風流工之法蘭克福篇

這是一份風流工因為同事們都很好。

這是一份風流工因為去程/回程都是light load。

這是一份風流工因為清晨在酒店cafe內吃早餐看著落地玻璃外的萊茵河畔由漆黑一片轉成魚肚白。

這是一份風流工因為早餐過後便到Mainz的市集買洗頭水

An irritation with yum localupdate

One of the few things that keeps me running while I am only ondialup is ' yum localupdate '. With a combination of' yum check-update ' and ' yum localupdate ' I can get a list ofwhat RPMs I need to update, pull down copies of those RPMs atwork, dump them onto a USB key ,take them home, and then update them locally.

In theory.

In practice, ' yum localupdate ' seems to sometimes ignore RPMsthat I've supplied on the command line if


Another small user interface suggestion

Dear Xine: since various modern sound systems are amply equipped toplay multiple audio sources at once, your 'mute' button should muteonly your audio, not the entire audio chain. That way I can turn downthe Internet music stream I'm listening to in the background in favourof something of more immediate interest, like YouTube videos, withouthaving to quit out of you entirely.

CAPTCHA 誤會

剛剛見 拙劍園主 投訴新版 Blogger.com 有留言和轉碼的問題,好奇之下開其留言 Popup 一看,又再好奇之下一按那個留言 CAPTCHA [註] 的輪椅圖案。

我看到的是「psvfg」,但我聽到的是「38167312」,還以為是不是出錯了?即管一試用後


A sysadmin twitch about dump

In dump (and ufsdump, and other close cousins) you can specify thefilesystem that you want to dump in two ways: by the name of itsmountpoint, or by the name of the (raw) device that it's on. One ofmy little twitches is that I always specify thefilesystem to dump by its mountpoint. Like a lot of my little twitches,this has a history behind it.

The problem is that at least some old versions of dump were perfectlywilling to write their output to

我地呢班打工仔

  • 這會不會是句不簡單的口號? Quote: 即使你教育水平不高,完全不懂政治,也會覺得「打好份工」這句話在道德上站得住腳,默默認同——那已非常足夠,因為我們根本沒有選票,既然如此,特首的管治權威就是來

雜誌出了新一期,開心。

個人推薦“我愛沖咖啡”一文,看完了,會覺得年輕人還是對自己有要求的,雜誌出版之前,我也把這篇報導的內容跟一些年輕人交流,他們也很認同這個故事。我喜歡這樣的少年心聲,祥子,你這

A modern environment's need for broadband

I have an embarrassing confession: my home Internet connection is stilla dialup 28.8Kbps PPP link. (Back when I first set it up, this was onlyslightly behind the times, as 33.3Kbps modems had just come out.)

For a long time this was fine, because all I really did with it wastext-based stuff, mostly sshing to my machines at the university; whileI did do some web surfing, pretty much all of the sites I visitedregularly were
