點解單車可以咁穩定？

2011-04-19T22:55:00.003+08:00

現代單車已經發明左百幾年，全球已生產了數以十億計的單車了。但為什麼單車可以那麼穩定的呢？過去一直認是啤車輪子的鉈鑼儀效應 (gyro effect) 令單車可以直立，但其實科學家一直未能完全了解單車的物理學。

最新的 Science Daily 上的文章剛刊登了最新研究表示 gyro-effect 未必是單車可以穩定地直立的主要原因。

Bicycle tyre design

2011-04-19T22:43:00.002+08:00

Some friends brag about how good the thread design, how it increase the grip and improve the brake ability. Actually, tyre thread only matter in off-road cases. On-road, whether it's wet or dry, the thread design doesn't matter at all.

A very good article the I pull-up from the Internet explained this. You may also search about hydro-plating on the Internet and you will understand why bicycle tyres don't need threads to remove water during wet-road.

政府宣布支持申辦亞運－極混賬的香港政府！！

2010-12-14T20:32:00.002+08:00

政府宣布支持申辦亞運！

政府在12月6日公佈申訴亞運諮詢結果時，當時公佈的結果是：
1）委託中大亞太研究所，於十一月中至十二月初訪問了一千八百多人：
贊成申辦的有四成六；反對的略高一點，有四成八。（由專業機構做的研究，結果較為接近民情吧！）

2）政府的公眾諮詢，透過電郵、傳真等，收到五千多名人士意見：
近七成人贊成申辦，約三成人不贊成申辦。（這類公眾諮詢，取樣不平均，亦大受有關機構提供的意見左右，不是科學的民調方法，只算是聽取意見的一個方法。簡單分成贊成／反對，而把結果當成贊成的意見居多，簡直混賬！）

3）政府又去信七十四個體育總會：
當中大多數表示支持申辦二零二三年亞運。（體育會梗係贊成啦，白痴！）

4）截至十二月一日，政府申辦亞運的討論區，共錄得一萬九千多則留言：
贊成和反對意見亦是相若。（討論區留言點統計？點知兩方意見相若？）

但政府的總結意見係“贊成與反對意見相若”。一個如此亂黎的conclusion，如果這是大學生的統計project，肯定不合格！

今天政府竟然話：“經過諮詢市民，收到不少支持意見” 所以決定申亞！

如此王八的政府，真的不知要說些甚麼了！

Mobile Guard - 清理你的 Symbian 手機

2010-12-10T10:53:00.003+08:00

上回在手機上刪掉 SPB Mobile Shell 後，念念不忘那十分好用的介面，決定找一個程式幫助清理一下手機上的內存，給我找到了 Mobile Guard。

原來有幾個程式即使沒有在表面運行，也會在背後常駐的，這包括了 Whatsapp 及 Worldmate。Mobile Guard 可以禁止這些常駐的運行，清空了一些系統資源。在考慮過後，我亦把必須裝在手機主記憶體的 Whatsapp 刪掉，結果給我在手機上騰出了約20MB 的記憶。再次裝上SPB Mobile Shell 後，這回可順利運行了。

樂透。

SPB Mobile Shell 試用記

2010-12-05T22:05:00.004+08:00

SPB Mobile Shell 是在 Windows CE 年代一個非常受歡迎的 Shell 軟件。它的介面有點像 HTC 的，絕對可以令沉悶的 Symbian 系統耳目一新，甚至令手機更加易用。當我看到OVI Stores 上有試用版時，忍不住下載來試一試。

初初試用的感覺非常好。它運作的速度很快，動畫漂亮，用家自訂的程度也很大。使用後的感覺非常好，覺得自己的手機升了兩級，也不怕其他人看不起我的Cheap 機…… “看！我我手機跟你的android 沒差啊！”

只是它佔用的系統資源頗多，很別是在5230這部內存和運算速度都不足的手機上問題更大！初初用時我被迫從主記憶體刪去幾個少用的程式，包括 Facebook及 PDF Reader 等，試了幾天好像沒有大問題。但這幾天卻發現手機比較不穩定，有時使用中的程式會無故關掉，更甚者是試一兩次要關機重開。可惜的是手機主記憶體上已沒有多餘的程式可以再刪，而SPB Mobile Shell 亦不可以簡單地關掉，迫不得而唯有把它刪去。

再見吧 SPB Mobile Shell，我會懷念你漂亮的介面…… 可惜是我的下價手機不爭氣，真的用不了。對不起！

Nokia OVI 地圖北京導航體驗

2010-07-09T22:54:00.004+08:00

舊的手電壞了，去買了一台Nokia 5230，約港幣一千一百元，使用Symbian 作業系統，功能除了 wifi 上網外一應俱全，算是最便宜的 smartphone 吧。

換手機沒幾天便到北京自遊行去了，順便一試內置的地圖及導航功能。在沒有數據傳送的情況下，手機定位不算太快，導航功能也算可以。加上地圖內建有食店、購物點、地鐵站、觀光點等資料，對一家大小自由旅行的人相當有用。例如我要找我附近的食店，軟件便可以列出食店的名稱及距離，選好你要去的店家後點選“導航“手機便會帶你去；很是方便。

當其他作業系統的導航軟件動輒要售數百元港幣，一千一百元的手機免費送你軟件，Nokia 真的很大方。沒錯 google map 是免費的，內建的資料也很齊全；但卻沒有觀光點或食店資料，也沒有真正的導航功能（有分步行或開車模式，並且能向使用者發出語音指示如何轉向等）。

Vault in Aperture

2010-02-04T23:17:00.004+08:00

It was not working properly before, when I was using a FAT32 external HDD. I reformatted the HDD to HFS (mac disc format), and the Vault do work flawlessly!

I guess the major difference is the HFS disc works much faster than a FAT32 one. Another reason may be I am using a USB external.... too bad I have the Unibody Macbook Ver 1, which came without the firewire port. Sigh!

我一向覺得戰地記者是最值得敬仰的一群。他們追求的不是名，不是利；不單與家人及朋友長期分開，更要身陷險景：近年在一些戰時中，記者更加是攻擊的對象！他們為的，只是把真相以影像方式赤裸裸地展示，不擺佈不加個人意見……

這才是攝影呀！

不禁又想起何志遠常問的：What is photo? Photo is what?

肯得基的故事

2009-05-14T01:13:00.002+08:00

當肯得基不是炸雞而是烤雞，結果可能未有定案，但推出時卻受了一個慘痛的教訓！

近日肯得基在老家推出 Kentucky Grilled Chicken。要放棄上將家傳秘方，當然會受到不少的阻力。過去可口可樂就嘗過改變原有產品配方而大敗一仗。肯得基公司為了成功推出新產品，準備了一個大型廣告計劃，推廣 "Unthink KFC"。成功與否未可得知，但一個沒有深思的試食推廣卻先令公司倒了一大交！

事緣於5月4日，肯得基透過名咀 Oprah Winfrey 在電視推出試食，觀眾只需於兩天內在名咀的網站下載換領劵，便可以換取2件烤雞連同2款小食及鬆餅。結果在兩天內共有一千多萬張的換領劵被下載，更有不計其數的換領劵影印本。快餐店外大排長龍，食客投訴店員服務態度差劣，更有分店亁脆不接受換領劵。

兩天之內，肯得基共送出了4百多萬份套餐。在一片亂子之後，公司發覺最少還有6百萬份套餐未有送出！為此，肯定基只好宣佈收回試食的承諾。

這KGC成功得罪了三大 Stack holders：未能換到食物的顧客自然臭駡白衣上將；傳媒（特別是 Winfrey 小姐）亦不爽；而因於是次推廣中特計經營店需自費負責送出的食物成本，亦相當的不快！

其實差不多的蝦轆推廣香港近來亦出現了一次。九龍香格里拉酒店上月接受頭條日報訪問時，便承諾了一個自助餐的推廣：任何人於生日當天惠顧自助晚餐，全台即享與壽星公／女年紀的同等折扣，即假如是30歲，全台30％ off。推出後很多人帶同七八十歲的爸媽去慶祝生日，拿它一個2-3折的大優惠！結果酒店在數天後設限，優惠最多為半價，而加一小費亦以正價收取......

（話說小弟便拉了老爸及一家人去了，連同長者優惠及小孩優惠，加一亦以折扣價計算；結果是平均每人約$120結帳... :))

I Dreamed a Dream - Susan Boyle

2009-04-17T01:32:00.002+08:00

在 Youtube 上的片段

一個來自農村，又胖又醜的中年婦，在台上宣佈自己的夢想是當一個如 Elaine Page 般的成功歌手。她說，在近半個世記的人生中，她未嘗遇上任何能實驗夢想的機會；攝影機同時捕捉台下主持及觀眾的輕蔑神情......

她開腔了，唱的是 "I Dreamed a Dream"。歌的大意是：自幼的夢想因生活的折騰而未能完夢，在控訴生活的悲傷；在呼喚上天給予機會.....

她唱的就是自己的故事。

台下如雷動的掌聲隱藏著無言.....原來世間真的是有懷材而不遇，沒有機會就是沒有機會。沒有騙人！這現實恐怕是台下幸運的一群人沒法體會的。

The new iPOD Shuffle is out. Except the slick design, the new iPOD comes with a proprietary earphone connection and you have to control the iPOD with the earphone - that means you can only use the Apple earphone, say sorry for your Shure.

There is an interesting new feature call 'voice over' function. Basically, the iPOD will 'say' the information of the song you are listening to. I wonder how it handles the Chinese song information...... ;)

My new running shoes - Adidas Adizero Tempo

2009-03-01T01:13:00.004+08:00

I like my yellow color Mizuno Wave Elixir, and used it a lot beside jogging. It's good enough for jogging (when new), but it's getting old and I need to replace it. Since I now have 2 Mizuno, so I decide on another brand, and I chosen this:

Adidas' new running shoes series have bet positive reviews from users around the world, and the Tempo is a good looking shoes. Light, slim, and suit for moderate pronators.

I wear it for a 9KM jog tonight, and find the shoes to be quite good. The Tempo is slightly weaker in cushioning then the Elixir, but the support is better. Need to see how it goes when use it for longer mileages.

Overall, the Mizuno Wave Inspire is still most suitable for my jogging. It's best in support and control, and the sole is very durable. The only drawback is weight.

Comparing my 3 shoes:
Weight: Tempo < Elixir < Inspire
Support: Elixir < Tempo < Inspire
Cushion: Tempo = Elixir < Inspire

財政預算案

2009-02-25T15:08:00.005+08:00

今天公佈的財政預算案，一如早前放風之預計，只有一點點的舒困措施，包括退稅減差餉等老技倆，但沒有大膽的振興經濟方案，我相當失望。

是次財政預算中的措施，可草分為下面的類別：

１．　派糖　（減稅，免差餉，減租）
一點點的退稅及減差餉，在現時那麼差的消費氣氛下，對推動消費起不了甚麼大的作用。老實說，我倒不會因為退了稅而去買多一支鏡頭。

２．　購買就業　（大學畢業生實習計劃）
這是一個浪費而且對就業率沒甚幫助的白痴措施。政府資助實習生的人工，但經濟沒起色，生意及工作量沒增加，你是老闆會怎做呢？炒掉一些舊人就是了！

３．　以政府開支創造就業　（樓宇更新大行動，提升政府大樓及公共設施的能源效益）
這是一個較正確的方向。在蕭條時增加公共開支以促進經濟活動，是傳統經濟學，人人皆知。預算案所提的開支雖算是可快速進行的項目，但想深一層，那不是一早該做的事情嗎？只是老調重彈吧？這一方向的建議只有少少的三數項，在當前的經濟危機下未免是少得可憐！

４．　新的金融業點子（政府債券、開發伊斯蘭金融）
這可算是有點新意（雖然是早幾年已有人提出）。但當前世界的金融市場正重新洗牌中，老美的債券也尚且要‘求’人去買，香港政府算是甚麼？而新金融市場的發展可不是說完可以做，是要時間讓國際市場接受的。要救水深火熱的經濟，太遠了。

５．　繼續研究
那些甚麼開拓新興市場、推動科技發展、推動旅遊、優化監管制度等，統統可歸納為繼續研究，不值一晒！回歸後政府在經濟機會一課上的不斷研究，至今尚沒有一個頭緒來，亦沒有甚麼實質結論或成績，頂多其志可嘉。希望能借此解救經濟衰退也未免太樂觀了。

６．　例行事項
其他一堆的優化生活、支援基層、教育投資等等等等，都是負責任政府日常該做的，不算得是解決經濟問題的方案。

我認為在這次金融海嘯下，香港要把本土經濟市道保持下去，就業及經濟收縮才不致太壞。旅遊業固然是一條救命繩，但本地的消費倒也重要。對外出口等經濟活動較為被動及難以控制，本土經濟的‘塘水滾塘魚’就不能忽視。一些鼓勵消費的政策不難推出，例如減免高消費品的稅項（樓房，車等）、又或是各行業的促銷活動購物節等（去年12月的電腦節人流不就破了之前的記錄嗎？），務求市面氣氛鬧哄哄.....

但這次預算案對如何搞熱本土經濟隻字未提，我認為是最大的敗筆！

OLD LADY'S LETTER TO HER BANK

2009-02-25T00:08:00.002+08:00

Get this from an e-mail.... this is funny!

--------
Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86-year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times.

Dear Sir:

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month.

By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways.

I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.

From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a Flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.

Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contract which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.

I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows:

IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH

#1. To make an appointment to see me

#2. To query a missing payment.

#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

#4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping

#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.

#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home

#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.

#8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.

#9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.

#10. This is a second reminder to press* for English. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?

Your Humble Client.

Remember: This was written by an 86 year old woman) 'YA JUST GOTTA LOVE ' US SENIORS' !!!!!

答案很簡單，一字記之曰：膠！

Microsoft Shop?

2009-02-15T23:38:00.003+08:00

報導說 Microsoft 有意開設零售點。

Microsoft 有這構思，明顯是受到Apple Shop 的成功例子所影響吧。Apple Shop 無疑為 Apple 的產品披上更高級的型像，但同樣的策略於 Microsoft 同樣可行嗎？

Apple　賣的多是硬件及配件，這樣的產品確實需要一個零售的地方讓顧客可以 touch & feel 有關產品；而零售點的設計及裝璜等的確可以為顧客對產品之感覺來個錦上添花。可是，Microsoft 賣的以軟件為主，如何可以借零七點增強顧客的感受？即使Microsoft 有少量的配件產品，但也大多是爛東西，跟本對零售業務沒大幫助。

且看M$店的下文如何吧！

用啪啪紙做炸彈？

2009-02-12T01:14:00.003+08:00

有人用啪啪紙整炸彈炸傷

真係蠢到無倫！啪啪紙既火藥少得可憐，要好多先可以整倒炸彈，價錢又貴，拆幾多先夠？係整都用火柴啦！犯法都要醒D先得架....　唔死都冇用！

我的 LG KS20

2009-02-11T00:50:00.001+08:00

係 Windows Mobile 既機之中，呢部都算靚仔，亦都係眾多 WM手機中最輕既一部。我一出就買，不但貴，而內置既firmware 亦係最舊既，常常當機，故使用感覺很差。未知升級 firmware 會不會好一點。由於發生了一點意外，所以我的 KS20的保用己失效，不然跑上代理升級 firmware 試一試。

中國不滿賴昌星獲加工作證

2009-02-10T22:46:00.002+08:00

中國外交部表示不滿賴昌星獲加工作證。

大概中國政府真的不知法治的概念吧！姓賴的跑到加拿大，你中國政府要求引渡的官司還沒有完結，姓賴的就是一個無罪之身。既是無罪之身，那居住期許滿獲發工作許可又有甚麼問題？

外交部這個聲言，似乎有點失禮世人！

LG MINI HIFI 駁 iPOD = 災難

2009-02-10T00:26:00.003+08:00

上幾個月買部 LG 電視，送部 mini-Hifi，都算幾正。

放賣左成個月都冇人吼，卒之拆盒自用。Ｄ聲..... 普通 mini-Hifi 聲，有收音機，有 USB Port 又有ipod port, 駁 USB 手指播歌都可以，不過因為選歌好煩，部hifi 又冇中文display，所以今早試下駁部 ipod nano (第一代)試下。唔試由自可，一試把幾火！！駁左ipod 後部ipod 出左一個怪icon，跟住點都認唔倒部ipod內既歌；unplug　啦，點知ipod 開唔番，駁入電腦，又認唔番...... 頂！唔通咁就要報費？

Trees are tough.

When there are obstacles, trees will wait patiently for the obstacles to disappear.

If obstacles persist, trees will try the way around it, and embrace the obstacles as part of the tree trunk.

Wish I were them.

Using super glue to seal wounds?

2009-01-07T23:23:00.005+08:00

James told me that we can use AA super glue to seal wounds, that surprised me.

Googling a bit, I find James was actually telling the truth. However, there are some tricks. The regular household super glue is good for seal wounds in emergency, and was actually used at war, but there are side effects that can cause problems. In recent years, however, there is a new formula of super glue being approved by FDA and a number of such glue was marketed - not only for first aid but also used in other medical areas.

This web-page explains very clearly.

Having said that, I have no intention to try that. If I would (touch wood) have a deep wound, I would rather call the ambulance.

Clueless 'Millionaire' Contestant Makes Worst Use Of Lifelines Ever

2008-12-12T19:38:00.003+08:00

Get it from e-mail....

NEW YORK - Idaho resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family Tuesday when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.'

It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question, and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use of lifelines ever.'
After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon she was posed with an extremely easy $100 question. The question was:
'Which of the following is the largest?'
A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large?
Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she realized that this was a question to which she did not readily know the answer.
'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief and disgust. 'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be.'
Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure.
'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans. 'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.'
Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question, Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant.
'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.'
Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds.
'Come on Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Puh, that can't be it.'
To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice and pick 'The Moon.'
'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright. So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans.
Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life.
'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know, sometimes you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see. For which is larger, an elephant or the moon, I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer.'
Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath, and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

對於拾級之路，我很失望、很倦。請容我停下來吧。就坐在梯級的一旁，唱唱歌看看世界……

7000 億救市夠唔夠?

2008-09-23T17:24:00.003+08:00

最新尚未通過既7000億救市計劃 (用以收購不良債務), 加埋美國早前既救市 (Bear Sterns, Fannie Mae / Feddie Mac, AIG....), 已經動用差唔多2萬億去救市. 好多錢!! 咁其實夠唔夠呢?

網上資料話全球既衍生工具規模超過500萬億, 2萬億都唔夠0.5%, 跌條毛都冇左. 如果真係咁.... 唔敢諗!!

咩野係迷你債券?

劉岩的悲劇

京奧／開幕彩排中高台上摔落　舞踏美女劉岩恐終身癱瘓

主流媒體完全沒有提及這一段新聞, 在國內甚至封鎖了有關這消息的網站, 至早一兩天這消息才慢慢流出. 莫非粉飾太平盛世比人道關心更為重要? 中國傳統既人文主義去左邊? 禮義之邦之名去了那裡?

劉岩的故事固然可悲, 但更可悲的是中國傳統價值的快速流失....

悲!

2008-08-13T23:41:00.002+08:00

果然係一個咩都假既國家... 甚至連奧運開幕都係假既... 真係死得!!

政府派錢解民困

派錢的確可以略舒民困. 但現時最大既問題唔係市民收入不足, 而係通脹太兇. 政府派錢不單對壓抑通脹無幫助; 更反而火上加油令通脹加劇!! 拿我讀得書少, 唔好呃我派錢可以解決香港當前既經濟問題呀!!

我對派錢舒解低層市民沒有太大意見, 但政府似乎對通脹問題無計可施, 就乾脆當睇唔倒... 費事提出黎講. 呢個政府都算屎勒!!

First check-up with my Stream

2008-07-04T22:13:00.002+08:00

With about 7 months usage, the mileage only is about 4500km. But it's time for the first check up and service, so I did it yesterday. As expected, the car is much quieter and a bit more powerful then before. (I actually had the same experience with my pervious car).

Now, I can race the engine without hesitation. I am considering options like stabilizers or air-intake filter.... lot of funs :) and lot of money :(
