實習工作接近兩星期
感覺自己適應過來
一是早睡早起，二是獨自午膳
最初時候早上的時間會不禁打瞌睡
但是老細在此不能躲懶，只有熬過去
午飯時間只有自己走到鑽石山商場
剛吃飽就要回程，來回剛好是一個鐘
開始一星期的工作是學習使用一些攝像監察 (cctv surveillance) 軟件
嘗試各種功能和認識背後運作流程
其次是編寫一個簡單存取控制網頁程式，利用 asp.net 的 authentication 管理
但是遇到一個問題就是 iis 不能存取 microsoft sql server 的 mdf file
這個問題浪費了很多時間都無法解決
這個星期嘗試學習利用 opencv library analyse 圖像變化
問題是在新電腦安裝 windows server 2003 及其他程式時遇到很多錯誤
不斷尋找解決方案，重新安裝及等待
這些與程式編寫無關的過程浪費了這星期很多的工作時間
直至今天終於完成安裝並首次成功將圖像剪裁三分一大小
始知道自己的工作原來是甚麼
我開始掌握這份工作的明確方向
並衷心期望這個 project 的成功帶來對公司的貢獻
希望我能順利完成這個工作，證明自己的實力
另外，我發覺現在的工作時間把我大半的生活都奉獻給 office 去
晚上回到家吃個飯看一會電視，做完晚間新聞就要睡覺
或是出外吃飯逛一會便要回家
有幾天連上網的時間都沒有，有時甚至不想回到家又對著電腦
週末練波，睡覺，一星期只剩下一個星期天
想有甚麼娛樂悠閒就看這天了
我開始想像畢業後長期這樣的生活
原來家裡擺設怎樣不是一個重點
在家只要一切物品垂手可得便可以了
其他甚麼都不用講究
要爭取多點與人相處見面的時間
才可以善用緊揍的每一天

our fever
不幸的事自抵港後接連發生
先是她跟兩個同學同時發燒
接著持續發燒三天多
入院接受檢驗隔離，期間多次嘔吐頭痛
出院後仍然未有退燒
翌日感覺不適，我開始發燒全身肌肉酸痛
服多次必理痛也沒退燒
看急症，服消炎止痛
終至目前一切恢復過來

a trip to panyu with family
記低上個禮拜去「旅行」去咗邊
day 1
返大陸，惠州探親，呆坐，睇柴九，夜晚瞓覺俾蚊咬
day 2
去咗深圳布吉搵舅父，落車嗰時淋住雨過天橋，同狗仔玩，吸二手煙
呆坐，夜晚食所謂粵菜，實質唔知咩嚟，夜晚俾蚊咬，冇風扇又冇冷氣
day 3
坐車返羅湖，坐大巴去番禺，途中個司機開到肯定超過 120 咪，左 cut 右 cut，狀甚恐怖，驚心動魄，完全唔敢瞓覺
跟住坐公車去星河灣，點知去咗星河灣國際公寓，要搭穿梭巴士過返酒店嗰邊
四點幾要搵嘢食，就咁行出去啲路旁嘅石壆，行咗去兩條公路匯合處，要同啲車鬥快衝過去，有如搵命搏
根本嗰個時間冇嘢食，上咗架的士兜咗我哋去好遠，聲稱嗰道先有好嘢食
嗰道叫洛溪食街，好似真係有好多唔同風味，不過唔係食野味就係食辣嘢，我發覺原來成個中國咁大大部份嘅風味都唔啱我，我都係鍾意食西餐多啲
佢哋要成五點先會開門，呆等超過半個鐘，好彩食嗰間東北美食都算 ok
跟住諗住搭返的士返酒店，點知行咗成三四條街都冇的士
跟住返到酒店個心先定返啲，有免費接駁車載我哋去長隆睇馬戲
馬戲都幾精彩，環境唔算太差，由於係行程一大重點，所以算係幾滿意
之後返去又有車接，成架車都係得我哋四個人
睇柴九、謎，浸浴缸，飲咗罐啤酒，借咗隻 dvd 嚟睇，點知畫面唔啱嘴形，夾硬要聽法文先搞得掂
day 4
食自助早餐，嘢食 ok，不過我都係鍾意香港嗰啲早餐，有包有蛋有碗粉
原本諗住去廣州食晏，點知成日係咁落雨，叫咗架的士車我哋去返番禺客運站
點知上咗車個司機坐地起價，我哋又喺返公路嘅天橋底落車，截咗成半個鐘都冇的士
結果有個揸私家車嘅見到我哋傾掂數俾我哋上
返到羅湖又話要去華僑城嗰邊食嘢，搭地鐵去到又搵唔到
企咗喺地鐵站出口等咗成半個鐘
嗰間嘢食上海嘢，都唔差嘅，不過嗰時我已經筋疲力盡，重要俾人怪責，非常委屈
終於可以回程返香港，返到嚟一天都光晒！
總括嚟講，旅行唔係唔鍾意，不過又要顧住佢哋啲魯莽嘅衝動同埋唔理智嘅決定，每次都要我用心咁鋪排一吓我點睇佢哋咁又有乜問題，事後重要俾佢哋反咬一口，真係唔知咁辛苦為乜
最滿意都係揀咗睇馬戲同埋間酒店，好在佢哋啲服務同表演都幾有質素，有啲出乎意料
真係好怕同佢哋外出旅遊，同埋好怕再去啲咁唔文明嘅地方，啲生活好難適應
好想自己真正咁去一次旅行
旅行原本唔應該係咁

google latitude
I'd like to introduce Google Latitude to you.
Google Latitude is a late Google product that gets your friends know the geolocation of you. That is it tells you where somebody physically is. It provides 2 ways as media to get the geolocation - mobile & iGoogle. On mobile, it is added to the Google Maps and located by cell ID or wireless connection (WiFi), whereas on iGoogle, it is entirely located by wireless connection.
How it works
According to the help articles, Google's WiFi location database is developed by getting use of the MAC address of the nearby WiFi access points. That is, it learns from the MAC address of the wireless access point that you have connected to and locates where you are. As what I have tried, the accuracy of the location is up to few hundred meters of the access point. And what Latitude claims is, similar to the access range of a WiFi router.
Applications
By inviting and confirmed by your friends, you can share your geolocation with your friends and see where they are. (Just give it a try!) And, Google has issued 2 more applications - Google Public Location Badge and Google Talk Location Status. The former one lets you publish your location on your blog or website, like what you see from the side bar of my site. The latter just shows your city-level location in text on Google Talk, as well as Gmail chat.
Privacy
The first idea that comes into my mind is that how can Google get my geolocation so accurately with which I just connect to the Internet and open the webpage. It can just locate my country with my unique IP address. Also, how is the information handled? Who else can see where I am when I am moving from here to there? I wonder if somebody else could use the same means to locate me and trace me...
I hope Google really carries out what it has promised in its strict privacy policy and handles it well as long as it always tries to store personal and private information of every single user in its database.
Add me if you've enabled it.

seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven Lonely Days - Georgia Gibbs
Seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were through
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you
Oh my darling you're crying
There's no use in denying I cried for you
It was your favourite pastime making me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you
Seven hankies blue I filled with my tears
Seven letters too I filled with my fears
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you
剛好就是過了七天，歌詞第一句很深刻，聽起來很貼切
歌詞不是我的意思，只不過近來對這首懷舊經典金曲提起了興趣
皆因早前在 youtube 看了一段紀錄香港六十年代生活的片段
背景音樂正是《Seven Lonely Days》的國語版本《給我一個吻》，由張露主唱
片段的懷舊古典音樂，加上昔日香港的環境風貌
令我這個生於八十年代末的後生小子感到很有趣味
說回這首歌，在網上找了好幾個不同版本
獨是喜愛這把聲音和演奏，來自 1953 年 Georgia Gibbs
她是誰？大概就是一位五十年代的美國歌手吧
嘩，當時我的父母也未出世
不知道你喜歡張露的《給我一個吻》還是她的《Seven Lonely Days》？
想看上述片段的可到我的 youtube channel，在 favourites 裡面
