剛從今期TIME Magazine讀到這篇有趣的文章，話說德國某小鎮，有熱心市民認為入夜後街燈長開其實有點兒浪費能源，於是便主動接洽政府及相關部門，想出了用這個On Demand啟動街燈的方法，即是說，當你行到那裡，街燈才開到那裡。

我為什麼這樣懶
自從香港全面禁煙，我就開始抽煙。從前我不在香港抽煙，香港沒有抽煙的情調。可是，特區政府那家長式的訓令，卻令我感到自己突然多了十個阿媽，嘮嘮叨叨，假定你連應否吸煙都無法決斷，當你低能。有這種愚民政策，才
看鄧小宇有感
我與鄧小宇的一個共同點: 可能都曾經愛吃羅宋餐.
小時候, 在黑漆漆的餐廳吃西餐是奢華享受. 羅宋湯、牛油麵包, 一道道菜吃下去... 長大後不怎對鋸扒再有濃厚興趣, 反而小朋友時代極度討厭的中菜, 卻樂於接受. (可

The basics of ssh's connection sharing feature
Vaguely recent versions of OpenSSH have a feature where you can havemultiple independent sessions running over what is actually oneconnection, even though you ran several separate ssh commands. Theprimary advantage this offers is that new ssh sessions startsignificantly faster, since they don't have to go through all of thecryptography and authentication of a full ssh connection. (As a sidebenefit, there's fewer processes running on either side, since you nolonger need a ssh and an sshd for each active session.)

A rule for Internet software
Here is one of the general rules for Internet software:
You cannot count on other people not screwing up.
(You can barely count on you not screwing up.)
Any time you talk to the Internet, you have to assume that someday,the other end will do something that it isn't supposed to by thespecification. People are endlessly creative, which means that sooneror later someone will get pretty much anything wrong that it's possibleto get wrong; for example, they will use permanent HTTP
A feature that I wish Linux package managers had
One of the things that I wish Linux package managers like yum and Apthad was a convenient way of retrieving the original, stock version ofsome file and optionally reinstalling it into its original place. I'dexpect (and wouldn't mind) that this would require re-downloading theoriginal package that the file came from (and thus it was restrictedto packages that were still in the package repository and hadn't beenobsoleted and removed by some more recent package).

神呀
現在是早上七時多，當然，不是剛起床，是還未睡。
剛剛寫完蘋果的稿，就獎勵自己吃點甜。
拿出了那包八千里路雲和月才來到手中的waffles，邊吃邊看你們的網誌。
吃罷第一片，很好吃丫，也就讓自己再吃一片，然後，又一片。

爭氣不爭氣
偶然在吵吵鬧鬧的社情民意中冷靜下來，不難發現有很多事情是面目模糊，似是而非，古靈精怪，有時甚至會讓人感到害怕，甚至惶恐。
那些事情可能關乎我們的前途，甚至影響到下一代的發展，但人們就是有本事不關心，不了

荒廢但沒有止息
七月看了三次醫生，吃了好多藥，第四次突發眩暈時，暗裡覺得是因為之前的藥在身體裡自己打架，就不肯再看醫生。到現在，還是經常昏，雖然不像那一次整個世界向左後方捲皺起來那樣不能直立，但一旦沒有聚精會神地將整
