 Title: Dao Xiang
Singer: Jay Chou
Lyrics by: Jay Chou
Score by: Jay Chou

对这世界如果你有太多的抱怨
跌倒了就不敢继续往前走
为什么人要这么的脆弱 堕落

If you have too many grievances towards the world
Unable to pick yourself up after falling down
Why must one be so weak and depraved

请你打开电视看看
多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去
我们是不是该知足
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有

Turn on your TV and take a look
How many are fighting courageously to live on
Shouldn't we be contented
(And) cherish everything even if we do not possess it

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让营火虫带着你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

Remember you said home was the only castle
Running along the flowing stream following the paddy fragrance
Smile for I know your childhood dreams
Do not cry; let the fireflies take you away
(You can) always depend on folk songs
Go home, return to the beautiful beginning

不要这么容易就想放弃
就像我说的
追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了
为自己的人生鲜艳上色
先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色

Don't give up so easily
It's just like I said
Change (your) dream if (you) cannot reach it
Add colors to your life
First paint love with (your) favorite color

笑个吧
功成名就不是目的
让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义
童年的纸飞机 现在终于飞回我手里

Smile
Fame and glory is not the goal
True meaning is found in making oneself happy
The paper airplane from childhood is finally back in my hands

所谓的那快乐
赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了
谁在偷笑呢
我靠着稻草人吹着风唱着歌睡着了
哦 哦
午后吉他在虫鸣中更清脆
哦 哦
阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有

The supposed meaning of happiness
Chasing dragonflies barefooted in the fields until (we) are tired
Getting stung by bees while stealing fruit from the trees
Who is smiling now
I lean against the scarecrow, falling asleep in the gentle breeze while singing
Wo wo
The guitar sounds more crisp among the afternoon crickets
Wo wo
Do not be afraid of getting heartbroken if you walk on the sunlit path
Cherish everything even if (you) do not possess it

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让营火虫带着你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

Remember you said home was the only castle
Running along the flowing stream following the paddy fragrance
Smile for I know your childhood dreams
Do not cry; let the fireflies take you away
(You can) always depend on folk songs
Go home, return to the beautiful beginning

First attempt at song translation so the sentences are a little rough and may be inaccurate.

This is one of the songs by Jay Chou which I like as it is very meaningful (the Chinese lyrics are more poetic than my rough English translation can convey). The song is about remembering the simple pleasures in our childhood, cherishing what we have and not giving up,

A timely reminder for the world so torn by strife today.

Exclude directories from chown

There's been times when I needed to recursively change ownership of files in a directory but leave certain files alone (e.g. snapshot folders). Came across a highly useful post from Posteet on how to do it. In my case, I needed to exclude directories owned by root and the .snapshot directory. So # find . -xdev -name .snapshot -or -user root -prune -print | xargs chown < user> :< group>

Flash game: Cargo Bridge

Image
I came across this fun little puzzle game called Cargo Bridge on Kongregate . Most levels are quite do-able (with lots of walkthroughs available if you're stuck). Thus I shall only post solutions for the more difficult levels. Oh, and the game is a little buggy so if solutions which should work keeps failing for some reason, try deleting the offending joint and rebuilding. Or quit to the main menu and restart the level. Level 12: A non-optimal-but-definitely-works solution for those who are stuck. =) Level 16: This level is quite a pain. One of the suggested solutions on the walkthrough actually had an arched bridge which didn't work well for me as the little guy got stuck. I then came across another solution which was flat, but broke too easily. Thus I modified the support structure and hey presto, it worked! Level 18: Probably one of the most difficult levels. Thanks to Tasselfoot for his walkthrough on YouTube for giving birth to this solution. Don't worry if...

Copying Sony recovery partition to new harddisk

For those whose harddisk (HDD) are dying or simply looking to upgrade to a bigger, faster drive, here's how to backup your hidden Sony recovery partition to the new drive. Firstly, plug both disks to a computer. For me, I plugged both disks to my desktop (with my original desktop HDD unplugged to avoid accidentally messing with it). Next, get a Linux live CD. There are a few variations available, most commonly Knoppix and Ubuntu . I'd go with Ubuntu for this example. Boot the live CD run the software Disk Utility in Ubuntu to check that both HDD are detected. Make note of the drive letters for each. For my case, as the original is the master drive, it is detected as sda and the new one is detected as sdb . Create a partition in the new HDD about the same size as the hidden partition (around 10GB). Fire up the Linux terminal and copy the hidden partition over. (Note that your partition number may vary. Use Disk Utility to check for the correct partition numbers.) sudo dd if=/d...
