Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Have him wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where ne'er a drop of water e'er fell
And then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between salt water and the sea strands
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Is this beer really formaldehyde-free?Beijing residents can breathe easier today. Yanjing Beer, Beijing's largest brewery and the producer of 11% of the nation's beer output, said today that it stopped adding formaldehyde to its beer back in 2002. Taken together with the denials issued by Tsingtao and China Resources (makers of Snow beer), China's beer market ought to be at least 35% formaldehyde-free. Reports today have tried to reassure consumers that this scare is different from recent cases of poisonous food additives and counterfeit products. The 95% figure is from 2003, and was wrong then, too. And a little bit of formaldehyde won't kill you - after all, it's in the foreign beer, too. Beijing Evening News spoke with Zheng Yangming, director of the Department of Technical Quality at the Yanjing Beer Group: Using formaldehyde as an additive in the brewing process was not invented in China, but was instead a foreign invention. To this day in foreign brewing textbooks and other materials, formaldehyde is still listed as a stabilizer...starting in the 1970s, foreign brewers began to eliminate formaldehyde as an additive during beer production. Entering the 21st century, major domestic breweries also stopped adding formadehyde. Zheng hedged, though, by not ruling out the presence of naturally-occurring formaldehyde in the water used to brew Yanjing. Regulatory agencies are playing catch-up. Everyone was assured yesterday that the new Hygeine Standard for Fermented Spirits to be enacted in October would prohibit the use formaldehyde as an additive in beer, but it turns out that there's only a limit and not an outright ban. Will this be enough to resume exports to Korea and Japan? Or perhaps we should just embrace it, and drink our formaldehyde-laden beer while eating firm, tasty formaldehyde-soaked squid, sitting in formaldehyde-filled rooms under the shadow of our formaldehyde-emitting wedding portraits.

“全球声音在线”(Global Voices Online)是哈佛大学法学院伯克曼中心设立的一个全球Blogger 互动的窗口，重新设计的网站昨天上线，采用了目前流行的三栏模式（虽然我不够喜欢太少的正文内容区域），还特别增加了Tag Cloud(标签云），这就更是下一步网志工具中都会有的特色了。

不过很遗憾，该网站的新域名在这里无法访问。Ethan 说可能是因为GlobalVoices.com这个域名从前和色情内容有关联而导致被防火长城所挡，希望如此，还略有欣慰。

可以通过以下几个链接访问这个项目：

Global Voices Online 项目还希望透过Blogger 促进全球，尤其是英语国家和非英语国家之间的互动交流。所以Rebecca 特别希望能够在中文的Blogger中找到双语的Blogger，让两个文化背景中的人们更好地了解对方，而非因为“视觉局限”而产生更多误解（例如，相互妖魔化）。这样的“桥接Blogger"(Bridge Blogger) 应当可以在全球对话中发挥重要的作用。Global Voices 项目希望可以链接介绍更多这样的Blogger，可以与他们主动联系。

Fang Xingdong posted a question to his personal blog last week: "Who is the most famous blogger?" Fang is the founder of BlogChina, which just this month overhauled its interface and changed its name to Bokee. Fang's ruminations, and BlogChina's upgrade, touch on the metamorphosis of the Internet in China, from a haven for experts and tech enthusiasts to a wide-open plaza. Fang adapts Eric Raymond's metaphor of the cathedral and the bazaar - anyone, regardless of motivations or ability, now has the potential to attract a readership. He characterizes these new personalities as belonging to a new era of the Internet: If we say that Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Lei, Chen Tianqiao and others represent the achievements of the commercialization of the Internet or the the era of "Internet Version 1.0", then the emergence of Sister Hibiscus, Muzi Mei, and Rascal Swallow indicate that the social strata of the Internet have truly started to change. They imply that the era of "Internet Version 2.0" has begun. Reactions in the comments to Fang's post are predictably mixed. Many commenters agree with his analysis of the present situation but feel that blogs, as well as the larger Internet, can still be saved from vulgarity and irrelevance. Others reject his conclusions outright, saying that he's gone over to the dark side where value is demonstrated by number of hits. Included below are excerpts from Fang's post along with a selection of comments.

Ruby on Rails and J2EE: Is there room for both?

这篇文章写得不错，Ruby on Rails里的各个组成部分和J2EE里的都对应上了），Java developer完全可以不必妒忌Ruby developer。

不过，我觉得ROR和J2EE比较不合适，J2EE的范围可比ROR大多了，ROR顶多算轻量级开发框架。

Dear Lazyweb, After a bit of searching, I've discovered that MovableType has language packs which make it possible to localize MT in various languages. As of version 2.5, Movable Type supports localization through the use of language packs. Yeay! But then I read this: You can download language packs from our resources page. And it seems promising. But the link goes to a page on which I don't find the any of the following words: language, international, localization, translation. And...

Here I am, being a good Yahoo, checking up to see what people are saying about our new Desktop Search with Thunderbird support. And I run across this story on SearchEngineJournal. Do you see what I see? They quote more than 50% of Duke's post on the Yahoo! Search blog, yet they never provide a link to it. And this on a site that's pimping an SEO Book? Here's a hint. I expected a link in this text: Duke Fan,...

Techdirt is reporting that: 11% of people say they've bought from spam, while 9% said they were scammed by spam. It certainly sounds like your chances aren't very good if you're buying from spam. At the same time, 39% admit to clicking on spammed URLs, most of whom now admit that they get more spam because of it Wow, people are more lame than I had previously imagined. Given how cheap it is to spam, maybe I should get started....

4.1RTFM和STFW：别烦我啦
有一个古老而神圣的传统：如果你收到“RTFM （Read The F*cking Manual）”的回复，回答者认为你应该去读TMD手册。当然，基本上他是对的，你应该读一读。

RTFM有一个年轻的亲戚。如果答案是“STFW （Search The F*cking Web）”，回答者认为你应该到TMD的网上去搜索。基本上，他也是对的，你就去找吧。

通常，用这两句之一回答你的人会给你一份包含你需要内容的手册或者一个网址，而且他们打这些字的时候正在阅读着。这些答复意味着回答者认为
(1). 你需要的信息非常容易获得；
(2). 你自己去搜索这些信息比灌给你能让你学到更多。
别为这个而不爽；依照黑客的标准，他没有对你的要求视而不见，已经能大致能表示对你的关注。你应该对他祖母般的慈祥表示感谢。

A while back, in Hello GDS, Goodbye YDS I wrote praising Google Desktop Search (GDS) over Yahoo! Desktop Search (YDS) because it didn't work with Thunderbird mailboxes. As you might imagine, I caught a fair amount of shit for this at work. You can just imagine the arguments, right? Them: It's coming in the next version. Me: That doesn't help me now. Them: Most poeople use Outlook. Me: I'm not most people. In other words, my less than popular...

Cedar Breaks, Utah Originally uploaded by jzawodn. I've managed to upload most of my pictures from my recent trip to Utath.
