快樂的體力勞動

這是星期日晚趕寫出來的文章。當時已經快累瘋了,但還是要寫。更好的video因為太大,還未擺上網。願意幫忙壓細file的朋友可聯絡我。

An irritation with current GUI interfaces

Why are programs so convinced that I have horizontal real estate to givethem? Everything seems to want to put important information in sidebarsand panels and so on (usually non-optional ones).

I don't know about other people, but for me horizontal screen space ismore precious than vertical screen space. If you eat vertical space allthat happens is that I get fewer lines of your real content (which isstill irritating; please don't). But if you eat horizontal content, yourapplication

How to stop DiskSuite resyncing a mirror on Solaris 8

One of our irritations with DiskSuite has been that it has no way toabort a mirror resync short of forcing drive errors, something thatwe actually had to resort to once and which is not always possible,for example when your drives are logical LUNs on FibreChannel RAIDcontrollers.

As we found out recently, fortunately not quite the hard way, it turnsout that there actually is a way to abort a mirror resync. If yourresyncing mirror is in a diskset, running ' metaset -s -r


百害而無一利

最近有兩件有關版權的事,實在荒謬之極。其一,是 IFPI 派員 24 小時監察全港網誌背景音樂侵權行為 ,其二是 多啦 A 夢 fansite 接侵權警告

好,第一件事,可以當你對現今科技毫無認識,以為網誌是網上下載溫床,想出此白痴又浪費


Why host authentication has to check who the certificate belongs to

When using host SSL certificate to authenticate a host's identity, youcan't just check that your CA signed the host's certificate; you alsohave to check that the certificate belongs to the host (usually bychecking that the certificate's CN is the hostname, or IP address, oretc).The reason you need to make this additional check of the certificate isthat without it, you don't know if the certificate actually came fromthe host you're trying to authenticate.


網絡暴民之 CLI

CLI

CLI,Commmand Line Interface 也,用在 Blog 上雖不實用,但很好玩: 進入 CLI 模式

跟據 終極邊疆 那邊的提供的 plugin 來安裝 CLI 此 wordpress theme,但遇上不少問題,紀錄如下:

  • plugins 不知怎的抓不到 $_SERVER[‘ SCRIPT _URL’],結果自己砌
  • hosting 好像沒有 ImageMagik,所以關掉了該功能

周日.休息.蒸魚


星期日無事在家
寫稿讀書
早上回公司處理一些文件
中午回家決定去買餸
簡單三個餸
豉椒排骨、蒸鱸魚、上湯娃娃菜


有時候
假日不出街
躲在家中煮飯仔已是最有情趣的事

由於最近我飲食口味需要清淡一點
多吃蒸魚
但在外面吃飯叫蒸

Sometimes system administration requires a hacksaw

I have to admit that the hacksaw was kind of a special situation.

Our hacksaw usage came about when we were pulling an old rack from ourmachine room to make space for a new and better rack. The old rackhad a bottom plate that was just a frame, with a big opening in thecenter, and long ago we'd routed the power cord for the rack's powerdistribution unit (PDU) through that opening (presumably to keep thingsneat) instead of just out the back.

時光倒流

Warning: 本文寫作時思路極不清晰,雖然字數多多,但我翻看之後實在有點「阿媽係女人」的感覺。Anyway… 也放上來給大家看看罷~
