Why you want a recursive-forwarding caching nameserver

One of the things that I mentioned I wanted in a caching nameserver was the ability to forward queriesto other nameservers as both recursive and non-recursive queries. Acommentator asked, effectively, why you needed to forward recursivequeries. As it turns out I did not have a handy answer for this atthe time, because I couldn't remember off the top of my head where I'dneeded it. Well, I think I've come up with the answer.

不如我來當記者

每一天看到記者在電視發問,就很想知道他們在大學受過甚麼教育,他們的上司又有何要求,而他們又如何看待訪問這一回事,因為這些記者的提問水平實在太低。看電視新聞,每一宗港聞都總是先由主播讀一次主要內容,然後

寂寞夜晚

落寞寂寞的一個夜晚,
重設平凡再見夢幻,
但願是瀟灑告別,休說可歸返;
斷斷續續的千個夜晚,
無窮濃情怕會漸淡,
靜默地拭乾了淚,
一切請珍惜,一切將吹散。


溫文儒雅的「輕量感」入耳式耳機–UE700

因為以iTunes作為我的音樂管理庫,所以平日我的便攜音樂播放器,順理成章便是以iPod Classic或iPhone為主。

說到耳筒,除了天氣較熱的日子,一般我會盡量用頭戴式耳筒,但當天氣太熱,我便會使用入耳式耳機。

由於是每天「粗用」,兼且

Blowing in the wind

一定要記住這一天
一定要記下這一天的感覺
一定要記住我們在一起的時光
還有我們這五個月的努力
儘管這是我們人生中最黑暗的一天
可是我們也見證了人性的光輝
謝謝您給過我們的希望


The Fungshui Gamble

Coming back from a day trip to Macau with my friends, what a crazy, fun, appetite-filling and blessed journey.

Calling this city the Republic of Gambling is so politically correct. Jasper is right: the number of casinos there is comparable with the 7-11s here in Hong Kong. Though (luckily) none of us went for gambling, it is hard not to get drown by the sea of chips and poker cards.

Whenever linked to luck, everything become intimately related to fungshui. The

[電影]-酷馬(fantôme, où es-tu? )

【酷馬】

酷馬正在從這世界上消失。他被迎面飛來的機車大鎖正面擊中。行兇的少年糖果被關在拘留所中。凶狠的片刻過後,等待判刑的少年跟孤魂野鬼一樣寂寞。
糖果瘋狂攻擊的畫面成了酷馬最後的記憶,這是他跟實體世界唯

網誌小詩

我在這個網誌上寫的小詩(放於右上角「詩為心畫」下),隔幾天便更新,有些朋友說希望可以看到那些較舊的。我現在就貼在這裏,並放在右邊「自鳴得意」一欄(還有更好的形容詞嗎?),以後會不時更新。大家如有興趣重

One aspect of getting used to modern version control

I've spent a very long time using RCS as a sysadmin. In that time,certain things about how it works have just gotten ingrained in myhindbrain, to the level where I don't think about them consciously;they just are. Now that we're slowly moving away from RCS and to modernversion control systems, I sometimes wind up running into bits ofthis that are no longer true, where I have to let how stuff works inmodern version control gradually soak into my mind until old


Keyword expansion: why RCS rewrites files when you commit them

Given my previous entry , you mightwonder why RCS does such a crazy thing as deleting and recreate fileswhen you just make a commit (in RCS terms, a checkin) when modernversion control systems don't do this. The answer turns out to be prettysimple: keyword expansion. Specifically, that RCS supports keywordexpansion and modern version control systems don't.

RCS has a feature where you can embed magic keywords in your sourcecode that are automatically expanded to various pieces of informationwhen RCS checks out
