Em, I m living in this world.

  1. Make the Most of Taking Lecture Notes

    In many of your classes, your instructor lectures on or makes a presentation about a topic, usually one that’s related to the current subject you’re studying. During a class lecture, your job is to listen actively and to take notes to reinforce what you’ve heard and jog your memory about the key points being presented. Continue reading...

  2. Australian English

    Whilst Australians speak English, there are some words and expressions used that are unique to Australia. Here are some of them: A ANZAC — Australia and New Zealand Army Corps B barbie(BBQ) — barbecue bathers — word used in South Australia to refer to a swimming garment battler — someone who works hard but stills Continue reading...

  3. Watch BBC World online

    Because I haven’t gotten a TV set in my house, I was trying to watch BBC World via Internet. Without luck, the official site of BBC World didn’t put the video stream as a free service, and I also tried lots of online TV sites, all of them has a invalid stream feed for BBC Continue reading...

  4. Java simulation for Brownian motion

    Here is the Java program written by me to simulate the Brownian motion. In this prac, I tried to use double buffering to improve the performances, but actually it is triple buffering. That’s because the JPane has already implemented the double buffering, so plus mine own copy of buffer to store the background coordinate system Continue reading...

  5. Gui Guan’s Laboratory

    Gui Guan’s Laboratory There’s more than one way to do it http://lab.guiguan.net 发现Bluehost的服务器环境非常适合在学校和家里来测试PHP脚本,呵呵。同时为了更好的学习Internet Computing,弄了一个自己的实验室,有点Google’s Lab的感觉,但是差远老:P lol 当你点击进入之后,便是我完成的IC的第二次作业啦(默认用户名:user 密码:password)。以下是这次作业的一些要点: sticky form input validation POST SESSION mail (待续…) Continue reading...

  6. Arenal Volcano Costa Rica

    I found this in Google Earth today. It’s so beautiful! After I showed this to Pat, he replied immediately “i want to build my house there”. Indeed, that’s also my dream. Great pic, thx Roberto Garcia. The Arenal Volcano is the only volcano in Costa Rica constantly active since it woke up after 400 years Continue reading...

  7. Plan for sem 2 2007

    虽然每天都睡得很晚,但还是感觉时间不够用。在计算机科学浩瀚的海洋中,奋斗一个问题,花上我5-6个小时是很正常的事情。因此常常在想,到底是做事的效率太低,还是太高?第二学期开始已经两周了,Java已经把stream和网络讲完了,下周就要开始讲图形界面了;数学刚把微分方程讲完;网络编程刚进入PHP阶段;MIT的笔记刚抄到概率问题…但我还是稀里糊涂,像刚睡醒一样。原定计划,Perl应该在这周看完了,但是现在还只完成1/3不到,而且借的书已经被图书馆催着还回去了。看来还是效率太低了,导致时间的利用率一直保持在原始阶段。还记得上次跟Thin聊天,谈到他是如何学习计算机的,他说他的那些知识都是靠自学,上课的时候都是睡大觉(估计晚上熬夜了),然后毕业照片上终于睡醒了。其实,到目前为止,我的计算机知识99%都是靠自学的。那些最前沿的技术,你是不能够等着老师来教你的,老师教给你的只能是一些基础知识。所以Thin的做法何况不是我的做法呢?不过现在头疼的就是效率问题了。分析了前面一大段废话之后,拟定了以下计划,称之为Plan for sem 2 2007: 为ACM ICPC做准备 参加学校的ICPC培训 继续阅读The art of Computer Programming (估计以后Gui Guan’s BLOG关注算法的问题会比较多了) Top-coder 积极参与讨论 减少游戏时间 完成Perl 精通PHP 初步了解AI 找一份part time job, 参加社会实践 获取驾照 ? 以上列表更新于2007-8-26 Continue reading...
