Crapfest :))

你做啥?不知道。长大以后想做啥?也不知道。:)

技术这个东东,好是好,到了一定程度,不是简化生活,而是使生活更加复杂。科技使人聪明,科技也使人觉得更加愚笨。:)Technology is crap.

有人爱动脑筋,钻技术的东西就觉得兴奋,因为脑筋受到了挑战。我们不行,大部分时候,稀里糊涂朝九晚五,知道工资在自动存往银行帐号里,埋头拉车,就不去抬头看路了。

吭吃吭吃捉小虫子的时候,也很难看到路。一点都感觉不到自己是在为人类作贡献。怀念农耕时代,自己种的粮食,收成好坏,好赖自己心里有点数。

这个星期产品发布,下周休息,加拿大还是得去,不过只能去一头,因为下周中途又有事情,决定先去多伦多/大瀑布,明年七月再去满地可(喜欢这个土名,蒙特利尔太雅太做作:)),赶那里的爵士乐节,魁北克城,离满地可不远之处,还有 Stowe, VT,《音乐之声》Trapp家住的地方。

Microsoft Vista shutdown menu has 7 options.

How many Microsofties does it take to implement the Off menu?

Every time you want to leave your computer, you have to choose between nine, count them, nine options: two icons and seven menu items. The two icons, I think, are shortcuts to menu items. I'm guessing the lock icon does the same thing as the lock menu item, but I'm not sure which menu item the on/off icon corresponds to.

The Windows Shutdown crapfest

I worked at Microsoft for about 7 years total, from 1994 to 1998, and from 2002 to 2006.

The most frustrating year of those seven was the year I spent working on Windows Vista, which was called Longhorn at the time. I spent a full year working on a feature which should've been designed, implemented and tested in a week. To my happy surprise (where "happy" is the freude in schadenfreude), Joel Spolsky wrote an article about my feature.

I would like to try to explain how this happened.

哈哈。

昨天女儿在那里发愁,说是想不好长大要做什么,做任何一行都有浪费自己其他方面才能的危险。我笑她,我到现在还不知道自己长大要做什么呢。

唉。小蚕同学,我们和你女儿都不知道长大后干什么,不过,还是有一个区别,我们已经知道我们不能干什么了。:)

管MM:刚回来,玩疯了,还没缓过神来。出门没带电脑,用朋友的,结果blue screen了,居然不知道怎么修。白靠“瘟豆”吃饭了。:(家里小朋友要开学了,马上又要进入军事化生活了,难过阿……
