爛掉的台灣媒體

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

最近每天去看新聞時候,每次又會看到誰被性侵,哪個叔叔又姦了自己的姪女,或者哪個女兒勇敢的逃離父親的魔掌。台灣是充滿這些事情的意思嗎?還是想要讓所有正在成長的國小國中生注意說一不小心自己就會是下個受害者?新聞內容描述的也有夠清楚,是要讓其他犯罪者看注意下次犯罪時候別犯同樣的錯才不會被抓嗎?我都不知道還有什麼可以說了,只能感嘆台灣的媒體怎麼可以亂成這種程度。

我一向認為媒體是台灣的亂源,當然先決條件是認同台灣實很亂。媒體的亂象在幾年前已經讓鄉民們受不了而成立了媒亂板 (media-chaos) 來抱怨,但這幾年來社會的劃分也只有跟著媒體的炒作變得更加嚴重而已。講難聽點,雖然有意識到媒體素質亂七八糟,大多數的人還是一樣被牽著鼻子走,很開心的做著沒有大腦的牛。

我今天看到一篇民視的報導,標題是 儉樸? 吳伯雄LV衫露”馬”腳! 以下是轉貼的本文:

儉樸? 吳伯雄LV衫露”馬”腳! 2008/06/07  

馬總統不是在提倡儉樸嗎?但昨晚國民黨主席吳伯雄和僑胞朋友們餐敘,卻被媒體補捉到,他穿了件高檔名牌襯衫,要價一萬多塊錢!雖然兒子立委吳志揚說,是朋友送的,但是不少民眾還是不以為然,認為官員們根本是說一套做一套,一點都不簡樸!

節 能減碳的口號呼的響,讓當今政壇最流行的單品,非短袖襯衫莫屬啦!瞧瞧,國民黨主席吳伯雄,以身作則,只不過呀,再近點看,哇賽!這可不是名牌 LV最經典的logo花色嗎?雖然可能不是吳伯雄自己買的,但是我們發,其實這 件LV襯衫,早在一年前,就已經公開亮相過了!二度穿同一件襯衫出席公開場合,看來,吳伯雄對這件LV,應該挺厚愛的吧!雖然立委兒子說,吳伯雄對對時尚 霧煞煞啦!但是LV牌子,國際上響鐺鐺,見過這麼多世面的伯公,應該不會不知道吧!而且實地詢問LV,這的確是2007年春夏款,而且要價一萬三千多塊錢 耶!和新政府提倡的簡樸,壓根扯不上邊!看在老是穿幾十年舊西裝的馬總統眼裡,要他情何以堪呀!

這篇文章的目的是啥?是要指出國民黨的人都穿 LV 不簡樸來降低執政黨的形象,還是讓反對執政黨的人顯得只懂得找這些無干緊要的事情來抹黑?不管如何,公職人員也是人,人家想要穿什麼是他的事情,一個新聞媒體拿這個來做文章而且還加入了許多扁低對方的想法,這樣的媒體還不算爛嗎?

“啦!” “哇賽!” “這可不是 “應該” “耶!” 這篇下來有幾個驚嘆號?11 個!!!!!!!!!!!想表達作者對這件事情的驚訝嗎?想加強這件事情是多麼的不可思議多麼的不應該多麼的應該受到社會關注嗎?因為讀了這篇而認為吳伯雄是個垃圾的人,本身也不會有什麼自我思考和理解的能力,只能一味被像這種垃圾報導牽著走而已。

像馬英九上任後接二連三來的去台灣事件們可以報,也應該讓社會大眾注意,但是報導的內容又加入了許多這種試圖對讀者洗腦的批判時候,那報導跟新聞台本身就爛掉了。一個充滿了偏激批判的新聞,只會讓人覺得這是有預設立場下所得到的結論,不值得去參考。很可悲的這種誇張的批判大多都是出現在明顯偏綠的媒體。這是在讓大家知道親綠的人都是喜歡看這種文章嗎?愛台灣就是得去計較對方是不是穿 LV,把對方盡力的塑造成一個丑角嗎?這好可悲。

這類的爛新聞台灣很多,只是今天剛好看到這篇民視實在很受不了。

$50K Final Event

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Event: $50K Top 5 Finalist Business Plan Presentations and Awards Ceremony

What: Free food and drinks (sorry, coffee or soda only). And also: Top 5 Finalists for the UCSD $50K Business Plan Competition will pitch to a round of judges live on stage. There will be a lunch session and the top 3 will be selected while judges are eating their specially selected food which stimulate their judging ability. Award ceremony to the top 3 will follow. There will be a bunch of people who have more knowledge and experience than you can ever imagine about business. You can talk to them.

When: Sat. May 31st. 9AM - 2PM

Where: CalIT2 Auditorium, Atkinson Hall. The map is pretty useless. It’s here because CalIT2 use it as their map link. Just go to the (Sony) Stone Dog Bear in Warren college at 9 AM on 5/31 and you will see a bunch of people in suits and you know you are at the right place.

Cost: Free

RSVP: Here

I’ve been in $50K for almost two years now, and this is going to be one event that I strongly recommend people going. Forget about the workshops that teach you how to write business plan. Forget about the mixers that introduce you to a network of entrepreneurs. This is about the selected few individuals that worked their way through three rounds of judging and present their ideas in a professional manner. Unless you’re thinking about working in a VC firm, how often do you see that?

Smart Archives

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

寶貝哈泥問我說要怎麼顯示所有 blog 裡面的文章,可是我也不記得我以前怎麼用了。印象中是用可以執行 PHP 的 Plugin 然後貼一小段程式碼,然後就讓他自己跑 query 列出全部。總之,沒有非常的簡單。

昨天在 rwiz 上不小心 (!?) 點了胸毛男的 blog 忽然間發現他家上有一頁 文件集 正是我在找的。馬上去問這頁怎麼生出來的,原來是 Smart Archives 這個 Plugin。配合好用的 Exec-PHPArchives 頁終於生出來了 :D

Turn your VPS/Dedicated Server into a Remote Desktop!

Monday, April 21st, 2008

警告,這很惡搞 XD

Why would you do that? Because you can! And the fact that it’s a VPS/Dedicated Server, chances are its Internet connection is a lot faster than yours. As root, the following steps are tested working for Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy.

1) Install Gnome, vnc4server, inetd
apt-get install gnome compiz vnc4server openbsd-inetd

2) Enable XDMCP
Edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
Look for:
[xdmcp]
Enable=false

Change it to:
Enable=true

3) Configure inetd:
Edit /etc/inetd.conf, add (one line):
5901 stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 800x600 -once -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc -DisconnectClients=0 -NeverShared securitytypes=none -extension XFIXES
Now restart inetd with service restart openbsd-inetd

4) Restart GDM
service restart gdm

DONE. Now you can access your VPS as a GNOME desktop with with any vnc client at serveraddress:1, :1 being the display. You can add multiple displays for multiple desktops at the same time ;)

好孩子不要嘗試喔 XD

python-pycurl on Shared Host

Friday, March 21st, 2008

編 Python 2.5, MySQLdb 都很輕鬆
就 make –prefix=~/ 和 python setup.py install 而已
但是 pycurl 讓我浪費了好多個小時的人生

我一直碰到的問題是這樣:

# python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 21 2008, 05:12:12)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pycurl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "“, line 1, in
ImportError: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>>>

把浪費的時間跳過,總之就是 pycurl 沒寫好 (怨念總是得目標來發洩)
setup 時候的 –curl-config 就跟你說在 ~/lib 了,還去 /usr/lib 下面找 libcurl.so.4
好吧或許摸 unix 環境的時間還不夠久,總之最後發現只要這樣子就解決掉了

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/lib

真是浪費生命
