programmer 之喪

一連四日,晚晚加班,為的是「趕」兩個一日拖一日拖到宜家仲拖緊遲遲未決既deadlines。有時想,係唔係真係要咁趕呢?就算趕得起,部新手機又未ready,咁趕,為乜呢?

唉,連續兩晚做到十二點先走,喪~

入閘機

最近一直留意這個問題,同事的blog也有提過,而有趣的是,香港人老被標榜快的八達通機耽擱時間。

就如定理,在最近的入閘機總會見到有人先用西瓜咁大的手袋去磨;失敗,就摷出個拳頭般大的荷包,再磨;還是失敗,最後在荷包中心扯出張八達通,拍。

嘟~

似乎沒人理會過八達通卡和拍卡機的構造和原理,意圖挑戰物理極限。
似乎沒人理會過九萬幾個手袋磨過部入閘機,其實,部機都幾 dirty。
似乎沒人會使用較遠的入閘機。

遇見有人排隊去磨機,我總會行多五六步,拍卡、入閘、再回頭,唔,我又快過那三五七個人了。

Bluetooth Software

Bluetooth is not supported on Windows XP natively. The Windows Bluetooth software is available from Microsoft update or service pack. However, it isn't ease to use. It takes a form of wizard-like. Everytime user has to go thur 5 or 6 steps to transfer a file. It's just no good to those who need Bluetooth frequently.

Many Bluetooth doogles come with a satellie-like Bluetooth software. The software has a graphical interface. Bluetooth devices are list around a core, which represents the PC. The orbit is capable of around 10 devices. It should be more than enough for regular users. However, it isn't so to us, who has over 30 devices on the list. We have to scroll the orbit everytime and connect the devices before selecting target files.

The best Bluetooth software I ever use is the verions 1.4.10. So far, besides some unknown brand Bluetooth doogles, I already knew that Belkin and Billition's PCMCIA Bluetooth (version 1) come with it. Besides a regular GUI, it also intergrated into the right-click menu, under Send to option. Furthermore, the shortcuts in Send to option can be used as DOS command. Therefore, I can write a DOS command in a batch file and run jobs in batch mode quickly.

The new version of PCMCIA Bluetooth 2 from Billition will come with a new software from Toshiba. I wonder if it can be used as if the version 1.4.10.

Red Hat Linux 8.0 Part III

尋日放工回家就繼續裝Linux,食完飯差唔多裝完,太好了,終於boot入GNOME。之後猛睇documents,煲左三個chapters又搞左好耐終於上到網。部機屬於輕巧型(當年),所以連network卡都係要另外用PCMCIA加上去。

好,今日繼續睇Linux既GSG... Getting Started Guide

開工大吉

尋晚早睡,未夠一點就熄左燈(呃,算很早喇)。訓訓下又醒左,喉嚨有點乾,但諗到如果起身飲水又可能訓唔番,就懶得出去,結果無耐又訓著左。今早八點半鬧鐘響時已經清醒,少有。

起身發現部舊laptop裝Linux時出了岔子,結果什麼都沒裝過,又要從頭再做。搞左十幾分鐘set好個installer,就出門口。

今朝地鐵很少人,上到車居然有位坐。不過唔知係人少定係因為受尋日果單車禍影響,氣氛好似好靜焗咁。

今日收的第一封e-mail係team leader發的,第一隻Series 60 DP3(俗稱3.0)的application合格左,恭喜恭喜。

食埋個早餐就開工,但係,今日做乜好呢?依然是放假mood。
