記憶是流動的，它在講述中見證主體當下與過去的差異。換言之，它是一個存在修改的敘述過程。我想我這麼討厭別人沒有記性，是因為失憶現象證明的是，你現在面前的這個人，已經是另一個人了。換言之，我的神經過敏，不

Why charging for things is deadly at a university

Wandering Thoughts | June 12, 2006, 1:18 a.m. | Original

There's a really simple two-part recipe for failing to create usefulubiquitous services at universities. It goes like this:

come up with an important service that should be ubiquitous.
fund it by charging its users.

素有求簽之癖，連西九、學聯、中大國際化都求過。在寶蓮寺，西九求到「棋盤大會」，中大國際化求到「唐三藏西天取經」，你都咪話唔驚。還有素來的軍事比喻姻緣簽都是城中笑料，不在話下。

The Unix Heritage Society has a nice statementof its aims on its front page, but let me skip straight to the neatbits: complete source code for early Unix versions , such as V7 andV6.

森小風波大家都有各種不同的看法，其中令我印象深刻的有這麼一句「森美小儀真正的錯誤，是在一個偽善、缺乏幽默感、以道德口號管治的城市開這個壞品味玩笑。」不談森小錯在哪裏 (也沒有什麼再好談，大家都看得非常透

清理：《賴小子》

我無法忘記電影節看的第一套戲，賈樟柯監製、韓杰導演的《賴小子》。這個名字多麼具喜劇性——與影片相比起來。韓杰看起來很像賈樟柯，矮小、衣著隨便，他重覆了好幾次：「電影並沒有給這些孩子帶來什麼改變」。或者
