等了很久聽了很久也說了很久，Window Phone 7終於來了，雖然有點姍姍來遲。
廣告語是”The phone to save us from our phones”，我姑且譯為「一部將我們從手機桎梏中拯救出來的手機」，這個產品承諾很大，說得有點玄，它的電視廣告，更玄。

How big our fileserver environment is (part 1)
I've said before that I call us a midsized environment(for a number of reasons, including that we're clearly not smalland also nowhere near the size of large environments). Now Ifeel like sharing some actual numbers on how big and not-big weare. Today's entry is about the hardware of our fileserver environment ; a future one will cover data size.
(This is necessarily a snapshot in time and is likely to change in thefuture.)

Why visited links being visible is important for blog usability
One of the annoying things that some websites do is make it impossibleto see the difference between visited links and unvisited links. This isnot just irritating, I maintain that it is somewhere between a bad ideaand a terrible one for real blog usability ; howbad it is depends on how densely interlinked your writing is.
To summarize, for real blog usability you want to encourage people toexplore your site; having landed on one page through a search or aninbound link from somewhere, you want them to keep reading
第六感
女生，總有無法解釋的第六感。
某天，一切如常，吃零食喝熱花草茶用電腦。
忽然，看著那畫面，很心慌。
沒有任何理據，但就是覺得，某個灰色小格，會在不久將來消失，無聲無色地。
我一直在意，猜忖每個可能。
最終，第六
文學的抱負
諾貝爾文學獎不一定是偉大作家的指標，過去這個獎項已經漏掉了不少大師，例如博爾赫斯 、普魯斯特、喬伊斯、卡夫卡，所以對於沒有得獎的好手而言，的確可以用上述的名字來安慰自己。今屆諾貝爾文學獎得主略薩 ( Mario Vargas Llosa
假神父
我有時跟學生開玩笑說，假如我要假扮傳道人，走上台上講耶穌，相信沒有人會看出我不是正貨。我熟知《聖經》內容，了解教徒心理，又有三寸不爛之舌，加上當年聽過不少傳道人講道，記得他們的舉手投足、聲線表情，要模

Why non-linear directories have not been popular in filesystems
You might wonder why non-linear directories are so complicated that they haven'tbeen used for most of Unix's history.
Computer science has a lot of data structures that are much better forboth lookup and updates than unordered linear arrays. However, prettymuch all of them are designed with the assumption that they're livingin RAM, and even today RAM has very different characteristics fromdisks. Specifically, in RAM both fine-grained lookups and fine-grainedshuffling of entries are relatively inexpensive. Neither
Married... Time-Lapse Video of Our Wedding
Below is a time-lapse video of my wedding, generously recorded/posted by my Aunt (I didn't even know she did it!). I will hopefully have some pictures to post to Facebook sooner or later, and will also be posting a few of those previously-promised posts about our wedding preparations to this site, and to my and my wife's wedding website .
Here's the video (the techno beat adds something... I just don't know what ;-
