Creators of any website that resembles my homepage must be vi-addicted. *grin*

The author is crazy enough to implement hjkl keystrokes for movement in the search results, i for insert, commands like :q and :help for quit and help messages, etc. There is also a status bar at the bottom that looks exactly like a normal vim. Uber-cool.

RAYS TS silently evolves to be Web 2.0

RAYS TS, the advanced cinema ticketing system written in Java Swing, will not just be able to sell tickets and manage box office any more. The new version, which is to be launched after alpha test is finished, will fully embrace the web 2.0 framework by switching from Java Swing to the rich client paradigm. New features include blogging and social networking. The idea is to help you make more friends while you are buying tickets, and encourage more user-contributed contents. The system will automatically match up frequent visitors who watch the same movies as you and the RAYS TS backend system will send you SMS whenever there is a match. Every web page will be splashed with lots of (i.e. more than what you need) icons so that you can add our site to popular bookmarking and news reading sites easily, those include del.ico.us, Technorati, Bloglines, ViVi, Newsgator, Pluck, Newsburst, Rojo, Kinja, Feedlounge, to name a few. The whole website will be AJAX driven so users can enjoy the ability to drag-and-drop. In the test we did, we found that you could drag up anything and then dropped it to anywhere, pretty cool.

Apparently, RAYS TS is a web 2.0 product that any VC shouldn’t miss out, I think it’ll become really hot, and I predict that their new website (with the word “beta”, of course) will be launched very soon. As any web 2.0 website does, it has a unique (or not so unique) logo, with the shadow effect, the “beta” tag, and in a cozy light blue color tone.

讓我想一想

讓我想一想 ~ 陳綺貞

漫步在荒原我想找一棵棲身的樹
有陽光 有流水 還有微風吹
該如何面對這未知的一切
讓自己的思緒沉澱
隨著天色的改變 心情的外衣也要多加一件
這些對 那些好 我想追 我想逃
其實我也害怕 可不可以就這樣停下來
我要多一點時間好讓我再想一想

隔著玻璃窗我早已沉醉在藍色的街
有寂寞 有笑語 有看不見的雪
該如何整理這忙亂的城市 還有我的心事
躲在十二月熱鬧的夜 我只要一個人安安靜靜地
甚麼對 甚麼好 不要問 不要猜
不要太靠近我 可不可以勇敢的停下來
我要多一點空間 好讓我再想一想

漫步在荒原我想找一棵棲身的樹
有陽光 有流水 還有微風吹

The Eight-honor and Eight-shame

In order to promote the great thoughts of our supreme party of the people and mother country (note that “party”, the Communist party, must be put in the front before anything) to all those gwai lous living in China, I hereby shamelessly copy-and-pasted the English version of the new thinking put forward by out party in this year, by which Chinese people are being educated, on TV, in taxis, posters on the streets, everywhere – the Eight-honor and Eight-shame (八荣八耻)!!!!!!!!

Eight-honor and Eight-shame (八荣八耻)

Honor to those who love the motherland,
and shame on those who harm the motherland.
以热爱祖国为荣、以危害祖国为耻

Honor to those who serve the people,
and shame on those who betray the people.
以服务人民为荣、以背离人民为耻

Honor to those who quest for science,
and shame on those who refuse to be educated.
以崇尚科学为荣、以愚昧无知为耻

Honor to those who are hardworking,
and shame on those who indulge in comfort and hate work.
以辛勤劳动为荣、以好逸恶劳为耻

Honor to those who help each other,
and shame on those who seek gains at the expense of others.
以团结互助为荣、以损人利己为耻

Honor to those who are trustworthy,
and shame on those who trade integrity for profits.
以诚实守信为荣、以见利忘义为耻

Honor to those who abide by law and discipline,
and shame on those who break laws and discipline.
以遵纪守法为荣、以违法乱纪为耻

Honor to those who uphold plain living and hard struggle,
and shame on those who wallow in extravagance and pleasures.
以艰苦奋斗为荣、以骄奢淫逸为耻

來自当当网的奇怪短信

前天突然收到一個莫名其妙的短信,內容如下:

恭喜您成为当当网VIP体验会员。VIP帐户名:xxxxxxx@yyyyyy.zzz 密码:dangdang,请查询当当网“我的帐户”

表面看這個短信好像沒甚麼特別,但是其中有兩個疑點。疑點一,我從來没有把我的個人資料給当当网,從來沒有注冊會員,更不用說曾經使用他們的服務了。疑點二,這個更可疑,短信裡面的那個VIP帳戶竟然是我留給卓越网作為通信電郵的那個電郵地址!我可以肯定那個電郵地址我只用在卓越网,因為我在不同的网站都是用不同的電郵地址的(不要問我為甚麼我有這麼多不同的電郵地址)。這個可不得了,当当网怎麼會擁有我的卓越网的個人資料?是因為這兩家網站有合作嗎?還是因為卓越网的會員資料被涉露了,或者被当当网的員工用某种方法取得卓越网的個人資料,換句話說就是被盜用了?

為了求證,我打了電話給当当网,当当网的客服說這個短信只會寄給已注冊的用戶。但問題是我從來沒有在当当网注冊過,客服人員幫我查到我的注冊時間,日期是 2006-05-22,就在十幾天前,我就莫名其妙的注冊了,而且電郵地址是我只會在卓越网用的那個,密碼也是一個簡單得過份的密碼 (dangdang),試問我又怎會用這種密碼呢。只能说,非常可疑。
