Resolve "Box Sync" (online storage) recent issue of crashing (halting) and not syncing on Mac/macbook

My Box (https://www.box.com/) online storage client software stop working on your Mac recently. I found one possible workaround, and I will describe it here. Open "Activity Monitor". Search among "All Processes" for "Box". You will see two process: "Box Sync Engine and "Box Sync".  Stop those two processes by first selecting process and then pressing "Quit Process". Download the latest version of "Box Sync" from Box's web site. (I didn't check whether it is a newer version then what I have on my computer.) Install the latest version of "Box Sync". Provide account information to login and start syncing. Your Box should work correctly after executing the above procedure. I didn't investigate the issue, but I got my Box working by following this procedure. Hope this help!

MarsEdit, Blogo, MacJournal trial

MarsEdit 沒有辦法所見及所得嗎? 感覺好像要在 HTML  中打,怎麼可能啊???? Blogo 可以所見及所得編輯,但 Preview 有特殊格式,看起來是舒服,不過不是直接重現Blog 該有的樣子,而且沒辦法把之前的文章 copy and paste。 MacJournal 也可以所見及所得,但是要 update contents 好像不是很直覺,但是他的確可以 copy and paste, 目前感覺這個最適用。
