剛剛發現一個可以上傳並分享slide的免費服務，slideshare.net，單一上傳檔案不能超過三十MB（很合理），可以吃ppt、OpenOffice (ODP format)與pdf的格式，mac上的endnote則要先轉成pdf格式，目前沒還有付費制度。一如所有social media的服務，每個簡報都可有自己的url、可以分享、放到自己的部落格中，也可以選擇授權方式，以及讓人下載與否。

將前陣子於成大建築系的演講上傳試試，效果還不錯，但顯然的如果簡報中有影片/聲音是沒辦法的，而它提供的embed語法，與drupal有點不和，稍作修改即可。算是一個分享學習資訊的好方式。

一如之前的追尋。我愈來愈不可能在同一地方，同一台電腦，同一種作業系統上工了。隨身帶著對研究者來說不可或缺的書目整理軟體（如endnote)就會變成很大的難題。

我早想試試drupal早先看到的模組了，花了一個小時裝了Drupal 5.1 版加上 biblio module, 然後從endnote匯進一千多筆書目資料，一切ok。還算具有彈性與編修的可能。真是值得一記之事。實驗的網址於此。目前還有幾個小問題待解決：

1。雖然容易新增資料類型，但匯出時是以generic形式，這使得你必須從endnote里調整，有點笨。（作者說這應該是bug，希望不久可以修正）
2。原本的類型沒有edited book此類，增加之後，作者變成一定要填入的欄位（在嚴謹的論文寫作中，這是當然），但如果只是蒐集研究資料，就有點煩了。而author一欄，其實可以設定成not required, 但上文時仍舊會要求否則無法張貼。（明顯的bug一枚）
3。也因為此，原本從endnote匯進去的資料，只要是原本類型沒有的，就完蛋了，需要一筆筆調教。但總比用refwork每年一百美元省點錢。（窮的人，或愛冒險的人自然要花時間的）
4。匯入的資料不能修改，唉，這是一個大問題。不過作者也在解決當中。(不過，你如果不理系統的警告，還是可以成功的）

另，這其實也是一個工作小組、讀書小組、或者任何共筆與癖好蒐集團體的好工具，延伸延伸，還可以是不錯的生產工具。

看到陳其寬先生去世的消息，我久久不能語。（1， 2)

在時間軸裡，我知道每個人都走向逝者愈來愈多的終點，然而我也知道它不能止住你，儘管儘管一切看來多餘而無力，你仍死地裡要努力奉上一曲向自己與逝者的悼念。這悼念有著命定的規律：紀念你自己的多，紀念逝者的少。

感謝他與貝聿銘給了我生活了五年的靜寧逸趣校園，讓我第一次體會到建築與空間的魔力，那是一首展開在大度山上的詩，一首地景上美妙低吟的迴旋曲。我想冥冥中他無寧是不肯回到東海吧，看到那些後現代怪物矗立在他精細的中國潑墨畫幅裡，看到那些為了賺錢招生而來的水泥大怪破壞了建築、外文系館的美妙關係，以及一路下去隱匿動人的空間詩。東海想要頒給他榮譽博士不啻是他建築生命的諷刺，猶如動人建築立面上一個最壞的、多餘的、矯飾的花窗。

陳其寬先生真的不僅是我佩服的建築師而已，一如王大閎先生一樣。

寂寞星球上的人們老像浦澤直樹的「怪物」一樣，分頭找尋名字。有人聽了傳說也找到了冥王星上的甜美；有人則尋覓新家而將所有記憶與動物的苦離當作簽證。

總之，兩年前的英國人變成台灣人之際也要離開了。我們習慣了她的嬌縱下的才華，喜歡她以直率童趣的想像來繪出我們的文字，喜歡她老是需要翻譯的普通話（與笑話），喜歡她那春光乍現般的天真與老是點不要麵的魷魚羹麵當晚餐。芮貝卡小姐是有史以來最不像破報同仁的伙伴，也因此，她老像從冥王星掉下來的早餐，我們總是笑著演出溝通不良卻又歡樂異常的工作戲碼。我還記得第一次她與媽媽一同前來面試，小心翼翼的觀察「破報」是否是個正常的公司而不是一場騙局？不過到現在，我也很難確定現在她的答案是什麼。

老實說，我應該見識慣了生命與職場中的離合，喜歡離別勝於面試。我們總有許多生命交遇的軌跡，誰知道自己的運氣如何？英國著名的「文化馬克斯主義」湯普森(E.P. Thompson)老是用最美妙的話語來回答人們詢問他為何從馬克思主義轉向文化研究，他說：「我只是順著美麗的風景前行而已！」我希望妳這趟破報之旅也曾有美麗的風景。

可惜別人說過的話只能借用，不能顯露真心。那我在有限的時間該與芮貝卡小姐說什麼呢？除了原諒我的爛脾氣以外？恩，Finding your breakfast on Pluto.一如王爾德的王子與燕子最終會在天堂裡重聚。（刊於破報復刊459期 編輯室手記）

設計在工業革命許久之前，就已經整合至資本主義裡頭，一如藝術的「價值」與「藝術家」這行業的出現與資本主義與市場並行般。此書當然非學術討論設計如何與該如何的經典，而是一本設計歷史型錄，讓讀者可以輕易瀏覽英國工業革命前夕，對工業化欲拒還迎的圈地運動（1750-）至一九七零年代左右之設計、工業發展、國家意識型態與人類夢想的所創造的華麗資產。在「美學經濟力」或著「樂活」當頭紅的台灣社會，聰慧的讀著可從此書讀出些資本與象徵（符號、再現）力量如何一步步的緊扣進入我們的日常生活，又或者你/妳大可當它是本進了7-11之後《誠品好讀》的補充包。至少裝高雅與襯頭的時候，還有點歷史資料可以裝填不時空虛的文藝青年軀體。（刊於破報復刊459期）

其實這書過年之後就出來了，（介紹一， 介紹二, 介紹三, 介紹四）得到不少好評，「據說」與以前市府出版品大不相同，辛苦總有點成就。這是第一次台北縣市文化局所合作出版，也聽從我的建議，不要縣市分開出成兩冊，而以「大台北」為核心來介紹台北縣市文化地景，歷史很難以行政界線區分，地理交通亦同。

我重新設定了說台北故事的方式，希望在閱讀地理的時候，有著歷史的縱深，也希望這不僅是一本與坊間旅遊書爭利的小冊子而已。雖然在印刷的時候，印刷場有點「毀了」當初的設計，使得現在我們還沒辦法完全驗收。不過，書出了總要面對世人。希望再版（太多市民與團體索取了，而且台北市的一大部分的書，在草山會館中一起燒給蔣介石了）時能夠有較好的印刷品質。

昨天台北縣文化局的人打電話給我，說民進黨的議員對此書的「史觀」有點意見，要拿來議會討論。從好的方面來想，議會可以討論書是進步的，從壞的方面來說，要讓這些議員懂得歷史地誌的觀念大概很難。

剛回國，一刻也閒不得。籌劃數月之久的工作坊終於確定。歡迎各位朋友前來參與。

破報與世新大學新聞系將於四月二八、二九日假世新大學管理學院大樓國際會議廳舉辦自己幹國際工作坊─ 「媒體行動者與直接行動」，為國內首次關於「自己幹文化」的國際媒體行動工作坊。此次將邀請日本的科技藝術中心(REMO)與日本獨立媒體中心，韓國的媒體行動組織 Med Act，香港的獨立媒體與國際在地、影像行動者（V Activist)、同志網路廣播電台等組織者來台，台灣方面更有台灣環境資訊中心、苦勞網、全球化之聲中文化小組的成員共同參與。詳細課程資訊與報名方式可見此。歡迎所有熱愛行動與文化造反，思考媒體行動的另類實踐的朋友共同參與。報名表可於此下載，學生參與費用300元，社會人士600元，包含兩天會議午餐與講義文件。

來雪梨參加一個ourmedia會議，直到現在我的plenary結束，才有時間到處找wireless收信（雪梨科技大學鎖無線網路無不用盡其極）。我昨晚熬夜徹底改了我原本要present 的內容，把台灣樂生的故事讓這裡百餘位的各國媒體研究者、學者、media activist知道台灣政府的無能，背信，以及台灣blogosphere難得出現力量，與樂青與諸位朋友的國際串連能力：紐約和華盛頓的 campaigns ，法國的free hugs。晚一點應該會有紀錄出現，我再來留下網址。

感謝幫助樂生的朋友，加油。我希望16日能夠趕回去一起守著樂生。

The petition letter

To: Premier Su
Executive Yuan, Taiwan (R.O.C.)
via Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York
Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the U.S.
Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in San Francisco
And more.....
We are writing this letter to express our deeply concern to the decision you made to evict the Lo-Sheng Sanatorium. Sir, as the chief of Taiwanese government, recently your prior concern toward the MRT construction project over the human and cultural rights in the controversial issue of Lo-sheng, is truly injustice and unacceptable for us. In this crucial time of the forced eviction toward Lo-sheng, we want to express our angry and sadness of your decision to the Human Rights Council, Economic and Social Council of United Nations. We will carry this crisis of human right violation to the Bureau of Democracy, Human Right and Labor, United State of America as well.

Through the twentieth century, people suffered from the Leprosy all around the world have been forced to be separated from society, leaving their dear families and friends, spending the whole life in an isolated sanatorium. In fact, in some cases, the whole family lines of a Leprosy patient breaks down, just in case of the only child suffered from leprosy. Nowadays, many Leprosy sanatoriums, since their lands are becoming valuable, project of development were proposed in their homeland. What is outrageous is that most of these develop projects concerns nothing about the ethical and humanity right of these Leprosy patients, no matter how these issues is indeed crucial in the dislocation cases.

Now, these leprosy sanatoriums¡¦ historical and cultural value is worldwide recognized. They are indeed the real treasures in our time. Many countries now not only compensate, but also try very hardly to protect the living rights of those Leprosy patients, including their house and living space. This is because these governments, such as American, Japan, and England. They have now realized the old policy of segregation is completely wrong and inhuman. This realization brings to a creative synergy, to open a new life of these sanatorium facilities, and make them be benefit to the whole society. The preservation of Leprosy history is indeed the preservation of the country¡¦s history, as well as the people¡¦s lifestyle in the land. (please see attachment for examples of some of these).

Since the anti-Leprosy movement is still a great issue in Asia and the whole world. In the coming January, 2008, one international conference of Leprosy is going to open in India. This conference is hold by international NGOs concerning about Leprosy issue for a long time. And the next International Leprosy Congress is going to open in Hyderabad. The residents of Lo- Sheng have been invited to designate as representative to serve on the five-member panel in the conference 2008, and they will lead the discussion. We fervently hope that the Taiwanese government and people can recognize that Lo-Sheng¡¦s residents are truly the national treasures.

Although suffered form Leprosy for the whole life, the residents in Lo-sheng never stop teaching us the spirit of fighting against the distress of life. Their lives have undergone separation from society and family, yet there is no revenge or hatred in them. The simply request they propose is that their history of tear can be remembered, and they can remain living in their own home, till their very last breath.

We hope that we can work together to save this important chapter of medical human right in Taiwan's history. Let this to be remembered as moments of justice and humanity, not as force and violence. We firmly oppose to the eviction toward these elders who have sacrificed their families and lives fro years and years, just for ensuring and guarding the safety of our society. Their story is our story. None of us can get rid of it.

We would hope sincerely to your response and fair solution.

Sincerely

Cosigners

採訪通知：「樂生立法，生死之戰！」或聞國民黨及立委蔡家福將再進場阻擾法案協商！國會女立委群捍衛正義，四月四日上午十點半，群賢樓大門。

13：46：24
新聞發佈─＞今立院漢生人權法案協商經國民黨籍立委蔡家福、民進黨黨籍立委吳秉口，曹來旺聯合鬧場阻撓，致使無法進入協商，自救會為此感到憤怒。隨後說明。

14：56：48
採訪通知─＞今午樂生人權立法協商遭國民兩黨若干立委鬧場杯葛，自救會偕同民間團體於今下午三點在立院大門（中山南路）舉行記者會嚴重抗議並說明過程。

進到報社辦公室，看著一直播放的新聞，沒有一台新聞有樂生的新聞，還是胡瓜爛瓜小馬老王光蘇長謝撈游的新聞,還有賣藥被抓與內衣廣告。

然後，收到我的記者一封簡訊：

16：45：10
請轉寄請趕來立院前支持我們的靜坐─＞＞漢生法案協商蔡曹吳立委前來阻擋，法案受阻籲請王金平及各黨團承諾推案。
