山頂

written by alanho on April 29th, 2007 @ 02:12 PM

星期五食完飯後就去左山頂。

由紅隧出發,用右線出隧道(左線絧纙灣及北角,中線金鐘及中環,右線香港仔及跑馬地),沿香港仔方向行駛,上橋後繼續中線,第二個落橋位(跑馬地)落橋,靠右。斜右前會見到 Metropolitan Hotel。右轉,keep 左,第一個路口轉左,就到司徒拔道。司徒拔道往山頂很容易,沿路有充足指示。

到後見到山頂廣場 $40/hour 即刻標冷汗,行返轉頭原來有錶位。 $2/30mins,兩個鐘,真係夫復何求(有冇用錯?!)。當日係星期五晚上十點,仲有幾個錶位,錶位無可以泊錶位前後空位,當日無人食牛肉乾。由錶位返山頂廣場五分鐘腳程。

凌霄閣頂樓唔駛錢可以入,必到!

沿原路返到跑馬地,轉到皇后大道東,如想行紅隧(西隧則應由馬已仙峽道落中環),記住行中間!否則不能上返堅拿道天橋入紅隧。我就係中招,去到堅拿到西先上到橋,為時已晚。所以去左西隧,貴左 $20 !

之後,由中環去到天水圍,經西隧及大欖隧道,全需 m+10km 行駛…只係半粒鐘! :)

記住有腳架就帶腳架,同埋天氣好先上去。帶多件 jacket 比D小姐們。

火炭津津大排檔

從今天開始加一個新section,記底所有我揸車去過既地方,同大家分亨一些揸車既好去處,連埋路線圖,等大家唔駛搵地圖。今次去左沙田火炭津津大排檔!

今日公眾假期我七半十五分到,泊車搵到位(因為去錯車場..去左一個無得免費泊車既場-__-!)。搵位食飯亦易。但食到八點左右開始多人。伙記聲稱食滿$160送一個鐘泊車,只限私人場,千奇唔好手快快入左果個工廠大廈車場($11/小時)。四個人食左$290,D小菜勁正。雞粥同乳鴿最出名。

as this driving section is specific to Hong Kong only.. so no english translation is available… but you can still check the google map and see the route! this time i will introduce a place where you can taste some really good chicken congee!

OMG! Just tried to play around with google map and discover that Google map has actually arrived Hong Kong!

However searching is not working yet, I tried typing in some names but no good. I believe when the search works.. there should be a bunch of interesting mesh-ups appear!

”Skype rhymes with ripe and type.”

Not “sky-pee”.

Computer Science

I wish people would respect computer science more.

I wish people would call me a “IT people” less. I studied computer science and what I know are more than simply information technology. I know many technologies with give neither you nor me any information.

Computer science is not something that you could understand just by working in so-called “IT industry” for over 10 years. Computer science is not something you could bluff. Computer science is not something you could handle just by buying few C# or Java books from Amazon or Golden Arcade Center.

Computer science requires training. Training not necessarily be given in universities or schools. Many 1337 in the field do not possess a degree in computer science. However, the amount of time they spent on coding is more than many many computer science graduates. Training in computer science are carried out in terms of either coding, or mathematics.

Computer science requires effort, time, hardworking. Our culture based on credits, kudos and appreciation.

Computer science people do coding most of the time, but, coding is not all we could do. Some of them paints, some of them dance, some of them sleep (or do not sleep). We’re technical not because we could only be technical. We’re technical because we like and we want to be.

Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art. - Will Durant

Computer science is art. Computer science is philosophy. What is thinking? Can computer “think”? It falls into the area of Computer Science.

Computer science deserves respect from everybody.
