重逢

重逢

這個drafting meeting好像開了一輩子那麼久。散會的時候已將近晚上八時,上海的夜幕急不及待地展開。Eric發揮「律政鴨」本色,拉大隊晚飯卡拉OK直落,乘機討好客人和bankers。哼,一大班男人去得了什麼地方?我推說還要處理文件,Eric

第一堂瑜伽課

第一堂瑜伽課

「待清掉手頭上幾單M&A,我真要放放假了!」Eric嘆了一口大氣。這傢伙臉皮好厚,「我真要放放假」這句話,我Daisy未開口,幾時輪到你講?

今天還有大堆工作要處理,Eric這無聊人卻偏要賴在我跟前的椅上,東拉


A thought on trackbacks

One corollary to different views on what comments are for that has struck me is different views on how desirableand useful trackbacks are.

To wit: if you feel that comments are a conversation, trackbacks arean annoying distraction; they are an attempt to pull people away fromthe conversation to another site (or page). However, if comments area collection of reactions, trackbacks are clearly desirable; theyaggregate the reactions on other sites into one place.

My personal view is that I am most interested in comments as


舒泰.老脾.盛事

空肚看完《哈奈馬仙》,有話想說有文想寫(我再次強調,是快感,就是渾身舒泰),但乖乖去校對。一點半校對完,回家再趕文。明早十二點半到荃灣,工作至六點到灣仔隊字花埋版,恐怕是連續兩天沒得睡,改版風雨飄搖,

BitTorrent trackers are not innocent bystanders

Every so often, I see someone put forth the view that BitTorrenttrackers aren't at all responsible for what they help distribute becausethey operate without actually knowing anything about the torrents theycoordinate. In practice this is wrong.

People say this because in theory a tracker (or at least an unencrypted one ) doesn't have to knowanything more about torrents than their SHA1 hashes, or more technicallysome shared key of the right size that all the clients agree on; to thetracker it is an opaque

A brief mention of some tools for debugging Linux NFS client issues

Someone here recently asked for tips on debugging a mysterious LinuxNFS client hang. I didn't have any answers, but I did happen to knowwhere to look for some Linux-specific tools. (The person had alreadyexhausted the abilities of things like tcpdump to help.)

The most obvious thing is to use the magic SysRq to get a dump of the kernel call stacks of all processes (the t command). Once you find the hanging processes in all of the output, youcan usually see what


What Linux's RPC queue dump means, sort of

Since I went digging through the kernel source code yesterday , here is the meaning of the fieldsin the RPC queue dump that you get any time you write to /proc/sys/sunrpc/rpc_debug .

As far as I've been able to work out, the useful fields are:

-pid- An internal RPC sequence number; it has nothing todo with process PIDs, despite the name.
proc The RPC procedure number being invoked, in decimal;you can find which NFS action is which

渾身舒泰

陳炳釗先生週初來電,我一頭霧水又應約做週五演後嘉賓,誰叫我支持前進進呢。
除了以下前進進提到的尖銳反思之外,我必須強調:每次看過前進進,都渾身舒泰,一點不假。我如何說,大家也不明白。但的確如此,渾身舒泰
