Philips WP3811 濾水器安裝

每個人都覺得自來水好像不夠乾淨,濾水器成為家庭的必備設施。可是狹小的廚房實在容不下體積龐大的逆滲透設備,只好在賣場上找了個簡易的濾水器。從使用說明書上來看,它適合絕大部份的水龍頭。可是花了兩千多元帶回家之後,它竟不適合我們家的水龍頭啊!!

『退貨』!腦中第一個念頭就是如此。可是我已經拆封了,而且還給人家淋了水。實在有點不好意思,怎麼辦呢?誰叫我們家的水龍頭尺寸與眾不同,再怎樣也不能跟孫中山過意不去。與生俱來的儉樸美德,讓我不得不找個替代方案。

這就是新買的 PHILIPS WP3811濾水器

說明書上的轉接頭

產品附屬的轉接頭


我們家的水龍頭 (難道它是稀貨?)

為了解決這個棘手問題,特定到五金行看了半天,到底有沒有可用的機械頭?
在這麼多的零件中,看起來只有這個轉接頭頗具帝王像,堪擔此重任。其中一個原因就是它只有60大洋,萬一不行的話,內傷不會太重!


60元的「好家貨」


拆了包裝盒的「好家貨」

由於水龍頭的尺寸略大於「好家貨」的口徑,所以利用尖嘴鉗將內層的塑膠環拔出來

拔出的塑膠環與原「好家貨」合影

利用十字起將「好家貨」鎖在水龍頭上

好久沒用的止洩帶

將止洩帶纏一段在轉接頭金屬縲紋上

鎖上原來濾水器所附的轉接頭

再接上濾水器開關

最後接上濾心,真令人感動,沒有漏水喔!

花60元拯救了濾水器,功德一件。雖然看起來多了一截黑色的「好家貨」,但效果還是不錯的啦!

來去 TANET2012

今年的臺灣網際網路研討會(TANET)在銘傳大學桃園校區辦理,去年的研討會在宜蘭大學,兩場我都去「共襄盛舉」。以前去銘傳大學總是像旅行團參訪,一下車就進會議室,出了會議室就上車掰掰,銘傳大學到底長得什麼樣也不是很清楚!今天可以趁著參加研討會的機會,仔細瞧瞧。

登鳶山頂照相

有句俗話:「 不到北京,不知官小;不到上海,不知錢少;不到海南島,不知身體不好」。到了鳶山頂,才發現照相機不好。個人對於旅遊要帶著笨重的單眼相機引以為拙,自己總是拿著小傻瓜到處拍拍,總能自得其樂。可是今天趁著空檔想到平時擠不進去的鳶山拍個照,但天陰陰、毛毛雨,我想再好的相機也沒什麼路用吧!

總之,先到鳶山的光復鐘。從這裡向上走,鳶山頂就在「不遠處」。

走馬看花羅東林業文化園區

實在不曉得這個「羅東林業文化園區」大門在哪裡?條條大路通羅馬,不論從哪裡都可以走進園區。可能是不用收門票,所以誰管它正門在哪裡。園區內有宿舍也有派出所,還有理髮店,看來應該是個開放式社區!

第一次走進蘭陽博物館

蘭陽博物館就在台2縣,濱海公路邊,烏石港的旁邊。特殊的外觀,只要經過就會被它特殊的造型所吸引。從蔣渭水高速公路 (就是北宜高啦)頭城交流道下,十分鐘就可以抵達。

JPG 轉 PDF 檔

在處理許多文書業務,常常需要將檔案轉成PDF檔,再來排列組合。網路上有許多提供類似功能的軟體,但針對圖檔轉成pdf檔,還是 JPEGtoPDF 最好用。


首先上網到 http://www.compulsivecode.com/

CompulsiveCode 首頁

將畫面往下捲到大約一半的位置

JPEGtoPDF 專案的位置

在還沒點選《JPEGtoPDF》之間,稍微看一下它的簡介,它不僅可以將JPG圖檔,還有 BMP, GIF, PNG, TIF, WMF, EMF 等常見的圖檔轉換成PDF檔呢!

現在可以用力點選《JPEGtoPDF》...

JPEGtoPDF 下載頁面

看到以上畫面,應該不用多說,就按那個大大的箭頭,給它下載回家。
下載的檔名叫 JPEGtoPDF.zip,就是一個壓縮檔。解壓縮過程就不多說了,大家都會。解壓縮後,也只有一個執行檔叫 JPEGtoPDF.exe。這也是為什麼喜歡這個軟體的原因:只要一個檔就好了,免安裝,也不用像白痴一樣一直按《下一步》!

現在就來用用看,點選這個唯一的執行檔 JPEGtoPDF.exe

JPEGtoPDF 的執行畫面

解釋一下設定畫面:
1. 尺寸單位:
           有英吋(inches), 公分(cm) 和 毫米(mm)。

2. 輸出檔案型態:
          一個圖檔就是一個pdf檔,就選《Multiple PDF Files》; 如果是很多圖檔放在同一個PDF檔,就選《Single PDF File named:》,後面就是檔名,預設的檔名叫 PDF_Output.PDF

3. 頁面尺寸設定:
        如果頁面隨著圖片大小(含邊界)變動,就選《Match Image Size + Margins》;如果要指定頁面尺寸,就選《Specify Page Size》,而且要填上頁面的寬與高。A4的大小就是 21.0 x 29.7 (cm)。

4. 如果指定頁面大小,就要選擇是否要將過大圖片縮小至符合頁面(Shrink Over-sized Images to Page Area),及是否要放大小圖片以符合頁面大小(Enlarge Small Images to Page Area)。

5.邊界尺寸:這容易懂,不用解釋。

6.圖片位置:置中(Centered)或放在左上角(Top-Left Corner)

將設定值填完後,現在就來試試看作一遍。

按《Add Files》來增加擬轉換的圖檔檔名

加入三個圖檔

利用 《Move Sel Up》及《Move Sel Down》來上下調整檔案順序,也可以用《Remove Selected》來刪除圖檔;最後確定一下輸出的路徑及檔名。

最後一步《Save PDF》

做完了,不到一秒鐘!

這時候在指定的路徑中,產生了一個pdf檔 (檔名應該是 PDF_Output.PDF),把它開啟,就知道輸出果了。

三個圖檔同在一個PDF檔內

現在作一個改變,點選輸出選項中的《Multiple PDF Files》

選取《Multiple PDF Files》

選取《Multiple PDF Files》之後,再按《Save PDF》。將三個圖檔個別轉換成三個pdf檔,檔名就是原來的圖檔檔名再加上 .pdf 。

個別的圖檔轉換成個別的pdf檔

這個軟體檔案只有一個,而大小只有236kb,實在太方便了,大家可以試試看吧!

指南國小步道

指南國小是許多登山步道的交會點,也是步道的終點及起點。今天要介紹的是「指南國小步道」,從指南國小到六角涼亭,可繼續延伸至樟山寺,連結「指南茶路親山步道」。「指南茶路親山步道」的網誌已有詳盡介紹,網址是:http://chu246.blogspot.tw/2012/10/blog-post_10.html


指南國小大門

指南茶路親山步道

臺北市木柵貓空一帶有許多登山步道,對當地人來說,這些步道就是平時散心、運動的好地方。對於外地人而言,如果沒有特別解說,實在很難按圖索驥,找到這些登山出入口。我們就從最容易的「指南茶路親山步道」開始說起。
