需要一块额外的硬盘

Feb 22, 2005

本本的硬盘只有40G,已完全无法满足日常需要,因此我开始考虑购买一块新的硬盘。

用台式机时,我用过2.1G的硬盘,也用过20G、45G和120G的,每次购置新硬盘时,驱动着你去买一块更大容量的理由,往往是性价比。这次有好几位同事也劝我买一块160G的较大容量的,但是我拒绝了这项建议。性价比的攀高意味着更大的支出,而下列理由却告诉我,可预见的将来80G左右的一块额外硬盘,已能满足我的需要:

  • 由于宽带的使用,已经没有必要在本地保存大量的软件;
  • 精选的电影和音乐,已经习惯于刻盘永久保留;
  • 长时间不使用的垃圾资料,空耗维护成本,不如一删了之;
  • 为了保证剩余空间的充足,我需要不断学习计算机使用技能,并经常性地整理硬盘,这不仅使人提高,而且使人勤勉;
  • 现在的硬盘容量发展迅速,但保修期短且容易损毁,大容量同时也意味着高风险。

我用这块硬盘的主要用途,主要是下载需要试用的软件和BT影音,以及备份笔记本资料。

这个月的房租年前已经提前交了,明天中午就去买硬盘去:)

No plan's perfect

Feb 19, 2005

A bit late to plan for the new year, but I still have to do it. If I said I have no plan for 2005, it would be sort of diappointing when those nice people who always care about me read this blog.

But no plan is perfect. I nearly discarded every single plan I made. So I think planning is just a way to make yourself do something, it doesn’t any matter whether you finish it or not at last.

Todo list for ‘05:

  • Learn how to drive and get a license. Having a car is one thing, having the ability to drive a car is another thing. It’s a basic skill. I should have RMB 4,000 - 5,000 in hand when I’m doing this.
  • Cure the bad habit of using up salary every month. If not, one day it’ll kill me. It’ll be even better if I can deposit a certain percentage of my salary in the bank, and learn investing using another part of it. It’s unnecessary to become rich, but it’s important not to be poor.
  • Moving to another city. 6 years I’ve been away from home. I feel lonely sometimes, and I believe it’s nice to live and work not so far from the place where I grew up (perhaps that’s what some people call root, I don’t know).
  • Enjoy life. It’s a big lesson worth learning in one’s whole life. I was bad at it in 2004. In 2005 I hope I can make some progress.
  • Do more physical exercises. I felt I was 20 when I graduated from college, But now I feel more than 30! It’s difficult to believe this as it was 22 months ago I started working, but this is the truth. It’s not so late to do something to change it now.

I planned one year ago.Then I acted. Then all became a piece of shit. I won’t let it happen this year.

Going home

Feb 5, 2005

Today is the last day but two of this year in Kingsoft. Actually I had nothing to do at all this week. I read some materials to obtain an overview of J2EE, finding there’re so many related topics. That makes me headache.

Finally it’ll be time I went home for the SF. I’m having 10 days off, so it looks like I won’t blog for a while.  But I can’t guarantee that because when I’m too tired visiting my relatives and friends or eating too much (I always eat too much in the Spring Festival, and I have no doubt that one day I will look like Garfield), I’ll rest and surf, and then perhaps there’s something worth blogging.

Anyway, I fell happy and easy, and a bit sleepy. See ya guys next year!

终于明白什么是Night Build

Feb 2, 2005

我明白了,我终于明白了!若每个里程碑的版本都是在夜里——最好是后半夜一两点,所有programmers都处于半梦游状态时——被构建出来的,那么这种出版本的方式可以称为Night Build。传说中老外的项目大部分是自动化Night build的,那他们真幸福。搞不明白的是,我们明明可以在白天搞定的事,为何一定要留到夜里来完成。

再有不到一个星期就可以回家了。Counting down…
