New Job

"You should also finish the Server Administration Guide by the end of this week." "OK." "And you have to keep in mind who your target audience is, because you will train them in server administration and maintenance." "But it is difficult for me at the moment." "Then you have to learn," said the CTO (Chief Technology Officer), patting me on the back.   A year ago, if someone told me that I would go abroad and train the foreign engineers in server-related stuff, I would have thought it was

On the Move again

Long before our lease contract became due, the landlord sent me a message: "We are not ready to renew the leasing contract when it expires. You have to look for another house elsewhere."   It is very upsetting to receive such a message, and what's more, the message is presented in such an impolite way. But she is the owner of the house and can do whatever she wants unless it is in accordance with the law.   Last Sunday she and her husband came here with a man, talking about upholstery. She

The Person We Should Thank most in 2007

It is indeed the holiday season now. As a tradition, we send and receive a large amount of short messages recently. Today I received such a message from an old friend of mine:   The end of the year is drawing close. Who is the person that you should thank most in the year 2007? Who has given you a guide when you are at a loss? Who has ignited your life that would otherwise have been commonplace? Please do not blurt out my name. Be low-profile... Be low-profile...   It is just a witty message

Farewell, Netscape

Recently I came across the news that the Netscape team has given up their work on the Netscape web browsers, and it turns out to be true. Please click here to view the details.   I have heard about the Netscape browser, but never used it, which is said to be very popular in 1990s. Anyway, they are giving up their efforts. I seldom used computer in the 1990s. When I started to use the computer and have the Internet access, the only web browsers I heard was Internet Explorer (5.0 at that time).

Shanghai Metro

Shanghai Metro   7 metro lines have been put to operation in Shanghai, plus a maglev line, connecting the suburbs with the center of the city.   I like traveling by metro. One of the major reasons is that it is punctual, unless there is a breakdown of the train, which can be fixed within a few minutes or a dozen minutes. But be sure not to get up too late, the trains run at longer intervals in off hours.   Another reason is that whatever is outside, be it pouring rain or scorching sun

Mid-autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival falls on August 15th on the Chinese lunar calendar each year. It is a very important traditional Chinese festival, which is a day for a gettogether of the family members to chat, eat mooncakes, etc.       There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once, scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer nam
