坐以待斃還是守株待兔?

不經不覺,職位的合約還有三個月就完結了。新曆年初還積極找過工,現在倒沒有多少行動。是逃避還是惰性使然?倒不是。只是目前的政治風向已變,政府水頭充足又開始重新招聘,即使只剩上三個月,留在目前的崗位應該會有好處。這純屬個人臆測,根本就是拿自己的前途作賭注。三個月時間這個注碼夠不夠份量?

話分兩頭。我猜下半年的股市並不理想,經濟恐怕也會跟著回落。若現在傻乎乎走出去亂闖,恐怕捱不了幾個月,又會因大環境不濟而沒頂。即使不賭一手,看來也沒有退路了。再一次拿自己的前途作賭注,會不會太冒險?畢業後的轉行決定,究竟是對還是錯?

Ubuntu Linux Experiment

These days I am playing around with Ubuntu Linux. I use the a lightweight flavor called “Xubuntu”. It is a really fun, fast and snappy experience. The live CD is neater than knoppix, but still offers those handy software packages. One important thing: like knoppix, Ubuntu uses debian’s package system, this guarantees stability and saves a lot of extra installation work.

I am now trying to do a complete Xubuntu installation on a Toshiba 4GB USB thumbdrive. (The drive is just HK$298). It sounds a bit crazy, but it is not that difficult as expected. At least, it is easier to do a Linux installation on USB than installing WinXP on USB drive.

I know, This post sounds really nerdy. My dear readers, please just forgive my IT spirit dominate for a few days.

(Typing chinese is possible with the live CD, it is just my fault for not learning putonghua well enough to do the input.)

光時計

愛恩斯坦論證他的相對論,有一個「光鐘」的概念。高速運動物體上的「光鐘」,光的速度恆常,可是時間卻越走越慢。如果世上真的有「光鐘」,會不會是以下的中國形式?
