電影應該是酒

By admin, February 19, 2011 12:29 pm

馮小剛曾這樣形容姜文。「有一位導演曾對我說過這樣一番話,讓我出了一身冷汗。他說:電影應該是酒,哪怕只有一口,但它得是酒。你拍的東西是葡萄,很新鮮的葡萄,甚至還掛着霜,但你沒有把它釀成酒,開始時是葡萄,到了還是葡萄。另外一些導演明白這個道理,他們知道電影得是酒,但沒有釀造的過程。上來就是一口酒,結束時還是一口酒。更可怕的是,這酒既不是葡萄釀造的,也不是糧食釀成的,是化學兌出來的。他還說:小剛,你應該把葡萄釀成酒,不能僅僅滿足於做一杯又一杯的鮮榨葡萄汁……這位導演名叫:姜文。」
 

法拉利的經典之作: 308 GTS

By admin, February 18, 2011 11:32 pm

35個春夏秋冬過去了﹐法拉利308系列的線條依然美艷如昔。

作為標準法拉利迷的你如果有細心觀察的話﹐其實不難發現後繼者如F348﹑ F355﹑ 288 GTO﹑ F40等其實都是由此線條變化出來的﹐正所謂天下武功出少林也就是這個道理了。

今天經過車模舖子發現這款黑色美版的308 GTS在做大特價﹐雖然不愛黑色﹐但308 GTS實在太誘惑﹐不能不收﹐而且這款最主要沒有了那個難看討厭的半窗﹐如最近推出的Hotwheels Elite 308 GTB 就有半窗而且還偷工減料。

今天終于湊夠紅﹑黃﹑黑3個顏色﹐大喜﹗

Kyosho coming soon in 2011

The following list is the ones that’s most interested to me.

In my own opinion, the so called Hi-End edition with doubled the price doesn’t justify the price with what’s been upgraded in quality. In reality, from what we have seen in the released Hi-End ones, there are only 10% upgraded features comparing to the original versions. That’s why I put (Depends) as those ones I have already got in the original release back in 2010.

08423UR – Ferrari 512TR – Red (Depends)
08423Y – Ferrari 512TR – Yellow
08423UBK – Ferrari 512TR – Black

08425R – Ferrari Testarossa Late Version – Red (Depends)
08425BK – Ferrari Testarossa Late Version – Black

08413BK – Ferrari F40 – Black
08415R – Ferrari F40 Light Weight LM Wing – Red

08322RR – Lamborghini Countach LP5000S – Red
08322Y – Lamborghini Countach LP5000S – Yellow

08801BK – Rolls-Royce Ghost (H22) – Diamond Black

Autoart 2011年的重頭炮: Pagani Zonda R

By admin, February 15, 2011 11:28 pm

眾望所盼﹐王者終于歸來﹗

關於Pagani Zonda的故事﹐相信已經不用再費篇幅去介紹﹐因為就連很多不懂得開車的朋友現在也視它為Dream Car﹗

其實這位鼎鼎大名的Pagani很早就已經顯示出他那驚為天人的才賦﹐他在1992年成立自己公司之前﹐就曾經參與過多項Lamborghini的產品設計和改良如Countach 25週年紀念版和Diablo等經典之作。

R是Pagani Zonda系列中的完結篇﹐也代表了風之子系列裡最強的一名成員﹗

Zonda R有高達90%的車體結構是全新設計研發的﹐並且使用了最新碳纖維與金屬鈦混合材料技術。它依照風洞實驗設計出來的車體,Pagani Zonda R擁有著極為誇張的空氣力學外表﹐能令車身在高速行駛下充分獲得向下的壓力。

作為Autoart Signature系列2011年的重頭炮﹐Pagani Zonda R的做工果然沒令人失望﹗如此的精細程度我之前只在Exoto身上見過(如M. Benz C9/ Nissan R89C和Ford 40GT系列等等)﹐最誇張的連駕駛儀俵盤上細緻如IGNITION﹐WIPER ON這些字眼都清晰可見。

Pagani Zonda R可自己裝配的尾翼無疑增添了車模的整體樂趣﹐工具袋裡多附的2粒螺絲更體會出Autoart這次的細心(所以更加要小心裝配噢)。

這次的完成品終于令Autoart踏上了高端模型的台階﹐Pagani Zonda R的質量絕對配得起這個價格﹐相對與BBR之前的那堆濫竽充數的F430/ENZO來說﹐更顯得Autoart這次的定價來的十分之合理﹐難怪大陸﹑台灣的銷量是一鳴驚人﹐今天香港本地的車模店們都埋怨分不夠存貨﹐看啊﹐你QC做得好﹐價格訂的合理﹐顧客自然而然就會像潮水般地光顧﹐這是最基本的營銷手法。

最後真希望Autoart可以再接再勵﹐工藝不斷向上﹐多些推出這類精緻的“工藝品”帶給我們車模收藏者們更加多的歡樂和滿足感﹗

Bentley Mulsanne量產黑色版本

By admin, February 12, 2011 8:58 pm

更新﹕原來Bentley Mulsanne量產黑色版本也是用綠色廠盒來包裝的﹐但價格和之前的廠版相差無幾(便宜USD20左右)﹐這樣的話那當然是買廠版的那個金屬灰值得多了。

紅噹噹的應節F458

By admin, February 12, 2011 4:38 pm

今天發現有鄰居在測試它的最新玩具﹐原來1:1的F458真車比1:18來的更加“難看”﹐對不起﹐我真的不太會欣賞這樣另類的法拉利美感。

PS﹕

前天在灣仔NewAce看見Hotwheels Elite新出的308GTB﹐但做工粗糙﹐比幾年前京商的要差很多﹐所以沒收。

另外原來想買Elite的250 GT California Spyder﹐但CMC突然宣佈生產此車﹐那現在當然要把彈藥存起來﹐之後才進紅黑兩色也不遲。

還有就是見到了京商重新推出的NSX﹐一個字﹐真“爛”﹐門縫之大﹑油漆之差等等令人懷疑這是否10年前的倉底貨﹐跟AA那本來已經很單薄的NSX還要差幾級。

之後又在AA專賣店看到了Zonda R的貨板﹐還真精緻﹐絕對有Exoto的水準﹐最後得知Zonda R會下星期二才少量供應給香港的車模舖們﹐看來這次還真要搶貨了。

I just came across this GREAT PowerPoint presentation today, I wish I had it 6 months ago, it really helps you to clear the sky and understand many things before making the design and purchase decision.

VAAI got disabled during Storage vMotion and something about SIOC

By admin, February 4, 2011 4:10 pm

At first, I got very poor performance when I was trying to svMotion a 20GB VM within the same Equallogic SAN between different volumes, it took over 20 minutes to complete, I thought there must be something wrong as I’ve already enabled VAAI.

After searching the net and discovered the problem is due to Different Block Size between the two volumes (1MB vs 2MB) that will actually disabled VAAI feature. :(

So choosing the volumes with the same block size, I was able to reduce the time by almost 10 times!!!

See attached graph, 15:22 to 15:42 is the one without VAAI, 15:50 to 15:52 is the one with VAAI.

vaai

In additional, I have implemented Storage I/O Control today and found Storage vMotion with VAAI isn’t affected by SIOC as the whole svMotion is offloaded on to the EQL array, so SIOC won’t really kick in, you may say svMotion with VAAI is “Out of Control ”, this is another great thing about VAAI!

Finally, I do think SIOC is one of the best feature in ESX 4.1 for many cloud hosting providers as they can finally meet their storage SLA now besides the CPU and memory.
