向前走

A song for those who are still struggling with their roads.
Keep your heads up and walk to your goal in honor.

作詞：林強　作曲：林強　編曲：羅紘武

火車漸漸在起走　再會我的故鄉和親戚
親愛的父母再會吧　到陣的朋友告辭啦
阮欲來去台北打拼　聽人講啥物好空的攏在那
朋友笑我是愛做暝夢的憨子　不管如何路是自己走
OH!再會吧! OH!啥物攏不驚
OH!再會吧! OH!向前行

車站一站一站過去啦　風景一幕一幕親像電影
把自己當作是男主角來扮　雲遊四海可比是小飛俠
不管是幼稚也是樂觀　後果若按怎自己就來擔
原諒不孝的子兒吧　趁我還少年趕緊來打拼
轉載來自 ※Mojim.com　魔鏡歌詞網
OH!再會吧! OH!啥物攏不驚
OH!再會吧! OH!向前走

台北台北台北車站到啦　欲下車的旅客請趕緊下車
頭前是現在的台北車頭　我的理想和希望攏在這
一棟一棟的高樓大廈　不知有住多少像我這款的憨子
卡早聽人唱台北不是我的家但是我一點攏無感覺
OH!再會吧! OH!啥物攏不驚
OH!再會吧! OH!向前走

ROC Military Draft part 1

2009-01-19T10:59:00.004+08:00

October 30th, 2008
An outbreak of an event that lasted 2.5 months...

On the day of October 30th, 2008,
my company notified me that my working permit got approved
BUT my Resident Visa got denied. I was shocked!! The cause
of the Visa deny was because I hold dual citizenship and facing military draft in Taiwan until the age of 37 and
now the newly established Immigration Office of Taiwan says
I have 24 hours to think for my future in Taiwan.

Option 1: Fly out to anywhere before my current Visa expires in 24 hours and do not return to Taiwan until the age of 37.

Option 2: Stay in Taiwan and face military draft as a Taiwanese national holding USA passport and go through months of pushing paperworks to revert me as NOT USA national entering the ROC Army.

Option 3: Similar to option 2 but fly to anywhere and re-entering Taiwan using TW passport and just go through the paperwork process of military draft.

On October 31st, I picked option 3, flew to HK and stayed at the airport for a night then fly back the next day entering the island as Taiwanese national.

On the freeway heading to the airport at noon

leaving office with TW/USA passport/cellphone/wallet/e-ticket/some money and a camera, all in a bag.

arriving airport

cellphone battery almost dead, bought a charger at the airport and later found out I CAN'T USE IT AT HK AIRPORT.............. DIFFERENT VOLTAGE.... T_T

Boarding Gate at TaoYuan Airport in Taiwan leaving for HK

Airplane meal.... my last meal in Taiwan? I can still fly out to USA from HK!!

Arrived HK airport in the afternoon, entering communist zone...

Airport subway entrance and Terminal 2 entrance (mainland flights and buses)

multiple shops in both T1 and T2 of HK airport...

Sleeping time.... no flights after 12am

See if you can spot me in the reflection

Good morning HK, a new and bright day ahead~ so is my life...

the worst decision i made at HK airport....

Branch... airplane meal tastes much better than this....

Boarding gate at HK airport....

Not my flight, mine was Cathy Air.

Cathy Air

I arrived Taiwan at noon on Nov 1st 2008, entering the country as a Taiwanese national, thus begins the long and dreadful days of military draft process. Part 2 coming up soon...

Update on 叢發性頭痛/Cluster Headache

2009-01-19T10:51:00.003+08:00

Some updates on the cluster headache since I haven't had an attack
since Sept.

I am very grateful to all my friends and family in support and prayers for me during this time. Since my MRI result, I have been
in awe about that little white spot in my brain, but rest assure now that I am in good condition, only gain some weight from the side-effect from the steroid I took to control the attack.
here's a photo of my brain's MRI

that white spot on the upper left corner is the result of smoking in the past, for lack of oxygen going into my brain.

Hopefully for 2009, it will not occur again :D

Cat and Fish

2008-08-19T11:40:00.003+08:00

It was a clear night at the pier, some local fishers were just enjoying the evening.

Then came a stray cat, looks thin and hungry....
staring at the bucket for something~~~

okay~~~ no one is watching..... moving closer....

"Will you give me a fish~~~"

OH~~~~~~~~
You want a fish~~ you want a fish~~~

YES!!! Quickly~~ bite the fish and move to the corner~~~

Codeine / 可待因

2008-08-07T09:41:00.002+08:00

Many many years ago, around 8~9 years ago. I had a very severer headache and stomach pain and went to see the doctor in Seattle.
It's NOW that I look back and felt I am so glad I didn't finish the treatment... because the doctor gave me Codeine/可待因 as the first round of pain relieve medicine....

I wonder what I would become if I finish the treatment.... a druggie? Or all fixed up and no more pain for the past 8~9 years?

I don't know, but I want to fix my headache now..... I can't sleep every night.....

可待因
口服（最常用）、皮下注射、肌肉注射

'可待因'（Codeine），化學式為C18H21NO3，是一種鴉片類藥物（opioid），有止痛、止咳和止瀉的藥效，它的硫酸鹽或磷酸鹽常用於藥品中。

可待因是一種存在於鴉片中的生物鹼，含量約佔0.7-2.5%。它可從鴉片中提取，也可用化學方法自嗎啡製造。

受管制物質

可待因是麻醉品单一公约下的列表II藥物，在世界各地受到嚴格管制。很多國家和地區容許民眾不需醫生處方而購買若干含可待因的藥品，例如咳藥水，但那些藥品的可待因含量較低，而每次售賣的數量亦通常有限制，甚至賣方需要登記購買者的個人資料。

藥物動力學

可待因進入人體後，約有10%的吸收份量在體內經代謝作用轉化成嗎啡。由於不是所有進入體內的可待因能轉成嗎啡，所以可待因的藥效較嗎啡弱，其成癮性亦較嗎啡少。

叢發性頭痛

2008-08-07T09:37:00.000+08:00

叢發性頭痛也被稱為「自殺性頭痛」，是最叫人「頭痛」的一種類型，患者平均要八年多的時間，才會被正確診斷出病因。醫師指出，「預防治療」比「急性治療」更為重要，平時更要遠離喝酒、登山等誘發因子，才能避免發作。

「頭痛要人命」不全然言過其實。一種「叢發性頭痛」症狀劇烈，是各類頭痛之最，早年甚至有人痛到自殺身亡。若以國外千分之三盛行率推估，台灣約有六萬名患者，但台灣一項最新調查發現，此症錯誤診斷率極高，平均八年才找出病因。

台灣台北榮民總醫院神經內科醫師王署君表示，叢發性頭痛有「自殺性頭痛」之稱，是所有頭痛類型中，症狀最劇烈的一種。根據台北榮總與台南新樓醫院一項最新調查研究顯示，患者要被正確診斷出病因，平均竟要八年又一個多月之久。

該研究將被刊登在國際知名「頭痛」醫學期刊，研究者之一的王署君表示，叢發性頭痛的症狀十分獨特，只要看過就很難忘記，但因常被忽略，診斷過此病的醫師並不多，神經科醫師如此，更別說其他專科，也因此患者經常一再被誤診，最常被誤認為偏頭痛，不少人做了不必要的電腦斷層或核磁共振檢查，甚至鼻竇或鼻中隔手術，當然是毫無幫助。

叢發性頭痛發作時極為痛苦。榮總一位男性內科醫師也是患者之一，他在二十歲那年冬至首度發病，發作時頭痛欲裂、半邊臉部潮紅、單眼淚流不止、倒地呻吟，有時甚至嘔吐到幾乎昏厥。
此後每年都會在固定月份發作，每天一到兩個小時之久，期間長達一個月。在手術檯上、急救病人時也曾幾度發作，讓他生活、工作受到極大困擾，不過在不發病的月份，卻完全沒有頭痛。
王署君指出，這類疼痛非常劇烈，有些人一天發作甚至達八次之多，且在固定時間發作，如早晨或入睡後一、二小時。絕大多數以單邊為主，最常發生於單側眼窩後面，有時在眼窩上方或同側的太陽穴，有病人形容發作時眼睛痛如刀割。

由於此症病灶可能在腦部下視丘，因此患者亦常伴隨自主神經症狀，包括眼睛紅、單眼流淚、流鼻水、臉部冒汗、瞳孔收縮、眼皮下垂、臉部腫脹等。部份患者會坐立不安，甚至會走來走去，成為獨特的症狀之一。
而研究也發現，叢發性頭痛的發作可能與日照時數有關，王署君指出，叢發性頭痛最常發生在季節變換時，又以十二月與三月最多，因而近來門診患者有明顯增加趨勢，不過一問之下，患者大多早就罹患頭痛多年，卻始終找不出正確病因，因而不斷輾轉求醫。
此外，不同於其他類型的頭痛，叢發性頭痛發生以男性居多，台灣患者男女比例是六比一，調查中發現，吸菸可能是重要因素，患者中男性有七成九、女性有三成六曾經或正在吸菸，女性病患有逐年增加趨勢，可能與女性吸菸人口增加有關。

王署君表示，叢發性頭痛雖然疼痛難忍，但只要尋求神經科醫師協助，並不難診斷，且大多能有效治療。
頭痛發作時的「急性治療」可用純氧、麥角胺、英明格等藥物，不過發作前的「預防治療」更為重要，至少要持續服藥至頭痛症狀完全消失兩週以上才逐漸減藥，可用的藥物包括類固醇、鈣離子阻斷劑、鋰鹽等，副作用少，且多半在一週內就能見效。

此外，在發作期宜避免喝酒、飛行與登山等一些誘發因子，頭痛才不會突然降臨。

CentOS 5.1 遠端管理： VNC

2008-07-22T14:59:00.006+08:00

CentOS 這種 sever 作業系統免不了要採用遠端管理，雖然 command line 都可以處理，但是利用越來越成熟管理 GUI 絕對可以提昇效率。
預設安裝的 XWindow、KDE、Gnome 再加上 XWindow client 就可以建置一個完整的遠端管理環境，最近安裝的流程如下：

一設定 VNC

步驟一：以 root 身份修改 /etc/sysconfig/vncservers 加入以下這行設定

VNCSERVERS=”1:”

** 1 是 display number，如果有多人使用 VNC 每個人都要有 unique 的 display number

步驟二：設定個人環境

以個人帳號登入後執行 vncpasswd 設定 VNC 連線認證密碼，這時候個人目錄下會自動產生一個 .vnc目錄，在這個目錄下建立一個 xstartup script，內容如下

#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
~
~

步驟三：啟動服務

/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver start

完成以上步驟，現在可以用 VNC client 登入 server 了。

夢幻騎士

2008-05-19T17:40:00.007+08:00

夢幻騎士 the man of la mancha，

改編自西班牙大文豪塞凡提斯Miguel de Cervantes經典著作唐吉訶德Don Quichotte的百老匯音樂劇，其中最令人難忘的便是這首the impossible dream，許多歌星及音樂家皆唱過此曲

The Impossible Dream / Peter O'Toole
from MAN OF LA MANCHA (1972)
lyrics: Joe Darion
music: Mitch Leigh

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

不可能的夢 / 彼得奧圖
取自夢幻騎士 (1972)
詞：Joe Darion
曲：Mitch Leigh

夢想那不可能的夢想
對抗無法擊潰的敵人
承受無法承受的痛楚
奔向勇猛戰士不會去的地方

更正無法更正的錯誤
愛戀來自遠方的純真與聖潔
嘗試即使手臂已疲憊不堪
到達無法到達的星星

這就是我的追求
去追隨星星
不在乎多麼希望渺茫
不在乎多麼遙遙無期
為正義而戰
沒有質疑或休息
願為此勇闖地獄
為了崇高理想

而我知道我存在
只因這個光榮追求
我心將因此安和平靜
當我撒手人寰

而世界會因此更美好
有一個人背負全身傷痕與嘲諷
依然努力耗盡最後一絲勇氣
要到達無法到達的星星

This is my neighborhood back in '92~'97

This is the house we used to live in from '94~'97

a very old house, should be 90 years old now.

This is the bowling alley I used to hang out between '95~'97

I had to take the photos in the car because the neighborhood has become more and more
strange.......
It used to be an 24hr Bowling Alley but since more and more 'accidents' happened at night, they close at midnight.

This is Pacific Medical Center

just a landmark on Beacon Hill, and a great spot to take night shot of Seattle Downtown.

Origin.... Transformation.... Mutation......

2008-02-26T08:19:00.006+08:00

Everyone knows I am from Seattle but....
where do I put myself at?
I was born in the suburb of Taipei, raised in the Northwest
of America, gained my street knowledge from the Central District,
earned my formal diploma on the East Side. Now I reside in the suburb of
Taipei, work near the future Department of Defense, a perfect missile target,
and I am single. My name is David Mao from the Mao family, descent of John Mao.

Yes, I know this is a long description, kinda like the Lord of the Ring character introduction..... XD

Anyway.... I went to check out my old high school at night and while passing the old time favorite luncheon place we used to go to during lunch hours, I saw something that reminded me of what was it like studying at Garfield.

Those who likes to watch CSI or NYPD will have a pretty good idea what the yellow tag, flowers, and candles are for... Someone or many people got killed on that spot recently. I checked the newspaper, just a few days before my arrival in Seattle, the store owner got killed by some whacko storming in the store and started shooting. The same whacko killed his girlfriend earlier that day. Also the co-owner was killed in mid-2007 and that case was remained unsolve. It's really ironic, especially for me who studied at a high school 2 blocks away from '94~'97. During my time there, there are average of two major drive-byes, major meaning someone or many got killed, and multiple physical and sexual assault just within 5 blocks radius of the school. After I graduated, I went back and visited a few times and I was under the impression that the neighborhood had changed, because more and more upscale houses are being built and many of the Capital Hill resident had moved in from their costly neighborhood. I guess things don't really change even after 10 years.

Of course there are many famous alumni from this High School.

Jimi Hendrix

Quincy Jones

Bruce Lee

Yes, Bruce Lee went to our High School, he then went to UW in the 60s.

What have I become in the past ten years?
I become more soft, less hot-headed, and more fat..... XD
Those who went to high school with me will never recognize me both physically and
personality. One, I gained 20KG since high school and I have become a person with softer heart and less aggressiveness towards things that didn't go my way.
I don't confront people as much, nor do I harm people in unnecessary ways.
I guess that's a good change, but still I want to loose that 20KG.....

I didn't get to go there on this trip....
Instead I went to a chainstore on the Eastside, Pho Hoa

Drove my sister's car back to where I live, prepare everything, get online to check email and do small chat on MSN..... then REALITY hits.....
my colleague at work instant message me saying our company website's traffic quadruple and it's slow as hell to access it......

Seattle Trip~ (teaser)

2008-02-23T13:11:00.002+08:00

I went back to Seattle from Jan. 31 to Feb 10th during the Chinese New Year Holidays.

It's a different year compare to the previous trips I made.
This year, mom sold the restaurant so I don't have to run around for restaurant
stuff... and supposedly I should only be helping 1 of Doris's friends.
Of course, plan changes so I had a slightly different plan change since my arrive in Seattle.....

I will detail them in the later post, here are some photos I took during this trip.

PASM

P---程式曝光.機身自己會選擇一個快門和光圈的組合.好處是不用去煩惱.

A---光圈優先.我們自己選擇一個光圈值.機身會自動配合快門速度.可以讓你自己控制需要的景深.

S---快門優先.自己選擇一個需要的快門速度.機身會自動配合光圈.也是為了可以達到自己的要求(例如要拍運動.速度要快一點).

M---全手動.光圈和快門速度都由自己控制.機身不管曝光是否正確.可以依自己的想法去曝光.

MF---代表手動對焦.有時候(尤其是拍微距.就是小東西).因為景深很淺.所以需要手動對焦.才能找到適合的焦點.

AF---自動對焦.由機身去自動對焦.你只要選擇你要的對焦點.機身會自動對焦.

小花---指的就是微距.拍近的東西時候需要用到.不選擇的話.相機無法對到這麼近的距離.

An interesing item.....
long long ago..... everyone used their fingers to draw...
then came camera......
when I was in High School, I had to take elective classes...
The classes I took were all involved with graphics...
Print Shop, halftone printing, dealing with films and silk screen printings...
and school's newspaper....
Photography, black and white photography.... for this class, I used an Minolta MAXXUM 7000, which was big and bulky...... but it made a remarkable history in AF SLR!
I will try to fix it this time when I bring it back to Taiwan..... It's got some kind of corrision from my trip to Pun-Ho in the 90s.... XD

Minolta α7000 AF 自動對焦技術量產指標

AF 自動對焦技術不斷演進，到了1984年日本相機製造業普遍認為 AF 將是引領未來相機業的主流，特別是針對當時最有能力購買相機的族群 - 中年人士！同學們可以想像一下，在一個經濟尚未起飛的時代，攝影器材的
價格是相當昂貴，也只有中年事業有成的人士，在有錢有閒的前提下才有能力擁有專業攝影器材，這與今日傻瓜相機、數位相機已經普及到2～3萬元一台的價位來說，在那時是無法想像。不過，這些有能力購買專業攝影器材的人士，普遍都有一個困擾『視力』退化！這件事嚴重影響手動對焦的準確性。

Minoltaα7000 第一部真正實現 AF 完美自動對焦夢想的單眼機身 / 圖右：日本版的Minolta α7000
1985年2月，Minolta 整合先前的 AF 設計經驗，以市場導向推出了世界上第一部真真正正的 AF單眼機身 α7000( A7000為歐洲市場銷售代號，日本市場爲α7000，美洲則爲MAXXUM 7000)，不同於我們在上一講提到的 X系列，α7000是一架全新設計的機種，特別的是 Minolta 放棄了傳統 MD接環，改用新型的AF接環，機頂設有液晶顯示面板(LCD)，用來顯示如各種參數，替代了原來的刻度盤。α7000還一反過去的光圈調整是作在鏡頭上的設計，將光圈調節改在機身上操作。全部取消過去常用的轉盤旋紐，改以按鍵代替，同時創新 PASM 四種曝光方式加入，打下未來機身的標準。Minoltaα7000 係自 X-600推出之後最大手筆的研究開發，總投資超過 15億日元，影響所及讓 Minolta 一舉成為領先 Nikon、Canon、Pentax以及 Olympus 等日本同業公司，由於α7000性能優異，價格合理，總計全球銷售了265萬部，連帶啟動 Minolta 交換鏡頭工業的升起，並成功擊敗當時銷售第一的 Canon公司。

Minoltaα7000連續奪得了1985~86年度 TIPA歐洲相機最佳推薦和1985年日本相機大賞。一連串的功成名就，讓Minolta 嚐到了一夕成名的滋味，也從此 Minolta 的頂級産品就特別偏好『7』和『α』這兩個字（例如：現在的數位相機 DiMAGE 7i）。

不過，純就技術上來說α7000其實並沒有原理上的創新突破，α7000之所以能讓AF系統如此成功(其應用的是後期TTL檢測系統)，主要是解決了將對焦系統與馬達微型化並成功的塞進機身，又能提供使用者方便且直覺的操作 AF 系統。是一真正的以 AF 為主導，而非像以前的機種多將 AF 列為輔助裝置的相機。α7000的出現，成功的刺激了當時正逐步萎縮的單眼機身市場，頗類似今日數位機身 D-SLR 的出現，帶動攝影另一波高潮一般。

快速移除 Windows XP 內建的舊版 Windows Messenger 4.7

2008-01-14T09:53:00.000+08:00

Windows XP 內建安裝了 Windows Messenger 4.7 版，
對於已經在用 MSN Messenger 來說實在很煩人，就算在「新增/移除程式」也無法完全解除安裝。

最快又完整解決安裝的方法就是從:
「開始」->「執行」-> 在空格內輸入以下指令:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

輸入完成後按確定，等出現成功訊息之後，選重新開機就可以完全的解除安裝了，是不是很方便快速呢? ^_^

投名狀 The Warlords

2008-01-06T15:03:00.000+08:00

This is by far one of the Asian movies that's

almost 100% Hollywood ready....

This is actually a remake of a 30 year old film, [刺馬], and based on a
true story in the mid-19th Century China, prior to the Boxer Revolution.
How a Ching Dynasty general used everything to fight for his own cause.
Adultery, conspiracy, brotherhood, wealth, poverty, and power struggle
among these warlords.

Preview 有看到裡面有人演京劇..
而京劇中的他們為啥臉一紅一黑一白，
其實這三種不同顏色的臉譜可代表多了喔，

黑色臉:性情戇直、又象徵孔武有力，粗獷但心地善良。

紅色臉:象徵忠正、耿直、有血性，多是勇敢耿直之人。

白色臉:個性陰險、十分虛偽。

The Title is interesting too, 「投名狀」

何謂「投名狀」？

「投名狀」是一種忠誠。

很多組織和社團，或許都有不成文的規定：

「加入前請以我們認可的行爲來表示閣下對組織的忠誠。」

相傳古人在結盟時，雙方口含牲畜鮮血或用血塗在嘴邊
，表示誠信不渝，是為「歃血為盟」。

電影《投名狀》兄弟結義時，要求「各兄弟殺一個外人」，「從此，兄弟的命就是命，其它的，皆可殺！」

相信是脫胎自《水滸傳》林沖投奔梁山「先下山殺個人」的情節。

從此大家但求同生共死。有福同享，有禍同當。

It's an interesting film to for the 2008 movie goers :D

some classic lines in the movie

『納投名狀，結兄弟誼，死生相托，吉凶相救，福禍相依，患難相扶，
外人亂我兄弟者，視投名狀，必殺之；兄弟亂我兄弟者，視投名狀，必殺之。』

戲台上一紅、一白、一花臉反覆唱到：
『今有龐青雲、趙二虎、姜午陽
納投名狀，結兄弟義，
死生相託、吉凶相救、
福禍相依、患難相扶、
外人亂我兄弟者、視投名狀、必殺之，
兄弟亂我兄弟者、視投名狀、必殺之，
天地作證，山河為盟，
有違此誓，天地誅之。』

姜母鴨：『大哥是對的！』

清朝高官：『山字營姓趙阿!!!』

『搶錢、搶糧、搶娘們』

『人無(性)便是畜生』
XD
