Here is how to install node and npm in ubuntu. The ~/local directory is to store all of your user-level packages, btw. mkdir -p ~/local mkdir -p ~/node-latest-install cd ~/node-latest-install curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1 ./configure --prefix=~/local # if SSL support is not required, use --without-ssl make install cd .. rm -rf ~/node-latest-install Then in your ~/.bashrc file, append the following line. export PATH=$PATH:'~/local/bin/' Then source your new .bashrc by source ~/.bashrc ...

Very inspirational. I should probably do something like this sooner or later. The only other thing to consider is that quite frankly, time is running out. The older you get, the more baggage you’ll get tied down with, and the harder it is to do something like this. You should be optimizing for experience in your life, rather than money. http://blog.alexmaccaw.com/how-to-travel-around-the-world-for-a-year/

If you got some weird errors from Reachability.m (my xcode is in version 4.6.3), something like the following: Then just update your reachability files with the new ones. Also, Select your project -> target -> Build Phases -> Compile Sources -> Double click the Reachability.m -> add the flag -fno-objc-arc.

Sometimes we see these codes on water bottles or coffee lids, but what do they mean like for recycle or reuse or something? It turns out they are trying to tell you what kind of plastic it is.

[youtube &w=640&h=480] 人生福禍無常，誰也不知可以活多久，有些事情還是早一點說好。 我是你的父親，我不跟你說，沒有人會跟你說 這備忘錄記載的，都是我經過慘痛失敗得回來的體驗，可以為你的成長省回不少冤枉路。 以下，便是你在人生中要好好記住的事： （一）對你不好的人，你不要太介懷，在你一生中，沒有人有義務要對你好，除了我和你媽媽。 至於那些對你好的人，你除了要珍惜、感恩外，也請多防備一點，因為，每個人做每件事，總有一個原因，他對你好，未必真的是因為喜歡你，請你必須搞清楚，而不必太快將對方看作真朋友。 （二）沒有人是不可代替，沒有東西是必須擁有。 看透了這一點，將來你身邊的人不再要你，或許失去了世間上最愛的一切時，也應該明白，這並不是什麼大不了的事。 （三）生命是短暫的，今日你還在浪費著生命，明日會發覺生命已遠離你了。 因此，愈早珍惜生命，你享受生命的日子也愈多，與其盼望長壽，倒不如早點享受。 （四）世界上並沒有最愛這回事，愛情只是一種霎時的感覺，而這感覺絕對會隨時日、心境而改變。 如果你的所謂最愛離開你，請耐心地等候一下，讓時日慢慢沖洗，讓心靈慢慢沉澱，你的苦就會慢慢淡化。不要過分憧憬愛情的美，不要過分誇大失戀的悲。 （五）雖然很多有成就的人士都沒有受過很多教育，但並不等於不用功讀書，就一定可以成功。 你學到的知識，就是你擁有的武器，人，可以白手興家，但不可以手無寸鐵，謹記！ （六）我不會要求你供養我下半輩子，同樣地我也不會供養你的下半輩子，當你長大到可以獨立的時候，我的責任已經完結。 以後，你要坐巴士還是 Benz （賓士），吃魚翅還是粉絲，都要自己負責。 （七）你可以要求自己守信，但不能要求別人守信，你可以要求自己對人好，但不能期待人家對你好。 你怎樣對人，並不代表人家就會怎樣對你，如果看不透這一點，你只會徒添不必要的煩惱。 （八）我買了十多二十年彩卷，還是一窮二白，連三獎也沒有中，這證明 人要發達，還是要努力工作才可以，世界上並沒有免費午餐。 （九） 親人只有一次的緣分 ，無論這輩子我和你會相處多久，也請好好珍惜共聚的時光，下輩子，無論愛與不愛，都不會再見 。

Here is how to install the pre-release version of ios7. Download the ios 7 image at https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action#. Make sure you pick the right one for your iphone model.
