我的背景:PhD in CS,擅長開發,不擅長research,有一些paper,都不太強,也不算特別差。對research缺乏激情,所以選擇工業界。如果你的背景相差太遠,有些東西可能不適用,但是很多還是相通的。偶運氣還可以,第一個on site interview就給了offer,所以更多的是經驗,不太有教訓。題目就叫effective job hunting吧。側重interview。

I have a bibliography entry which is very long since I included its web address. Bibtex inserted some strange “%” signs. The solution is to insert some white spaces in the URL. I use the macro \url from url package and it will ignore the spaces anyway.

I am really tired of managing bookmarks. I use two Macs and at least two or three PCs, not to mention some PCs have dual or triple boot. It’s impossible to keep all the bookmark synced. Now I decided to move the bookmarks to del.icio.us. I wish I can find something that I can install on my own webserver that does the same thing for me. After all, it’d be a lot faster on a LAN.

I had to reinstall Yinan’s Windows box since we believe it was infected by viruses. She got a lot of bookmarks she doesn’t want to lose over a reinstallation. The best way is to have it point to a position out of the user profile by changing the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
"Favorites"="D:\\Favorites"

刚才在系楼的下面随便溜达,感受一下雨季来到之前最后的一屡阳光。秋意已经越来越浓,树叶开始枯黄,有的已经脱落。踱在水泥铺成的小道上,看到路边的土地上散落了一些被一天的阳光晒干的枯叶和小树枝,我本能的一阵惊喜,这都是用来生篝火的很好的材料啊,不禁弯腰下去要拾。腰弯下去一半,才忽然意识到,自己生活在文明社会,不需要生篝火取暖。这一本能的举动把我自己都逗乐了。野外的生活居然都已经成为一种习惯。

It is said that this is a quote from Homer Simpson. However I can’t find in the fortune cookie database. Nor can I verify it on google. It is an interesting remark anyway. Poor jurors :)

在MITBBS的科大版看到一篇帖子,講科大的殺手們,感觸良多,看到熟悉的名字,又懷念起那些年少輕狂的日子。文中提到的不少人物都是舊相識了。作者應是9500/19的,我當年上近世代數的時候生病,所以推遲了兩年跟9500/19上,林老師教的,那個9519的牛mm的故事至今記憶尤新,現在還時常跟人講起,我總是以很自豪的口吻跟別人講,看我們系的mm們多么有個性。一直不知道那個mm叫什么名字,現在何處,只知道學號是9519003。其實很想結識該才女。

黃鎮也記得,算是老鄉。我是南昌的,他是宜春的。后來他在科大讀研,似乎是徐森林的學生,記得他跟我說林老師以前到美國講學,也不知道美國人怎么能聽懂他福建口音的英語。我畢業的時候或者是畢業后回科大的時候還碰見過黃鎮,當時他正要出國,跟我說,不要在國內浪費青春了。

孫老師的課我當時學得也膽戰心驚,仗著自己數學基礎還湊合,僥幸拿了85分。后來我到了軟件所,她去了研究生院。因為是必修課,所以盡管本科學了,還得學一遍。她到了北京估計是心情愉快了,或者是因為所裡給壓力了,總之,大家都高高興興拿90多分。所裡另外一同學,組合數學非必修課,但是准備選,他的導師告誡說,此孫老太太,是當年我在科大的師姐,為人據說很嚴謹,你要三思而后選啊。

李百浩給我們上課的時候據說教務處專門開了個會,跟他說,李老師,不能再抓那么多人了,補考教室不夠了。于是我們僥幸脫逃,只抓了倆,跟我們一起上的9307似乎被抓的也在個位數。

說起宋老師,我還是很欣賞的,至今記得一件很對不起他的事。某次感冒了,吃了些藥,犯困,結果上課還坐在了前排,快到中午實在撐不住,頭象雞啄米。不幸被宋老師看見,語重心長的對我說,這位同學,再堅持一會兒,馬上就下課了。一直沒有機會向宋老師解釋,其實不是課講得不好聽得睡著了。我上大學的宋老師課的時候中國足球尚未商業化,文中提到的都是后事了。

陳意云就不做評論了。

該貼轉載如下。原貼在瀚海星云,我已沒有賬號,無法通知作者了,希望這位師弟/師妹不介意。

Whether wasn’t perfect this weekend so I stayed home watching the hurricane on CNN. Fortunately Dennis downgraded to Cat 3 at 120MPH. It looks like Emily is being born already.

Poor Florida, striked by Ivan last year and they are facing a worse one. It’s already a Cat 4 hurricane at over 130MPH. Hmm, we are much better off here on the west coast.
