Fvwm as a window manager construction kit

I've mentioned in the past that I use fvwmas my window manager. However, that doesn't tell you as much as youmight think about what my environment looks like because fvwm is notso much a window manager as a window manager construction kit, in muchthe same way that exim is not a mailer but a mailer construction kit .

Historically (and currently) there have been (at least) two sorts ofwindow managers for X. The first sort is more or less fixed windowmanagers such

無恥!

早前有個人(沒有獨立思維的 扯線人偶也算是"人" )很有禮貌, 很 誠懇地以電郵邀請我做訪問 , 探討某種社會現象. 我初步接受後不久覺得事有可疑, 所以婉拒 . 但這個無恥的人非常客氣地 send了5條訪問問題 來, 說只會

又又又八十後

實在厭倦世代論,天天標籤八十後,你疲倦不疲倦?有些人會贊同,但是我並非認同是社會的標籤錯了,或是八十後並不如社會和傳媒的印象,那些甚麼懶散員工、無能大學生或是激進份子,只是小部份人云云。我厭倦這種標籤

What's Up!

喜歡這首歌
多數人只會記得聲嘶力竭大叫what's going on?

相信和忘記

我在知識論這科的指定讀物裏,每次都包括了 Bernard Williams 的著名文章 "Deciding to Believe",因為此文討論了知識論裏好幾個重要的課題,而且 Williams 的論點都深入兼有趣。文章的結尾比較了以下兩者:

Email has two faces today

I've recently realized something about email. In the modern world,email has become at least two applications in one. Email has becomeboth an internal communication system and an external communicationsystem, where 'internal' and 'external' are not necessarily based onorganizational boundaries but are also a matter of a trusted circle ofregular correspondents.

(I'd argue that this split exists even if your job involves dealingwith the outside world. Email from your boss is still at least somewhatdifferent from email from customers


想起死亡

談到生命,我就想起死亡,他倆就像親兄弟,這個跟那個是分不開的。以前有一科叫做生死學,整個課程都在研究甚麼是死亡、人類該如何看待死亡、與及既然死亡何必生存。而最最常見的一種態度,就是當人面對死亡時,就會

何謂「天才」?

知道Peter Jackson 要將The Hobbit 拍成電影的時候,我興奮得馬上動手寫這篇文章。對於我這種懶惰的人,「馬上動手寫」並不尋常。一想到要拍成電影,小說裏那坐在火爐邊喝熱湯的小矮人,又活生生的出現在我的腦海了。

我平日頂多只是名social drinker,愛酒但不嗜酒,常喝的都是一紅一白一黑,即紅酒白酒黑啤,對於雞尾酒嘛,總覺得糖水混酒這玩意太乸型,小生怕怕。

但誰知,某天酒痴同事L試過 VNC 這加冰即飲的雞尾酒,竟然也讚不絕口,並且向我
