我的寫作技巧仍有待改進。現在 Project α 還是只有剛成形的骨架，預計未來會有多次重寫，所以無論有什麼意見，或是見到有什麼錯誤或不滿之處的話，不管是遣詞用字、描寫、劇情、場景等等，甚至是錯別字，請務必提出。

另外，如果現在有人估到主線情節去向，我願意請食一個月飯。

還有一點，Project α 是以 Creative Common 授權形式刊出，所以如果你覺得我無法改到你滿意，或者喜歡世界設定而不滿劇情的話，歡迎分支 (fork)。當然，世界設定是怎樣，仍然未有人知，因為關鍵劇請要到好後期才會出現。

至於為何叫這做 portal？好問題。

距離更新 (上載第六章) 一年兩個月有多，第七章終於到步。

也不知多久沒寫過字。與之前章節對比，我發現第七章的行文與時間流動都非常奇怪。我的一貫原則是先寫劇情後修飾，尤其在這種時候：劇情細節及文句皆會受我的經歷與周遭影響，如果現在不推進劇情，第二次章節斷層將很快再出現。再者，我也快忘記我之前所寫的章節了……

本章及下章將交代更多背景及為未來鋪路，預計會比較悶。預計這兩章會由頭寫過。

希望未來能每月更新 (就容我先奢望一下吧)。

When I upgraded to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean via OTA earlier this month, the bundled Calendar application was upgraded to version 4.1.1-398337. After this, a bug appears.

The bug only happens when default reminder time is set to None.

After adding a new event, everything seems fine. Go into the event screen, everything is normal. But when you exit to month view mode, or exit the calendar, then go back to see the event, two reminders are set up automatically for you. One for (Android) notification, one for e-mail, both 10 minutes before the event commence.(See second last paragraph)

If you set a default reminder time other than “None”, The reminder will be normal: just one notification reminder of designated time.

Today, searched for the problem and found someone mentioned something with synchronisation. So, I logged in to Google Calendar on PC for the first time. Midway through the setup wizard is the default reminder setting. I immediately recognised some familiarities: a ten minute notification to phone and e-mail. I clear these two, save it, and create new events on my phone. No reminders, good.

Then I create a new event for my other Google account, which I have never logged in to calendar on PC before. Not surprisingly, the unexpected reminders are here again.

I changed the default reminder setting in Google account to 10 hours, then create a new event again on the phone. After syncing with the server, a 10-hour reminder appeared on the phone. Apparently, the initial 10-minute reminders came from the server, too. It looks like changing to month viewing mode or exiting the application will trigger the reminder generation, but it turns out it is just the delay of synchronisation.

There seems to be two independent reminder systems in the 4.1.1 Calender application: one on the phone, one from the server. There is no way on phone to change settings on server, and vice versa, thus the annoyance I faced.
