Last night I gave a short presentation at Beijing Linux User Group (BLUG) on the Debian project and the new Etch release. As Roy Chan had given a talk about the new release in the Hong Kong Debian Etch release party, I asked for his permission to use his slides for this talk, and he happily agreed. I made some modifications to his slides and cut out the part about Linux introduction, you can find the presentation slides in OpenOffice.org 2 format here, PDF version here. In the meeting Darren mentioned the idea of using peer-to-peer technology in apt, so that users don’t need to set any repositories in the configuration, this is a very good idea, and coincidentally there is a Google Summer of Code project on this topic.

北京网通嘅寬頻用家真係幸福，宜家用緊 512K broadband 嘅用家可以免費加速到 1 M 咁多，好勁！睇嚟到香港有雙普選嘅時候，就係北京有 10 M broadband 嘅時候喇！

看看在北京 Walmart 找到的一本教日文的書，比起香港人用通勝學英文簡直有過之而無不及！

一直以為北京去香港的機票一般都是中國南方航空最便宜的（不過近來國泰已經有一些航班已經愈來愈平，通常都是些很早或者很晚的時間），殊不知到去哪儿？一查，竟然發現有更便宜的，不過不知道你敢不敢坐了！

I spotted some crappy English translations in Beijing’s Wangfujing bookstore, that’s quite funny.

“Horizontal Qualifying Examination of Computer”? So there must be some “vertical” examinations?

“Flushbonding” – a new word is invented!
