監督が同い年なのは正直ショッキング。

テレビ

大橋巨泉をして

”（日本も）勝ち組とか金持ちとかインテリがテレビを見なくなっただけなんですよ。負け組、貧乏人、それから程度の低い人が見ているんです。”

と言わせるくらいつまらないのでNHKの子供番組と日曜の戦隊もの以外は普段全く見ないテレビを立川の飲み屋で見ているとアグネスチャン＊が出てきてデビュー当時の話をしていた。

「日本に来る前は、日本が先進国だからみんな英語を話すと思っていた。」
「香港は英語が」「英語」

と連呼していた。けれども、何十年たっても日本語がうまくないこの人もやっぱり歌手として向いてなかったんだろうな、と思った。＊＊

＊＊耳がよければもう少し発音がうまくなければならないと思う。

パースからのメール

嫁からメールが届いた。

「おばさんの誕生日パーテイがあってね。ワイナリーで３３度の屋外で、ゴージャスなワインを

午後１時から９時まで

飲んじゃったよ。なんか周りにいっぱいカンガルーのふんがあるよ。」

春一番が吹いて嫁は出て行った

昨日は春一番が、今日もやけに暖かい。
今日嫁と子供が出て行った。

帰りは３月末。

今日はこれから立川へ飲みに行こうと思う。

林貌杨音

林貌杨音

出处：在万人瞩目的第二十九届奥林匹克运动会开幕式上，当林小朋友高高地站在台上对口型时，我就诧异怎么是录音的。后来才知道问题比我想象的更为严重，原来是另一个杨小朋友的配音。

释义：指为了某种原因和目的有意犯下冒名顶替的错误，没有代人受过的意思。“林貌杨音”这个新成语还揭示了两个新的含义。一个是为了追求完美无缺而以假乱真，另一个是以所谓的“国家利益”的名义就可以干任何违背常理常情的缺德事。

さすが開高先生がほれた漢字民族、２００８年を表す４文字熟語集のうちのひとつ。完璧な美しさを求めても結局偽物、または国家利益のために倫理に反した行動をとること。北京オリンピック開会式の口パク事件を皮肉ったもの。

Microsoft

1 Microsoft Goes Bonkers by Joel Spolsky

I'm not saying that there's nothing new in .NET. I'm saying that there's nothing there at all.

Look at some of this:

Everyone believes the Web will evolve, but for that evolution to be truly empowering for developers, businesses and consumers, a radical new vision is needed. Microsoft's goal is to provide that vision and the technology to make it a reality. [from "Microsoft .NET: Realizing the Next Generation", June 2000].

How about this:

The Microsoft .NET vision means empowerment for consumers, businesses, software developers and the entire industry. It means unleashing the full potential of the Internet. And it means the Web the way you want it. [Ibid]

What's going on here? I couldn't find one single idea that could actually be implemented in a software product in that entire white paper.

2 Microsoft can't speak straight any more by Joel Spolsky

Here's how Microsoft says, “SQL Server 2008 will be late:”

“We want to provide clarification on the roadmap for SQL Server 2008. Over the coming months, customers and partners can look forward to significant product milestones for SQL Server. Microsoft is excited to deliver a feature complete CTP during the Heroes Happen Here launch wave and a release candidate (RC) in Q2 calendar year 2008, with final Release to manufacturing (RTM) of SQL Server 2008 expected in Q3. Our goal is to deliver the highest quality product possible and we simply want to use the time to meet the high bar that you, our customers, expect.”

What? Can you understand that? “A feature complete CTP during the Heroes Happen Here launch wave?” What on earth does that mean?

3 Microsoft Boy announces his School Homework

4 News by Joel Spolsky

A very senior Microsoft developer who moved to Google told me that Google works and thinks at a higher level of abstraction than Microsoft. "Google uses Bayesian filtering the way Microsoft uses the if statement," he said. That's true. Google also uses full-text-search-of-the-entire-Internet the way Microsoft uses little tables that list what error IDs correspond to which help text. Look at how Google does spell checking: it's not based on dictionaries; it's based on word usage statistics of the entire Internet, which is why Google knows how to correct my name, misspelled, and Microsoft Word doesn't.

Interview with an Adware Developer

adware作者インタビュー awesome!

S: Can you tell me more about your strategies for persistence?

M: Yes. I should probably first speak about how adware works. Most adware targets Internet Explorer (IE) users because obviously they’re the biggest share of the market. In addition, they tend to be the less-savvy chunk of the market. If you’re using IE, then either you don’t care or you don’t know about all the vulnerabilities that IE has.

IE has a mechanism called a Browser Helper Object (BHO) which is basically a gob of executable code that gets informed of web requests as they’re going. It runs in the actual browser process, which means it can do anything the browser can do– which means basically anything. We would have a Browser Helper Object that actually served the ads, and then we made it so that you had to kill all the instances of the browser to be able to delete the thing. That’s a little bit of persistence right there.
