今天讀了一篇引人深思的文章，爸爸今年已經80幾歲，我2011年中跟姐姐商量，不如搞一個世紀Reunion，再不去就真的沒機會了。

就這樣由我籌備了幾個月，終於一家人聖誕前夕排除萬難(媽媽當時不幸還得了急性肺炎)，一齊去了泰國布吉度過了難忘的5天。

當時爸媽由溫哥華飛去布吉，姐由吉隆坡，我們則由香港飛去。一家8口住在一間6千尺的大Villa，好開心好難忘。

香港人的平均壽命很長，太長了，容易教人產生某種錯覺︰父母雖然早晚會走，但是時間還有的是，反正隨時都可以見面，見面時再聊好了。最近在看的一本書，書名無法一口氣唸完，叫作《別以為你還有 20年──你跟父母相處的時間其實只剩下 55天》，裡頭有這樣的一條算式──

20年﹙父母剩餘的壽命﹚× 26天﹙每兩周回家吃個飯﹚× 2小時﹙每次吃飯花的時間﹚× 2天﹙除夕．初一﹚× 7小時﹙除夕．初一這兩個特別日子見面的時間﹚= 1320小時
算式的假設還算忠實。對大部分成年子女來說，頭一趟有意識地把「父母」和「死亡」看出關連時，兩老已逾六十了﹙人人都知道死亡，但理性上知道和在感性上準備，十萬個不一樣﹚。當然誰也說不準死神是否就在轉角處等着，但大膽假設他們的壽命跟平均數相去不遠，前望大概有二十年。二十年乍聽不短，可是若只算上親子相聚的時間，事情就變得很不一樣了。譬如說，每兩週來一次「旋風式」聚餐，一年只有除夕夜才在老家逗留得較久……七除八扣剩下 1320小時，即是短短五十五天。

這輩子只剩五十五天，還不到兩個月？﹗而我們打算怎樣善用這些正在指縫間悄悄溜走的日子？同桌吃飯但在小小屏幕上各自修行？說好回來飲湯，卻在夜幕下滯留辦公室？

為《死在香港──流眼淚》訪問社工系學者周燕雯，聽她分享一段經驗︰周爸爸是中風死亡的，說走便走，但她慶幸自己竟然把握了他最後一年的日子，辦了一趟家族祭祖行。

事情始於某次輔導，有病人向她說了一樁樂事︰女兒排除萬難帶他坐輪椅回鄉探親，跟兄弟姊妹久別重逢。周燕雯聽着，心裡想︰我爸行得走得，不如現在就去。她坐言起行，得到爸爸同意後，便聯絡早就散落在世界各地的親友。神奇的是，大家竟然都能抽空，於是一行四十人浩浩蕩蕩上順德。

周燕雯記得，那些嘗盡人生五味的老人，一個個變回兄弟幫姊妹淘，日間重遊祖屋寫族譜，晚上則在酒店沒完沒了聊到天亮。當時大家怎樣也想不到，排行最小的周爸爸翌年竟會猝死，這趟旅程成為最後的溫暖回憶。

放下書，我馬上打電話給我老爸瞎聊﹙當然找了個不着痕迹的借口）。我們雖然沒本錢跟死神討價還價，卻有本事在算式上動手腳──把五十五天活得不留遺憾，又或者，甚至把它們活成一百天、二百天。趁還可以。

Today I got a chance to play with Ubuntu Linux Distro.

1. The latest compatible release for ESX 4.1 is 10.04 64bits, on the download page, it says ubuntu-10.04.4-server-amd64, and there is no version for intel 64bits, it turns out the iso will also work on Intel platform.

I suspect you can of course install the latest Ubuntu 13, but you may not able to install Vmware Tools, which is very important.

2. The bare server iso does not come with a GUI, so the following steps will help you to install a nice GUI.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop –no-install-recommends

3. I noticed the security is much better and fine tuned in Ubuntu than Redhat or CentOS, as root is diabled by default completely, every time you will need to issue command ’sudo’ to start with when changing something in system configuration.

If you want to enable root ssh, then edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the line PermitRootLogin to yes.

4. Enabling snmp is similar to CentOS, by adding rocommunity community_string mrtg.yourhost.com to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, but you will also need to modify /etc/default/snmpd, the line SNMPDOPTS=’-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf’

5. To configure Ubuntu firewall, you need to install gufw, the rest is a piece of cake, same as in CentOS. In fact, you can also use ufw to block DDOS IP address.

e.g.,
sudo ufw deny proto tcp from 12.34.56.78 to any port 22

6. After deploy a vm from Ubuntu template, I found eth0 has gone missing (reminds me w2k8 VMXNET 3 issue ), eventually I found this VMware KB. Or even easier, simply delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules will do the trick.

7. ‘gksudo gedit /etc/hostname’ is the command to graphically edit any file, no more vi, which is very useful for many new Ubuntu or Linux users.

8. Finally regarding extending disk in Ubuntu, the method is similar, but with some twist.

9. There is a very good link for installing VMware Tools, one specific thing is you need to create a special directory ’sudo mkdir /usr/lib64′ in order to successfully install VMware Tools. Just make sure you download the latest VMware Tools (latest is 10.04) as the older one comes with ESX 4.1 (8.0.x) doesn’t work in latest Ubuntu 16.x. I also noticed VMware Tools status shows as “Unmanaged”!  That’s actually ok, as the tools is installed from an individual package instead of using the default attached CD-ROM (which the version doesn’t work anyway), so you can safely ignore it.

Update: Oct 23, 2013

It turns out even the latest release 12.04 worked perfectly on ESX4.1.

Update: Oct 28, 2015

Tested the latest 14.04 also worked perfectly on ESX4.1.

Update: Nov 14, 2016

Tested the latest 16.04 also worked perfectly on ESX4.1.

相比起收藏了5年多的車模數量，我更覺得幾個月前開始做的這個浩大的Excel車模資料庫更加難搞。

不過搞好之後，之後的一切都變得很順利，包括現在正在為每一台車模貼上相對應的號碼。

記得幾歲的時候就已經很喜歡把每一本收藏的漫畫書都貼上號碼，然後整齊有次序地排列得跟圖書館一樣，看來我還真是3歲定80啊，哈哈。

我自問對政治比較冷感，好似根本唔知到香港宜家有咩黨派。

對於今次一個充滿熱誠的中年創業者、大衛挑戰歌利亞的故事，政府一句話唔比你玩，仲要連理由都唔晒話比公眾知，我就覺得當中好有問題囉!

如果撇開政治方面， 事實魔童已經投入9億、製作超過數百小時節目(其它兩間幾乎沒有任何動靜)，果個么官﹖(唔記得個名，再次證明政治冷感) 竟然厚顏無恥話香港電視咁都唔夠其它兩家競爭，詳細理由因為行會保密機制唔方便透露wor。

小時候師長經常教導我們不要講大話，做人要真誠，但人越大就越覺得現今社會、尤其這幾年香港由上而下，講大話已經成為家常便飯，仲要面不改容，連自己都信埋呢下先驚!

小朋友肯定會問為什麼這些大人師長們總是要求我們做人要真誠，唔好講大話，但自己就不停做一些相反的事。

簡單來講全部係偽君子行為是也。

WTF may be is the phrase exactly well described this incident.

Don’t get me wrong, I mean Well That’s Funny ?

引擎聲真好听，尾巴右邊那個黃色的環應該是F355 F1版本來的，而且很趴地，法拉利原來根本就是應該這個樣子的。

很多忠實的Tifosi都在說近年尤其Enzo以後法拉利一直都在吃老本，不思進取，沒有創意，這樣下去，情況不妙。現在為了迎合市場而改變得人不人、鬼不鬼似的，失望。

以前法拉利老爺子從街車賺到的錢就全放進F1賽車里，現在他老人家走了，還需要那樣拼命地賺錢嗎？再說，老爺子在世的時候那時候的經典多极了，所以說有時候領軍靈魂人物走了后，這個品牌也就差不多了。

He got the Man Cave called “The Zoo” every male ever dream of, it’s also my dream too to have a show room with diecast, combining with cafe and some 1:1 displayed.

從今天的新聞看來發展商終於按不住了，調整一觸即發，God Bless those who rushed into it!

天璽貨尾賣平兩成
新地低價散貨　料嚇散豪宅市場

新地（016）以回贈印花稅七成優惠，較市價平逾兩成開售九龍站豪宅天璽貨尾，搶先在同區新盤The Austin開賣前，截擊該盤客源。低價效應震驚區內市場，即時「炸毀」二手市況。業界恐怕已呈死寂的二手豪宅市場，勢陷癱瘓狀態。

將開賣新盤　訂價料添壓

新地落重本以大幅回贈印花稅70%作「殺手鐧」，平價推銷天璽。為推使「餓盤」已久的地產代理在淡市下落力促銷，據知，發展商向代理施展「重賞」制，視乎代理代客入票單位類型，可獲額外獎金18萬至38萬元不等。平價兼高獎金下，全城代理幾乎「一窩蜂」飛撲撈客，市傳昨日已初步錄得逾20張收票。二手市場雖暫未見業主割喉減價，但代理焦點落在天璽下，即時劈價，也難敵一手重賞誘惑，二手業主出貨更添困難。
美聯首席分析師劉嘉輝表示，二手豪宅市場受制於辣招，若是港人買入，須支付沉重的雙倍印花稅（DSD），若是外來買家就需付買家印花稅（BSD），目前面對一手豪宅推出優惠吸客，二手肯定受壓。政府不撤辣招，加上豪宅貨尾平賣，他預期二手豪宅將陷入凍結狀態。他稱：「不單是九龍站，全香港都凍結……好市時每周末日有100宗成交，正常五、六十宗，現在只在20宗以下。」他又謂整體樓市步入凍結狀態，辣招一日存在，樓市難逃寒冬。
利嘉閣總裁廖偉強相信，受豪宅盤平價推出影響，即將開賣的一手盤，訂價會有壓力。他指，政府設多項重稅後，豪宅市場不能只靠用家，亦需要長線投資者吸納，但重稅令買家卻步，「客少咗，銷情自然困難」，因重稅凍結一批豪宅買家，隨着發展商補貼大部份稅項，將釋放積聚已久的購買力。
資深投資者「山頂賴」賴可茵表示，今次新地減價賣天璽，既為出貨，達致貨如輪轉，亦為業績着想。她認為，不會影響二手豪宅，「呢點要睇二手業主嘅實力，我睇到天璽啲人好有實力，你有你賣，我有我唔賣咋嘛，我睇唔到香港豪宅即時會冧！」
不過，如果部份業主持貨力不足，對後市信心不大，就會被拋窒。對於減價會否震散二手豪宅，她稱：「永遠都有羊群，會有人減價出貨，但唔會多，好似太古城有個好平單位出貨，係咪等於太古城去到嗰個位呢，唔係㗎嘛！」

經濟學家：跌市訊號

以價單最貴單位為例，樓價6,813萬元，新地幫買家付稅高達2,074萬元。本地經濟學家關焯照表示，發展商明顯是「要錢唔要貨」，認為是跌市訊號。
若以最平一個實用面積435呎單位為例，定價1,283萬元，若屬內地買家，原本需要支付稅款約288萬元，但目前新地提供回贈，買家須付金額即降至86萬元，其餘202萬元稅款由新地支付。
對於大手筆代客付重稅，市場質疑發展商與政府有對着幹之嫌。新地副董事總經理雷霆表示，集團乃配合政府政策，希望樓價平穩，是次定價屬克制及合理，考慮到新條例下，樓宇交易成本高昂，買家付新稅制，應付首期之餘，並要即付稅項，負荷較大，集團希望幫到買家，遂一同承擔成本。
雷霆強調，周六發售首批30伙，其中8伙是「港人港樓」，只限售予港人，並指下一批加推單位，將港人港樓數目加大。至於是次重手回贈稅項達七成，強調非想招攬內地客，相信客源仍以本地客為主。
關焯照表示：「發展商知道豪宅唔妥，散貨囉！
