We should forget about small efficiencies — Donald Knuth

今天是第十五屆台北國際書展的最後一天, 繼去年買了島田莊司五本的推理小說之後, 今年又買了森博嗣的三本推理小說: 全部成為F, 冰冷密室與博士們, 和不會笑的數學家.

森博嗣的三本推理小說 (by pigfoot)

當然最後一天人是超多的, 更難想像漫畫館會有多擁擠了. 加上展場其實不小, 所以我和 LITY 從中午十一點多, 逛到下午四點左右, 才走馬看花的走完世貿一館. 逛到後來, 老實說疲勞的程度已經讓我沒有辦法平心靜氣的翻書看雜誌了. 不過咧, 還好一進去沒多久就看見一本義大利麵食譜, 想想好久沒煮東西了, 應該要學點新花樣, 所以就買了下來. 下次有機會來試試看吧~

要提一下的就是, LITY 有看到福爾摩斯全集才七百多元. 我想下次有機會應該要買回來回味回味. (雖然我看偵探小說的口味變重了 :p)

  • MSN hates me!

    I could not log-on MSN since yesterday. Here is some error code 81000306:

    MSN_81000306 (by pigfoot)

    And error code 81000314:

    MSN_81000314 (by pigfoot)

    Of course, I also tried MSN Web Messenger, but still be in vain.

    By some survey, the reason is that some MSN servers have these kinds of problems but others don’t, so that almost MSN accounts can log-on gracefully. I have gotten the same problem at Oct 18 2006 as well.

    The solution is … waiting, waiting, and waiting. XD

  • Bonjour de France!

    Louvre Museum

    I’ll travel to Switzerland and Paris of France from 9/29 to 10/08.

    Paris would have to be the most romantic city in the world. I think that it is worth for me to have a good Paris tours by night. Besides, it must be wonderful to take a walk around the Louvre Museum at night.
