Dear kDolphin,

Here’s how the Wikipedia fundraiser works: Every year we raise just the funds that we need, and then we stop.

Because you and so many other Wikipedia readers donated over the past weeks, we are very close to raising our goal for this year by December 31 — but we’re not quite there yet.

You’ve already done your part this year. Thank you so much. But you can help us again by forwarding this email to a friend who you know relies on Wikipedia and asking that person to help us reach our goal today by clicking here and making a donation.

If everyone reading this email forwarded it to just one friend, we think that would be enough to let us end the fundraiser today.

Of course, we wouldn’t turn you down if you wanted to make a second donation..

Google might have close to a million servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 95 staff.

Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 470 million different people every month – with billions of page views.

Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn’t belong here. Not in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others.

When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising, but I decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.

Thanks again for your support this year. Please help spread the word by forwarding this email to someone you know.

Thanks,
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia Founder

　　我的照片是用Aperture管理的，之前很长时间我是用LightRoom，但是App Store上线后的Aperture特价让我再次尝试这个产品并且留下了它。
　　先花点文字来介绍一下Aperture的存储机制。Aperture把一张照片的源文件称为Master，当导入照片的时候有两种选择：1. 源文件导入到Aperture Library 2. 源文件存放在Aperture Library以外的位置。不管源文件存放在何处，Aperture都会把生成的Preview存放在Aperture Library中。Preview图就是在Aperture中实际操作时所看到的图，一般是原图的50%宽度，只有当输出照片时才会用到源文件。所以我是把源文件存储在NAS上，而MacBook本地只存放Aperture Library，这样即使在外面我也可以对原有照片进行操作修改，只有当输出的时候才需要连上NAS。
　　这次我更换SSD的时候重新安装了系统，Aperture Library是直接提取了备份来用，但是当我用iTunes同步照片的时候却出现如下错误：

理论上在Apeture里确保这个选项打开就可以共享给iTunes：

不过实际上在我这里是没用的。网上搜了下好几个人碰到类似的问题，汇总下来最简单的方法如下：
　　创建一个新的Library，随便取什么名字（最后会删除的）。


一般来说默认只有一个Aperture Library.aplibrary，test.aplibrary是我刚创建的，至于下面那个没版本号的是与iMovie共享用的不用去管它。
　　然后所要做的就是切换到test库、退出，然后再切换回来，如果成功的话，退出的时候会看到Aperture在更新共享资料库的提示，最后删除test库就行了。
