Peekaboo Navbar IE 的透明顯示

常常用 Blogger 的 Navbar 隨機瀏覽其他的 blog,有時會有出乎意料的收穫。但是常常遇到一種情況非常討厭,就是來到沒有 Navbar 的 blog 時不知如何繼續瀏覽下一個 blog(尤其那個blog 根本不吸引你,恨不得趕快跳過),屢試不爽。最近我用了 Navbar Peekaboo 之後,發覺自己也很可能造成許多 IE 使用者有同樣的困擾,於是開始想解決方法。

考完試後,又有自己的一些些時間(現在 blog 的時間是教授推掉我的訪談生出來的,大家都在忙忙忙),去了解了一下 Navbar 的 code 後,做了一些 trial and error 的測試。結果相當滿意,如今在 IE 環境下,我的 Navbar 是半透明的,這樣搭配背景,個人是蠻喜歡的。

方法還是一樣,先貼上 Navbar 的屬性 CSS。然後再更改透明度「Opacity=0」的值,我是用60。0是完全透明(看不見);100是不透明(完全看得見)調到你喜歡的透明效果就好。

原 Navbar 屬性 CSS code 如下兩行。
#navbar-iframe{opacity:0.0;filter:alpha(Opacity=0)}
#navbar-iframe:hover{opacity:1.0;filter:alpha(Opacity=100, FinishedOpacity=100)}

這樣就皆大歡喜了。

p/s: 一直以來都很排斥寫技術性的東西,因為已經有很多人在寫。我也不是念資工的,沒有必要搶飯碗,這次破例是為了「人因」考量,這樣又跟自己的本行扯上關係了。呵呵。

PsyINFO 使用教學

PsyINFO是搜尋心理相關文獻的資料庫(必須使用圖書館IP才有辦法上,除非有個人版)。這是台大圖書館製作的 flash 教學材料,非常清楚!輔大圖書館也應該花點小錢請工讀生弄一些像樣的東西才對啊!(抱怨連連)

Andrew Carnegie 30歲

人生的 Plug n Play? 跟著卡耐基的腳步,成為成功人士?肯定不可能,但是看看參考也無妨?這樣的說法常常叫我無法認同。

Carnegie’s philanthropic inclinations began some time before retirement. He wrote;
I propose to take an income no greater than $50,000 per annum! Beyond this I need ever earn, make no effort to increase my fortune, but spend the surplus each year for benevolent purposes! Let us cast aside business forever, except for others. Let us settle in Oxford and I shall get a thorough education, making the acquaintance of literary men. I figure that this will take three years active work. I shall pay especial attention to speaking in public. We can settle in London and I can purchase a controlling interest in some newspaper or live review and give the general management of it attention, taking part in public matters, especially those connected with education and improvement of the poorer classes. Man must have an idol and the amassing of wealth is one of the worst species of idolatry! No idol is more debasing than the worship of money! Whatever I engage in I must push inordinately; therefore should I be careful to choose that life which will be the most elevating in its character. To continue much longer overwhelmed by business cares and with most of my thoughts wholly upon the way to make more money in the shortest time, must degrade me beyond hope of permanent recovery. I will resign business at thirty-five, but during these ensuing two years I wish to spend the afternoons in receiving instruction and in reading systematically!
卡耐基我不熟,太快批評又不好,還是有空好好閱讀好。

新加坡
在1965年就獨立
可是獨立過後卻又發生
很多問題
我們講得話一樣
罵的粗話也一樣
可是政府一聲命令
你們也不敢怎樣

我對新加坡的印象
其實只有一個樣
(喂)你們的建築物都長得
一模一樣
這樣的規劃
根本就是共產黨
李光耀跟毛澤東
根本就是 kawan
馬克思主義
重重壓在你們的肩膀
發展國家
好過發展獨立思想
你們太過驚死
又太過驚輸
小孩子從小到大都有
政府鋪好的路
過來 Malaysia 玩
還以為這裡 WULU
哎呀 就算我們住在樹上
也是搭電梯上樹 (嗯吶)
你們走大路
不敢走小路
連吃一個 chewing gum
都要來我們國家吐
小弟弟
我懷疑你根本就不懂過馬路
這裡斑馬線很少
可是我們懂
怎樣應付

終於完成了 script。這裡特別聲明 script 的著作權在作者,本人只因為寫出來做自己學習參考用途,若作者覺得不適,可向本人要求刪除 script。接下來我要慢慢開始揣摩這篇 script 了。

M.C.Escher

好久好久,我終於找到他了,M.C.Escher,她說他是數學家,原來如此。深深被 M.C.Escher 的才華吸引。天才都是左撇子,我不是。
Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) is one of the world's most famous graphic artists. His art is enjoyed by millions of people all over the world, as can be seen on the many web sites on the internet.

He is most famous for his so-called impossible structures, such as Ascending and Descending, Relativity, his Transformation Prints, such as Metamorphosis I, Metamorphosis II and Metamorphosis III, Sky & Water I or Reptiles.

But he also made some wonderful, more realistic work during the time he lived and traveled in Italy.

Castrovalva for example, where one already can see Escher's fascination for high and low, close by and far away. The lithograph Atrani, a small town on the Amalfi Coast was made in 1931, but comes back for example, in his masterpiece Metamorphosis I and II.

M.C. Escher, during his lifetime, made 448 lithographs, woodcuts and wood engravings and over 2000 drawings and sketches. Like some of his famous predecessors, - Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer and Holbein-, M.C. Escher was left-handed.

Apart from being a graphic artist, M.C. Escher illustrated books, designed tapestries, postage stamps and murals. He was born in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, as the fourth and youngest son of a civil engineer. After 5 years the family moved to Arnhem where Escher spent most of his youth. After failing his high school exams, Maurits ultimately was enrolled in the School for Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem.

After only one week, he informed his father that he would rather study graphic art instead of architecture, as he had shown his drawings and linoleum cuts to his graphic teacher Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, who encouraged him to continue with graphic arts.

After finishing school, he traveled extensively through Italy, where he met his wife Jetta Umiker, whom he married in 1924. They settled in Rome, where they stayed until 1935. During these 11 years, Escher would travel each year throughout Italy, drawing and sketching for the various prints he would make when he returned home.

Many of these sketches he would later use for various other lithographs and/or woodcuts and wood engravings, for example the background in the lithograph Waterfall stems from his Italian period, or the trees reflecting in the woodcut Puddle, which are the same trees Escher used in his woodcut "Pineta of Calvi", which he made in 1932.

M.C. Escher became fascinated by the regular Division of the Plane, when he first visited the Alhambra, a fourteen century Moorish castle in Granada, Spain in 1922.

During the years in Switzerland and throughout the Second World War, he vigorously pursued his hobby, by drawing 62 of the total of 137 Regular Division Drawings he would make in his lifetime.

He would extend his passion for the Regular Division of the Plane, by using some of his drawings as the basis for yet another hobby, carving beech wood spheres.

He played with architecture, perspective and impossible spaces. His art continues to amaze and wonder millions of people all over the world. In his work we recognize his keen observation of the world around us and the expressions of his own fantasies. M.C. Escher shows us that reality is wondrous, comprehensible and fascinating.

V for Vendetta


非常喜歡這部片,這是2006的電影,很可惜我現在才把它看了。這是 Wachowski brothers 的製作,也是好片 Matrix 的作者兼導演。看了看 Wiki 才發現,原來 V for Vendetta 的作者 Alan Moore 並不喜歡自己的作品被修改了,也因此拒絕電影謝幕詞上出現自己的名字。藝術家果然有性格,非常欣賞他這麼樣一個做法。

奇怪,為什麼沒有老師介紹這部片呢?這部片講到了「匿名性」(anonymous) 的力量,不管是制服下的匿名性或是面具下的匿名性,在影片當中的張力都非常大。聯想一下網路下的匿名性,再來組織的匿名性,政府的匿名性,國家的匿名性,我們都活在匿名的社會。Bloggers 是匿名的,它是符號,代表我們這些在網誌些東西的人的總和,但個體的綜合不等於全部,我們是誰?重要的不是符號,而是關係的互動?是我們的認識?真誠的認識?是誰說的?我的眼中有你,你的眼中有我。


I don't know who you are. Please believe. There is no way I can convince you that this is not one of their tricks. But I don't care. I am me, and I don't know who you are, but I love you.

I have a pencil. A little one they did not find. I am a women. I hid it inside me. Perhaps I won't be able to write again, so this is a long letter about my life. It is the only autobiography I have ever written and oh God I'm writing it on toilet paper.

I was born in Nottingham in 1957, and it rained a lot. I passed my eleven plus and went to girl's Grammar. I wanted to be an actress.

I met my first girlfriend at school. Her name was Sara. She was fourteen and I was fifteen but we were both in Miss. Watson's class. Her wrists. Her wrists were beautiful. I sat in biology class, staring at the picket rabbit foetus in its jar, listening while Mr. Hird said it was an adolescent phase that people outgrew. Sara did. I didn't.

In 1976 I stopped pretending and took a girl called Christine home to meet my parents. A week later I enrolled at drama college. My mother said I broke her heart.

But it was my integrity that was important. Is that so selfish? It sells for so little, but it's all we have left in this place. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free.

London. I was happy in London. In 1981 I played Dandini in Cinderella. My first rep work. The world was strange and rustling and busy, with invisible crowds behind the hot lights and all that breathless glamour. It was exciting and it was lonely. At nights I'd go to the Crew-Ins or one of the other clubs. But I was stand-offish and didn't mix easily. I saw a lot of the scene, but I never felt comfortable there. So many of them just wanted to be gay. It was their life, their ambition. And I wanted more than that.

Work improved. I got small film roles, then bigger ones. In 1986 I starred in "The Salt Flats." It pulled in the awards but not the crowds. I met Ruth while working on that. We loved each other. We lived together and on Valentine's Day she sent me roses and oh God, we had so much. Those were the best three years of my life.

In 1988 there was the war, and after that there were no more roses. Not for anybody.

In 1992 they started rounding up the gays. They took Ruth while she was out looking for food. Why are they so frightened of us? They burned her with cigarette ends and made her give them my name. She signed a statement saying I'd seduced her. I didn't blame her. God, I loved her. I didn't blame her.

But she did. She killed herself in her cell. She couldn't live with betraying me, with giving up that last inch. Oh Ruth. . . .

They came for me. They told me that all of my films would be burned. They shaved off my hair and held my head down a toilet bowl and told jokes about lesbians. They brought me here and gave me drugs. I can't feel my tongue anymore. I can't speak.

The other gay women here, Rita, died two weeks ago. I imagine I'll die quite soon. It's strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and I apologized to nobody.

I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one.

An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

I don't know who you are. Or whether you're a man or a woman. I may never see you or cry with you or get drunk with you. But I love you. I hope that you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better, and that one day people have roses again. I wish I could kiss you.

Valerie

尋循秘密

之前有幸參與了《尋循秘密》演出的攝影和舞台總監的工作,非常高興。除了回憶起當年中學時代也一起瘋狂過的時代,實在另有一番滋味。很高興幇室友完成了小小心願。《尋循秘密》雖然結束了,但是工作可能還未完成,除了上傳照片,更希望可以將回饋單收到的金玉良言放在網站上,最後希望可以等到全場錄影的剪接工作完成,再將影片放到 google video 去。這樣《尋循秘密》的全記錄就大工告成了。也希望有緣人看到這段歷史,能為《尋循秘密》的未來舞台劇新秀們找到各自的伯樂。

台灣有線電視情色發展

來到台灣念書的時候,台灣的有線電視成人頻道是我第一個印象的其中一個(成人是很文縐縐、漂亮的說法、色情頻道也)。當時對於大家(馬來西亞的學長姐)對台灣的開放表示認同的時候,自己仍然覺得怪怪的,事隔2年,如今有了更進一步的認識。

台灣--沒有你想像中的開放!是我對這個國家的詮釋。一個華人的社會,連自己被稱為「華人」都覺得怪怪的,這就是台灣人。「來來來,來台大;去去去,去美國!」是台灣的教育,這個口號是我的系主任那個時代的,到我目前來看,也依然還是如此。這裡變化太快,但是沒有變的東西,用心才看得見。

Gmail 我的個人建議

ATTACHMENTS STORAGE BIN
Save all my attachments in a storage bin within Gmail, so that i could search, organise, amd delete attachmants.(ops! Gmail does not like me to delete my files :P I mean delete those extra copies of attachments)

GO BEYOND STORAGE SPACE
Emm.. last but not least, I don't need so much of Gmail storage space, so can I ask Gmail to forget about storage space(and always on counting...)? Why not try go beyond "storage space"?

As you can see, I am happy about Gmail because I feel FREE here, I don't have to worry about mails crowding my mailbox as I don't have so much of friends :P And Gmail has proved to me that they strive for excellence in spamming.

Forget about storage space, and go beyond. Just give me the space when I need it, I just need enough space, not the whole world. Cut off Gmail budgets on offering more and more storage space, go do some charity instead.

Offer your generosity to those who reli need it! Go for a better Google. Keep it up, Google.

See you.

I have something to suggest too...

父子

這部片,是我在半夜睡不著的情況下觀賞的。看完之後遲遲些不出我的感想。電影的拍攝在大馬,其中的場景是我熟悉的地方,有家的味道。還沒看這部片以前,一直聽到身邊人對這部片的好評,也有批評香港人說大馬廣東話的不夠味。但是看完後,不得不說它是一部好片!

看著這部片的同時,我的情感是被戲所牽動著的,主要是那孩子失去父母親的愛的感覺。我沒辦法在看完這部片之後進行很好的咀嚼與反思,主要是目前仍然對於過去創傷的逃避。但是,我能接受這部片的一切一切,就如生活一般的真實。

也更想認識這位導演...
