明信片

找著了一張舊postcard, 是大學時灌我最多奶水的人寫給我的。





他是少有經得起我那慢熱的性格，觀察、發掘及了解我深層意識的人。我十分慶幸可以在讀書最愉快的日子裏跟他分享那些古怪的想法。

他曾經問過我有否渴望得到愛情，當時我沒辦法回答；把自己局限在一個很狹隘的圈子內，環顧四周，一無所得。

但，現在我已經找到目標了。請別把昨天的說話當戲言荒唐話，我慣於率性而為以至拙於表達，但並不代表我欠缺關心溫柔。

我會以我笨拙的方法努力。

Admit it...

只能說我輸了　也許是你怕了

我們的回憶沒有皺摺
你卻用離開燙下句點

只能說我認了　你的不安贏得你信任
我卻得到你　　安慰的淘汰

從來都不曾覺得歌詞會是現實的寫照，只有這一次
心碎的感覺原來是這樣的

囉嗦的自怨自艾

總算有些了解到其他人所謂女人的心纖細而敏感是那一回事。別人面前或若無其事、或談笑風生，但文字不能掩飾，從中可以感受到一種深切的蒼桑、飽經歷練及傷害。奇怪地，那人你認識不到幾天說不到十句話，亦不像那些暢銷作家般能不繼製造有市場但言不由衷的文字去煽動你惻隱，卻更能打動那一剎的感動。

今年有幸能從不少陌生的面孔中重新認識自己、重新定位，這比其他一切都更難能可貴。每個人都或多或少有個故事，有人一眼斷定我有一個很平淡的過去，難聽點說就是順風順水無驚無險的好命種。然而，她又怎會知道那平淡的背後所付出的努力、面對期待所承受的壓力和那背水一戰所需要的決心。

不斷的鞭策使我學會堅強，縷縷的挫折磨滑了我的菱角。以為收成的日子到了，可以停一停的時候，所得到的又是怎樣的一句comment？受得了嗎？

年尾了、又一個聖誕，話才會特別多...

只懂0跟1的人

在蔡智恆的新作品裡有這樣的一段

我們不會也不懂得搭訕，因為不擅言辭；
我們拙於表達，因為表達用的是文字而非程式語言。
我們很天真，因為電腦0與1的世界黑白分明，不像現實社會顏色紛亂。
我們常在網路上被騙，不是因為笨，也不是因為太容易相信人；
而是因為渴望異性的心熾熱到心甘情願承受被騙的風險，
即使這風險高達九成九。
但欺騙我們的感情就像欺騙父母雙亡冬夜在小巷口賣花的小女孩一樣，
都叫沒有人性。

太貼心了，讀了不期然的有種酸溜溜的感覺...

討論區之復活

有些情況單用blog始終不夠方便，所以久違了的討論區終於回來啦!!!

網址是http://acw.freeforums.org/

今次討論區會由我親手管理，應該不會再出現像上一任admin的那些糊塗事吧 ... wakaka

為了防止類似之前的google事件，我特別將討論區設成必須登記及要admin approve才可以讀到。

紅炸彈

籌備多時(?)的大狗婚禮終於完滿結束了。以我這個"哎吔"兄弟而言，除了事前撞車、遺失停車卷、進場音樂失靈等(!)，過程尚算順利，真是可喜可賀。

遊戲的反應比我估計的好，近台的幾桌親友(特別是小朋友)還蠻雀躍的，可惜音響關係對山頂的朋友照顧不周，算是一個不錯的經驗。

今年的中秋份外悲涼

今天是中秋前的晚上，距離正日只差不到一個小時。

有種很唏噓的感覺，難道今年又是人生連續第二十五個的毒男聚會？與會人數沒大變化，但人事上則有不少變動，要待何時我這個中堅才可以抽身而去呢......

大佬在的話，會"抦"我要求太高吧﹝target你見過啦, 還有意見嗎﹞；

亂毛肯定會很激動地說個助語詞，然後跟我說去某某地方更好之類的句子；

口水應該會安撫我，叫我去做漁夫；

而損友則是有實際行動的人；

馮景只會有兩種反應：一種是冇反應，一種是做出你冇法做出適當反應的反應；

我估王文只會「喔」一聲，而；

大狗看後，我想，會吠吧 =P

讀書備忘 07.08

近期又是十分忙碌，公司方面有幾個projects要我一手包辦，另一邊則要忙準備讀書及其他煩人的東西，不過書展過後還是走馬看花的讀了幾本書。

• 李天命的思考藝術
• 張小嫻的麵包樹出走了
• Mitch Albom's the Five People You Meet in Heaven
• Mark Haddon's the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
• 村上春樹的人造衛星情人

值得一提有本畫冊叫《我的低能之道》，十分有共鳴及搞笑，書展大熱之作。

順道替大狗宣傳一下﹝雖然實在不知這個站會不會有人看﹞，大婚定於9.29。

電影備忘

學威廉君的

戲王之王

之前聽到的評價是譭譽參半，個人感想是除最開頭的笑位有點造作外，整體上不錯。渠王一段是全片精華，黃秋生的結尾點題即時令我聯想到天龍八部裏的掃地僧。

哈利波特 5

哈，鳯凰「會」是一個組織而不是聚會，那隻雀只有鄧不利多逃走時才出場了一次。石內卜的學生年代原來是鼻涕蟲，成日給哈利老竇整，怪不得現在不停針對哈利仔。

07年的第一帖

網誌發霉了...

今年的第一篇竟然要到7月, 叫我做"量"產型﹝量住個quota生產﹞應該是實至名歸了。這半年裡面，按時間序大概發生了：

1. 在公司了發生了一件大事，差點令我"以為"要收警告信
2. 這件事之後郤被不了了之
3. 裝修，煩死人
4. 肥雞餐!
5. 身邊一個御宅族報喜
6. Appraisal冇驚喜，加人工反而有點意外
7. 又跟團長去了一次交流。說實在的，有點意興闌珊
8. 陳基回來了一段短時間，談了一些之前未曾討論過的事情
9. 對board game產生興趣，玩起來節奏再快一點的話就更好了
10. 回歸十年。完全感覺不到所謂「十年」應有的長度，唯一眼見的是香港紅化之快、以及與街上穿水手服的學妹對比下顯著的蒼老感

「拾吓拾吓咁又十年」....

p.s. 特別證清： 係獵頭，仲要係俾人揀個種

搬家了

這篇文我起草的時候，日曆還只翻到十月二十號。到今天按下Publish的時候已過十一月上旬了，只能說，很忙。

忙什麼？很多，形形「色色」（正字節目中教的），跟裝修工程的「老細」們角力，跟母親東奔西走的看樣版，安排間格睇料設計度尺擺設搬屋執房...，樣樣勞心勞力，很累人。

現下住2216，垃圾房邊的殘破單位租價竟然要五千五，包你生锈熱水爐，會「閃爍」的日光管，漫天「蠅」火，「擦破了一片皮」的浴缸，另附送每天準六時半的倒垃圾碎玻璃morning call，難怪香港的不動產會這麼好賺。

這段艱苦歲月裏的唯一消遺是跟口水看了兩套電影，跟團長定了下一個教察日期,與及到損友處看漫畫。

適逢其會，口水及損友同時請教我讀英文的方法，正好借此機會溫故知新一番。

看完霍金的時間簡史，大作一本，推論大體上都明白，唯獨箇中的量子物理顯然是非我族類，遲下要請教高人指點。

慶典，共青，回憶

陳基走了，伴隨而來的那膨脹到極點的氣氛像世界盃完結一樣，一下子冷卻下來，所有因他名而號召的眾多飯局、聚會亦告一段落，下一次的慶典很可能要三五年後。沒有任何失落，因為科技發達。

共青在團長的英明領導下，已經定下了行動的網領及代號。團長意外的積極表現令身為幹部的我十分汗顏，真要多加反省。幹部會議後繼續指定項目，第一局之後我跟口水的表現均不斷下滑，看來桌球相當花精神，埋單的時候連基本的心算都弄得一團糟，認真失敗。

返家的途中，同口水聊到朋友的事情，意猶未盡，大家把初中那段黃金歲月逐一細味。那些被遺忘的一點一滴再一印證重現眼前，笑當年的稚嫩，但無悔青春。

今年紅鑾星動，友好們都好像若即若離，作為真心的朋友，感嘆的同時，為他們送上真摰的祝福。

按:
1. 做得大佬的果然係有charm, 敢怒敢言真漢子，佩服
2. 好有感趣一暏大佬以前的肥仔look
3. 竟然有女王的教室現實版發生在我認識的人身上

馮景:
需要帶面具去維繫的感情, 不會長久
只愛自己的人, 不會是好情人

雖然我了解你, 但同性朋友難言「溫柔體貼」 (我還未想斷背), 所以我只能撐你

閒聊 2

自陳基學成歸來後，飯局一個緊接一個，剛為自己制定的理財三步曲未實行就已被打破，失敗！

長久以來，生日從來不會有慶祝活動，不曾要求收到禮物，不曾希望有生日會、生日蛋糕諸如此類，廿幾年過後的今日早已看淡，但真的要感謝陳基的一片心意，令我深深感受到心意卡中的關切之情。(難怪這麼多人爭做阿斯蘭)

共青行動第一組在毛兄的策劃下已進入最後階段，希望一切順利。

「我」真的「戀愛」了!!!!!

Einstein's Problem

There are a number of variations of this problem, But basically all fall on the same constraint-solving domain. Here is the original version.

Facts:

1. There are 5 houses (along the street) in 5 different colors:
   blue, green, red, white and yellow.
2. In each house lives a person of a different nationality:
   Brit, Dane, German, Norwegian and Swede.
3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage:
   beer, coffee, milk, tea and water,
4. smoke a certain brand of cigar:
   Blue Master, Dunhill, Pall Mall, Prince and blend,
5. and keep a certain pet:
   cat, bird, dog, fish and horse.
6. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.

Hints:

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house (next to it).
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

The question is:

Who keeps fish?

閒聊

世界盃轉眼又打到決賽，之前看好的阿根廷，可惜一早已經出局。跟老細由四強開始打賭，注碼一個午餐，目前己經穩吃兩頓"白"飯，只差決賽，施丹加油呀!

旅行的相正以十分緩慢的進度處理中，新機未熟手影得差無辨法。另外有幾十張save係陳基部機，要等佢番黎先攞到....

部腦又唔生性，有得聽歌就冇得上網，一係就hang機，唉，打亂哂我原定的升級計劃，拜託頂多半年，至少都要等conroe大賣先，唔該...

Girlfriend 6.0 vs Wife 1.0

Last year a friend of mine upgraded from GirlFriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that it's a memory hog leaving very little system resources available for other applications. He is now noticing that Wife 1.0 is also spawning Child Processes which are further consuming valuable resources. No mention of this particular phenomena was included in the product brochure or the documentation, though other users have informed him that this is to be expected due to the nature of the application.

Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it is always launched at system initialization, where it can monitor all other system activity. He's finding that some applications such as PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash 2.5, and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run in the system at all, crashing the system when selected (even though they always worked fine before). During installation, Wife 1.0 provides no option as to the installation of undesired Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw 55.8 and BrotherInLaw Beta release. Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing day.

Some features he'd like to see in the upcoming wife 2.0.

1. a "Don't remind me again" button
2. a Minimize button
3. An install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 be installed with the option to uninstall at any time without the loss of cache and other system resources
4. An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode which would allow the system's hardware probe feature to be much more useful.

I myself decided to avoid the headaches associated with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 7.0. Even here, however, I found many problems. Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 7.0 on top of Girlfriend 6.0. You must uninstall Girlfriend 6.0 first. Other users say this is a long standing bug that I should have known about. Apparently the versions of Girlfriend have conficts over shared use of the I/O port. You think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now. To make matters worse, The uninstall program for Girlfriend 6.0 doesn't work very well leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system. Another thing -- all versions of Girlfriend continually popup little annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0.
Bug Warning

Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

Bug work-arounds: To avoid this bug, try installing Mistress 1.1 on a different system and never run any file transfer applications such as Laplink 6.0. Also, beware of similar shareware applications that have been known to carry viruses that may affect Wife 1.0. Another solution would be to run Mistress 1.1 via a UseNet provider under an anonymous name. Here again, beware of the viruses which can accidently be downloaded from the UseNet.
Tech Support Suggestions

These are very common problem men complain about, but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a Utilities & Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is indeed an operating system and designed by its creator to run everything.

It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 6.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 6.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 6.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this.

Some have tried to install Girlfriend 7.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under "Warnings - Alimony/Child support". I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and deal with the situation.

I suggest installing background application program C:\YES DEAR to alleviate software augmentation. Having installed Wife 1.0 myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. In any case avoid excessive use of C:\YES DEAR because ultimately you may have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high-maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 3.1 and Diamonds 2K. Do not, under any circumstances, install Secretary with Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of Luck,
Tech Support

囍

朋友的日誌中忍忍約約地流露出令人可喜的消息，雖然未經證實，但以我看柯南多年所得的推理能力，想必十不離二啦，哈哈。

這絕對是一件大事啊，遙想當年他房間的那張四句「格言」(亦可作目標X戲言，理想X廢話等)，真的不知是要誇他還是要笑他。總之我這個密探可以不負陳基托負的重任了。

我不其然地想象他另一面的情境：關注的眼神、溫柔的言語、體貼的服務、豪邁的點菜......撐不下了，放過我吧，太噁心了，嘻。

看到的話，你都是自己招吧，免得吾等用刑。

看看自己，唉......。神呀，救救我吧。(拜託質素好一點 :p)

身影

上班的時候，看到一個熟悉的身影，感覺是疲憊而沉重的。朋友的身邊帶著女朋友的孩子，穿著黃士心的運動服外加一臉不肖的樣子，如傳言一樣正好一個小霸王格。

朋友雖然一身穩重的白領裝束，但跟依然稚氣的臉孔，其實不太相襯。看見我的時候，他擺了個不知是難堪還是無奈的笑容，他大概沒預計會碰到我吧，但可以肯定，這並不是我以前曾看到的。

我無法把這個畫面與每天在公司樓下幼兒園看到的情境相連。到底，這可不是我們這群乳臭未乾的傢伙所能模仿的。背後所代表的，有著終生的承諾，有著不能推卸的責任。

朋友生性太順和了，不會拒絕人，怕他日會後悔。

女人真的會對男人產生很巨大的影響力喔，
那個背影簡直和上一次見倒他的時候完全不一樣的，
不是肉體上的，是精神上的。

同感。

「愛」經常被歌頌、被神性化、被喧染；那，他做對了嗎？設身處地，我又會如何？
