不知為甚麼,身邊的朋友,獨居女子並不多。

或是跟家人同住,方便家人照顧。(是的,不是方便照顧家人 -___-)

Moving Scheduler Module's 'Scheduling Options' Out of the Vertical Tabs in D7

...or, "Always Check Your Module Weights when form_alter'ing"

Scheduling options from Scheduler module

I spent about half an hour today trying to use hook_form_alter() to move the 'Scheduling options' fieldset (provided by the Scheduler module) out of my node form's vertical tabs (down where URL path settings, comment settings, etc. are jumbled together).

I couldn't even see the 'scheduler_settings' form settings when I looked at the form's array,


李宇春《会跳舞的文艺青年》----- 這世界本來就不應存在常規!
























會跳舞的文藝青年
作曲:李宇春
填詞:李宇春

白襯衫配方格還是小圓點
最怕填這種二選一的考卷
也許不專一的天性太明顯
才會被人家批評優柔寡斷

﹡陽光打電話抱怨心情很煩
他說因為突然間愛上了下雨天
這種愛情聽起來無稽之談

世紀婚禮廣告巡禮

威廉王子與凱特的一場世紀婚禮,除了成為了各大媒體爭相報導的焦點外,當然還有各大爭相「抽水」的商業機構,他們紛紛以A貨B貨C貨的威廉凱特人版作招徠,若形神相似得太過份,純屬巧合。

上星期大學裏有大大小小的畢業禮,其中一個是亞裔學生的畢業禮,我和同事 K 答應替他們舞獅助興。K 已和我合作過一次,這次也是我舞獅頭,他舞獅尾。然而,這次的場地很不同,是個設計有點特別的劇場,觀眾席和舞台之

An aside on RAID-5/RAID-6 and disk failures

In light of yesterday's entry , one mightsensibly ask why RAID-5 (or RAID-6) systems don't try harder to limpalong after enough disks fail. In my view, the short answer is thatthe RAID systems are lazy.

Most RAID-N systems do not bother trying to verify the data on read;if the disk does not report a read error, they just give the datato you. Thus, even if they lost enough disks to become nominallynon-functional,
