28年後又一條好TRON

80年代初,如果當是你已經懂事又有接觸過電腦的話,你還記得當是用的什麼電腦嗎?

印象中,我的有錢仔同學家中已有正版的Atari或Apple,我第一次接觸的,應該是黃金電腦場砌機的老翻Apple II,還要是人家不要掉給我的舊機。是

十二月頭 衝業績

唉,一連三天,九點到九點的馬拉松會議,確了百億大計,這計劃確有百億之實,但要完善盡美,到達目標,不付出萬二分的努力是不可能的。

愛克發的apx 400,呵,限定裝,賣了一盒回來,一定要好好玩一下。夥粒感強,增

The Cove - blood, dolphins and human



It took me quite some time managing to get a ticket for this documentary. I agree, films are put on screen largely based on economical concern - box office driven; but it doesn't make sense to me when this Winner of Oscar Documetary is only played in two and only two cinemas over the entire city - and sad enough - two shows per day in each.

Richard O'Barry was a previous worldclass dolphin trainer specialising in captivity, and probably you have seen him - if you are old enough -

APS-C微單新世紀—Samsung NX100試用報告(二)/灣仔夜攝

試用了這部 Samsung NX100 差不多兩個星期了,還在適應如何使用她的手動功能。

老實說,雖然i-Function鍵操作介面尚算容易,但此機的感光和對焦特性,卻並非如我想像般容易適應,如果用自動測光的話,在室內拍攝,白平衡更時有

Avalon Organics

在飛往倫敦前的一天,早上,當然,仍在睡覺,忽然門鐘狂響,是速遞!送來一個瓦通紙盒。

心裡除了因被吵醒而講粗口,還在想,沒理由是追求者送來的吧,他知我住在哪棟大廈,但可不知是幾樓幾室的… …

鬼佬問對聯

早兩天跟一個同事談起到中國旅遊,他說留意到中國的廟宇在門前左右都有兩行字,想知道那大多是說些甚麼的,和為何只是兩行。我說那兩行字的內容不一定,但一般是講點道理或描寫當地景色;至於為何只是兩行,我便要向

A log message format mistake that I've made

As an illustrated example of how not to do log messages, here is amistake of mine that I recently had my nose rubbed in. Suppose that youhave a service that authenticates requests in various ways; sometimesthe request has enough information to grant approval right away, butother times you need to do a callback of some sort.

Happy Birthday Jasmine

On the same afternoon in 2009, I was reading What to Expect the First Year , eager to set the stage for Jasmine's arrival. One year later, I brought Jasmine to her first preschool playing class today, carrying with me the special TimeFrames issue. That's an issue devoted to looking back at the stories of the past decade (and what it might presage about the future).

After taking a quick look at the Time magazine's content, I began to realize that quite
