係好耐好耐以前… 哦，其實無咁耐，由上一次正常更新到依家，都不過係過咗大半年。對上幾日突然興起，想再次有規律咁寫番啲野，所以決定由一篇2009下半年嘅回顧寫起。
話就話寫回顧，但真係要寫就唔知點寫好。或者咁講，2009年好似發咗一場夢。夢裏面我飛嚟飛去，發生咗好多好多係發夢之前我林都無林過嘅事。有開心，有唔開心。過咗一段時間，發覺雖然夢裏面有唔少快樂，但我始終唔想一世發夢。到咗應該起身嘅時候，就係應該起身。
一轉眼到咗年尾。12月我一個人搬咗去三藩市住，租咗一個小單位，$1200一個月。算係幾貴，但都算勉強維持得到之餘，仲可以有小小錢剩。一個人住生活變得充實好多。放工之後如果無同同事出去，就自己番屋企煮飯食。星期六日一係就番去父母嗰邊，一係就買餸清潔洗衫。時間少咗，但其實主要都係空閒時間，所以悶嘅感覺亦都少咗。
望番轉頭時間一定係過得好快，2009年都一樣。仲有兩個星期就到虎年，係牛年尾尾寫一啲無關痛痒事，所以用「虎頭牛尾」為題。
The end of an era:

GeoCities, a free Web hosting service that achieved fame in the mid-90s, died Thursday at the Yahoo headquarters in Silicon Valley. GeoCities was 15 years old.
Back in the days I had a GeoCities account too, but that was mostly neglected because of my Tripod sites. One of them is still working too, too bad I didn't have one of those visitor counters that were so popular in that era.
Shortly after graduating from HTML and Javascript, I moved on to this language that's used to make applets. I don't really remember why, but probably because books about Java are right next to books about Javascript. That's when I heard of this company called "Sun Microsystems", and thought that they were one of the coolest companies on Earth.
Fast forward couple years, when I was at Cal it's full of Sun machines. Those Ultrasparcs were slow, the userland was strange and difficult to get used to. Over time the department that I worked for started to switch away from Sparcs and Solaris, and their coolness factor faded.
Nevertheless, I was quite sad to hear that Sun was brought by Oracle. I can't quite find an obituary that's like the one for GeoCities, but I did find this picture taken by Kevin Krejci:

In other news, Hong Kong soccer announcer 林尚義 passed away yesterday.
May everyone R.I.P.!
雖然覺得社交網站大部份都好無聊，但有時無聊之中都會有趣事:
如果大家細個時有做過玩過以下既野, 就join 啦! 呢d先叫童真!
頭二十幾個有二十個我以前都做過，值得一提嘅有:
08: 食完瑞士糖之後, 將糖紙包番個原本四四方方果個形
14: 整濕d紙巾,掟上學校廁所天花頂
49: 沖廁：屙尿時出力射走屎
62: 筆跡足球: 雙方各用筆畫點在紙上....把筆放在點上再用食指放在筆頂...用力的壓....如此類推...墮著筆跡...看誰較快入對方的洞
64: 奇多圈: 唔需要多講...大家都應該知係咩~ 特別係男仔
93:「Pilot原子筆」陀螺: 玩法係將個銀色筆咀擰出黎，然後cup番入去，再借用手指力轉佢落檯，同其他同學仔鬥耐。想當年，大家真係上緊堂都偷偷地玩架！
97: 何濟公: 捉人隻鬼跑到埋身「何」左做無事，又可以「自解」、「碰解」、「遙距解」...好鬼茅
當然，以上嘅我都做過。可惜嘅係，去唔到呢個聚會:

在校方的嘗試下，海爾頓的移民生考試成績並不比本土生差。有支持現行政策的老師 說，移民生如要日後在社會上成功，能依靠的只有學歷。但副校長威勒則不無遺憾地 說，此舉等於剝奪了移民生融入主流社會的機會，如果10年後看看這些學生從事甚 麼行業的話，答案恐怕會令老師失望。
師生之間也擔心，校方這種新式「隔離」政策，既無助消除社會上以及校內對非法移 民的抗拒心理，同時也令不少憧憬美國式生活的移民生沮喪。來自危地馬拉的19歲 女生雷蒙多說，雖然自己努力下每科成績都拿到A，但根本談不上融入主流社會，如 果到頭來仍是靠替人打掃房屋維生的話，讀書還有甚麼用？
其實，融唔融入主流社會同從事咩行業有咩關係？當年我學校並無好似文中所講嘅咁極端嘅隔離政策，但我依家嘅生活算美國式嘅生活？我覺得唔係好算。但我嘅工作會唔會令以前嘅老師失望？絶對唔會。
當然，我認同文中所講，學校一般無足夠地協助移民適應美國嘅生活，就算只係校內，都好少會有本地人同新移民共同喺同一個圈子之內。當然，呢個現像同種族歧視唔一定有關聯，只係大家都唔會有咩共同嘅話題。無奈嘅係，即使無主動咁隔離兩班人，被動咁等佢哋自動走埋一齊並唔係一個好辦法。
其實，如果要喺主動隔離同被動咁由得啲學生「自生自滅」，我都有少少希望當年我學校有多一啲主動嘅行動。至少，或者我就唔會總有啲兩頭唔到岸嘅感覺。
或者值得一提嘅係，「融」同「隔」相差嘅其實只係部首…
