Some thoughts on the Fedora Core 5 Gnome desktop

I am still testing things on my new machine , soI haven't bothered trying to build my usual highly custom X Windowsenvironment on it. Since I've still been poking around with it, I'vebeen getting a reasonable amount of exposure to the default Gnomedesktop in Fedora Core 5.

To my surprise, it's turned out to be a surprisingly usable and livableenvironment. To a fairly large extent a lot of things just work, withoutfuss or muss. When they don't

小奠

那天聽到天水圍小販溺斃的新聞呆住了,但看來還是無法寫出文來。轉貼:

文學節與七一

今年幾件工作都與文學節有關,也推介過 一些文學節活動 ,會再慢慢推介。七月三日論文口試,交了文後就未睇過篇文,可能很快又要貼地獄受難圖了。不過有些話還是要說。

你想見,我想見,係咪咁堅?

話說上兩個星期,接到 GBA 師傅的召集,幫王雙駿手到錄音室替軟硬新歌《Long time no see》錄一些合唱聲。要錄的並不多,只是十個字:「你想見,我想見」、「係咪咁堅」?算是見識一下錄音現場。

More on the Solaris ssh stuff (part 2)

As an update on the Solaris ssh stuff :

Sun has just today released version 08 of patch 114356, which fixes the 'xmalloc: zero size' problem (charmingly describedin the patch README as 'New ssh in Sol. 9 exits if the key fingerprintcannot be found in the known_host files'), but not the problemswith mech_krb5.so and the GSS stuff.
