車庫OFFICE

正好看到這篇小短文.

I believe the best software is written by small groups of people who have both passion and vision. Passion is easy to define; you care so deeply about something that it wounds you if it's done poorly. Vision can mean different things, but I mean the ability to not just come up with new ideas, but to actually be able to see how they would integrate with people's lives. Vision without passion gives you a guy who sitting on couch saying, "Flying cars! Wave of the future! Mark my word, the guy who invents that's going to be rich... pass the chips." Passion without vision gives you America's current political situation, where we allow huge companies to destroy the world but pass laws to make sure nobody marries a turtle.

[技術]blog與微網誌與vark

我認知的blog,像是種日記,本質是書寫,而書寫的本質則是思考或是有強烈需求要紀錄才會進行.用這個標準來看待blog,就不會對於許多blog呈現開始時很繁盛,之後無以為繼,快速凋零現象感到驚奇.但留存下來者,內容就十分充實具有參考性.

我認知的微網誌,像是電話,本質是溝通,而溝通的本質則是方便簡單尋求協助.

為何提到這個?

網站http://vark.com/,將每個人當成節點,建構出social network graph,再統計每個人以往web上發表內容給予label,當某個人發出疑問時,將疑問給予label,再到social network graph將這個問題丟給適當人請求幫助.神奇的是,資料上說87.7%願意協助回覆???算是整合blog和社群一個好應用.

PS:測試新增帳號後,詢問問題,有人在台灣並使用VARK嗎?十幾小時後有個人回覆,但完全沒幫助...

隔壁部門有事

看過朱天文一篇文章,桃樹人家有事,當時就覺得[有事]這個詞真好用,帶點挑動與不安.公司內隔壁部門最近也有事,八個人的部門,兩個月內走了七個,剩餘一個我們叫他中流砥柱,可是他臉上表情似乎還有更多意義.

我們部門和這隔壁部門原本歸屬一單位,大家都熟,遇到這種事情,想當然成為茶水間以及msn絕佳八卦題材,熱烈討論之餘不免會想及自身工作狀況,我現在在做什麼,未來有前景嗎?
