寂寞的孔子《孔夫子》(Confucius)

相比電影節協會做縮頭烏龜、黑超大導王家衛失威於文化中心觀眾跟前, 電影資料館的小心翼翼, 便顯得很有誠意. 費明儀與金聖華娓娓道出父親們的故事, 即使影片遲開場, 但既知《孔夫子》得來不易, 復修多年始能重現人前

入場前廢話

若然不是手頭緊絀, 我會不斷後悔沒有購買更多電影節戲票. 剛剛撿起一本舊筆記簿, 居然收藏了去年自己編製的電影節時間表. 按照去年的進度, 我的電影節馬拉松, 在這個時候已跑了一半. 可是, 明天才是我今屆電影節的開

想對3萬蚊港女說的話:

追你的男仔都無一個搵多過你(3萬蚊)?

不如你檢討下點解搵3萬蚊以上的男人唔追你,先至話人啦。



A sysadmin use for Twitter

We have some users that are interested in reading about technical systemstatus updates and what the sysadmins are doing in general. The obvioussolution is some sort of blog-like environment where sysadmins writethings periodically, but the problem with an actual blog is that ittakes too much time to write something, especially if we are in themiddle of a semi-crisis.

Hence the attraction of Twitter. The short length of Twitter messages(and their lack of formatting) means that we simply can't writevery much

The SSD boom and the theoretical multicore revolution

For quite a while now, CPU vendors have been trying to persuade peopleto spend a great deal of money recoding applications to run on heavilymulticore CPUs so that the CPU vendors could continue to sell expensivenew CPUs (to put it one way ). Themotivation CPU vendors offer is that if you don't make the investment,system performance can't increase any more and then the wheels come offeveryone's wagon, not just theirs.

Now consider the current SSD boom. Pretty much everyone agrees that


悶人書

讀書果然是重要的.

這些年來看書不多, 自身的知識已透支不少. 二十出頭的日子, 無所事事, 到處浪蕩, 在二樓書店狂煲日本電影書籍, 好幾本還是在P.O.V. 豪氣買下來的. 看到懂得背誦便放下來. 書到用時方恨少, 現

浮游.詩歌

各位朋友



專輯《浮游》,終於 終於出左了......



過去三幾年間,我曾經把一些本地詩人的詩,改編為歌曲。

有的曾在自己的cd跟其他歌曲一同出版,也有放在「甜美生活」音樂網誌中讓人免費download。

There are three entry states for feed readers

In making yet another small mistake with my feed reader of choice, Ihave come to the realization that there are actually three states thatI want entries to be in, in addition to the basic 'read' one. I want tohave all of unread entries, entries flagged for later attention, andmarked (saved) entries. In fact, I think that this also holds true foremail readers, since they are dealing with the same sort of issues.

In theory, I shouldn't need the '


The endings of adoptions

Author correctly points out theelephant in the room for sources of unsatisfying endings with unresolvedmysteries: adoptions of ongoing manga series (or any ongoing series,since there are adoptions of light novels too). The honest answer to hisquestion is that I didn't think of it; I was more or less only focusingon things that were within the control of the anime creators.

Having said that, it's still the anime studio's responsibility to solvethe problem. I can only think of two good


A thought on the problem of endings

One of the things that I've gotten used to as I watch anime is thatmany anime shows have unsatisfying endings. The show will go alongdecently or even great in the regular episodes, building up mysteriesand intriguing events, and then they reach the concluding episodes and,well, people wind up sitting around going 'that's all? that was theirexplanation for everything?'

(This is so common that people have coined terms like 'Sunrise ending'and 'Gonzo ending' to summarize how certain
