搞大件事

大人物喜歡大事化小,出了天大錯誤,都會有辦法令事件看起來不那麼嚴重,不值得追究,不需要再談論。小人物卻相反,喜歡小事化大,無風起浪,一旦等到機會就會捸著一丁點小事無限擴張,令本來沒有問題的事形容成天塌

《一煮成名》


剛離巢無線的袁彌明,首次現身有線節目《一煮成名》即晒低胸大露背,還烏身切蝦搶鏡。她依然一貫愛批評本色,當學廚劉明軒、區焯文與陳皓恩開火煮食時即彈三彈四,還不自覺地拉袁彩雲做「擋油牌」。

事後,袁彌明表示

How we set up our iSCSI target servers

The SAN backend for our new fileserver environment is Linux serversacting as iSCSI targets. There's two sides to their setup; the hardwareand the software.

Hardware-wise, the biggest problem was that there are essentially nogeneric servers (especially inexpensive ones) that have enough disks. Sowe punted; we're using 'generic' 1U servers, specifically SunFire X2100M2s, with the iSCSI data disks in external ESATA-based enclosures. Ourcurrent enclosures give us twelve


步入寒冬

道指終於跌破10,000。

如之前所說,跌破一萬點就等於見了底。不過見底不等於一定要大量入市,因為相信道指短期會在9,500---11,000反復上落,建議現在可以分段入優質股,例如GE(現價:$21.5

崔真實與金正日

韓星崔真實自殺. 看到這則新聞當場打了個突. 不為崔真實有關自尋短見的內情, 而是想到, 她在南韓極受歡迎, 在沈銀河、李英愛等人冒起前, 她是南韓演員中牌面最大的其中一人. 論受歡迎程度, 稱得上是國寶級演員. 為此

Gut Feeling

How many times have you been making decision by gut feeling, which turns out to be wrong?

To be fair, our brains tend to interpret the world within the limitation of sensory perception, which is incredibly biased and doesn't make sense at all. While we think that we are given choices, we have difficulty understanding the fact that we have been coaxed to follow the wrong instinct. Well, if you don't believe me, think about the example of making decisions on what we eat and drink.

A problem with Python's help()

I mentioned in passing that when I ampoking around an unfamiliar object (well, class), I usually reach firstfor dir() and only somewhat later try help() . There's several reasonsfor this, but one of them is that help() is overly verbose in a uselessway.

The problem is that many objects have a lot of completely standardmethods like __repr__ , generally with absolutely no usefuldocumentation text, and help() will gleefully tell you all about them

SSL certificate revocation doesn't work (for web browsers)

How SSL certificate revocation is supposed to workis conceptually simple. The CA publishes a CRL , andSSL-using programs check the CA's CRL before actually accepting a signedSSL certificate. Despite this, SSL certificate revocation doesn't workon the web in either practice or in theory.

It doesn't work in practice because, well, it doesn't; you cannotrevoke a SSL certificate today and have most web users notice. Theonly web browser that actively supports any sort of CRL checkingis
