寂然文學世界

silencemo | March 24, 2009, 8:59 a.m. | Original

今日心血來潮
把自己當年貪得意開的yahoo blog改頭換面
並準備經營成" 寂然文學世界 "
這個新的空間會集中刊出我的小說,書評和談文學的文章
多年來我對自己寫過的東西都不太重視
現在一把年紀就開始不記得自己寫過些什麼了
因此

Adman's Rants 廣告風涼話 - 一名廣告人的阿吱阿咗 | March 24, 2009, 3:55 a.m. | Original

我算是後知後覺，聽了櫻井和壽在 ap bank fes’07 聲嘶力竭地翻唱了「歌うたいのバラッド」這首歌，才第一次聽到這首已經有12年歌齡的好歌，知道斉藤和義這名字。

Using fully mirrored system disks on Linux

Wandering Thoughts | March 24, 2009, 1:18 a.m. | Original

I'm on record as building systems that usemirrored system disks with plain /boot and swap partitions (that is,non mirrored, just duplicated), mostly through ancient caution.

You know what? I was wrong. Totally wrong. I've now built a system witha fully mirrored system disk and not only does it work, it works betterthan my old way. I will henceforth now mirror /boot and swap, inaddition to all of the regular filesystems, on all future systems that I

Frustration for a sysadmin (well, for me)

Wandering Thoughts | March 24, 2009, 1:18 a.m. | Original

How to help bicyclists #1: don't do us any special favours

Roving Thoughts | March 24, 2009, 1:18 a.m. | Original

Let us suppose that you are a well meaning driver who wants to help outbicyclists, but you don't bicycle yourself (or at least not anywherewhere you're sharing the road with cars) so you don't have directexperience to draw on. So, what can you do to help?

Roving Thoughts | March 24, 2009, 1:18 a.m. | Original

Someday I will probably put together a 'stalker's guide toChris' page to have all of this sort of information in onespot, but in the mean time here is my Flickr photostream . My major useof it is for Project 365 , which I am onmy second year of.
