上星期一(7/16)，是母校銀樂隊的50周年大日子，剛中學畢業的師弟Sunny，居然有辦法隔了幾重山找到了我的聯絡，然後當然想我出席啦，說到底我也是81-82年連續兩屆的銀樂隊隊長，當年都算係中堅份子，雖然我
有今生冇來世
1. 南華早報出了糟糕的報導，連eli都來跟我說。暴民論述的機器已經啟動，近日我大概沒有時間寫blog，大家在各處幫幫忙。一路以來，保衛皇后碼頭的人士，搞過音樂會、文化沙龍、社運夜話、與議員及專業團體諮商，拼命寫
An unexpected performance stress test for DWiki
This morning, I got to see how well DWiki could stand up to high load.While getting attacked by something that has all the signs of a spambotgone berserk doesn't exactly make me happy, I was cheered to see that DWiki stood up to the situation.
(And there's a little bit of me that's dancing around in triumphthat all of the work that I've done to prepare for this finallypaid off and actually worked out for real.)
Over the incident DWiki averaged
遺失電話，兼被電盈擺了一道（連串update）

1. 這集 《鏗鏘集》 （更正：應為《吾土吾情》）我沒有看過（也因為本人在片中顯得肥胖而躊躇甚久），不過網上好評如潮，也有很多人因而到了碼頭。搞了這麼久，「皇后碼頭作為公共空間」的訊息終於能夠向外散

精英受害者
首先我得承認，我從來不是好學生。讀中學的時候，我十分看不起師長們口中的好學生，也許他們也同樣看不起我這種不好不壞的普通人。因此，在成長的階段，我總是在思考，師長口中的好學生是不是代表完美的人？我們的敎
Solaris Volume Manager and iSCSI: a problematic interaction
Solaris Volume Manager (which I still call DiskSuite) keeps informationabout the state of its logical volumes in what it calls a 'metadevicestate database' (a metadb for short). You normally keep a number ofreplicas of this state database, scattered around the physical devicesthat DiskSuite is managing for you.When you are using metasets , all of the metadbreplicas have to be on disks in the metaset. This is a logicalconsequence of the DiskSuite tools needing to update the metadata toreflect which machine owns a

It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible." - Oscar Wilde
這句話，一直銘記於心。

Using iSCSI and AOE to create artificial disk errors
One of the nice things that you can do with iSCSI and AOE is use themto test how your system (volume management, filesystem, programs, etc)really deal with low level disk errors. All sorts of interesting issuescan come crawling out of the woodwork when you do this; it is veryeducational and occasionally rather alarming.
(Testing this sort of thing is otherwise fairly difficult, because fewpeople have controllable error-producing hard drives sitting around,especially hard drives that will repeatedly run fine for a while

月前，深深地覺得不公平、被欺負、委屈、硬食的時候，突然就聽楊千嬅〈小星星〉。斬頭斬尾（誰要「忘記智商去做人」啊，或者反過來正正經經問，誰做人的時候會「記著智商」啊），剩下的副歌仍然邏輯不通、措辭混亂、
An interesting issue when yum upgraded gaim
A while back, the Gaim chat program got renamed to Pidgin forcomplicated reasons. Fedora duly released a pidgin package that saidit replaced the old gaim package, and I duly typed yum update on myx86_64 machine, and things came to a screeching halt with errorsabout file conflicts . It turned out that theupdates repository had both the i386 and the x86_64 versions ofpidgin, and yum was picking the i386 version, which depended on
