光榮的敗家仔


我承認,我係一個極度有問題嘅敗家仔。

我承認,每隔一段日子,我就會發作。

我自己都知,再咁搞落去,真係會好唔掂。

不過我都唔想架,係佢哋逼我呀,書店大減價呀,咁我迷迷糊糊就入咗去,然後,成個銀包d錢唔見哂,

Automated web software should never fill in the Referer header

Yesterday, I noticed that Yahoo Pipes does a really irritating thing: ifsomeone has asked it to pull a syndication feed, it puts the Yahoo Pipesinfo page about the feed into the Referer header of its feed requests.

Wrong .

I feel very strongly that no automated web software should fill inthe Referer header, ever. In practice and custom (if not in thespec), Referer has a very well defined meaning; it is there to tellwebmasters where a real human visitor came from. If you do


「阿甘正傳」大結局之「一鋪清袋」

醜聞永遠都是好看的,只要主角不是自己。但這部「阿甘正傳」播了兩星期,我已經在打呵欠了。For god's sake,他是甘乃威,又不是甘迺迪!整件事其實簡單得很,並不涉及任何智力活動。Boring。


甘乃威不過是個身痕的小男人,晉

The Salesianum (Rome, Italy)

After a couple days in the Salesianum, a retreat house / hotel / resort-ish place located 30 minutes west of Rome, I've been able to explore most of the main areas, and have been impressed and unimpressed... 'whelmed' and 'underwhelmed,' as it were.

Starting with some of the best... most of the General Chapter will be held in the 'aula magna,


A tale of network horror, or at least excitement

(This story comes from my co-worker John Calvin, who told it to me someyears ago; I was reminded of it by some recent local events, so it seemslike a good time to put it here.)

One of the things that the central computing people here can do fordepartments is run their basic networking infrastructure, the switchesand wiring and so on. Once upon a time, such a managed departmentalswitch started lighting up the monitoring system with repeated, frequentcontact failures; when the monitoring


享受我們的傑作

有些朋友從來沒有去過露營,也表明過不喜歡露營。說得也對,三十幾度潮濕天氣,徒步五六個小時由馬路進入營地,經過大大小小不同山岳,風景越壯觀代表腳程越艱辛,好不容易到了營地,其實只是睡過一晚,第二天又要走

Communicating on the Go - A Guide to Traveling and Staying in Touch

In late 2009, I spent about two and a half weeks in Rome, Italy, which is far removed from my hometown of St. Louis, MO. Italy, France, Asia, etc. – all these countries are outside of AT&T's nationwide coverage plans, and since I wasn't going to be traveling for many weeks, I decided to not sign up for AT&T's extremely expensive worldwide plans, but rather did the following, which allowed me to stay


Buonanotte da Roma!

(Title, translated: " Good night, from Rome! ")

Many new experiences every day. Greetings from the eternal city! After having been in the city that never sleeps a few weeks ago, it's quite nice to be in a more or less quiet but beautiful place!

Some of the first Roman air I breathed - Alitalia 777 Airplane Engine

Some of the first Roman air in which I breathed. Tasted good!

I hopped off the Alitalia flight into the Fiumicino (FCO) airport, straight onto the tarmac. Hadn't done that from an airliner the size


lady First 專欄(62)- 愛情感覺

如果要你去形容愛情嘅面貌,解釋愛情,你會點講呢?

有人話愛情係天長地久嘅,係細水長流嘅,王子同公主從此以後幸福快樂咁生活落去就係愛情。

亦都有人話愛情係不顧後果嘅,係死去活來嘅,要流好多好多眼淚,先可以成

防曬粉底,最啱女殭屍

近年又Twilight又True Blood,幾乎以摩登吸血殭屍為題材的電影電視小說都總有市場,這令我想起當年(差不多十年前),我曾經在泰國看過的這條電視廣告。

唔講得笑,第一次看時,我真的O了咀,唔識反應,你會覺得,究竟邊個客可以
