Packaging systems should be comprehensive

I have a number of peculiar opinions about packaging systems in general.One of them is that if you have a good packaging system, you should beable to manage your machine entirely through it; every modification thatyou need to make should be doable as part of a package.

(Okay, not quite every modification; I'll exclude files that arein constant flux outside of your control, like /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow , and operations like rebooting the machine due tonew kernel installations.


遺忘三字經

黎明的確曾經是樂壇四大天王,不論他現在把楊千嬅弄成怎麼樣,或是衛蘭的專輯封面真的嚇人一跳,又或是黎明自己的作品比十年前更慘不忍睹,他的確曾經在九十年代紅得很。那個會聽四大天王,會迷得上黎明的一代人,不

Nexus One可支援Flash player 10.1

這個禮拜,身邊很多朋友問我有關Nexus One能否播放flash這問題,因為行家們都關心,他們用flash寫好的網上廣告和網站,能否出現在手機上。

哎喲,我雖然在IT公司上班,但我是公司內唯一的非技術電腦白痴型員工,我唔敢亂講,但可


「反對興建高鐵」不等同「反對發展」–梁文道的「反高鐵」社評

雖然真理不會愈辯愈明,但基本上,我還是支持有人出來反高鐵的,因為最低限度,引起了廣泛討論,大家才會開始認真的去關注本身的問題,大家平時都太忙,可能連反省的時間都沒有,這就是一個好反省的機會,人不懂得反


Levi’s Pop-up衣櫃

做marketing的朋友,除了要度橋搞營銷賣廣告外,更久不久要為與傳媒的大哥大姐打好關係,不停搞搞新意思。

你知啦,年中的新產品如恒河細沙,人家收press release收產品samples都收到手軟,想突圍而出?唔係話咁易。

小時候,你一定玩過這類


不如做豬?

英國哲學家穆勒( John Stuart Mill )有句名言:「做個不愜意的人勝過做頭愜意的豬。」("It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied.")我問過多個朋友,他們卻大都寧願做頭愜意的豬。

對很多人來說,快樂比一切都重要;他們一生追求的,就

Google是一間網絡公司

googlecn_tiananmen

Google 宣佈可能退出中國市場,因為遇上黑客事件,而且不想配合言論審查。

你可以看得出,Google 是一間真正的網絡公司。她深明網絡是一個講求開放、自由、去中心化的地方,網民才是當中主角。當你得為進入市場而靠攏強權忽視網


One reason why you should not let people register other people

Let us suppose that you have a website that allows and in fact requiresregistration. Let us further suppose that you have decided to be cleverand viral; you will helpfully let people register other people, so Jimcan tell your website 'create an account for Bob, here's his emailaddress'.

(This is subtly different than registration confirmation email , at least in practice. Arguably it is worse,since you aren't even trying to confirm that Bob is interested,you're setting up the


私下比較

雖然不太想承認,但事實上我的確是透過與其他人比較,來了解自己的成長程況。打個比方,當我發現,有一日,自己拒絕再於任何說話裏加一句「我最憎……」之後,我就知道我已經不再是年輕人,亦即是中學生之類。

Browser Feature Detection

Often when dealing with different browsers, this is something I encounter recently (with jQuery):

var ie6 = $.browser.msie && $.browser.version == '6.0';if(ie6){	$('html,body').css({height:'100%',width:'100%'});	target.css('position','absolute'); //IE6 has no '
