當那法國佬於凌晨三時身穿雨衣,爬上鋼梯,用黑色顏料在中環 Giorgio Armani的外牆噴上正在「溶解」的Chanel商標,他大概沒有料到,這件「藝術作品」將讓他負上670萬的外牆維修費。Oops,玩大咗。

我當然不會笑他「活該」


恐怖與安慰

「他坐了一会站起来,微笑着拉着她一只手往床前走去,两人的手臂拉成一条直线。在黯淡的灯光里,她忽然看见有五六个女人连头裹在回教或是古希腊服装里,只是 个昏黑的剪影,一个跟着一个,走在他们前面。她知道是他从

The hard problem of live major release upgrades

I've held forth before on things that boil downto 'it would be really nice if my favorite Linux distribution had liverelease upgrades'.

One might think that this is an easy feature to add.

So, just change things to getpackages from the new release's repository and do a regular packageupdate

你必須死三次

(附朋友 為《再生號》殊死血拼雅虎影評 ,發現有作弊,給《再》4或5星會被刪,留下的全是一星的;而給《殺人犯》則相反,一星被刪,4或5星留。其實《矮仔多情》都係咁,明明一直拉到2.5星,後來影評大幅由20

Novice

If there is any similarity between novice medical interns and new parents, chances are that they all make lots of mistakes.

There is so much we don't know about when we become new parents. The same is true for new interns. Of course, they must learn their trade on the job.

As a father-to-be, I haven't the foggiest idea what a parent's life would be. Then I sit back and pat myself, trying to learn the dos and don’ts

又減肥

話說小弟曾幾何時 向肥腩宣戰 ,那時也跑了多個月,感覺良好,但成效不太顯注,久而久之便又越跑越少。

歷史重演,又見肚腩,這次是影相也覺自己變了形,很嚴重。(相對啦,對其他人來說我看上去並不胖) 於是又下個決心
