看到 這篇文章 介紹如何將 Google Personalized Homepage 加入到 Firefox 的 Sidebar 上，看來蠻實用的。我自己不常用 Personalized Homepage，只有一些測試用的玩意兒，而且很久沒有碰過了。進入 https://www.google.com/ig ，按新增內容，卻只見到這些：
甚麼都沒有得加？多番嘗試之
Link: 'Document Centric'
Document Centric isabout the disconnect between relational databases and regular users, andwhy people keep stuffing data into spreadsheets and the like instead of'real' databases.
(They do. Joel Spolsky has written about the Excel team's surpriseat finding this out about how real users used Excel.)

Using Python to test system behavior
One of the things I like about the Python interpreter is thatit is just about right for doing little system behavior tests,like how various systems handled a TCP port binding issue . This is because Python islow level enough to be relatively close to the actual system, so you canbe pretty sure that what you're seeing isn't Python-specific behavior,while at the same time being high level enough that you can do the testsin a couple of lines.
Strictly speaking you don't need
A sysadmin habit: screen locking
Years and years ago, I bound a function key in my window manager tostart xlock and then carefully trained myself to hit F10 (theaforementioned function key) the moment I got up from my chair toleave my cubicle-office. It didn't matter how trivial the errand or howshort it would be; I'd hit F10 and locked the screen. By now I havethis habit so ingrained that it's become one of my little twitches .

購物小劇場
一起床（1800左右）就盤算著去看《hidden》，當然又是神志不清地。傻了一頓上網一看，1920油麻地有一場，忙忙穿得貴婦一樣落車搭的士。 去到，票務小姐說，今天沒有七點場。撞牆。決定去購物平衡心理。沒錢沒地方
Why you can't mix wildcard IP port binding with other bindings
A while back I wrote, about TCP portbinding:
Unfortunately, you can't bind a port to the generic wildcard addressif anyone is using the port on a specific IP address, hence the Apacherestart problem. (Why this port binding limitation is a sensibleis beyond the scope of this margin, but it is, however annoying itperiodically is.)
Today I feel like explaining why. The core problem is deciding whogets handed a new connection (or for UDP, a new packet); if
街霸回顧 (一)：緣起
我是看《街頭霸王》大的。
當年 CAPCOM 遊戲《Street Fighter 2》(SF2)越來越熱，記憶中我第一次接觸 SF2 是在《兒童周刊》的一篇連載漫畫(名字忘了)，故事是兩個小孩打機高手合作打比賽之類，而當中的遊戲正正是SF2，加上當時的

嘉賓： 袁兆昌
（節目中播了三首好歌，估下我地聽緊個陣係咩樣？）
本來打算請袁兆昌來賣青春，誰知他一開口就是操控、同性戀，黑色到不得了，袁兆昌真係，一世都估唔到。

Thesis: SMP is a failure for most Internet servers
I used to be a big proponent of getting SMP PClone servers instead ofuniprocessor ones. Nowadays, though, I'm not so sure, and I now activelytilt towards UP machines.
The advantage of SMP over UP is more CPU capacity and to someextent larger caches (if the OS scheduling works out right). ButInternet-facing servers are rarely hurting for more CPU; often youreally want more IO and maybe more memory.
(This assumes that the server is not grotesquely overconfigured to startwith,
