – 憨豆25周年

(English version follows Chinese Part)

20151003-MINICOOPER-cover


很早之前就购入了田宫24039 (MINI Cooper 1275S) 套件,一直挤压箱底,最近看到一条“新闻”,今年适逢憨豆开播25周年,憨豆剧中经典道具之一——MINI Cooper 1971与套件非常接近,所以决定把这盒模型给完成,并做成憨豆剧中道具的样子,向童年的欢笑——憨豆先生以及罗温·艾金森致敬。

I purchased a box of TAMIYA 24039 (MINI Cooper 1275S) scale model for quite long ago, and forgot to finish it. Recently a ‘news’ of 25th ceremony of Mr Bean remained me. So I decided to transform the model into Bean’s car (MINI Cooper 1971) shape,show my respect to my childhood happiness, Mr Bean & Mr Rowan Atkinson.

图9至图11.憨豆是因为车里装满了购物品才不得不坐到了车顶,所以得给车里弄点东西,我就用A4纸自己印了些箱子

田宫的套间里只有这些东西,所以一些憨豆的东西就得自己做了。

All parts inside the box of TAMIYA 24039 have run out, those Mr Bean features must be DIY.

18/09/2015 – Library Construction – 图书馆搭建记录

(English version follows Chinese Part)

之前已经利用WP-dTree插件,将分类目录变成树状,实现了图书索引的功能,本次工作是往分类目录里录入图书分类法。

使用的是国际十进制图书分类法(UDC),直接使用官网(戳这)的树结构,恰巧其包含了多种语言,尤其是英文和中文。所以主要工作差不多就是复制粘贴了。

另外在图书馆的侧边栏添加了UDC和中图分类法(CLC)的官网链接,方便查询完整结构。


 

In past work, plugin WP-dTree has been used to implement library index functions replacing Categories. This time, the task is input the library classification.

I chose the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) instead of Chinese Library Classification (CLC), so I copy the same classification tree-structure from the office website of UDC (Link). Luckily, they have varieties of language versions including Chinese and English. Just do it.

Adding office website links of UDC and CLC(Link) to the sidebar so that visitors can search for complete library classification structure.
