IUSR's Ughten of Silent Requiem

Let there be job cuts

i-at-iusr.net (IUSR) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 05:10:00 +0000

So there has been another round of job cuts here, again. This is the second one I’ve survived, and it’s said to be the 3rd or the 4th, depending on who is telling the story.

Strings

What good could you get from a programmer who even cannot avoid viruses/malwares? What good could you get from a country whose people endure the most messy road traffic?

Only some texts

i-at-iusr.net (IUSR) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:23:00 +0000

Long time no blog, again.

There’s simply no exciting things for me over this long period after returning from Germany. Ah, yes, except one thing: I’m now engaged, after 5 years:)

Going to the UK

i-at-iusr.net (IUSR) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:18:00 +0000

by air next Monday.

The UK is actually my first stop. I’ll stay there up to maybe 20 days or so, and then will move on to Germany. Everything regarding this trip has been in such a hurry that I feel right like I’m dreaming. Everything, the passport application, Schengen visa application and the UK visa application, as well as other miscellaneous affairs and surprises.

Lyrics of Bryan Adams (Everything I Do) I Do It For You

I remembered this song while I was young and was a middle school pupil.

Only 1 of These 8 "Girls" is Really a Girl

Long time no blog, and I really feel embarrassed to paste a picture full of girls.

A summary of my recent experience with resolving an 100% CPU utilization issue.

Bravo, Kaiyuan Wang

It was quite a piece of shocking news produced by Kaiyuan Wang, a fully dedicated Open Source, um, should I say, evangelist. There’s no need for me to repeat what has happened. All I have to say is that, I AM ON HIS SIDE. I’ve never ever imagined that someday I can see such a brave Chinese, although in foreign countries there are a lot of such people who dare to even sacrifice for their undertaking. It’s too hard to realize one’s dream here.

I suppose you all have adverted. It’s another Friday at a 13th date.

Start the Eclipse TPTP Profiling Agent under the Standalone Mode in a Linux Box

i-at-iusr.net (IUSR) — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 07:57:00 +0000

I did this long ago. Since I’m not required to do it repeatedly, it took me another 15 minutes to get warmed up. This time I’m recording the procedures here as a preparation for tomorrow’s exploration on why the hell that tomcat instance was taking so long to start up.

Catch ya~

Well, I don’t know how to describe the feeling when I pick someone up by recognizing his/her blog, after losing his/her track for some years.

Need a real portable browser? K-Melon to the rescue!

I’d never imagined that one day I would be working in a very much limited environment, and thus applications like Portable Firefox which tend to be as much green as possible had never got my attention. But nowadays, I’ve completely changed my attitude towards such applications.

Linked List Patented?!?!

i-at-iusr.net (IUSR) — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 21:19:00 +0000

Not quite sure about this, but from a recent clue posted on slashdot, this insane patent is probably true. And some comments on slashdot points out it’s triply linked list that got patented, not our good old linked list or doubly linked list. Nevertheless, it’s still not that difficult to make varieties of existing data structures and/or algorithms and register a patent for it. Whoa, I’d better go back to my algorithm books and make a summary of remaining patent-able data structures and/or algorithms. Oops, first of all, I need a companion with a US nationality. Who’s interested? I see in your eyes, the same scorn that would take the heart of me. All mighty US patent agencies! Haven’t they realized most computer stuff originate from the US, and with their fingers they can probably affect this fragile industry?

It’s a damn cold night. The drizzle today just drove me back to the winter while I’m wearing thinner clothes. There always seems to be only 2 seasons here: the summer and the winter. Spring is the lesser winter, and fall, too.
