在一個相當優質的Blog上赫然發現"優化"這怪詞:

"本博客的iPhone優化版"
我認為:
大部份"XX化"的形容詞都是直接翻譯英文"xx-ize"等字,中英雜交("歐化")的產物。
但如有現成的中文形容詞可用就應避免用"XX化"的這種膠中文。
又:
不是逢"X化"皆膠, 偶然也有佳作:
"赤化" - 令人馬上聯想到血流成河的畫面。

Easter long weekend
盛情難卻, 去了朋友的教會 Open House。
牧師是典型死光社人, 只對性議題有興趣, 社會公義隻字不提。又把進化論扭曲得面目全非來「證明」「人的偉大」。

這種沒水準的牧師非常趕客 :P
**********************************************
悶了一個上午後決定去 Hero Burger 試試。
評價: Premium 價錢, 不外如是。
看 Hero Burger 開到一街都係, 怕且都會步Krispy Kreme 後塵咯。
呢個 Weekend 真黑仔。

Delay No More
This morning I need to get in office early to do month end stuff so I took the 6:28 am GO Train, and guess when it arrived at Union? 8:22am
40 min train ride turned into a 2 hr journey on my busiest day of the month. Lovely. (Yes I am psst)
**********************************************************************************
I have subscribed to the Go Alert email so let's see what we get about these delay...
Email #1:
Richmond Hill passengers may expect a longer commute than usual this morning due to equipment issues in Richmond Hill. Please visit http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/status/showtrainbus.aspx for updates.
This message was sent on: 4/7/2009 6:54 (am)
Email #2:
Richmond Hill train service is estimated to be delayed over 30 minutes due equipment issues. Update to follow.
This message was sent on: 4/7/2009 7:11 (am)
Email #3:
The equipment issue at Richmond Hill has been resolved. The Richmond Hill 07:28 - Union 08:10 train trip is estimated to be delayed 15 minutes from Richmond Hill and the Richmond Hill 07:58 - Union 08:40 train trip is expected to operate as scheduled. Please visit http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/status/showtrainbus.aspx for updates.

My thoughts:
1. My train was 6:28am and the first email alert wasn't sent until 6:54, almost 30 min after the fact. (They can argue that an alert will only be issued if the delay is 30min or more, but considered that I can reach downtown from RH in 30min if I drive on a traffic free day - the email alert doesn't sound too useful to me.)
2. The 6:28 train departed RH at 7:12 and reached Union at 8:22 am this morning, so can someone tell me how this is possible: "The Richmond Hill 07:28 - Union 08:10 train trip is estimated to be delayed 15 minutes from Richmond Hill" (Email #3).
3. There was nothing in the bulletin board or the Go Alert saying how long it took the 6:28 train to reach Union. I would love to see if they will include this delay in the statistics at all, or if they will just play the number game (how many times of >15 min delay, so this is only one count; and as Email #3 indicated, even their statistics for the duration of delay is questionable).
4. GO has increased their fare every year and I don't see much improvement in their services.
5. Almost Every train trip are 5-10 minutes late and they won't include those "minor" delays in their statistics.
GO Train, stop calling yourself environmentally friendly - You are not. People drive to work because of your incompetence.
