The problem with overly verbose package installation

We just applied a kernel update to all of our Ubuntu LTS machines. Thisis a quite verbose process; on the machine I captured logs for, itproduces no less than 40 lines of status output (and another 14 linesbefore things start installing). And this count understates thingsbecause some of those are very long lines that wrap around on any realterminal.

(The kernel updating was done with ' apt-get install ... '.)

I'm sure that the authors of the


Nice! (Two Cameras and a Killer Lens Combo)

The kit I'll be wearing at the Deaconate Ordination Mass this coming Saturday. Afterwards, I'll run to the back chapel, where I'll snap some shots with the D3 and a nice kit of SB-26 remote flashes!

Nikon D3 and D90 with 70-200mm VR and 50mm 1.4

Is anyone selling a used D3 for cheap? I gotta get me one of these cameras!

失魂鳥命不該絕

我家的飯廳被窗三面環圍,中間兩塊玻璃特大,直望出後園,可以一邊吃飯一邊賞樹。後園不時有雀鳥出沒,或停歇,或覓食,其中冠藍鴉最多,羽毛薰衣草藍間著點點白色,煞是好看,飛行的姿態也美。

有一天,幾個朋友到我

Vibrator...

從來是平價Mascara的粉絲,上機落機上機落機,話咁快乾晒,一兩個月就得換一支。

幾百元那些,唔捨得買,食咗佢好過。

所以,好幾個品牌都出過的震震Mascara,我心動,但沒勇氣拿出錢包。

記敘

我為了她推掉了一些可有可無的活動。

我每日放工後都會去見她。

每日見她之前,我會在駕車期間構思今日應該跟她談些什麼。

見到她的時候,我會盡量保持歡笑。

這個地方的制度時鬆時嚴,但老是要求我們單獨見面。

她老是說


One reason why 'zpool status' can hang

The ' zpool status ' command is infamous for stallingand hanging exactly when you need it the most, namely when something isgoing wrong with your system. I've recently run down one reason why itdoes this.

The culprit is my old friend ZFS GUIDs . Informationabout disks involved in ZFS pools includes both their GUIDs and theirtheoretical device paths. When ' zpool status ' prints out the userfriendly shortened device names, it doesn't just take the theoreticalpath and trim most things off to get the


關鍵字主義

如果你問,今日香港學生最大的學習問題是甚麼,那就是對關鍵字(keyword)的崇拜。

「關鍵字」最明顯對學習的傷害就是「妨礙思考」。舉個例子,如果我說「要評論參拜靖國神社的行為」,那麼生在香港的每位學生,都自然會想

鋼琴王子伴奏陳奕迅演繹陀飛輪

我對「陀飛輪」這首陳奕迅的新歌既愛又恨,Eason的演繹已洗煉得滿溢不可思議的感染力,句句窩心,大旋律寫得漂亮得無話可說,歌詞我有七成(卻不是全首)喜歡,但一細心留意編曲,我便會聽得很「掹蹭」,哎喲哎喲。
