「我決定戒煙。」
這句說話，假使出自你和我一個普通人口中，實行起來再難，說起來也很易。
但如果這是出自廣告公司的話，就非同少可。
當然，這其實是電視劇的虛構情節。

好客
我頗好客，家裏經常有朋友和同事來看電影、開派對、喝下午茶、吃晚飯，當然多數是我主動請的，但有時則是較要好的朋友提議在我家搞聚會，我也絕少會說「不」。間中有朋友從遠方來探望我，即使不是特別相熟的，我都會
Directory link counts and a find trick
In the beginning, Unix directories were remarkably non-special. Oneof the ways that they were non-special is that connections betweendirectories were not special in any way; a directory entry for adirectory was just a hard link to the directory's inode, the same aswith any other sort of inode. This applied to the two special names . and .. too; each of them was a regular directory entry, the first ahard link to the directory itself and the second a hard link to
這個世界是不會變的
在忙亂的生活中，有時即使已很努力，還是會因為種種原因而感到失望。
以前總是覺得做好本分就好了，對得起自己就好了。不過當自己真的做得比較認真負責的時候，往往就會發現這個地方還真的有太多不認真不負責的人，而

A glance at my dialysis patient's blood count reminds me the Recession – everything went down except the level of anxiety. It's the third month like this. I told my patient, "Well, we don't really know what's happening. Your white cell and platelet counts are both coming down, almost as quickly as you're going anaemic." I suggested him to have a bone marrow test to figure out the problem.
Of course, my patient didn't believe me.

待意念之兔
我曾 說過 自己每天都有很多意念（ideas），不請自來，有時天馬行空、不著邊際，有時卻是（自以為的）真知灼見、妙到毫巔。然而，很多時候我必須集中思考一個問題，不能對腦袋採取放任政策，而要規限自己在一段時間內不想
When Linux's rp_filter might make sense
I wrote a grumpy entry about net.ipv4.conf.*.rp_filter setting back here , where I said that it didn't make anysense. Well, I can actually come up with one situation where it maymake sense: virtualization and thus virtualization networks.
One relatively common virtual machine setup is NAT-based, where thevirtual machines get IP addresses on a private virtual network on thehost. While the host doesn't route to its virtual network (or networks,if you
A find optimization and a piece of history, all in one
One of the floating pieces of modern Unix lore is that if you are doinga find that matches against both filenames and other properties of thefile, it's best to put the filename match first. That is, if you want tofind zero-sized object files the right order is:
find . -name '*.o' -size 0 -print
I called this a piece of modern Unix lore for good reason; this wasn'tnecessarily true in the old days (and even today it
