别字趣谈：不知是“否”不是“否”
别字趣谈：不知是“否”不是“否”
国际中文实验室 绪蜚
一个学生在外求学，思乡心切，竟连带想到家乡的美味。于是写信回家，说是想吃“否”，让家里托人带去。他家里人看信后莫名其妙，心想“否”是什么玩意儿，到哪儿去买？
还是俗话说得好：知儿莫过父。老父亲上街买了些杏子，托人带给宝贝儿子。
儿子喜滋滋地正要解谗，突然发现老父的一张亲笔信笺，上面写有四句打油诗——
小子来信要买“否”，
急得老子满街走。
买来一筐小黄杏，
不知是“否”不是“否”？
粗心的儿子羞愧得两颊绯红。
sea change is using Jruby+GlassFish too…
Just came across this… Sea Change’s Affinity is teamed up to use JRuby+Glassfish. In this years Rails Conf 2009, Jay McGaffigan from Sea Change talked about why they choose JRuby/GlassFish for their product Affinity. Here are some of the reasons he quoted:
Why JRuby/GlassFish ?
- Performance characterisitics (of GlassFish) have been excellent
- Picked JRuby/GlassFish based upon the recommendations from the people in industry
- Dramatically more throughput on our GlassFish installation, 400 requests/sec instead of 100 requests/sec comapred to Tomcat
Here is the interview in Youtube:

AJC Reading Notes – bizzar and others
- Doggy was included in a wedding; bride and broom kiss their dog in between instead of each other. (July 4, 2009, Living, D: “”I do”, with pooch there, too, by Linda Lombardi, Associated Press) I recalled from recent TV news that there will be an airline which is exclusively used to transport pets. What a pet friendly world we are while we are in a recession.
- Wendy’s fries No. 1, and no trans fats (the same page) – Consumer reports say.
- Tucker stays steady with changing times (July 11, 2009, Opinion, A13) This is my favorite article in recent months at AJC. “If at some time you get tired of today’s fast pace and the glitz of a commercialized world in megamalls, drive to Tucker, part at an angle, then go back in time. You’ll use fewer nerve pills. even the store windows aren’y washed everyday. That’s nice, too.” The similar article “To move would cost little things” about sandy Spring appears in the same page.
- Governor calls out city’s schools chief (July 11, Living.) Sonny Perdue is outrageous that three of Atlanta public school still denies altering CRCT answers despite evidences. The same page also reveals that the secret votes are common in Cobb school board.
Garden cumming ga: what I’ve got today
Just get a little bit serious about gardening in Cumming ga in this father’s Day.
Bought 1 black plastic edging at about $10, 2 greyish plastic edging at about $13 each and two woods.
Two woods was used as edging around a garden in my backyard. I am exhausted at digging and making a long trench to install woods as edging for the garden.
