In praise of installing from Live CDs

I've recently had the experience of installing Ubuntu from one of their live CDs, and I now have tosay that this is a genius idea that should be widely imitated, and assoon as possible.

For me, the genius of a live CD installation is three-fold, and is onlytruly compelling when the machine has a network connection:

  • I can Google around to figure out what I want to do next, understandany peculiar questions the installer is asking me, and so on.
  • if anything goes

寫左blog大半年
不停在此跟新知舊雨討論問題
又有人話好多人來此潛水
今日想了解來這裡的朋友究竟是什麼人
你都知我在報紙上寫緊關於網絡言論的系列文章
想拋個身出嚟了解一下情況
平時好多人口輕輕話支持我
無論認識與否

斷章記

替別人打了一篇關於疾病的文章,整晚處於濃烈的死亡的氣氛當中。




陳某替我物色的cds,和周某偶然寄來的〈rock 'n' roll sucide 〉、〈rue the whirl〉(有錯請諒)都曾讓我的兩肩輕微放鬆過。但後來還是發現伍佰的《雙面人》真的能讓我

One serial problem I should remember

I hate RS-232 serial connections, because something always goes wrongwhenever I have to deal with them and then I have to figure out howto make the things work. Needless to say, there are next to no commondiagnostic tools for troubleshooting serial communication problems.

In this case the problem was a mysterious inability to type anythingto the remote device when I could receive the remote device's outputfine. For my future reference, this can be caused by having hardwareflow control on when the remote

送上一首歌John Lennon - Love
給在不同位置不同環境不同心情不同狀態的妳(反戰份子)。在反戰的同時請不要忘記,仍在製造貧窮創造富國的「世貿」炮手,他向我們每處發炮。我們不會留下一絲血,就連被征服了也不感覺到。


LOVE- John

孔方走了之後

今日對信報的讀者來說一定別有感慨
該報兩個專欄同時告別
引來不少猜測

我自中學開始讀信報
學了不少東西
絕對投入了感情
希望報紙如果賣盤也不會大變
但這是不是太天真呢

孔少林和方卓如其實寫了不足兩年
卻在短時間內成為該

The limitations of Unix atime

Recently, I've come to believe that Unix's file (okay, inode) accesstime is increasingly useless. The problem isn't that Unix is slipshodabout maintaining atime ; the problem is that there are now anincreasing number of things that read files as a routine matter, and sofile atime is increasingly nothing more than the last time one of themran.

The most obvious example is any backup program that works through thefilesystem, which most of them do (especially the commercial ones).
