世事多變 豈可盡如人意

silencemo | Oct. 18, 2006, 5:53 a.m. | Original
世事多變，果然不可盡如人意。工作了一大段時間，以為可以見到成果，卻為一些不可控制的事情影響，像有一隻無形之手在操控著每件事情。於是打完一仗又要再打一仗，直到今日才真的可以停下來，想一想這十幾日發生過的

CSS is assembly language

Wandering Thoughts | Oct. 18, 2006, 1:18 a.m. | Original

I was struck by a thought today: CSS is an assembly language. Thisexplains a lot of its issues, because (like other assembly languages)it suffers from the problem that you can't communicate your high-levelintentions, only your low-level actions.

The whole rat's nest of columnar layout issues and the ensuing irritations are where CSS's true colours show through most clearly.But it's not the only area; almost everywhere you look, CSS is about thelow-level

Wandering Thoughts | Oct. 17, 2006, 1:18 a.m. | Original

Activating the Right Layout Mode Using the Doctype Declaration is pretty much summarized by itstitle. As a bonus, it includes a handy chart of how various browsersreact to various specific DOCTYPE declarations (or did, as of when thechart was made; browser DOCTYPE behavior is an ever-changing target, andthe chart is a good illustration of how much variety there can be).

An Amanda gotcha with dumps to disk

Wandering Thoughts | Oct. 17, 2006, 1:18 a.m. | Original

One of the configurations that Amanda supportsthese days is dumping to disk instead of to tape. The leading way to dothis is to use your disk space as virtual tapes, using the 'file' outputdriver (per here ).

When you do this, it is vital to remember that to Amanda, these aretapes . Very fast tapes, but tapes. And they have all of the limitationsof tape. Such as that only one thing can be written to them at once.

So if you do not

Why have an MX record to yourself?

Wandering Thoughts | Oct. 16, 2006, 1:18 a.m. | Original

In a recent entry ,Russell Coker brings up an issue:

One issue that has been the topic of some pointless discussion iswhether a mail server should have an A record or an MX record.

It's harmless not to have an MX record that points to yourself,but having one can save people a DNS query in many situations.

Answers to DNS queries have three sections: answer records, authorityrecords, and additional records. Authority records are the NS records ofthe authoritative nameservers (and SOA records for negative

我回來了

silencemo | Oct. 15, 2006, 1:49 p.m. | Original


一連十幾日的工作
好像在地獄一般
不過我還是回來了
而且活著

今晚跟同事去了酒吧
其實我沒有喝酒的心情
回到家中已是一點
發現自己很久沒有寫這個blog
這裡也好像有點死寂了

明天開始要好好組織如何把這個blog起死回生
還有ctm那邊
