《號外》雜誌封面在某種程度上體現了香港四十餘年來的發展軌跡。
試當真三子榮登《號外》雜誌封面，充分體現了當代香港網絡影音文化對社會的深遠影響力，其影響力之大，就好比 YouTube 興起初期，「You」被《Time》雜誌評選為風雲人物。
謹此祝願試當真成員們能夠好好休息，盡情享受生活。

A quotation from Charles Kettering
[T]he more education a man has, the less likely he is to invent new things. Possibly this is because from the moment the boy or girl starts in school he or she is examined three or four times a year and a failure or two and he or she is out. Now because an inventor works differently, he thinks that’s all wrong. He knows he’ll never go far on any problem before he strikes snags. He may flunk 999 times but if on his 1,000th try he succeeds, he wins! The only time you don’t want to fail is the last time you try a thing.
Charles F. Kettering (1876-1958) American inventor, engineer, researcher, businessman
Essay (1952-01), “Don’t Be Afraid to Stumble,” The Rotarian, Vol. 80, No. 1

Crochet Conundrum
Now that the news is fairly humdrum compared to the last few years, the time I spend reading newspapers online has reduced considerably. I’m still mostly housebound because of Covid-19 and cold weather, so I have been looking for things to do.
I finally finished making a child’s hat and scarf that I began about a year ago, I have vacuumed and dusted everywhere, and I have made a good start at reading from my latest supply of books. I have gone out to the shed to whisper positive thoughts to the seeds I optimistically planted a week or so ago, and I have arranged for someone to come and clean out the eavestroughs. In spite of all that, I still have too much time on my hands.
In an effort to keep myself out of trouble, I ordered a kit for crocheting a four-colour blanket using a textured fan pattern. It was identified as being at intermediate level, which I thought would suit me. I’m neither a beginner nor an expert, so intermediate sounded about right. At least, so I thought.
Image from patternAfter the kit arrived, I made a start at reading the pattern and got stuck at row 2. The first row was simply to chain 194 stitches. The second row, however, was supposed to produce the foundation for 16 fans, but I had only 15. No problem, I thought. I’ll just start again. And so I pulled it all apart.
The next day I started again and this time I got as far as row 4 before I ran into problems. I could not make heads or tails out of the pattern instructions. As I said, I am not an expert, but neither am I stupid. Why couldn’t I figure this out? With my frustration paramount and my indignation in high dudgeon, I went online to see if anyone else had the same problem. Lo and behold, they had. I had typed in the pattern name and number with the word “review” attached and found that Lois B, who considers herself an expert, said that the directions were completely wrong. She had to rewrite them to make the pattern work.
Yarn in kitWoo Hoo! I felt validated. Someone out in the internet universe can’t do this either! There is something profoundly satisfying about not being the only one experiencing a thing, and thanks to a web search I was satisfied. Unfortunately, Lois B. did not explain how she fixed the problem. For that I was on my own. Realizing that what I had already done was probably hopelessly wrong, I pulled it all apart again. By this time I had undone about five hours of crocheting.
That evening I wrote to the company who sent me the kit and explained my discombobulation. I asked them if they had published any corrections to the pattern. Alternatively, I asked, could they direct me toward an instructional video? I have not yet received an answer.
On the third day of trying to make this blanket, I went once again to seek the advice of Lord Google, and once again he came through for me. With only a little effort, I found a video showing exactly how to produce the desired effect, stitch by stitch. The woman who produced the video, Oana, is now my favourite person. (Sorry, children.) She is unhurried, careful, thorough, and clear. She repeats where necessary and has edited out any parts of the video that were redundant because of the slow and repetitive nature of the work.
I have successfully reached row 4 for the second time, but now with much more satisfying results. I have also created a whole new written pattern for myself using the instructions provided by the video lady and the shorthand of the original pattern. I really think I may have this thing figured out. But, don’t hold your breath, friends. Remember, it took me almost a year to finish making a child’s hat and scarf.

Die leichtsinnige Bereitschaft, unglaublich viel wirklich Schlechtes zu produzieren, scheint mir die unverzichtbare Voraussetzung dafür zu sein, gelegentlich, rein zufällig, erstaunlich Großartiges hervorzubringen.

🤖💥 In the eternal struggle of software dev, someone decided to spill the beans on how building multi-agents is a bad idea. Apparently, the "trial and error" method didn't quite deliver the tech utopia promised by your latest PowerPoint. 🚀📉 Spoiler: It’s not as easy as dragging and dropping a few "principles" into your codebase.

Danke @PrototypeFund für den coolen Aufkleber. Einfach zu cool, um ihn dann wirklich irgendwo hinzukleben.
🚀🌌 "Houston, we've got a problem: a $130M company prefers trial-and-error over free #OSS. Apparently, 'git pull' is *so* 2024. 🤷♂️ Common sense must be caught in a black hole... or maybe just orbiting the moon with Major Trial." 🌔💫

Green Cocktails
It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and I’m looking to hold onto anything fun these days, so I thought I’d see if I could come up with a green cocktail.
