今年大學人文學中心（Humanities Center）的主題是 "Chance"，今天下午有一個演講，是主題活動之一，請了兩位數學系的教授來講解概率的歷史和一些有趣的概率問題（包括我曾介紹過的 Monty Hall Problem ）。演講的內容沒有甚麼特別，倒是有個小插曲

The most important thing I do to deal with my email is that I am noton any high-volume mailing lists. As far as I'm concerned, that's what gmane.org (or some equivalent) is for, plus agood newsreader. I sometimes temporarily subscribe to such mailinglists, but only when I'm going to send email to them. This one decisionmeans that I don't need a mail environment that's designed to cope witha huge volume of email,

A reaction to Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica episode 10

Roving Thoughts | March 11, 2011, 12:18 a.m. | Original

It's not exactly a spoiler that Magica has been a fairly dark show(and if it is a spoiler, it's the kind of spoiler you should know).However, episode 10 leaves me feeling more optimistic about the showhaving a happy ending, not because of anything in the plot of episode10 but instead for thematic and structural reasons.

Best Practices and Tips for In-App iPhone or iPod Touch UIWebView Browsers

Or... "Best Practices of In-App Web Browsers"
