When screen lock: M(enu)-B(ack)-B-M-B-M-M-B

X10 入手已經兩個禮拜了. 在 iPhone 和 Android 兩邊遊走的這段時間, 是有些不太一樣的心得… (Click here to read the rest of this entry)

The topic is because it’s still a kind of protection, but for outlook/keyboard/screen instead of system/data.

There’s no silicon case for VAIO P till now, even there’s one, it might not be good for VAIO P because it’s not good for heat elimination. I bought a screen+case protection pack, and a anti-dust cover for keyboard case protection stick is just like Cutting Sheet (卡典西德), and I’m not good to do such kind of job, yes my VAIO has better protection, but becomes a little bit ugly…

Maybe it will be better if I pay for some professional to do this, or I should stick some freaky logo on the cute VAIO P just like my previous laptops…

There’re 2 special keys on P15, one is InstantOn, the other (Tail Button) is to tile windows vertically. Of course it cannot work under Windows XP… (somebody said InstantOn works well on XP, I cannot make it)

Originally, Vertical Tile can be found on the Windows Start Menu by pressing Right Mouse Button -> Vertical Tile. If you insist to do this by some other programs, there’re 2 similar solutions for windows arrangement.

1. AcerGrid: Acer made for its notebook for free, and no limitation to use in other brand. Since it’s really old, official download webpages are all dead…
2. WindowSpace: it’s not free, but you can control by shortcut keys.

Now, all of my VAIO P15 functions are working well under Windoz XP becides InstantOn (somebody said there’re G-sensors in P15?). However, for a 26sec bootup limitation OS and a less than 40sec bootup full function Windoz XP, what will you like? (For me, I’ll try to install Linux by myself)

— 以下是中文 —

$ony VAIO P15 有兩個特殊鍵, 一是 InstantOn, 另一個是並排視窗用的. 這兩個鍵在 Windows XP 底下是不會 work 的. (有人在 XP 底下成功起動 InstantOn, 那個人不是我 orz)

並排視窗功能, 其實是 Windows XP 內建的功能, 只要在開始功能表上頭按滑鼠右鍵, 選『垂直並排』就可以用了. 可是如果能有更快速的做法, 當然更好不過. 其實有兩個還不錯的軟體可以幫上忙.

1. AcerGrid: 原本是 Acer 出給他自己的 NB 用的, 不過在別家的機器上也能 work, 原廠 url 都斷了, 所以請 google 一下碰碰運氣吧…
2. WindowSpace: 這個是要 $ 的, 但是可以用快速鍵直接控制. (反正調螢幕亮度已經不能用 Fn keys 了, 那就將就一點吧)

所以, 現在我的 $ony VAIO P15, 除了 InstantOn 之外的所有功能, 都等於已經解除封印了 (聽說還有 G sensor 回頭再來試試). 倒是 InstantOn, 老實說, 一個開機要 26sec, 功能有限的 OS, 和一個開機不到 40sec 的全功能 OS, 你會選哪個? (倒是我還是會想辦法把 Linux 裝起來就是…)

This is my 1st time to use iPhone to write blog… (of course with post-processing on desktop) (Click here to read the rest of this entry)

After a month waiting, I got my new $ony VAIO P15/Q (why Q means black?) last night, finally… (Sorry no picture right now)

Actually, I’v already evaluated this stuff during Chinese new years vacation in $ony $tore, and found keyboard/screen size is ok for me. Its size/weight is much better than my previous machines (Asus S200N, Kohjinsha, EeePC which stayed in Fiji, …)

My next step is, to install Windows XP on it. It’s really strange NO related downgrade info on the net in English for a long while, but somebody in Japan already made it in January!

So, black iPhone, black VAIO, what will be my next black gadget? :)

過了個好長的年… 昨天上工之後, 還是一團混亂… (Click here to read the rest of this entry)

花了不少力氣, JB 又在回復了好幾次, 到現在還是有些小問題… (Click here to read the rest of this entry)

沒辦法啊… 真的不是因為有錢想敗家… (Click here to read the rest of this entry)

因應(貴到要死的)健康捐, 所以這一個的 topic 拿張雨生的歌當 base 來改… 發生的事情其實很簡單, 這幾天在中東出差, 我的愛豐山雞遺失了… (Click here to read the rest of this entry)
