過去兩三個月，我一直在心大心細，考慮著應不應該買 Sony NEX-5 ，最近看完這個廣告，我又真的心動了多一點，我想，這就是所謂廣告的效應吧。
一般邏輯你會認為電子產品是理性消費，廣告中對產品解釋得愈清楚愈好，但其實
聖人
甚麼是聖人？我從來也搞不清楚。宗教講的聖人還容易理解一點，這裏的所謂「聖」，應該是「神聖」的意思；比一般人接近神很多、甚至沾有神的屬性或靈氣或甚麼的，就是聖人。這種聖人當然是優越的極少數，不過，倒不知
Another reason to hate $LANG and locales on Unix
Sometimes I'm slow; only recently did it occur to me how the $LANG sort misfeature and GNU comm's misfeature combine in an orgy of annoyance in a heterogenousenvironment.
Suppose that you have systems that changed their default localebetween operating system versions. As part of routine processing , you use comm to get the difference betweensomething on the local system and a global list. Well, oops. Even if youcarefully use sort on both versions, you are going to have problems.

德州撲克之夜
作為一個被中環蹂躪過的女人，我很珍惜自己殘存的一點純真。Well，「純真」這兩個字用在我Daisy身上，無疑是一種黑色幽默，可是我的而且確也有純真的時候。譬如說，當我的上司Eric跟我說第一千七百六十九次：「Daisy，你知我遲
窒息
肥人和瘦人的分別是，瘦人會歧視、嘲笑、作弄、侮辱體型稍胖的人，肥人一般不會看瘦人不順眼。
瘦人面對肥人時，會很有優越感，會覺得很自豪，會忍不住要說些話做些事傷害一下肥人，而且，大多數人都會認為這是正常的
Mamiya 645 pro tl+mamiya 80 1.9+樂凱100黑白
上次上廣州和狄少買了不少菲林，樂凱是中國的一個菲林品牌，英文名lucky。
手上的這卷是120的黑白片，一回來就急不及待地放入了mamiya 645 pro tl入面試機，試機鏡頭是mamiya 80mm f1.9 sekor。
造形簡單，雖是1.9大光圈，但
Totem
Watched the stunning Inception with Landico the second time. After the mind-drilling Memento, Chris Nolan pushed his art in storytelling to a master level, and again consumed all my brain glucose within this 150 minutes. Absolutely, best movie in 2010 so far.
The second time in theatre doesnt make the film dull, knowing the plot, I enjoyed the movie with much more appreciation to the fine details. This time what catches me is the role of the spinning Totem throughout the story. It

家庭 • 自由
老婆回來了。一去兩星期，遊上海世博，到廣州探望好朋友，在香港陪母親和購物。我問：「此行好玩嗎？」她說：「好玩得很！還未玩夠呢！最享受那種獨來獨往的自由。」接著竟還說：「我以後要每年自己出外旅遊一次，或
A sudden realization about Unix access time updates and disk mirrors
I have a small confession: we have only recently turned off file accesstime updates on our fileservers . Whileturning off atime is one of the most common pieces of advicefor how to speed up overall filesystem performance (see here for oneexplanation why), we haven't felt that our filesystems were particularlyslow and sysadmins famously have a lot of inertia.
(What spurred me into action was being exposed to a bunch of stuff onZFS performance tuning, which caused me to start thinking again aboutsome long-
Satisfaction
The difference between surgeons and physicians is so much that you can basically put them in two species. Physicians are teased as boring impractical philosophers, while surgeons are primitives who work in reflexes.
I guess this forever-ongoing accusations originate from our different source of satisfaction.
Surgeons are powerful, they diagnose, investigate and CURE. Who would not be amazed after surviving from a Whipple operation? It is simply amazing to every patient who has been bombarded by bad news of cancer, while being treated completely under surgeons' hands.
