開箱文 - Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800

這是我第一次寫開箱文,今天敗的是... Microsoft的Product,還以為這輩子也不會花錢買它的Product,所以還是別亂說那些"我一輩子都不會怎樣怎樣..."的廢話,因為很可能要自打嘴巴。(至於使用中d Windows & Office,就忘了它吧,我想你會懂的 :P)

Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800

回歸正轉,今天的主角是Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800,也就是無線鍵盤滑鼠鍵盤組。本來是打算買Logitech的M260,或M250的,但聽說前者的滑鼠沒有設開關,對於我那種長期只用鍵盤的人,實在是太浪費電池了... 而後者的鍵盤的"Insert, Home, Page Up..."等鍵的排序是2*3,而不是慣用的3*2,(看圖比較好懂),實在是無法接受,剛好又碰上Microsoft的在打折,價格跟M260差不多,結果就敗了這套回家了。



概要

雖然是低價產品,但用起來的感覺不錯,比我想像中好多了,暫時沒有出現任何異常情況,跟有線的沒有甚麼差別。



Keyboard

鍵盤是鋼琴染面,雖然很容易被指紋攻佔,但看起來很漂亮。黑面白底,感覺很時尚。鍵盤打起來很有手感,也不會太嘈,適合長期使用鍵盤的人仕。雖然只有五組快捷鍵,對某些人可能略欠不足,但本人已習慣使用Launchy,所以沒有影響,反而這樣較不佔空間,方便收藏。但也不是沒有缺點,通常F4~F5鍵之間會有空位,方便用者判斷F5的位置,我是那種愛用F5 Reload網頁的人,現在每次要低頭看鍵盤實在不方便。其次是Page Up與Page Down鍵與右邊沒有空位,這實在是節省空間所附出的最大代價...




Mouse

基本上超過90%的時間是使用鍵盤的,所以對Mouse的評語不太多,優點是大細適中,不像某些滑鼠長得太小,用太久會痛,另外USB接收端也可以藏到滑鼠下面,方便外帶。鼠標也不會亂跑,準成度很高。附有開關鍵,晚上應該可以省不少電。缺點就是滾輪的鍵太輕了,略為少缺手感。



總結

基本上用這個價錢,買到這種產品,還加上2年保養,本人認為值得推薦,心動不如行動,買吧。

素菜

今天中午去了一家吃素菜的餐廳,此店窄而細,只能放下5,6張枱,每張枱最多也只能坐3人,枱與枱之間自能讓一人通過,而且這家店可稱得上是自助服務,除了菜之外,湯和飯都是自助服務,當然好處是隨我高興,吃到飽。老闆娘態度很好,與澳門其它的餐廳相比,我覺得這家店的服務好太多了。來的都是熟客,老闆娘幾乎都能叫出他們的名字,看來只有我才是外人,而老闆娘也知道我是新來的,所以很關心,總是告訴我在那裏拿飯,那裏拿湯。當然我是來吃飯的,吃才是重點,雖然是素菜,但清新而不怕太淡,加上任吃的紅燥米飯,感覺很滿足。但最令人意想不到的,是結帳的時候,老闆娘竟然跟我說,這也是自助服務,我第一個感覺是..."不是吧!?" 老闆娘應該感受到我的驚訝,所以輕輕的再說一句:「大家應該互相信任的。」聽到這句,心裏很溫暖,我們人與人之間,缺少的不是甚麼,而是一份信任,你爭我奪得到的只有緊張和不自在,還是知足常樂。我抱住溫飽的肚,以及充實的心,滿足的離開,我想我會再來。

Uncovering competing commitments

1. What would you like to see changed at work, so that you could be more effective or so that work would be more satisfying? (People complain only about the things they care about)

2. What commitments does your complaint imply?

3. What are you doing, or not doing, that is keeping your commitment from being more fully realized? (To understand why people behave in ways that undermine their own success)

4. If you imagine doing the opposite of the undermining behavior, do you detect in yourself any discomfort, worry, or vague fear?

5. By engaging in this undermining behavior, what worrisome outcome are you committed to preventing? (To transform that passive fear into a statement that reflects an active commitment to preventing certain outcomes)

Competent Jerks, Lovable Fools

Organizations are designed to ensure that people interact in ways necessary to get their jobs done.

When people need help getting a job done, they'll choose a congenial colleague over a more capable one. If someone is liked, his colleagues will seek out every little bit of competence he has to offer.

Bureaucrat

Bureaucrat,中文翻譯為"官僚",Prof.說,真正的Bureaucrat是不管面對誰,都按本旨做事,看來一直錯用這詞了。

The Big Eight

Most people in business are motivated by between one and three deeply embedded life interest - long held, emotionally driven passions for certain kinds of activities. Deeply embedded life interests are not hobbies or enthusiasms; they are innate passions that are intricately entwined with personality. All business work could be broken down into eight types of core activities.
  • Application of Technology
  • Quantitative Analysis
  • Theory Development and Conceptual Thinking
  • Creative Production
  • Counseling and Mentoring
  • Managing People and Relationships
  • Enterprise Control
  • Influence Through Language and Ideas
