最近也有為 Section9 添加內容，而近幾個星期剛剛開始了「每話介紹」這個環節。參考過不同的做法後，就決定寫得仔細一點，現在分為四個部分：本集資料、故事介紹、劇情討論和相關資訊。

Link: an engineering management hack
Engineering Management Hacks: The BigBook Technique is an amusing story of how a group of engineers got their managementto pay attention to Brooks's Law ("Adding manpower to a late softwareproject makes it later"). I won't spoil the punchline; read it yourself.
Around here we don't have problems with Brooks's Law, perhaps becausewe don't have the extra manpower to add to late projects to start with.

A small user interface suggestion
Your button for 'mark all items as read' should not be rightnext to the button for 'advance to next unread item'. Liferea , I'm looking at you .

Absolute versus relative URLs in syndication feeds

In theory absolute URLs are unnecessary in Atom entries, because Atomhas
Safely updating Unix files

庸俗．sentimental．不可穿越
