剛讀了”Latte, laptop all they need”這篇報導，話說一個金融風暴，令不少美國人失業，加上咖啡店提供無線上網服務愈來愈普遍，與其躲在家中，近年不少自由工作者，都選擇了到Starbucks這類可以讓他們坐得舒舒服服的地方，一部Laptop跟身，就
更有意義的事情
筆戰令人氣旺盛、我血脈暢順，但令稿件甩漏、時間混亂，應該做別的更有意義的事情。例如捧李智良、谷陳智德、給梁文道寫序。我向某人這樣說。

What users see as benefits from sysadmins
Here is something important about system administration: us merely doingour work does not give our users a benefit , not in the sense thatusers perceive benefits. This is because, fundamentally, the job ofsysadmins is to make the systems work the way that they should to startwith, much like the job of the janitorial staff is to keep the buildingclean the way it should be.

Short reactions to spring 2009
Here are some quick (or at least short) reactions to all of the newshows of spring 2009 that I've watched some of, written down for variousfuzzy reasons. I am not going to try to summarize or review these, justgive some brief comments.
Rather than agonize over quality ratings, I've decided to rate showsbased purely on how eagerly I'm looking forward to the next episode,from +3 ('want more right now') to -3 (
