Dear Solaris boot sequence: SHUT UP

Here is how Solaris reduced me to a grim rage just now.

We had a power glitch this weekend, and one of our Solaris serverswouldn't come up afterwards; it hit some problem that left it needingattention in single-user mode.

What problem? I couldn't see. Solaris printed the problem to the machineconsole, but then it kept producing more boot-time output . Lotsof boot time output, all of it unimportant (one or two lines per iSCSItarget that it could connect


一週年

連續數篇網誌,讓我忘記了原來剛好一週年。屬於車窗望的一週年。

計起來,由第一篇起至一年後,總共寫了150篇文章,換算下來大約是每2.4日就有一篇,或是「才」有一篇。還不算太差嗯?雖然期望過可以每日一篇,

沉默

打從開始,以最冷淡最沉默的態度去處理這件事。

因為,這是唯一我懂得做的。

酒醉不能令我失態,藥物不能令我透露心事。

除了當眼處的安眠藥與一地的掉髮,整件事,不露端倪。

如常過活,一般開心。

繼續約會放肆調笑,更

Two weeks from now... [marriage]

...I'll be a married man!

In the next few months, my beloved fiancée and I will be writing a few stories about our engagement and marriage preparation, as well as some of the awesome highlights of our preparation for our actual wedding and reception.

We might have a 'special section' on this site for marriage-related topics ( you can already read through some marriage-related posts here ), or we might set up shop on a different site... whatever the


"Licensing for this product has stopped working" - Adobe CS3/CS4 on a Mac

Recently, I had to recover my iMac from a Time Machine backup and a hard drive replacement (my old drive flaked out— see how I repaired my hard drive here (video included!) ).

Upon trying to open any Adobe Creative Suite 3 app (I use Photoshop and Illustrator daily...), I got the following error window:

Adobe Illustrator - Licensing for this product has stopped working

I was taken to this Adobe Support page , which suggests a variety of options for fixing the problem—all of which didn't work for me.

Pentax 645+ 55mm 2.8+樂凱黑白120

pentax 55 2.8在penta120系統上來講算是廣角鏡了,用來試黑白,感覺還滿贊的,樂凱120黑白比135的來得細膩。

那清晰的表現力還是歸工在pentax 645的鏡頭威力吧。

Rubik


Umm I had a long free week after my first clinical rotation. I really wish to gain some extra-medic skill, but limited by the short time - skiing is out, tennis is out, piano is out. I could only resort to something smaller and easier (yet challenging enough). Finally I found my long-forgotten Rubik's cube in my drawer, and there I go!

My best record was only to finish one single face unaidedly (if you still consider this as a record..

行運奇俠傳修改稿

前言 寫小說最能讓人歡喜的境界就是可以把一個平白無聊的歷史事件,創作成驚天地泣鬼神感人肺腑,傳頌千古的傳奇。最成功的不用說就是羅先生的三國演義,所有人物皆有故事,但羅生卻可以通通整合,將人物刻畫得入木三


伽利略死不瞑目

根據幾年前的 一個調查 ,美國人仍有大約五分一相信太陽環繞地球運轉;你可能會認為這五分一人一定是些沒受過教育的土包子,可是,昨天我在哲學導論講伽利略的一個思想實驗(thought experiment)時,便見證了美國大學生科學常識之貧
