從美國回流香港的同事見我霹靂趴喇在打中文，好奇問我究竟是用甚麼輸入法打中文字，難不難學。我理直氣壯地告訴她：我地廣東人呢o下，用o既當然係廣東話輸入法啦！然後她又問，不是應該學倉頡輸入法，才較正宗嗎？
A thought about free software licenses
It's recently occurred to me that one way to think about the GPLversus BSD/MIT licensing issue is that they are embodying twocompeting bits of psychology: people want to share their work and haveit widely used, and people don't like being taken advantage of.
(Although it may be surprising, there is quite a bit of evidence thatwe are in some sense wired to feel strongly about 'unfairness' and topunish it, even at a cost to our own interests. Psychologists havedone
讀書的時間和空間
今年我讀過一篇很動人的訪問，就是以下由“網絡與書”總編輯郝明義訪問詹宏志的文章，我也一度是書不離身的人，但相比於詹宏志，我還是不夠勤力，也不夠認真。我欣賞他讀書的態度，也有著和他相近的脾氣──不喜歡問
火鳳燎原

A lot of people writing Python code like this for the first timeexpect to see it print '1 9', when in fact it prints '9 9'.

情癲大聖
平安夜看了“情癲大聖”，覺得精彩又有點亂。
我向來喜歡劉鎮偉的電影，在胡鬧和不按牌理出牌之中，他總有一份深情，很佩服他的想像力。

報紙太多．時間太少
我每日最少要讀三份報紙，分別是“澳門日報”、“蘋果日報”和“信報”。
看澳日是生活需要，大部分澳門人都要看這份報紙，然而我從來不會花太多時間在這報紙上，通常只關心工作領域的情況，粗略地看新聞，也會留意副

When comment spammers attack
WanderingThoughts has been getting little one-off bits of comment spamfor some time , but late last night I had myfirst actual comment spam attack run. There's a number of interestingand odd little bits about it.
The first sign of trouble was a single comment spam posted in theevening of December 20th, from a PacBell DSL line. I removed it prettyrapidly, but on December 23rd the spammer came back from various otherIPs to post 12 more spam comments between 3:
