Self-centreness

At this stage we are being described as self-centred because we are
working very hard to see if our ways of doing things work. If they do
not, you have to reconsider what yields from the many years of free
education.

The night of the long titles

經由 Web Treasure Hunt Treasure Hunter (D) 著 (日期為 07年9月13日)

We've made a few changes to the Gateway to websites. The front page is now (we think) cleaner and crisper, with icons at the bottom linked to related pages. Within several of the category pages there are links to Webtastic, the revised and greatly improved website suggestions for homework.

And when you visit a category page, you will see that all the other categories are listed on the left, so that you can switch between them without going back to the front page every time.
Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.

A good look

RNIB Technology Information Sheets doesn't exactly roll off the tongue as a title, and the page itself doesn't grip me with its dazzling brilliance. But the actual information is very much to-the-point. For people with sight problems, IT equipment can be daunting. All the online and on-screen stuff that normally-sighted people take for granted these days can be of little or no use unless the equipment can be adapted or demystified.

I looked at "Developing keyboard skills", and it's good stuff. It starts with a summary of why you would bother - the keyboard is the most reliable and, for some people, the only workable method of inputting information to a computer. Then the available courses are discussed, with price indications and links to suppliers.

All the hardware gubbins you can tack on to a computer to assist you, and all the software you can install to "bend" the machinery to your personal needs, are covered in other information sheets. The emphasis is very much on helping you to help yourself; contact details are included for the RNIB's Technology Team, so you don't have to struggle alone.

(From the Gateway to websites, select "Computers and the Internet". RNIB Technology Information Sheets are under "Accessibility".)

All the developments

Another snappy title is A History of Photography from its beginnings till the 1920s, but at least it tells you pretty much all you need to know about this website. You can be fairly sure it's not about moonwalking or the Dead Sea Scrolls!

Robert Leggatt is the author of this site, and he tells us that it's for dipping into rather than being a course of academic study. In rather small type, he deals with the origins of photography, "significant people" (there are quite a lot of these), and the various photographic processes (almost as many of these).

You might spot that - unless I missed them somewhere - there aren't any actual photographs on the site, but there is a list of places where you can see them.
Take Robert at his word - don't try reading the lot, or you might just lose the will to live. The website justifies its place in the Gateway because, if you need a quick(ish) rundown on a photographer or a type of photo, you can probably get it here.

(From the Gateway to websites, select "Art & design".A History of Photography from its beginnings till the 1920s is under "Photography".)

I do not blog my life - I do not have one.

Only be seen when you are moving

If thinking or loving does not lead to writing or anything dynamic, a writer just merges into the background without anyone noticing; a writer just gets scolded for not doing anything.

Definition

What physical thing do you own/ wear that best defines you?

Writers

Writers bring elements from all over the time to one place and see what will happen.

What's in a name?

When you observe the world, you forget the names people use identify them; when you know a person, you forget the title that comes before his name; only when you try to communicate, you really spend the time to choose the correct words.

Rule #3

In the search of those instantaneous or momentary humour and beauty: pics without words; or write but not illustrate. Write faster than people see or listen. Write to excite. Write to make people feel the time has never be so condensed.

Rule #2

The length of the sentence should be so concise as less than 10 words, or so finely crafted to be more than 20 words.

Rule #1

Never write a dull sentence.

翻印不究

那些免費和即將免費的書

喝下的是濃情
揮發著我們
整夜語言的酒精

想念你之髮
髮之癡 癡之意
一直想以最簡單的字
拼出共生的島嶼
從下墜說起
以原原始始的言語
嚙咬她的肌理
千種韻萬種味

詩大調

情多醉還醒
情多笑還哭
嚼雪滋味散不開
暗香添衣袖
卻不見了手
夏留秋留冬留
春偏留不住
一夜聚愁

情深過的人總是沒有訊息
死了而不知墓碑何處
活著的卻沒有地址
陪陪我

翻同一部辭典
看同一部電影
叫著同一個名字
然後跳上同一張床

生來贖罪 何必救世
何必獻世 神分等級
人分虛偽

你的眸色無邪得把罪惡催生
我歡欣得叫不出
同時心痛如死寂

Preparation

Loneliness nor a shared life, neither have we learnt to prepare for.
