人在旅途 失業

頭痛得要命! 趁木屋主人不在家,我們都睡至十一時才起床。是日女生需要清潔木屋內外的地板,男生則需要繼續掘泥路。 我在開始清潔地板前打開手機查看有沒有新的訊息,結果一打開手機,收到的第一條留言訊息竟是...

大家都有病




有一種想法,在當下的社會最容易得到認同,而且越來越普及,有人甚至以推動這種想法為己任,其具體行為是:狠批、狠批,再狠批。

只要一味挑剔﹑批評﹑標籤﹑嘲笑,並且把這個過程廣為傳播,即足以令任何人和事變得不

瘦虎肥龍爭霸戰‧五

連日來兩貓關係沒有改善, Ding Ding愈來愈惡, 蜜柑愈來愈弱, 加上主人前仆後繼先後病倒, 沒有閒情逸致理會之.

難怪Ding Ding見蜜柑一次發火一次. 蜜柑表面上示好, 暗地裡不但吃Ding Ding的貓糧, 更在她的砂盤內小便!

昨晚在書房胡亂

Wasabi

There are only two kinds of people in this world: those who believe that the earth revolves around the sun and those who act as if their babies are the centre of the universe.

Having said that, I find myself morphing inevitably from the former into someone who will monopolize conversations with boring baby topics. Simply put, "baby talk" is similar to wasabi: a little at the right time feels good, but we often overdo it. Oh, yeah, isn't this a normal reaction of becoming a

第一次坐俄羅斯白車

當我得知他們替我召了白車,我即時拒絕他們的「好意」,可是一切已來不及了。救護人員在午夜一時許抵達攀石協會,應診的是一位女醫生及一位男護士,看著他們的膠涼鞋襯白襪,我的心底不由自主的寒了一下。(好的,我

文雀出沒注意,唔覺唔覺塞錢入你袋?

平時一般電訊公司,賣廣告賣來賣去都係果三幅披,都離不開話自己點平至平特別平果隻,但TalkTalk這家英國電訊公司,最近便推出了PutPocketing這個廣告Campaign,大賣自己話:唔覺唔覺,我就會塞錢入你袋;唔會好似其他電訊公司今咁,唔覺唔


同一款裙,12款穿法。

American Apparel 最近推出了名為” Le Sac Dress ” 的連身裙系列,人地平時例牌當然係有網上產品目錄,但除了做得頗靚的網頁及模特兒示範外,更有趣的,是他們在YouTube內播放的12款不同穿法的真人示範。

我當然唔係對呢款裙有興趣啦大姐,但


生還者續集加俄羅斯白車體驗

早上十一時許,窗外正下著滂沱大雨。
正當我們都以為今天整日都可以留在Sasah朋友的屋內,好好享受短暫而美好的城市生活之時, Sasah 就走進大廳,以其雄壯的聲線宣佈了一個沒人願意聽到的消息: 我們會如期出發去 Stolby 攀石!

The problem with the CFQ IO scheduler and our iSCSI targets

Current versions of Linux have several different waysto schedule IO activity; one writeup of this is here .The developers of the iSCSI target software that we use have for some time recommended that peopleswitch away from CFQ (the default one) to either the 'deadline' or the'noop' scheduler to get better performance. Recently I got around totesting this to see if it made a difference in our environment, and itturns out that it does.

(Whether the difference is significant is an open question.


Anti-spam content scanning systems need to scan more

It's long since past the time when anti-spam content scanning systemsshould decode and scan all the encoded attachments of email messages,especially encoded plaintext ones. Most content scanning systems alwaysbeen willing to decode base-64 encoded inline text and HTML (it's sortof a basic requirement), but I don't think very many of them scanattachments. The predictable result is that spammers have caught onthat attaching their spam in a base-64 encoded attachment works, and itshouldn
