記憶空白

魚之樂 | Nov. 17, 2010, 3:01 a.m. | Original

我的記憶，似乎是從七、八歲才開始的。

由出世到七、八歲，我都住在一個木屋區，叫模範村，應該是僭建的。我家是一間只有一百多平方呎的鐵皮頂木屋，我出世後一家三口住在那裏，然後我妹妹出世，一家四口仍然是只有一

有些事的確難於啟齒，不是因為我感到羞恥，而是我知道即使告訴了你，你也不會聽，就算聽，也不會明白，所以我難以啟齒。對一個明顯不會理解自己的人說話，就像跟一個三歲小孩子解釋火的現象及成因，並希望他能因此不

Jill Clayburgh 仙遊了. 也許她不算是知名度很高的女演員 (以近20年的標準而言). 從新聞上得知Jill Clayburgh患病多年, 終於明白為何她在80年代以後的事業後勁不繼. 40年代出生、70年代成名的女演員中, 最有名氣、仍然活躍的, 只

The New Blue Mikey will NOT work with iPhone 4, iPad

The new Blue Mikey (2.0) will not work with the iPhone 4 or iPad. It's a big letdown for me, as I don't really care if Blue can support previous-generation or outmoded equipment with their mics.

Their CEO, John Maier (no... not John Mayer...) said their engineers are hard at work increasing compatibility with iPhone 4 and iPad. Great. Maybe we'll see the Mikey 3.0 next year sometime. I'm

這兩個月系內竟同時有兩個同事鬧離婚，一個結婚已十年，另一個則更長，二十多年；兩個同事都是男的，都是他們提出離婚。這令我感到相當意外，尤其是結了婚二十多年那個同事，跟太太一向都是老夫老妻的情狀，想不到竟

When good ideas go bad: how not to do a file chooser dialog

Wandering Thoughts | Nov. 16, 2010, 12:18 a.m. | Original

I hate the modern Gnome file chooser dialog. Fortunately its problemsmake a great illustration of the perils of falling victim to a goodidea.
