Occasionally we can found that the Bash key-binding such as M-f/M-b will not work in XTerm (this happened both in my laptop and desktop), to solve this problem, just press `Control’ and left mouse and check the item `Meta Sends Escape’ from the main options.
To turn it on permanently, add the following line to configure file ‘/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm’:
*metaSendsEscape: true
已经很久没有在这一亩三分地写下稍许文字，而每次动笔的冲动总会在不经意间悄然消融。隐约中有一股落寞与寂寥，无法言语。
断断续续的，SICP已经只剩最后一章没看了。因为工作关系使用了一段时间Ruby，我觉得这是最接近Lisp的语言之一，一切都很自然，仿佛邂逅一位多年不见的好友，一点都不陌生。最近又有点迷上Haskell，读完SICP第四章特别是逻辑程序设计那一节后，居然连Haskell代码看起来也挺顺眼。Solidot上有篇文章说，“程序设计语言就像女朋友：新的更好，因为你想变得更好。你认为学了新语言就能成为更好的程序员。”
我个人认为这在某种程度上是一种排遣方式 - 旧语言的习惯已经根深蒂固，很难找到进步的喜悦。新语言对程序员而言是一种新鲜感和收获感 - 在了解到一定程度后继续重复该循环。
文章里还说：不要追求你不需要的东西。

今天向自己的hg仓库检入了第一百个changeset，初步完成了自己的第一个代码生成工具。回头在看看这五百行Scheme代码，我确信自己很不喜欢它们 — 直白但流于杂乱。
这几天读cgia才豁然发现，在聪明的程序员手中，很多枯燥的工作都能以优美的方式解决。问题是，很多时候，自己缺乏那种视角，所谓“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”。
如果让我重写，我可能会用ERB来解决之。Template System的好处是数据和逻辑分离，而我现在的Scheme代码中直接hard-code了目标代码。
This afternoon I spent almost two hours hunting a memory leak reported by valgrind. It said that there are 2034 bytes definitely lost in g_hash_table_new_full(), but I am pretty sure that g_hash_table_destroy() is invoked with each key been passed to g_free().
The fix turned out to be a slight modification of call sequence to g_thread_init(), from:
to:
then, the error memory leak error just vanished.
