我是一個沒儀態的空姐

我得承認,

我是一個非常非常沒儀態的空姐。

我將以一程long haul flight來闡述我有多不堪。

1. 其他空姐總是很優雅的拖著一大一小overnight bag/suitcase,慢慢走向巴士站。但小女子對於操控行李篋的手柄及方向有先天性缺陷,假如你在街上看到

I ♥ Fedora Extras

The more I use Fedora Core 5, the more I've fallen in love with FedoraExtras. (I skipped straight from FC2 to FC5 and FCE came in with FC3, sothis is the first time I've gotten to use it.)

This love is kind of silly, because Fedora Extras is not much more thanFedora catching up to Debian et al in having available a vast amountof prebuilt software. But boy is it convenient to have all that stuffaround, ready to dip

A reason to read blogs in reverse chronological order

I've finally found a good use for reading blogs in the reversechronological order that everyone (even syndication feed readers)defaults to.

For various reasons, I am way behind in reading the syndication feedsthat I (nominally) follow. In this situation, reverse chronologicalorder turns out to be great for cherry-picking the current news andgetting a quick sense of any important recent developments.

A Python quoting irritation

I was writing code today where I needed to turn a single backslash('\') into two backlashes ('\\') in order to quote it (so that theshell wouldn't eat it, through a combination of annoyances). Myfirst attempt was:

s = s.replace(r"\", r"\\")

天水圍係一個應該o係Discovery Channel內存在既地方 (延續篇)

今晚,

我又再一次體會到天水圍係一個應該o係Discovery Channel內存在既地方。

就算我著住一對$2650既Ballin織皮4吋斗零high heels,

仙履奇緣都唔會出現。

因為半夜你再唔會o係街見到馬車,

你伸手可截既只係的士。

Thoughts on machine identity

One of the things my earlier entry got me thinking aboutwas how differently people can see the issue of machine identity. Or, tomake it more concrete, when do you give something a new name (even ifthe name is only in your head, not related to the OS-level hostname)?
