This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

But it's not so much distinct from an 'apron'.

Now I know where the little text editor Nano stands in UNIX-like systems. Anyway, the somewhat venerable and light Pico text editor has ceased development long time ago.
I'm about to comb through a text tutorial on the Nano editor.

Snazzy OS X, formidably penetrating Windows, and deeply powerful Linux.
I choose the latter two for serious desktop computing. Which ones do you pick?

Personally I don't like the information deluge exacerbated by Facebook.
Unfortunately, Facebook has become the bridgehead for many businesses and people.
