ZT: Outsourcing grumbles promote multisourcing

Originally from CIO Asia

Dissatisfaction with traditional outsourcing relationships is changing the way enterprises and their IT service providers do business, said IT services and solutions company Datacraft, quoting a survey. “Increasingly, outsourcing agreements are being cancelled, not renewed or renegotiated due to dissatisfaction with price, service or quality,” the study underlined.

居然已经六年了

回头看自己的Blog,从2003年在TLL使用MovableType,到后来转到Mambo/Joomla,直到现在的wordpress。比较起来,Joomla用在建站上值得,我投入学习的时间也没有白费。做博客还是Wordpress最方便。

写的零零碎碎,接起来确实六年的成长历程。人生的积累真是惊人呀。坚持实在是一种美德。

电影:feet unbound

电影简介原文:

A young woman retraces the footsteps of China’s female soldiers of The Long March and encounters untold stories of courage and hope in the face of extreme deprivation and brutality. This is the never-been-told story of the Chinese Red Army’s teenage female soldiers of The Long March – a massive military retreat of over 200,000 troops on foot over 12,500 kilometres that lasted from 1934 to 1937. Only one per cent or 2,000 troops on the March were females. Most of them were teenagers fleeing poverty, cruelty and general discrimination against females. Some also had bound feet, a thousand-year-old tradition which was still a custom at the time.

电影由一位澳洲华人自费13万拍摄,讲述了红军长征中一段被遗忘的故事,就是红四方面军自己单飞以后,被敌人慢慢歼灭,其中2000多位女战士辛酸的历程。

文艺片,一般的电影卷居然不能用。

片子题材很好,向人们揭示了一段被有意淡忘的历史,不过贯穿电影的记者不够成熟,访问以前的女战士问题僵硬,不够人情味。故事穿插有些散乱,安排的不紧密。和前期看的《南京》没法相比。

有心翻翻那段历史的人可以看看。

粮食涨价问题严重

全球都在涨,新加坡的冲击也大。

三个月以前在电视上看见,政府枪手开始宣扬买冷冻猪肉比新鲜猪肉便宜又好用,颇有洗脑的嫌疑。昨天居然看见新闻报道,社区机构开始给老人上课,教授如何用土豆代替白饭来生活。我的天啦!

还好个人影响不大,该吃就吃,该玩就玩。

大道无常

在新加坡基金里翻滚了快4年了,有得有失,终于明白“大道无常”。要想在基金中赚钱,制胜秘诀就是“买了就忘”。没有人可以预测未来,频繁交易最失败。老婆2004年买的UOB GrowthPath 买了就没有动过,4年下来的成绩居然和我折腾的结果一样。频繁交易更换基金的学费交的实在太多。

人生的道理其实都是这样,简单的才能长久。我们天天吃白饭,喝白水。

Make things simple, and it will work out.
