情感植物人(下)

上星期說到一個月前的星期六,我逛完街心情愉快地回來,竟發現大門拴一頭狗,門縫裏夾一封信。打開來看,又是Sharon。「我要去一個遙遠的地方,Patrick就拜託你了。」信上這樣寫。Obviously,Patrick就是那頭狗。數年前當我報警找來

Why I'm wrong about what sort of APIs C's stdargs allows

One of the things that blogging gives me is the chance to be verywrong in public. Yesterday , I claimed thatC's stdargs didn't let you peel some arguments off the front of a va_list and then pass the shortened list to another function,such as vprintf() . Well, no, and now I'll tell you why I'm wrong.

I'm clearly wrong in practice on x86 Unix machines with gcc, as a simpletest program easily demonstrated once


How I fixed Google's search results redesign

I really dislike Google's redesign of their search results, because theycommit one of my great irritations ; they putsite navigation on the left side (where it cuts off content in narrowwindows) instead of on the right (or on the bottom, or nowhere). Aftera few days of staring at the new design and grinding my teeth, I decidedto fix it.

Since I use Firefox, the modern way of fixing this is probablya Greasemonkey script. However I don't use Greasemonkey for


世俗兩難

該怎麼看教會被世俗化呢?

這個問題嚴肅得會改變很多人的生活,甚至信仰本身︰假如世俗化是有害的,那麼我們必須要棄絕那些屬於俗世的嬉戲,需要以落入世俗娛樂為恥,因為那將會損害信仰的純正,要避免使用世俗的語言

佛誕又講一下…

想不到台灣的夜總會真行,找那些舞女去接客,免費上床,加上一句我愛你,騙那些宅男幫其贖身。被騙者三萬多人,金額過億....特别提示:被騙者多是電腦男的精英......台灣還真是一個女人的天堂...男人笨


不是Guru Dutt的電影 《12 O'Clock》


嚴格來說, 《12 O'Clock》(1958) 不是Guru Dutt的電影 (為什麼Eros Films會歸納為Guru Dutt Collection?) . Guru Dutt只負責演出. 除了導演和編劇等決策崗位外, 影片儼然是Guru Dutt慣用的班底: Guru Dutt, Waheeda Rehman, Johnny Walker, Rehman, Uma Devi (Tun Tun).

有效率的盡責

我系的同事大都是很盡責的老師,但沒有人及得上J。J兩年前在UCLA拿了博士便來我的大學當助理教授,是個笛卡兒專家,旁通中古哲學。他人品極好,有料子卻無半點傲氣,對學生很隨和,教書盡心盡力,頗受學生歡迎。

古惑仔夕陽之歌

莊文強是個很有趣的人,看他的樣子便知道。劉偉強說過,《無間道》的傻強角色,是看著莊文強來寫的。

偶爾看見他在幕前客串,也很惹笑,像《內衣少女》中,


Users Are Stupid - a Guiding UX Principle

About a week ago, a road near my condo was closed off due to construction. Prominent signs were placed at three separate junctions warning drivers to take a detour. Judging by these signs, a rational individual would get the hint and turn right, avoiding any unnecessary danger to his life or his vehicle.

Unfortunately, users (and drivers) are NOT rational when it comes to most decisions. They have a goal, and they'll do whatever they think is best to achieve that goal, whether or not it
