Not Real - Move on with your Life

From a friend's blog post on Avatar :

People applauded at the end of the film, which I found a bit disturbing. Visually, it was awesome. But we just saw humanity slaughtered on an alien planet. We just saw the greed of humanity at its worst. We just saw a terrible spirituality exalted as ideal. And, finally, we just saw the remnant of the humans sent back “to their dying planet,” and we cheered.

No wonder people feel depressed after stepping out


怕黑

我不怕鬼,卻怕黑。我怕的黑,不是停電時全屋沒有光,也不是深山野嶺月黑風高,而是真真正正徹徹底底完完全全的黑。其實,這種黑我只在很多年前經驗過一次,但到現在仍記憶猶新,絕不想再試。

Different visions of what packaging systems are for

I think I should write down one of my background views on what packagingsystems are for, and what jobs they do, because there are competing (orsomewhat clashing) visions about what is within their scope.

One view is that the job of a packaging system is more or less confinedto properly installing, removing, and upgrading packages. This need notexclude things like apt-get ; if you take a broad view of 'installingpackages', this can easily include fetching packages and dependenciesover the Internet.


你袋裏有槍 我手中有筆

你袋裏有槍      我手中有筆

我做了一個夢。在夢裏,我看見一班細路去菜園村露營,生了個火圍跳舞。有個笨蛋路過,以為火燭,奮不顧身撲去救火,一盆水澆了下去,他媽的怎麼原來是油?煙霧彌漫,讓我在夢裏咳嗽得死去活來

除了村上春樹,每個人心中都有屬於自己的1Q84。

有不喜歡隨波逐流的朋友嗤之以鼻地狠批,讀村上春樹小說的,九成是為了趕潮流。

但如果因為趕潮流而令很多人會拿起一本書來讀,一定是一件好事多過壞事,至少我是這樣認為的。

如果我是電視台

照現在形勢看來, 四大和無線根本已經到了"無得傾"的地步(我覺得除非無線見到四大上亞視和其他電視台對自身的damage,否則不會有計傾).

四大歌手以廣東話接受有線訪問, 證明了他們不怕違反與無線的歌星合約.
雖說是違

This is going to be the best Drupal release to date, for two reasons:
