像我學生的小鬼,快要結婚了


號稱後輩的小鬼今天跑來說他快要結婚了。

真是嚇了我一跳,這小朋友像我學生一樣,這麼快就結婚,可說是超出我的想像。

當然我馬上又感到由衷的高興,也馬上就想眼前的早已不是小朋友,是可以依靠的男人了。

A Unix annoyance

Unix: where you have to escape command line arguments twice, oncefrom the shell and once from the program.

I dearly love Unix, but I am forced to admit that every so often ithas what I can only describe as 'robot logic'; things that areperfectly logical, but not to normal humans. For example, consider thefun of trying to remove a file called something like " -Brad Foo ".

$ rm -Brad Foorm: invalid option -- B$ rm "-Brad

聖誕卡


今天收到展鵬請朋友轉送給我的聖誕卡,雖然是遲來,卻充滿溫暖,他在卡內寫上滿滿的文字,想不到在這個年代仍然有這種信重文字的人,更想不到有人仍會一筆一筆寫信給朋友的心思。

展鵬,你的祝福我都收到了,謝謝你。

夕陽之歌


雀仔園那家遠盛影視有大量港產舊片DVD,每套20元,我覺得可以接受,(我知道拱北翻版每隻8至10元,但提起過關我就怕)隨意買了一些,其中包括這張《英雄本色3之夕陽之歌》。

A digression on spelling

One of the things that writing WanderingThoughts has been good for isgiving me a good exposure to all of the spelling mistakes I makeroutinely.

(Unfortunately I don't know enough linguistics to know what theyare, or if anyone's ever studied the field.)

死亡筆記真人電影

在網上看到 消息 ,原來《死亡筆記》要拍真人版電影,會分開兩個部份:由開始到四葉篇的故事,和描寫月和L對決的原創故事。我對日本青年偶象不太認識,所以演員方面都比較陌生:藤原龍也演夜神月,松山健一演L。記憶


Why case independent filenames are a bad idea

People keep pushing the idea of case independent filenames (andmocking systems without them), but the whole idea has three bigproblems: case conversion is a lot more complicated than people think,locking a character set encoding into your OS damages its ability toevolve, and case folding is language specific .
