NOTE :: 2 ways to fix double margin in IE6

IE6 doubles the margin value of a floated element’s margin-right or margin-left. To fix this:

1. put
   display: inline;
   in the floated element, or
2. use
   margin: 0 2 0 2;
_margin: 0 1 0 1;
   and the _margin will be read by IE6.

NOTE :: IE does *NOT* support hasAttribute(name)

HTMLElement in IE does NOT support hasAttribute(name) because IE does not play with DOM Level 2 methods. So, use getAttribute(name) != null instead of hasAttribute(name).

P.S. Similarly, use attributes.length > 0 instead of hasAttributes().

新玩具

Plurk

是難得比 BBS 讓我更喜歡碎碎念的地方 (本性)
管理公開/私人訊息很方便
不同小圈圈就像不同的 channel
於是私密 Plurk 等於讓使用者能自己開闢 channel
很好用!
只是現在不能很方便切換檢視對不同小圈圈的噗
這點讓我覺得有些美中不足…

不過這是我自己強加在 Plurk 現有功能之上的邏輯
所以我的要求可能是太個人化了(?) :3

Plurk is my new toy! Some people think that Plurk is like an enhanced version of Twitter but it really is not.

Anyhow, Plurk accomplishes my needs of in-community communication in some ways, even more than BBS. : )

Like the new toy a lot~

H.K. in NYC

H.K. (Hells Kitchen) 是加緯家附近的 café
那個星期天艷陽高照
雖然室外是零下的氣溫
室內的我們卻被透進來的陽光晒得發燙
新鮮的食物讓人得到單純的滿足
多汁的 steak、
omelet 裡嫩綠的蘆筍和柔軟的 Brie、
waffle 上滿滿的水果佐鮮奶油、
side 的 home fries 還留著馬鈴薯本來的口感…
一邊聊天、一邊看著窗外跳蚤市場人來人往
哪天天氣好
我還想再一次這樣輕鬆又美味的 brunch : )

H.K. (Hells Kitchen) is a café located near David’s place in NYC. It was a beautiful Sunday when we were there. Sunlight brought the heat to our skin as if it wasn’t subzero outside of the window. Fresh food provided us simple satisfactions: juicy steak, tender asparagus and milky Brie in the omelet, and the palatable waffle with lots of fruit and cream and syrup; even their home fries on the side impressed me with the solid texture…   

I would love to be there again on the other sunny day. : )

動力

離開台北之後其實常常很想念那個到處有 7-11、
每天可以呼朋引伴的好所在，
有好多回憶、
還有溫暖的家。
不過在波士頓的生活雖然比較寂寞，
卻有了不同的動力，
好像才真正開始學習獨立，
感受到生命的短暫和珍貴……

過完全屬於自己的生活。

這樣的日子不知道還能再有多久，
過了這一年之後誰也不知道生活會變成怎麼樣，
新的挑戰、新的決定永遠都在後面等著，
我學會再也不說「以後」，
想要的，就現在開始完成吧。

Life is hard without things I’ve been familiar with – food, friends, family, and 24/7 convenience stores. However, this year might be the first time I really start learning to be independent. Though I sometimes feel uneasy, I can see new and wonderful things growing in my heart.

I learn the briefness and worthiness of life and become more motivated.

I learn not to use “wait until” anymore and start accomplishing the aspirations at once.
