「就是這兩天媽媽帶給我的快樂。」
我問小女孩今年收到什麼聖誕禮物，這就是她的答案。
「今年聖誕節過得份外開心，因為這兩天媽媽都不用開工，整整兩天都陪著我。」
原來，因工作性質關係，小女孩的媽媽每逢大時大節，
一件關於書的憾事
過去十五年，我搬過家七次。每次搬家，都怪自己買書太多（我不說「太濫」，因為我相信在我家裏的都是好書）。從前住在香港，家居狹小，早受有書無處藏之苦；後來到了美國，住的房舍大得多了，只引得我恣意買書，不出
Solaris is not open source
This is not exactly news to anyone, but I feel like writing it downanyways: Solaris is not open source, and this matters in practice.
You might well ask, 'but what about OpenSolaris?'

軟骨文人?
我還是個文藝青年時，常常讀余光中的書；不是他的詩，而是他的散文。余光中說自己「右手寫詩，左手寫散文」，我就當他是個左撇子！我覺得他的詩呆板無味，意像又不美，音樂感也不強，遠不及洛夫、瘂弦、和鄭愁予等。

終於看到一套像樣的港產片.
終於看到一套像樣的港產片.
- 觀眾千萬別以為電影橋段是真實歷史
- 電影中真正主角是沒有武戲的王學圻和梁家輝. 王學圻精准地演繹出對革命存愛存恨的心情、對兒子的溺愛. 每一次出場都綻放異彩,牽引觀眾的
The annoying timing of future SSL certificate renewals
One of the most annoying things about the whole ipsCAsituation for me is what it's goingto do to our SSL certificate renewal timing (ipsCA gaveeducational institutions free SSL certificates, so we have abunch from them). In his entry about ipsCA, Bob Plankers commented:
It would also be nice to have all those SSL certificates co-terminate,so we can renew them all at once.
This is not an attractive idea for me. There's two problems with this,one general one and
忙完了
忙完一輪，休息幾天，然後靜靜等待新的生活和新的一年。
周六去邊度有書主持了一次「讀來讀往」，都是隨便講，但難得大家都認真討論，有幾位朋友聽完我亂講也會發表自己的意見，那就很好了，近年來我也很少這樣談文學
