晚境悽涼

今天駕了五小時車到灣區探望一個老朋友,回來後不禁有點感慨。

說她是老朋友,不只是因為認識了十多年,還因為她年紀比我大很多,已年近七十。她是我們初到美國時的鄰居,和丈夫兩人都很熱心助人,幫了我們不少忙,大

The "Occasional CMS User" Myth - or... People Don't Like Updating Their Own Content

Relevant Article: The Myth of the Occasional CMS User

Often, one of the big justifications for a CMS is removing the webmaster bottleneck and delegating content entry to the people who have the information. The implicit assumption is that everyone wants to directly maintain their portion of the website but technology is standing in the way. But if you visit a CMS customer a while after implementation you are likely to find that the responsibility of adding content is still concentrated in a relatively small proportion of the employee population.

Unfortunately, this is almost


不是古惑仔
