Sharing

Skipped a renal bedside teaching in Nethersole Hospital today, just to go back my high school for a sharing session in the morning assembly. Yeh, the opportunistic cost is high (it might be the one and only one bedside teaching on the beloved kidneys in the year...), but there is no regret speaking for the school that have developed and moulded the present James Chow.

The assigned topic is Challenges faced by a university student. This is exactly the kind of topic that stuporizes me when I was young

「艷遇」

我從來未有過所謂艷遇,除非以下所述的那次令我渾身不自然的經驗也算是。

那是十多年前的事了,當時我還是 Berkeley 的研究生,有一次和朋友晚上到三藩市的一間 jazz club 聽音樂,當晚表演的是當地一個頗有名氣的爵士女歌手,所以幾

Always remember that people make mistakes

One very important thing to remember when trying to design practicalsecurity systems is that people make mistakes . Always. Even underthe best of circumstances and the best of intentions, sooner or latersomeone will do accidentally do something wrong.

If your security system breaks explosively when people makes mistakes,your system is wrong in practice.

消信

當你見到所謂宗教書室,有一半位置都在售賣十字架頸鏈、耳環和擺設,你就知道沒有東西是不能消費的。

上個世紀已經有人投訴過,聖誕節變成了消費大節慶,連任天堂、微軟和sony都趕在聖誕前夕發新貨,加上電影的聖誕檔期

失去了什麼?

以下的真人真事令我明白現在的青少年失去了什麼。

眼前這位小朋友還在唸大學,他因為文學的事與我見面,但他反覆在談的卻是他的兼職生活:老闆對他不好,同事很不濟,客人很麻煩之類。我說既然工作不開心,何不專心讀

Drupal.org approaching 1,000,000 nids!

I noticed a few months ago that we hit the mid-950,000 range for posts... since then, I've forgotten to mark down the numbers through time (I wanted to try plotting the exact day when we'd cross over to 1,000,000 posts).

Today (December 14), we were at node #998,346 (obviously, some nodes have been deleted, and database causes notwithstanding.

網癮

朋友阿強( 假名,像黃子華棟篤笑時常提及的阿強,不必深究)換了部智能手機,join 了個無限上網plan,便開始染上網癮,尤其是facebook癮,朋友聚會時,總見他不時用手指在手機面掃


韓Phone、七Phone、Windows Phone

因為Microsoft是公司的客戶,數個月前,我們的Technical Team同事早已有一部HTC的Windows Phone 7(以下簡稱WP7)在手進行測試,當時的初步感覺,對於其多點觸控的順暢程度,好得實在令我有點喜出望外。

身邊的口痕友同事K便說,好了好了,Microsoft今
