My friend Roger pointed out this one a long time ago.



暗示 Windows 的內部真的那麼不穩定,及"牙煙"?

Is Windows' internals that unstable? scary.

早陣子見老闆談他的書,想他的個人真藏定是很豊富.

自少我就不是個讀書人,上課的書看得辛苦,其他的課外書也不是很常看. 後來中了毒上癮了玩電腦就只會看電腦書及有關的技術書.還有一點覺得看其他文學作品是無謂的. 當時英文閱讀能力不是太好,就算爸爸有很多英文 manual 也不看,多自己去買些台灣的中文版.但是怎麼的也看不明.自此不看中文電腦書.

離開香港到加國讀書後,因初時沒有電腦,加上要訓綀讀英文書的能力,所以開始找來一些小說來看.第一本由頭到尾看完的是 Tom Clancy 的 Clear and Present Danger, 初讀時差不多要每隻字查字典,當然進度很慢,完全談不上在看書. "看"了40多頁便停了,數個月後一天拿起來繼續,查了數頁字典後心想:看書不是這樣的,如果要每隻生字也查字典,一世也看不完一本書.所以把心一橫就不查字典了.當遇到生字時就"估"字或跳了那句算了.出奇地,大概也看得明書在說甚麼.當然有很多內容看得不是太清楚,但看得很快.更重要是開始享受看書.之後看了很多所有 Tom Clancy 和一些戰爭類型的小說/書.

到現在少了看書,多是看綱上的文字.或者我是在等下一本 Clear and Present Danger 或是 Cyptonomicon, 一本吸引我的書.

Pig reported on Twitter that we now have a shortcode to send update to from Canada.

It works, but I wonder if the local code cost me money. I have 100 free SMS from on my phone, a good way to use them is Tweeting.

A week ago today, I got into a car accident.....

I was lucky to walk away from it mostly alright, now in a nightmare mode dealing with the aftermath.

When will I wake up from this mess?
