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

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:)

Locating the Guilty Java Threads

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

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

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.

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?!?!

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?
