愛國！超愛國！
嘉賓：葉輝
以前我只是這樣想：若愛國，就多看點書，多知其事——現在看來，這無疑是太內向了。有段時間根本不大管民族主義的問題，更從沒想過中國要成為一個帝國。上網
The costs of doing your own system administration automation
There is a constant tension in system administration between doingthings by hand in the standard way, versus creating your own customsystems to automate the work.
