[event] 三月九日廢核遊行,你/妳來嗎?

網路上已經有太多討論,各自表態,各自承認的事實.支持核四或是反對核四,都是個人自我意見表達的自由,每個人都可以相互爭辯到天荒地老,也可以唇舌齒戰仍然說服不了另一方.

但是這都不重要,因為我的看法就是 "If you can't control something, you don't deserve to own it"


我反核四


我反核四的原因簡單來說就是,人類尚無完全了解且控制核能的能力與科技,今天大家可以說世界各地不都有核能廠,台灣都已經有三座在運轉了,多一座又有什麼差?但是"意外"稱作為"意外"的原因就是無法避免且在意料之外,請不要漠視福島和 Chernobyl 的現實事件,這塊土地並不屬於人類,是 Mother Earth 的,她想給你就給你,想拿回去時你猜都猜不透是什麼時候.我們現在自以為擁有世界,擁有一切資源,但是其實我們只是在盡保管之職而已.

"出來混,總有一天要還的".

或許你可以拿"怕被車撞難道就不要出門"的例子來反駁,但是相較於車禍,或甚於火災,地震,海嘯,這些災難所造成的損傷都是可以目見的,但是災難的結果相較於地球的生命只存在於短暫的時間,過了一百年後,這些災難的結果都絕對已經不再對人類造成損害.但是核能呢,不必列出什麼科學驗證,我們都能理解,在數千數萬年後核能輻射仍然影響著地球上的生命(如果皆時還有生命存在的話).

不,我不想再提什麼電價,替換能源方案,供電需求,核能政策這些陳年濫調,我就是反核四,就是不滿意政府給的說詞漏洞百出,就是不希望在已經充滿天災人禍的世界裡再自作聰明,我反核四.

三月九日的遊行,我會去,你/妳也來嗎?

[tech] Solving not Finding NWZ-W202 Driver on Windows Update

When I am trying to hook up my Sony NWZ-W202 MP3 player to my computer with Windows 7 64bit, Windows told me there is no driver found online, so I went googling (yes, google is now a verb), and found there is a "Content Transfer" driver + software by Sony; happily as I did, installed it.

After the installation, I re-hook the player to computer, and it now says will go to Windows Updates to look for driver, but then failed after searching. I am shocked, and nothing says about connecting to a device after I opened the Content Transfer.

So I googled again, now I found a way for it to work

  1. When searching (installing) driver bubble pops up, select do not search the drivers online
  2. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
  3. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
  4. Choose "MTB USB Device" (IMPORTANT)
  5. Finish
Now the Content Transfer program recognizes NWZ-W202, and the player itself shows in "My Computer" as well!

Hope the above can help out people who have similar problems.

[diary] Freezing @ This Time?

Weird, it's getting cold in March here in Taiwan, maybe the end of the world is coming sooner than I thought?

Never thought the end of the world will ever happen in my life time, but what if it does? Obviously we are not ready, and might not be ready for the next 70 years or so, unless the light speed traveling possibility technology is brought to us by people in future with time traveling. So we might be saved from the end of the world (which should be the Earth, it's all the world for some people), just slightly before we are extincted. Never think that some other life forms will come to save us, the most possible reason that they have contact with us is to gather resources, and they will kill us all to do so. Maybe not all, just leave some for slavery, but still a sad scene just to think about.

Talk about today.

It's freezing, so I stay home when mom and dad went out for sour hotpot. Later in the afternoon, I need to go out, since this monthly report needs to be signed, and my beer, soda and smoke are out. The grocery shopping went well, and I am starting to use the App "GoalTracker" from today, hoping this will help me out in the memory-losing-fast awkward serious life situation.

[diary] 鬼打牆 @ Villaggio Pasta 義式坊

今天台南開始有寒意,今日似乎是個黃道吉日,許多人都在今天訂婚結婚.

晚上火車站後站接完爸媽,決定去成大附近吃晚飯,捨棄了常去吃的pizza,看到家似乎價格合宜的義大利麵店,走進門前,驚喜的握著的是花栗鼠奇奇門把.

各自決定麵食後,每份都加 $85 成套餐,服務生送上水時說套餐內飲料可更換,只須加上差額,爸媽想把他們兩份套餐內的紅茶各 $30 (x2 = $60) 再加 $10 換拿鐵.

拿著點餐單到櫃檯點餐時,開始鬼打牆般的對話:
我:小姐,其中兩份套餐的兩杯紅茶換成一杯拿鐵,我再加差價哦
店:是,兩份套餐的紅茶換成兩杯拿鐵
我:不是啦,兩杯紅茶加起來六十元,是要換成一杯拿鐵喔
店:不行喔 
我:是誰說的
店:店裡有規定
我:那請問規定寫在哪裡,我沒看到啊
店:是老闆規定的 
我:那請妳老闆出來我來詢問他
店:他不在店裡 
我:那打電話給他嘍,這是他的店,他總會想關心一下吧
店:可是這是店裡的規定啊 
我:規定是人訂的,妳老闆還沒死吧,那規定應該是活的吧 
店:... 
我:更何況我們有滿足店裡明文規定的低消呀 
店:... 
我:請問這是你們店裡款待客人的方式嗎?我感覺十分受寵若驚呢 
店:... 
我:小姐,我並不想為難妳,但是這麼簡單的邏輯和數學妳應該懂,我們也沒有要少付錢 
店:我了解 
我:只是我們只想要喝兩杯飲料,這樣妳也想阻止我們嗎 
店:不是的 
我:那請問妳有要請妳老闆出來和我說明嗎 
店:不用了,那就是兩杯紅茶換成一杯拿鐵

我猜想,或許這位櫃台心裡很不爽,認為我是奧客,但是這就會是做服務業的致命傷,客人的合理要求一定要完成,這是最基本的服務業準則.我只是希望我這次的教育訓練可以讓未來這家店的客人都不會再有提出合理要求卻被打槍的情況.
