幫幫我,徵求技術支援


開blog以來
小弟一直採用最低層次的技術經營
坦白說
這個blog的多種用途
小弟是無力涉獵的
情形就如我的手機
最大用途只是打電話收發短訊和看日曆
其他功能我一概不用或不會用

不過日前應讀友要求把專欄文章放上網
其實一直都要等

Link: OpenBSD spamd

OpenBSD spamd - greylisting and beyond is a presentation by BobBeck of the University of Alberta about the OpenBSD's spamd system, howspammers react to it and similar systems, how you can exploit this,and the University of Alberta's experiences with spamd, complete withinteresting numbers. I'm sadly jealous, as local feelings insure thatI'm not going to get to deploy this sort of technology any time soon.

滿城盡帶黃金甲 – 浮誇的必要

Curse of Golden Flower

《滿城盡帶黃金甲》,又一套大灑錢花的「中國大型製作」電影,極盡浮誇之能事,金光閃閃又千軍萬馬。有人對這種「大場面」很不以為然,以為不過是虛晃花招。但真正問題是:這種花招是否必要?在《黃金甲》裏,答案是

A thought of the day

Something that occurred to me not too long ago:

Once you start thinking of furniture as a type of computer hardware,it becomes much easier to talk yourself into buying a decent deskchair.

In some sense it is completely absurd how many computer people arewilling to pay several hundred dollars for a good monitor (LCD or CRT),but will balk at spending even a hundred dollars for a comfortablechair. (In another sense, it is very human; we're not exactly entirelyrational creatures.)


Link: A lovely summary of the XHTML issue

On the WHATWG mailing list, Henri Sivonen put together a marvelous andconcise summary of the whole problem with XHTML in today's world, andwhy XHTML advocates usually irritate me. I'm not going to quote anything;just read the whole thing here .

(From Sam Ruby , who linkedto an Ian Hickson WHATWG mailing list message that quoted HenriSivonen's message.)


The problem with #ifdef

Something that crystallized in the process of writing the earlierBourne shell quoting entry is that #ifdef abuseleads to bad results for the same fundamental reason that multiplelevels of escaping are bad: after a certain point, people can no longerclearly see what the real code will look like.

When you can't see what the code looks like, it's really hard to makesensible changes; either you make blind stabs or you have to carefullyreconstruct the actual code, usually by hand. Either process is error


What Google Sitemaps isn't

The Google Sitemaps XML format has a somewhat underdocumented field, which is described as:

The priority of this URL relative to other URLs on your site.[...]

The Google documentation is somewhat imprecise here, as there are atleast two meanings for 'priority' and they don't really say which onethey mean. The first sort of priority is 'which pages do I want crawledfirst'; the second sort of priority is 'which pages (within my site) doI


專屬我的紀念館

A上演非正式失蹤的四個月後,竟再出現了。

平安夜的清晨5時53分,玩樂過後,如常在等那頭班開出的巴士。

毫無先兆,接到A的來電,有點醉的我,卻認不出那電話號碼。

聽到他的聲音,我知道他喝醉了,反而放心。

因為
