Review: Phottix MB-D80 (D80/D90 Battery Grip)

Jeff's Rating: 4 /5

希望可以回覆事發三日內寫文回應的狀態

刊於今日星期日明報,周五晚間寫的。死擠進去,結果出唔晒。寫到六點幾,結果臨尾把「區議會方案」寫成了「民主黨方案」,喵…………無論如何,如果能恢復以前的衝勁和爆發力(至少七成啦),我想我的朋友也還是會替

How my mail notifier avoids interrupting me

For years, I've used a program called xlbiff to handle notifying me about newmail, and I have it set to check quite frequently. On the surface, thisought to be a really disruptive thing; new mail notification is widelyheld to be one of the best ways to yank your attention away from whatyou're currently doing. But in practice xlbiff doesn't act this wayfor me; it's far less interrupting than it sounds while still lettingme deal very rapidly with important things


好勝難勝

有個朋友的兒子,自小即極之好勝,凡是有競爭性質的活動,他都非勝不可。記得有一次,是四、五年前了,他那時只有大約五歲,和我的兒子玩一個積木遊戲,是先把很多塊大小相同的積木疊高成一直立長方體,然後輪流把積

馬來西亞回來…

今天去馬來西亞出差,神奇地發現國泰整架飛機都是空中少爺走來忙去。 就是嘛,男人做太監做了幾千年,皇帝明知太監會誤國都要用。就知道男人服待的好處。所以男人要加油,把空姐的所有職位搶過來,讓她們失業,揚我雄


別纏住我的裙腳!

記得徐志摩,因為林徽因。

要是你問我,hey Daisy,究竟「詩人」實際上是幹什麼的?Honestly,I don't know。我只能答你,詩人是寫詩的。Well,okay,我知這個答案有點反智,但對於「詩人」,我實在已盡了最大的努力。徐詩人鼎鼎有名,

壓力? What's that ?

早上醒來,看看天空,灰濛濛快要下雨似的,今次發達了,終於可以穿那件新買的Burberry Brit trench coat!Well of course,不下雨也可以穿trench coat,但我Daisy穿衣,向來喜歡配合「劇情」。Burberry的trench coat,不是讓你在旺角穿的,而是在細雨濛濛的倫敦穿的,

Don't make your 'I am processing' animation too complex

This is a lesson from long ago, one that I learned from the veryfirst Amiga word processor. This word processor's mouse busy-cursoranimation was of a bird leisurely flapping its wings; because theoriginal Amiga was kind of slow, people wound up seeing this animationfairly often. Several years after the Amiga was released, I wound uptalking to one of the people who had designed this (she was my HCI teacher) and she asked me whether us actual Amiga users had liked thebusy cursor;


民主辯論

這場 TED 談的是辯論技巧,若套入阿里士多德的框架,在討論公平一事上,必先討論該事物的:

  1. 本質 (essential nature)
  2. 我們所尊敬、認同的特質 (qualities worthy of honor and recognition)

片中一例:最好的笛要給誰?隨機?最好的樂手?最差的樂手?阿埋士多德的
