About this blog 關於本網誌

If you are a first time visitor, you'll find some helpful notes here about the history, structure, policy, system, etc. ofthis blog.

如果您是第一次來,可以參考本篇。這裡會介紹本網誌的歷史、結構、規則、系統等背景。 (中文翻譯見後)

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. Here's why I started blogging. And here's why I choose to use weblog among other voicing media.

Categories

On your right you can find a box titled "Category", in which you'll find my postings categorized. If you use other blog systems, please note the difference here: each category is independent, e.g. articles categorized under category "Mozart" will not appear under category "Music", although "Mozart" seems to be a sub-category of "Music". You can also click on the question mark in front of each category name to read the general entry for that particular category.

Languages

Mostly I write in both English and Chinese, but sometimes when I cannot afford the time to translate, I'll try to use the one that is more relevant to the content and particular audience.

Unfortunately this particular blog system's support for multi-lingual entries is not satisfying (see the section of my comments on Serendipity's multi-lingual support here). Currently both English and Chinese are written in the same entry. You may want to scroll down to see the language you are familiar with.

Revision

I don't write much, so I should be able to use the saved time to go back to edit my old writings. When several relevant articles are mature enough, they will be compiled together for easier access.

Article Dating

There are many old articles in this blog. Obviously they were written before blog systems appeared. However, I still date those articles according to the time they were written. Some timestamps are accurate to seconds but not all.

Each article entry has a line saying "last modified on xx". I'm working on a plugin to sort entries according to that info so visitors can find recently added old articles.

Policy on Visitors' Comments

I probably won't be able to respond to all comments I get, but I will at least try to carefully read what's written to me. Also, for the sake of readibility and structure, I reserve the right to delete/edit/compile visitors' comments. Of course, I will respect visitors' privacy and copyright.

This Blog System

This blog is powered by Serendipity (s9y). I pay my high respect to the open source community.


歡迎

歡迎來我的網誌。我重新提筆,其來有自。我選擇用網誌發表,也是經過考慮的。

文章類別

在頁面的右邊可以看到文章類別的選單。每一篇文章都有分類。如果您用過其他的網誌系統,請注意在本網誌中,每一個類別都是獨立的。比方說,雖然「莫札特」看來像是「音樂」的子類別,但「莫札特」類別的文章,並不屬於「音樂」。您可以點擊每個類別前的問號來閱讀關於該類別的說明。

語言

有時間的話,我大多會寫中英兩個版本。不過,如果時間不許可,我儘量選擇對該篇內容與讀者較有利的語言寫作。

很可惜,本網誌系統對多語的支持不盡人意(參考我另一篇文章中對Serenpity多語支援的評論)。目前我只好暫時將中英文混寫在同一篇中。如果文章開頭不是您使用的語言,可以試著往下捲。

修訂

我寫得不會太多,所以我應該能用省下來的時間來把我已寫下的東西修改得好一點。等到幾篇主題相關的文章都改得夠成熟了,我會集合起來,以供方便尋找。

文章日期與時間

很顯然許多早期的文章是在網路時代之前。我仍文章寫作完成日期來標示。有些時間會精確到秒,大部份只精確到日。

每篇文章會有另一個「最後修訂時間」。目前我正在寫一個可以按那個時間來排序的外掛程式,讓訪客可以知道最近又增加了哪些舊文章。

訪客留言規則

我大概不可能對每一個留言與評論做出回應,但至少我會試著用心閱讀寫給我的評論。為了網誌的可讀性與結構,我保留對訪客留言的刪除/編修/彙整權。當然,我會尊重訪客的隱私與著作權。

本網誌系統

這個網誌是用Serendipity (s9y)架的。我對開放原始碼的社群表達我的崇高的敬意。
