又買了game - Metroid prime hunters


今晚同wendy去了灣仔買game, 佢買左 Mario Kart 同 Tetris, 我買左 Metroid Prime Pinball with rumble pack, 好明顯我係睇中個rumble pack啦! 連game只賣$130, 都幾抵, 有幾隻game 原來用左 rumble pack會幾過癮, 例如 Magnetica. 當然, 波子機都不錯!

踩單車受傷[二]

今日又去了踩單車,今次由屯門直入天水圍西鐵站,之後見到另一條單車徑,就試一試啦。
一直踩都唔知自己踩左去邊,原來在天耀村對面的河邊,踩了一陣又見到另一條路,於是又去了試踩(後來返屋企看地圖才知道是差不多到流浮山),踩下踩下去到好遠,又冇乜人,諗住影下相就返天水圍了。貪方便,未停定單車就拎了電話出來,點知一拎高個電話就失去平行,差少少就反車,最後係冇反車的,但係就撞到小腿,又受傷了...好痛!
痛住踩返天水圍,返到之後又冇咁痛了,於是就踩了到最遠的天恒村,見到路牌話前面係濕地公園,不過驚頂唔順踩返屯門,所以就返轉頭了。
返到天水圍西鐵站之後就回程了,到了朗屏也沒有吃東西就返屯門,踩得好快好順。
不過今次沒有飲食,返到屋企好累好累,於是十一點左右就睡了。

Ubuntu 6.10

Office desktop cannot install Fedora Core 6 (don't know why, anaconda occupied 99% CPU time without any output), and luckily today is release day of Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), so I would like to give it a try.

My office desktop only got 256Mb RAM, it tooks about 10 minutes for Ubuntu live CD to boot into the GNOME desktop. And Ubuntu server seems slow and busy, so in the installation stage, which required download some langauge support packages, it tooks nearly one hour to finish.
After installation, reboot and the familiar Ubuntu screen came up, the default installation is very simliar to Fedora Core 6 but the GNOME version is 2.16.1 instead of FC6's 2.16.0, and the theme seems a bit better look than FC6.
But the default installation of Ubuntu has NO support of AIGLX, but luckily, I found the method to install the beryl and emerald packages, after some apt-get and config file tweaks, I got the latest AIGLX enabled desktop!

World Trade Center

今晚去了睇『世貿中心』,故事係講幾個警察在911現場救人,人未救到,世貿已經倒下,壓在瓦礫下。被困時各人都有自己的感想,有些都幾感人的。最後死了一個,另外兩個獲救。
一路看,一路好感動,覺得應該珍惜身邊的人。因為每日都可能是最後一日。

Fedora Core 6



Long time since last time I tried RedHat products, maybe 5 years or so.
Today (last night, to be exact) Fedora Core 6 released and I found it got some fun new features like aiglx support out of the box, and GNOME 2.16, at the same time, my iBook's SUSE 10 seems not working very fine esp. updating, so I gave fedora a try today.
First install, I set the partitions myself, but after installation it cannot bootup, i guessed it should be due to missing Apple bootstrap partition for boot loader. So I reboot it again with the installation disc, and this time I let the installation program do the partitioning itself, it setup the Apple bootstrap partition correctly and it CAN boot!
Basically, after installation, everything works except:
1. keyboard shortcut for volume control and eject disc, this need manually set in GNOME, and for brightness control, seems the system and also GNOME respond to my keystroke, that made the behavior a little bit strange, but OK, at least it works.
2. wireless network, due to missing firmware files from Airport Extreme, I got the fwcutter program from bcm43xx project and got the firmware files from Mac OS driver, it works afterwards, but NetworkManager doesn't work, seems it assume the network is unencrypted, and ignore my configuration at all.
3. Power management didn't work, under SELinux, some files has protection and even the system itself cannot read/write/access, when SELinux was disabled, it worked, seems need some study to make power management works under SELinux, temporary workaround is to chmod 666 /dev/pmu.
4. Firewire didn't work, tried 3 times, once connected, it crashed with a kernel debugger like screen. I guessed it was due to the HFS+ partition for Mac OS X on the harddisk box, but it was not the reason, because there was no problem when using the internal harddisk's HFS+ partition. So the reason should be due to sbp2 driver or ohci1394 driver, fix it later.
Basically, under GNOME, all distribution (even OpenSolaris, FreeBSD) looks very similar, and that's very good.
But I still like slackware and gentoo more. :)

單車新紀錄

上次修好了後車軩, 今日又去踩單車, 先去新墟幫前軩充氣, 果然, 兩條軩都充好氣之後, 踩都踩得快d!
今次又快左, 30幾分鐘就入到天水圍了, 去銀座行了一陣, 又踩去有叉用, 再去朗屏, 然後返屯門, 一路都踩得好快.
我覺得我踩單車越來越好!!

無啦啦又去了旺角

今晚原本是諗住放工過旺角幫 Josephine 拿相片, 然後返屋企的.
下晝 Ken 提議去買 DS browser, 身為任天堂代言人, 我當然一齊去啦, 又順便約(引)埋 Angel
去買, 結果就無啦啦有晚餐+shopping了.
放工後坐火車到了旺角, 先到先施大廈拿相, 好快就找到了, 但該大廈原來好多"賓館"! 好在只係俾大陸旅客暫住的, 不是開房用... 好在沒有叫 Angel 來, 都好雜下!
拿相之後, Angel 已在先達等到發呆了. 齊人之後就上先達 shopping 啦!
原來周圍都冇 DS browser 賣, 唯有行下啦, 行行行, 好搞笑, 我地見到 Mario 野就發癲, 結果當然係買了野啦. Angel 買了點頭公仔扭蛋一套, 我就買了 Mario 水水玩具一套(8隻 $120).

買完野已經成9點了, 去了沙爹王食飯, 順便打下機...
Tetris 同 Club House Games 已經是大家必玩的遊戲了, 哈哈哈, 多人玩真係好正!
最後我們玩到10點半才回家, 好累呢.

Club House Games




星期一買了新Game - Club House Games, $230, 有42個小遊戲,包括好多牌類、棋類遊戲,適合同朋友一齊玩!今日終於學識點玩 Hearts (傷心小棧)了!

為了他 我穿上紅鞋
繽繽紛紛 世界照亮煙花與路牌

*亦舞擺 行入長的街
 趣緻眼角(要愛便愛)任意去收買
 盡情賣 即刻對天留住你 全球歡呼都了解*

#漆黑中擁吻有(我)多好
 浪漫記錄 心愛主角沒有難度
 動人時刻跑得快 留低溫馨走進夢間地帶

 譜出經典迷人曲譜(抓緊這一剎會多好)
 慢慢揭露 秘密裡喜歡你像狂盜
 覓尋幸福的指數 憑感覺 綻放耀眼曙光#

為了他 愛高格名牌
胭脂掃找到 迷戀沒嬌裝 我越乖
穿梭花都 競逐艷陽去 全力愛高姿態

大巧合

今朝 10點幾, 王生打黎找人幫手, 佢的email check不到, 阿明不在, 我做.
11點左右, 有幾部機斷了 network, 唔知咩事, 過左一陣發覺係 hubs 死左
之後... Oldfield and Ken 佢地講, 唔知阿明會不會發夢見到d 野死晒火?
我話: 可能佢會"責"醒左, 打電話番黎問添!
點知...不足10 秒後, 我電話響!!!
竟然係 Anna打來問有冇咩事發生! (但佢係問出糧) 真神奇!

單車換軩

頭先去踩單車,踩得好辛苦,原來我的車軩爆了,踩踩下有個阿叔過我頭,之後同我講:「你後面爆軩呀! 冇晒氣喎!」
換左之後踩得極快,完全唔同晒,只係$30。

清閑的周末

由於阿媽去了大陸, 阿爸和阿妹返工, 今天一早起身(其實都10點了) 屋企得我一個, lunch 點算呢? 結果係自己去了吉之島行, 順便睇下games, 在置樂的M記食新的套餐, 好貴...
冇買games, 返屋企打下機, 等今晚的 BBQ.
阿媽大約4點左右回到屋企, 原來阿婆跌親斷了骨(老了, 跌一跌都好大件事), 大陸的pk醫生, 竟然要收2萬元手續費! 仲要係公立醫院... 據說要住一至兩星期醫院添呀. 仲話駁完未必行得番, 有冇搞x錯?!
晚上去了龍鼓灘 BBQ, 話就話在屯門, 我覺得去尖沙咀/天水圍好似仲快好多! 燒烤樂園好多食物呀, 食到好飽!

黑色星期五

今日下晝接到阿媽的電話, 在大陸住的外婆跌親, 佢要返大陸睇佢, 今晚唔返香港.
晚上阿媽再call我話在醫院, 要明天先返來, 希望外婆冇事啦.
今晚同 Wendy 食飯, 打機, 她 Tetris 太勁了, 跟本不是她的手腳.
然後又看她表演, 可惜數十場對電腦全敗! 哈哈...

Shopping @ 188

Tonight went to Wan chai 188 with Wendy to buy DS lite for Josephine.
Finally bought $1500 with DS lite pink color, 1G mini SD, supercard mini SD with rumble.
However it is NOT flashed, when I try it at home, so silly me.
But luckily I have PASSME2, finally, I flashed it myself...
I also flashed my 2nd hand DS with flashme v7, can use my newly bought DSLink, and also it supports 4 level brightness.

Adware/Spyware/Virus

My sister's PC was infected by some adware or spyware last night, seems related to mmsassist or something like that, it will hijack the system and randomly open Internet explorer to go to some website in mainland.
I found the infected files but once I deleted them, they will simply regenerated by some process, even in safe mode.
Tried until 1:00 am last night and cannot find good method to remove it. I decided to reinstall Windows tonight.

二手冰藍 NDS & 迷你南丫島海鮮團

終於忍不住, 今日去了買番一部二手的舊NDS用住先, 保護得不錯, 看落好似好新, 不過上螢幕就有一個死點, 算啦, $530 真係算平了!



買完之後急忙返屋企拿game, 再出街, 因約了josephine, johnny, claudia, fu 去南丫島食海鮮.
4點半船, 去到大約5:15, 行了一陣, 買手信, 我買了蝦膏, 菜乾和蝦乾, 都幾好味咁!
6點開始食野, 不過今晚放煙花, 所以7:30左右要走了.
今晚食了 蟶子, 象拔蚌, 扇貝, 賴尿蝦, 咕嚕肉和菜, 好飽呢.
Josephine 也想買NDS了, 過幾日幫佢去買先.

XEN 3 working!

Finally made XEN working on my gentoo box.
For record:
1. emerge xen-sources
2. copy using kernel config to .config, then make oldconfig
3. make menuconfig and enable dom0 support, and those backend and frontend drivers
4. make the kernel and modules, install, reboot from that new kernel, but remember to edit grub.conf or menu.lst:
title Gentoo Linux (xen)
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/xen.gz dom0_mem=384M
module (hd0,1)/kernel-genkernel-x86-xen0-2.6.16.28-xen root=/dev/hda5 quiet
5. install xen utilities, start at bootup
6. get some distribution images to test :-)
7. make domU kernel and modules by the same kernel source, but remove dom0 support,
and those backend drivers
8. mount the distribution image, copy the kernel modules for domU into it
7. config the xend for network bridge in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp:
(network-script network-bridge)
(vif-script vif-bridge)
8. remember to turn on ip forwarding in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
9. umount the distribution image
10. config the distribution config file, eg. for debian 3.1 image:
name = "debian.3-1"
memory = 128
vif = [ 'ip=192.168.0.200' ]
kernel = "/xen-vm/kernels/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.8-xenU"
disk = ['file:/xen-vm/debian.3-1.img,sda1,w', 'file:/xen-vm/debian.swap,sda2,w']root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
11. after all, reboot and enjoy :-)
