這個週末,又無得行山。

「個天咁灰,天雨路滑,今個週末,都唔駛旨意有得行山或者跑都步喇。」Sophie如是說。


Running a 32-bit Firefox on a 64-bit Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise

It turns out that it is pretty easy to run a 32-bit Firefoxon a modern 64-bit Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise system,something that is periodically convenient. (For example,the current Sun ILOM client needs the 32-bit version ofJava. Maybe you could run things with nspluginwrapper , but I prefernot to take chances with a machine's console.)

First, you need to make sure you have the 32 bit version of Firefoxinstalled. I don't

Take My Words

A friend of mine recently told me that we doctors are keen on using abbreviations. Very true. Two types of languages exist in this planet: language used by mankind and the language medical doctors speak.

Doctors speak different language, a fact we must admit before any meaningful dialogue can be carried on. I was reminded of the occasions when my patient developed a stroke without obvious cause. "Mr. X, I’m sorry to tell you that your dad suffers from a cryptogenic stroke." Or, as most

甚麼都不緊要,除了... ...

久休復出,到悉尼打了個白鴿轉。

回來後,腰痛得想發癲。

不過,不緊要。

回來後,40小時沒睡過我想起「油盡燈枯」這四字。

不過,不緊要。

回來後,被惹病了喉痛聲沙耳痛頭暈。

有甚麼緊要得過我天天節食

Linux's umount -f forces IO errors

Here is something that I had to find the moderately hard way:

When used on an NFS filesystem, Linux's umount -f will force anyoutstanding IO operations to fail with an error, whether or not theunmount will succeed.

This can be both good and bad, but on the whole I think it's mostly bad.

If the NFS server has died completely and the outstanding IO can neversucceed, you do want things to abort now instead of hanging around. Inthis case umount -f '


The weird effects of Firefox's remote control on Unix

I hope that Firefox's remote control feature is reasonably well known,but I suspect most people don't know about the surprising and relativelyweird effects it has in the Unix version of Firefox; certainly itsurprised my co-workers when they stumbled across it.

(Remote control is the feature where if you already have a runningFirefox and try to start another one, it will just open a new browserwindow (or tab) in the first one.)

The root of the surprising behavior comes from how

話說當日逛夜冷店逛得十分累, 唯有回到最就近的藝術中心休息.

中心正在舉辦三個畫展, 嚴格來說, 將十樓白管子的展覽一併計算, 總共有四個. 我和同學到四樓的展覽層看畫. (身為藝術的學生, 竟然很少機會到學院畫廊觀

灰得很 — 沒有iPod聽著跑步的日子

當iPod還是大大舊的時候,我已經愛帶著那40G四圍走,跑步去。

今時今日,輕巧的iPod Nano加埋NikePlus,我可以一邊跑步一邊聽歌一邊有個鬼妹(你都可以揀鬼仔)話我知我跑了多少公里,簡直就係完美配搭。

更重要的是,這配搭會
