人皮鼓
2008年05月14日這幾天都有看嚴浩在蘋果日報的專欄,使我想起從前曾到過在雲南的一間藏廟噶丹松贊林*,裡面有個大鼓,當地導遊說是用人皮做的,當時已感奇怪,這麼大的鼓,那來這樣大塊的人皮?讀了他的這篇專欄便略明一二了。
* 噶丹松贊林位於中甸縣城西北五公里外,是雲南最大的藏傳佛教格魯派寺院,也是藏區著名的十三林之一。

Dear you and you and you and ….. and some unknowns,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for your reply.
Thank you for your nice.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Thank you for your support.
I have read the following in a promotional brochure and would like to share with you:
Let those who think I have said too little and those who think I have said too much forgive me; and let those who think I have said just enough thank God with me.
- Saint Augustine (354-430)

For those who encourage me to keep on writing, would you be disappointed if I tell you I have only completed 7 chapters of my new novel? : p
For those who encourage me to keep on drawing picture, yes, I'm still drawing, and again, some of them are self portrait. Will you be bored to death?! =x
請不要笑我多疑,雖然不是甚麼重要人物,也沒有甚麼不可告人的祕密,但很多時會懷疑是不是有黑客入侵我的電腦;比如在網上搜尋過「瑜伽」,不久便收到瑜伽學校的電郵廣告,是巧合嗎?
曾經在一些Apple Dealers shop問那裡的哥哥,有甚麼軟件可以防止黑客,但他們的口吻是頗一致的,他們會告訴我,不用擔心,很少黑客會入侵Mac機的,Mac機一般都比PC機安全,Mac的病毒也比PC少,所以是沒有這種軟件賣的。啊!是嗎?知道了。
也試過問來公司整機的哥哥,他也說沒有軟件的,如果要防黑客,便要加硬件;甚麼?加硬件?怎麼回事?似乎已超出我所能掌控的範圍以內,唉!
可是,直至前天,在書局發現了一本雜誌,大標題是:「HOW SAFE IS YOUR MAC?」,立即瞳孔放大,腎上腺素上升。看了兩頁,正!我就是要這個,決定購買,看看價錢,$165!暈!但都要買!
如獲至寶地拿著它回公司,一邊讀,一邊跟著它的steps在電腦中照做,幾分鐘便set了Firewall。
我只是個電腦用家(講得衰一點可以叫做白癡),要看書才懂得set Firewall不足為奇,可是那些專業的哥哥們,唉!

不過當中有個選項不太明,”Block UDP Traffic”,甚麼是UDP Traffic?要選的嗎?有人可以告訴我嗎?不過,本著「有殺錯冇放過」的心態,我已經選了。
Breaking new creative ground can be a challenging proposition for designers. In a recent survey by our company, eight out of 10 in-house designers said it's difficult to convince senior management to accept ideas that deviate from the prevailing corporate style. And more than a quarter of respondents cited their company's unwillingness to take risks as the most frequent obstacle to creativity.
On the bright side, many in-house designers feel they can exercise more creativity than they did five years ago. However, it remains difficult to break certain barriers. ……

Quoted from The Pilgrimage, Paulo Coelho:
…… It is the pleasure of searching and the pleasure of an adventure. You are nourishing something that's very important - your dreams.
…… Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, ….. Who was in the right or who knew the truth does not matter; what's important is knowing that both sides were fighting a good fight.
……
“The good fight is the one that's fought in the name of our dreams. When we're young and our dreams first explode inside us with all of their force, we are very courageous, but we haven't yet learned how to fight. With great effort, we learned how to fight, but by then we no longer have the courage to go into combat. So we turn against ourselves and do battle within. We become our own enemy. We say that our dreams were childish, or too difficult to realize, or the result of our not having known enough about life. We kill our dreams because we are afraid to fight the good fight.”
