專欄的難度


明天又要交稿
我還可以寫什麼(而不覺得無聊)
陷入嚴重的創作困境
重看2005年寫過的專欄文字(都很無聊)
在公司修改了40頁文件
有點害怕再碰中文字
只想把汽車內的音樂開到最大聲
像報復似的聽陳綺貞“慢歌3”

An interesting IDE to SATA migration problem

A coworker here ran into a novel problem migrating a system from an IDEdisk to a SATA disk: he ran out of partitions. He had 16 partitions onthe IDE disk, and on Linux you can only have 15 partitions on a SATAdrive. (Fortunately he found a partition he didn't really need.)

On the surface, this limitation is because SATA drives on Linux areconsidered to be SCSI disks , and all SCSI diskscan only have 15 partitions. Of course, that just


錯配

冷雨敲窗不可聽。挑燈夜讀牡丹亭。人間亦有癡於我。傷心豈獨是小青。——馮小青

現在這個時刻,該是看《華蓋集》的,但手上只有重刻舊版的《朝花夕拾》。看過自然頹喪不堪,冷雨、挑燈這些意象都來了。若屋裡有一扇窗

人生苦悶,奇文共賞

網上輾轉傳來一篇浸會大學學生會外務副會長的講辭,查將於學聯周年大會上宣讀。人生苦悶,難得好文,不禁要與眾同樂。 浸大的朋友尤其應要格外留意,因為有人如此令你們的學校蒙羞。 此文充斥一種 當明星的虛榮心 態,對

腐朽和期待


我第一次寫小說而不存底稿立心跟這個小說決裂了
可能因為寫到中期電腦硬盤壞了之前的章節都消失了
找不回之前的線也找不回設定的結局
這一次破紀錄的寫了五百多天該有三十五萬字
可惜又一次浪費了心血和時間

原來寫作可以

只知道此刻愛妳


結婚之後,男人是否都會覺得太太很煩?

女人,則會感應到丈夫的冷淡。

這是真的。

大家都不明白為甚麼會這樣,總覺得有點不對勁,但又不能具體地說明出了甚麼問題。

初時會以為是自己做得不夠好,漸漸又會懷疑是對方態度

Fun with control characters and the web

Yesterday, I broke WanderingThoughts ' syndication feeds (and madethe main page not validate). I did this by accidentally putting a ^Dcharacter into an entry ; oneof the editors I use makes this unfortunately easy to do by accident,and hard to spot.

Neither HTML 4.01 Transitional nor XML (which the Atom syndicationformat is a dialect of) allow control characters (apart from tabs(and linefeeds)). A lot of things are forgiving of crappy HTML, butthings that eat Atom

節同時異,我勞如何

其實我有很多文章想寫,但
還是應節吧。

〈寫給別人〉  夏宇

我在他的手心上寫字筆劃繁複
到成其為勾引而且還寫錯了
又擦掉重寫一橫一豎
一捺一撇勾勒摩擦引他
進入一個象形皮筏裏我把
皮筏的氣放掉我們沉入
湖裏我說我愛你

An advantage of using a non-standard shell

One of the surprising advantages of using a completely non-standardshell (in my case, Byron Rakitzis' Unix version of rc ) is all of the things that are not automatically set up for you by modern systems. As someone I read found out recently ,these days this includes colourized ls listings, colourizedsuper-intelligent vi , and so on.

(I might not mind colourization so much if it paid any attention to whatthe baseline terminal colours were, but I haven't seen that happen yet.
