How I solve the configure memory problem

For my sins I sometimes build programs from source that use standardautoconf-created configure scripts. The whole autoconf system has anumber of problems, which you can read people rant about at length,but my problem is that I almost invariably build things using variousdifferent non-default arguments. Which leads to what I call the'configure memory problem': when it comes time to rebuild the packagefor whatever reason, how do I remember which configure arguments Iused and recreate them? Especially, how do I have


深度

我很沒有深度。

何以見得?首先,從來沒有人認為我有深度,而且,很多人都說,介意別人對自己的看法,是沒有深度的表現;這兩點加在一起,我當然相信自己是雙倍的沒有深度了。

此外,聽說有深度的人都是沉默寡言的,一

Major Storm at Steubenville St. Louis Mid-America

There was an amazing storm that practically parked itself over Springfield, MO yesterday. I grabbed my iPhone 4 and shot some video, getting a few intense lightning strikes, a trash can lid blowing across the field of view, and some daring souls who braved the storm to get where they needed to be!


More building blocks of my environment: tkrxterm, tkssh, and pyhosts

Given my rxterm and sshterm scripts, I need some way to run them in order to do useful things. Theobvious thing to do is just to run them from the command line, butthis requires that you have a command line sitting around and in my disposable environment this isgenerally not the case.

tkrxterm and tkssh are two very simple TCL/TK programs that do essentially the same thing. They each throw up awindow with a label and a text entry field, let me enter text, and thenrun

她在伊朗長大

Marjane Satrapi 在伊朗長大。有人說,她的書受到注目,因為它罕有,而且作者用當事人的身份,告訴我們這個中東、頭紗、封建、落後、恐怖襲擊、戰爭、石油、伊斯蘭的神秘沙漠地區,原來亦合符我們的想像,那裏的確是一個地獄,而

我做舞台劇!

今年夏天,我寫了一段香港一定fuck的傳奇。我們的家,香港,也實在有過太多的傳奇。我只從冰山裏隨手抽出一角,創作了一個故事,寫成了一個劇本,把它搬上中環大會堂劇院的舞台,8月27 日起公演。Well,I know,你們看到

人禍

先講一個故事。Once upon a time(為何故事總是這樣開始?真要命),總之,就是十八到十九世紀,英國政府有個難題:他們需要用船將囚犯運送到澳洲,但那時的生條件十分惡劣,三成囚犯連澳洲個影都未見就死在船上了。

Live-Blogging to Drive Up Interest in an Event/Organization

Check out my post, Live-Blogging to Drive Traffic, Interest to Organizational Events , on Open Source Catholic. From the post:

The Steubenville St. Louis Mid-America conference is attended by over 6,000 teens every year, and there are many parents, friends, and other teens who wish they could participate as well. We have always posted information after the conference, but in St. Louis, for the past two years, we've started live-blogging and posting to social networks


一個哲學讀壞了人的例子

我曾說過哲學可以讀壞人,今天就舉一個真人真事的例子。

大約兩年前,我在Facebook出了個邏輯謎題,其實只是the liar paradox的變體。有個Facebook friend長篇大論回應了,我說他誤解了我的問題,他不服,我再解釋,他又誤解我,仍然不服,接著沒
