Email is intrusive, and why

Here is something that I've alluded to before : email is quite intrusive (well, at least in my branch of the world).For both technical and social reasons, email messages are far more like(work) phone calls than they are like paper mail.

女主角唱歌的場面也開心
韓國片通常笑中有淚
這一部也不是簡單的玩笑
我沒有看任何介紹就入場
所以滿有驚喜的

香港有異獸

Using GRUB to figure out the mapping of BIOS drive numbers

Suppose you have a piece of hardware where the mapping between BIOSdrive numbers and Linux device names is not straightforward, and youwant to figure out just what the mapping is (at least for your currentdisks). If you use GRUB (and you probably do), there's a relativelysimple way of doing this.

GRUB has two important attributes for this: it can read Linuxfilesystems and tell you what's in them, and at boot time it is workingwith the BIOS drive numbering. So

Admomo的老闆雲絲頓報料(佢老哥間公司係做網上廣告的Monitoring,我所屬的公司都有幫襯),早幾日,他意外地發現了老麥剛推出的一系列魚柳包減價廣告,由6月9-15日的原本標價$13.3,到了6月16日打後,卻開始改為$


我又陷入無盡的失眠
想宣稱所有工作停頓
但不清楚是要沒有工作呢,還是要清理了工作才能入睡
如果是後者,那此刻就要繼續不停工作。

Fedora desperately needs a better upgrade system

I just upgraded my office workstation from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 viapreupgrade, one of the two officially supported ways of doing it. Ittook four hours. Of course, my machine was effectively down for thosefour hours, as it was off the network and unusable.
