A Unix shell glob trick

This is the kind of trick where first I show the trick and then I explainit:

$ touch a-b; mkdir a-c$ cd a-*sh: cd: a-b: Not a directory$ cd a-*/$ pwd/tmp/a-c

吊頸要抖氣, 忙到無命嘔

忙到嘔, 人人都識講. 這次我做到了.

手沒有停下來, 腦筋沒有靜過來. 飯沒有心情吃, 水沒有心思喝, 玩笑沒有心情開. 一大堆文件數據, 像催命符, 不僅要勾我三魂七魄, 還要掏盡肉體內的精力.

暫時鬆一口氣, 胃中一股悶

易玩難玩

在 Youtube 上看到 一個評論 ,說到新的《波斯王子》成功地改善了一些遊戲體驗。雖然我覺得他用錯例子,但還算說得有點道理。

他說到遊戲的難度,往往不是太難,而是太煩。例如玩家在某一環節上失敗了,就得重頭由上個存點開始


The ufsdump block size doesn't seem to matter much

Some time ago I discovered that the Linux dump block size can make asignificant performance difference . Ever sincethen I had in the back of my mind to find out if the same thing was trueon other systems, with other versions of dump ,and recently I got around to doing some experimentation on Solaris.

In the spirit of sharing negative results as well as positive ones: no,it doesn't seem to. I got a modest performance increase by specifying a b value greater than the default of 64

First, there should be an option to apply the current updates for thenew distro version as part of the upgrade process, or at least todownload them all in advance so that when I reboot and immediately do a yum update , I do not then have to sit around as my machine downloadsanother gigabyte.


假如我是假的

今天看到一個消息說,原來早前大熱的跳舞肥仔影片 Where the hell is Matt? 是假的,還要是 Matt 本人在一個會議演講上 親自踢爆 。如果這是真的 1 ,那麼 Matt 的影片就真的體現到互聯網其中個特質:虛假的消息和真心的網民。

Doc 2.0

My boss showed me his recent discussion with one of the chair professors concerning our patient last weekend. It was not very long – or, I should say, deceptively simple.

"Thank you for asking me to see Mr. X. We did review him on daily basis. As a matter of fact, the blood test requested today was not yet received and hence the parameters are all as yesterday."

"Thanks for your information. I am sure he is in good hands but the patient is very concerned.
