為什麼孩子不想學習?

對於教育,我一向悲觀。自問一世夠運,小學時以為畢業後就要工作,中學階段沒有奢望過上大學,大學畢業後雖然無怨無悔,但學習從來不是一條易走的路,十幾年來天天都很難過,皆因整個社會都在恐嚇我,他們說:讀書成

Link: The virtual furniture police

The Virtual Furniture Police is ultimately an unflattering view of how IT departments too oftenattempt to have a great deal of control over user desktops. The openingparagraph summarizes things nicely:

This is a review, of sorts, of the book Peopleware: ProductiveProjects and Teams by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister. Then a segueto explain how typical corporate IT policies contravene some of theexcellent advice in this book.

And the title is lovely; I think I have a new catchphrase.

Another annoying RSS feed trick

Following up my previous entry on this subject , I've run across another clever way to dopartial feeds: include only the first paragraph of every entry withoutany indication that there's more . This works especially well if yourfirst paragraphs are pretty much self-contained, so that they're easy tomistake for full entries.

If people haven't browsed your blog directly (perhaps because they'rereading you through an aggregator), you may be able to fool them forsome time. Won


我輕蔑 所以我快樂


越來越不想理會澳門街的人和事
也不想再思考評論或者關心
也許此時此處此模樣的澳門
根本不值得我為之費心與書寫
也許這許許多多奇奇怪怪又見怪不怪的人和事
只值得我置以輕蔑的態度

剛才看了小脂說自己唔化
他有一部分唔化

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

screen -x

I have an confession: I don't really like screen . I never have; it'salways struck me as an poor substitute for a real windowing system,something you only resort to when you can't get the real thing for onereason or another.

(What really boggles me is the people who aggressively use screeninside X, winding up with one terminal window with everything insidea screen session.)

One of the most painful limitations of screen for me has been that youcan't see


《神鵰》無限復活

見無線又有《神鵰俠侶》了,想想看我這一代究竟看過多少次《神鵰》?我只對劉德華 + 陳玉蓮、古天樂 + 李若彤,但弟堅持有三套,並說那時那首《神話‧情話》就是第三套《神雕》的主題歌。

當然,人的記憶並不可靠,所以


寂夫人泰式按摩


泰國之行後
我基本上精神爽利
主要原因是寂夫人經歷了幾日的按摩洗禮
居然無師自通發展出一套獨門按摩法
現在每遇疲累便由她出手擺平
真的功效顯著
值得大力表揚

沉重壓力之中
就是需要這樣的生活情趣

高陽


讀完張大春的新書
找來他師父高陽的“紅頂商人”來讀
我十多年前讀“胡雪巖”
不太明白當時為什麼有人會拿高陽和金庸相提並論
十幾歲的人真的只愛奇幻
真的不明白“胡雪巖”中老是請吃飯老是講巴結奉承有什麼好看
教書的時
