Take My Words

A friend of mine recently told me that we doctors are keen on using abbreviations. Very true. Two types of languages exist in this planet: language used by mankind and the language medical doctors speak.

Doctors speak different language, a fact we must admit before any meaningful dialogue can be carried on. I was reminded of the occasions when my patient developed a stroke without obvious cause. "Mr. X, I’m sorry to tell you that your dad suffers from a cryptogenic stroke." Or, as most

甚麼都不緊要,除了... ...

久休復出,到悉尼打了個白鴿轉。

回來後,腰痛得想發癲。

不過,不緊要。

回來後,40小時沒睡過我想起「油盡燈枯」這四字。

不過,不緊要。

回來後,被惹病了喉痛聲沙耳痛頭暈。

不過,不緊要。

有甚麼緊要得過我天天節食

Linux's umount -f forces IO errors

Here is something that I had to find the moderately hard way:

When used on an NFS filesystem, Linux's umount -f will force anyoutstanding IO operations to fail with an error, whether or not theunmount will succeed.

This can be both good and bad, but on the whole I think it's mostly bad.

If the NFS server has died completely and the outstanding IO can neversucceed, you do want things to abort now instead of hanging around. Inthis case umount -f '


The weird effects of Firefox's remote control on Unix

如果這就是愛:讀黃文輝〈我的愛人〉




我的愛人
愛折磨我們
要行血腥的祭禮


當黃文輝把組詩〈我的愛人〉第一句寫成以上的樣子,他事實上是定下了這首“情詩”的基調,也坦率的讓讀者明白這首“情詩”非同一般。這首詩當然是描寫愛的,但更多是關於愛的反面。

巧遇藝術高人

話說當日逛夜冷店逛得十分累, 唯有回到最就近的藝術中心休息.

中心正在舉辦三個畫展, 嚴格來說, 將十樓白管子的展覽一併計算, 總共有四個. 我和同學到四樓的展覽層看畫. (身為藝術的學生, 竟然很少機會到學院畫廊觀

灰得很 — 沒有iPod聽著跑步的日子

當iPod還是大大舊的時候,我已經愛帶著那40G四圍走,跑步去。

今時今日,輕巧的iPod Nano加埋NikePlus,我可以一邊跑步一邊聽歌一邊有個鬼妹(你都可以揀鬼仔)話我知我跑了多少公里,簡直就係完美配搭。

更重要的是,這配搭會

看now tv24小時新聞台,真會感覺置身一個不同的世界,比較令人心平氣和,因為該說的話有人替你說了。報導的新聞不多,但有脈絡有深度,有著隱性的規勸意識。知性而平民,編輯向度有力,比如有別於鋪天蓋地的「辭
