哲學與自殺

有個跟我頗老友的同事,徵詢我對一事的意見。他有一個住在加拿大的朋友,多年不見,但一直保持聯絡;早兩天收到她的電郵,說她最近看了一些尼采的東西,十分喜歡,尤其是他的虛無思想,問我的同事可否介紹另一些觀點

ZFS resilvers are a whole-pool activity

In a conventional RAID system with a RAID array that's made up frommultiple mirrors, mirror resynchronization is a single-mirror affair.Other mirrors in the array are not affected. This is not how ZFS works.

One of the consequences of ZFS scrubs and resilvers being nonlinear is that resilvers do not neatly confine theiractivity to only the disks of the vdev being resilvered. Instead, ZFSmay need to traverse data structures that live in other vdevs in orderto find out what data is live on the resilvering vdev


Huawei IDEOS是Google Nexus One的Mini-me?

實不相瞞,向來我對 Huawei(華為) 這品牌之神秘背景,可能遠超於其產品。作為世界五大通訊設備企業之一,加上CEO任非正的軍人背景,以及此企業的「部隊式」管理文化,難以令不少三姑六婆如我者,對「華為是否與解放軍有關

無腦夜

碰巧最近見有 blog 在討論 Smartphone 的成本、方便,與及自製需求的 問題 ,想起最近的生活。因為話說小弟家最近裝修,暫時搬到其他地方住,晚上沒有電腦可用。

起初還覺得要找個辦法,所以看了一下 3G 手指上網的價格,但因為又不太

...as we are newly married! We'll be heading off to our honeymoon for the next week, but I guarantee there will be some great blog posts soon thereafter. Natalie and I are so excited to share some of the process of preparing for our wedding and our marriage in the coming months, both here, and on our wedding website, geerlingguyandgirl.com .


那把刀,從來沒有放下

張純如的書曾經帶給我極大震撼。震撼我的不止她的書,而是她「有什麼必要」去寫那些書。
三十六歲那年,張純如吞槍自殺。一個能寫出The Rape of Nanking的鬥士,究竟是什麼會令她放棄生命?我翻到書的背後,那黑白照片上的張純如

Cockroach

Few years back, I learned from Time magazine that a KitKat bar isn't the same all over the planet; a Russian KitKat is smaller than a Bulgarian one, and the chocolate isn't as sweet as in a German one. The Nescafé instant coffee won't taste the same everywhere, too. There are around 200 different types of Nescafé , including the "three-in-one" sachets that we buy locally.

If the ice cream, tomato soup, chocolate – and

近來很喜歡的—— 《Girls Just Want to Have Fun》

“Girls Just Want to Have Fun”是一首歌。

知道這首歌的存在,是因為中譯版的歌詞,第一次從亦舒的小說上看到,立即深深愛上 。

至於旋律嘛,八十年代的輕快風格,現在聽到,你或會覺得老土,但歌詞真的好到肉的——

我愛大耳牛

天氣開始逐漸轉涼,又到了可以將我的入耳式耳塞收入櫃筒,讓我的大耳牛耳筒出場的時候。

耳筒又會和天氣有關?這個當然,大熱天時,不要說是大耳牛,就連一般中型的頭戴式耳筒,我戴起上來也一定會馬想變成蒙古皇帝打

How to Make Chai Tea Mix (for delicious Chai Tea Latte)

A recent project on which I spent many hours required the production of many gallons of Chai Tea Latté Mix; After enjoying a few cups of this extremely tasteful drink, I thought I'd post the recipe I used here, as well as a few notes for the mixing directions which will help point you in the right direction.

Chai Tea Mix Recipe - Ingredients

(You probably won't need quite this quantity of ingredients. Not pictured: the dry milk powder.)

The key to the mix is to make it really, really smooth
