聆聽自己內心的聲音 (轉文)

By admin, June 3, 2012 12:14 pm

八九年六四後,江澤民上台一個多月,接受美國著名電視主播 Barbara Walters訪問,想挽回一點中國的國際聲譽。訪問中,冷不防 Barbara拿出王維林擋坦克的照片,問江澤民:這個人現在哪裏?江被煞住了,說不知道有這個人,不知道他在哪裏。這是 Barbara在無數次對各國領導人訪問中相當經典的一幕,也使擋坦克鏡頭在美國深入人心。
美國的電視主播,似乎越老越矜貴。 Barbara Walters1961年開始主持電視訪談節目,到2000年她69歲仍被 ABC以破紀錄的年薪1200萬美元聘為新聞主播。她從尼克遜開始就訪問歷任總統,直至奧巴馬。現在她是退休了。上月底,82歲高齡的她,到耶魯大學擔任 畢業典禮的致辭嘉賓,她引用她讀大學時一位教授的話,勉勵學生要「追隨你最喜愛的( follow your bliss),你就會獲得真正的成功。」

但什麼是你的 bliss(最喜愛、理想)呢?年輕時未必知道。 Barbara說她到30幾歲才找到人生的 bliss,而她訪問奧巴馬時,奧巴馬也對她說,曾想當建築師、籃球員、法官,就是沒有想過會當總統。

Barbara曾問希拉莉,你一生都在作各 種抉擇,最困難的抉擇是什麼?希拉莉說:維持跟老公的婚姻。出了那件事之後,許多人問她:為什麼要跟比爾(克林頓)在一起?很多人覺得她很可憐,但她不這 麼想,她從這件事學到教訓,這教訓就是:生命是一份禮物,我們都是邊走邊學,學習愛、希望和信心,遇到困難時,你必須決定,什麼對你最重要,仔細聆聽自己 內心的聲音,一定有人不認同你的選擇,但這畢竟是你的人生,要自己作決定。

Barbara對希拉莉這段話記憶深刻。我們常因他人的反應作抉擇,而忘了這是自己的人生。

Iron Sky

By admin, May 30, 2012 5:41 pm

一套近年少見的黑色幽默喜劇。雖然劇情空洞,但Iron Sky集第三帝國、月球背面的神秘UFO基地和諷刺大美國主義兩大元素為一身,電腦特技(CG)尤其值得觀看。

還有片頭的音樂Take Me to Heaven配得很絕,擺明抄Space Odyssey,感覺很Peaceful,其實是在諷刺地球人在不斷地自相殘殺。

Equallogic Hardware Architecture Exposed! Difference between PS6100 and PS4100

By admin, May 23, 2012 10:51 pm

This article from Mainland China revealed the secret of the latest Equallogic hardware architecture.

PS6100 uses 64bits RISC CPU which provided by NetLogic XLS616, it has 4 MIPS cores with 4 threads per core at 1Ghz each (ie, 16 total threads per CPU), and 1MB L2 Cache.

In contrast, PS4100 uses its younger brother NetLogic XLS608, which has 2 MIPS cores with 4 threads per core at 800Mhz each (ie, total 8 threads per CPU), and 1MB L2 Cache, so the processing speed has been cut at least 50%.

Everything else is the same except the above processor speed and number of cores. It is also interesting to learn about the super conductor instead of traditional BBU cache for data.

Remove VoIP Setting for PowerConnect 5448 Switch as Recommended by Equallogic

By admin, May 22, 2012 5:38 pm

I was told Power Connect 52xx/54xx series switches are optimized for VoIP and they are no longer recommended by Equallogic as 50% of the available buffers are reserved for VoIP unless you change the setting and REBOOT the switch.

I haven’t tried the following VoIP setting recommended by EQL as I don’t want to mess around my optimized configuration file.

Besides, I think there is an alternative way which I’ve completely disabled VoIP setting using PowerConnect 5448 GUI. There is a check for you to disable VoIP in the Switch session under the GUI.

Go to each switch and do the following:

Put the switch into admin and configuration mode.

enable
configure

Disable/remove iSCSI and VoIP optimization

voice vlan oui-table remove 00036b
voice vlan oui-table remove 00096e
voice vlan oui-table remove 0001e3
voice vlan oui-table remove 000fe2
voice vlan oui-table remove 0060b9
voice vlan oui-table remove 00d01e
voice vlan oui-table remove 00e075
voice vlan oui-table remove 00e0bb

Exit from configuration mode

exit

Save the configuration

copy running-config startup-config

When ready, type ‘reload’ to reboot

20年前的溫布頓

By admin, May 20, 2012 10:02 pm

這次回溫哥華,竟然給我找到了不少的珍貴文物。

那年留學英倫,有幸第一次去看溫布頓,那天親眼見到了正在冒起的網壇天王Pete Sampras,還有兩JIM大戰:Jimmy Connors vs Jim Courier, it was a classic match!

Window with a View

By admin, May 20, 2012 9:46 pm

City of Montreal, this was the view from my apartment window almost 20 years ago, it is just like yesterday…

* Just in case you wonder, the white spot near IBM tower is NOT an UFO, it’s a commercial airship.

Trip to Vancouver

Just came back from my trip to Vancouver. It was such a paradise with nice weather, beautiful scenery, wonderful food and most importantly free tennis courts with deep forest nearby. :)

Trees Coffee near Gastown, Vancouver

By admin, May 12, 2012 11:07 am

I used to be a cheese cake lover, the best one I remember was the New York cheese cake from Mandarin Oriental (HK) cake shop. Then I had too much of it, so I quit.

This little shop in downtown Vancouver was definitely a rediscovery of cheese cake for me, especially the unique taste of this Maple Walnut one and the double chips chocolate cookie as the compliment!

Comparison Between Different Backup Software for VMware ESX

By admin, April 28, 2012 12:04 pm

This latest brief review compared the pros and cons of the leading backup vendors for VMware ESX. (In Chinese).

It only touched the surface, not technical oriented and in fact not detail at all, sounds more like a marketing material to me.

什麼是感覺﹖

By admin, April 27, 2012 1:36 pm

我總覺得攝影就是簡單地把自己那一刻的感覺捕捉下來,什麼學院派攝影技巧都是其次。

這幅照片表達的就是這種與生俱來的感覺,面對諾大的紐約中央公園模特完全釋放自己的一剎那,攝影師Patrick Lichfield的靈感油然而生,然後喀嚓按下了快門,經典由此而生。
