讀過藤子不二雄的<異色短篇集>，就會驚訝為甚麼身處那個年代的他，可以畫得出如此超脫的題材，想法如此獨特，並不只是天馬行空而欠缺深思屬慮，一篇又一篇的挑戰人性，鞭笞人性的醜惡如此例牌之餘，亦會反省
An update on comment spammer behavior here on WanderingThoughts
I last wrote about comment spammer behavior ( plus ) and my comment spam precautions back in 2007. Three years is almost aneternity in Internet time, so I figure it's about time for an update onthe comment spam situation here.
These days, by far my single most effective anti-comment-spam precautionis my invisible honeypot text field. Comment spam robots appear to beutterly robotic about filling in any text field they can see, or atleast any text field that appears to be
無根？
昨晚跟一個以前的學生喝啤酒，他兩三年前畢業後到德國讀碩士，讀的是neuroscience，這個暑假重回小鎮家鄉住幾個月，之後便會再到德國繼續長住，讀博士去也。他似乎頗喜歡德國的生活，打算拿到博士學位後便留下找工作；他現在已
How Secure is Your Password?
My highest-level password (I have about 8 levels of passwords, memorized, then a couple levels that are even higher than the password below, but which I haven't memorized, so I can't use them that often):
三毛最傷心的一百句話
1.用一轉身離開，用一輩子去忘記。。。。

4.諾言的「諾」字和誓言的「
七一前絮語
蒼井空：「其實我倒想反過來問問大家，為什麼我要停止AV工作？身邊很多人問我這個問題。我因為拍AV才有了今天，沒有停止的理由。持續力，持續就是力量。」 所以水滸說得好，宋江是不該投降的，民主黨是不應投降政改(
There is such a thing as too much SQL (a reminder to myself)
This is a very small war story.
I've spent part of today working on generating some reports from our IPtraffic accounting system. We have multiple internal networks that getNAT'd out different gateways, and what we want is a report (or a set ofreports) of the topindividual traffic sources for each gateway that did more than a certainamount of aggregate traffic in the day.
Our traffic accounting data is held in a PostgreSQL database. Since atypical day has around six to eight million records
Converting between IPv4 addresses and 32-bit integers in Python
When you write code that deals with IPv4 addresses, every so oftenyou wind up in situations where you want to convert addresses inconventional text form to unsigned 32-bit integers and manipulatethem in various ways (and then convert the results back to normalnotation). This is something I've been dealing with recently , so I've been working on this today.
Python doesn't have any standard library functions that directly dothese conversions. You can write your own code for this (but
破碎的擁抱
Broken Embraces 在香港譯成《情婦的情夫》而不依原名譯為《破碎的擁抱》，我認為是相當離譜的低劣手筆，簡直不可原諒。
西班牙大導演 艾慕度華 （Pedro Almodovar，一譯阿莫多瓦）這齣愛情片的確拍出深情，也拍出深度，我一直以來都喜歡他的作
