人总是要向前看的

最近真实多愁善感，重读刘墉老师的一些杂书，从前觉得空虚泛滥的东西发现咀嚼起来有了一些新的味道。想必是从前自己对于人性的东西想得太过‘以自我意愿为中心的’，对于自己的情商与豁达有很多不切实际又未加验证的盲目自信。

世事洞明皆学问，人情练达即文章，加深了几个很浅显的道理的体会，也即：冤有头债有主（真的很浅显），任何事情发生了，从自身找些问题的源泉便会豁然开朗很多；有些事后即使你出离愤怒，万念俱灰，好似心被汤匙一点一点的挖掘，但是你还是无法放下，你也便知道你真的要什么了。

不相干的人，今后都不会动小孩子气了，不理不看不想。吐槽发癫的事要杜绝，倘若真的被我剑气所伤（我内力真的很差，吐槽不能），君子绝交不出恶声，别太在意了。

做工啦。

于2013.1.18泛泛而论，聊以自慰，也似警钟。

Exam Week

My first blog written on Blogger IPad, I have been waiting for the release of this app for days, simple but easy using, while still trying to figure out how to view the blogs I followed.

And Yes, I have four incoming exams next week, so exiting! That's why I have stopped blogging these days. I am moving to campus today, live in friends dorm for several days, and probably, I am going to try the overnight room in Library, or, I have to....

I will see you guys when Dec comes, happy Movember! Btw.

Why Using Summer/Daylight Saving Time? Thoughtful Ponder Behind This Artificial Change

Hi guys, it has been a long time since the last time I posted, and yes, I remember my words in one of my post days ago, namely, A Flash of Idea About Blogging, in which I promised I would keep blogging 1-2 times a week, so if you are a regular reader of my blog and able to do the primary school mathematics, you will found that I haven't posted anything for 2 weeks in a row, last one for the host stuff doesn't count at all.

I have been feeling shameful for several days and it's just getting worse and worse when you cannot walk your talk. But have some mercy on me, the only reason I became a  munchausen is because I lost my laptop charger and adapter!

I don't want to dig too deep on how I lost my precious babies, it was really a long story, the thing is the lid of my laptop has been closed for 4 days, and, I feel great!

No need to worry about the procedure of the projects, no need to check the mails and do any software related work for my internship, no need to spend a lot of time wandering around web while doing nothing, no need to....(I can still check mails on my iPad and surf internet on it, but it's less likely for me to reply the mails on my iPad, and I can become quite reading effective on my iPad)...It just felt so right, and I suddenly earned myself several hours one day, since I slept early everyday and got up like an early bird, I got plenty of time doing what I like to do, cooking for my girlfriend, reading in the balcony, keep running and jogging at night in AMK park(Yes, as I promised, I am still on track implementing my daily working out plan!).

It's like I have created a Daylight Saving Time for myself! Awesome.

When Benjamin Franklin first initiated this kind of idea, he was meant to save energy and make people more efficient in summer time when sun rises earlier.

The benefits of DST are decreased electricity consumption, a slight drop in the number of traffic accidents and crime. In addition to that, DST increases recreational time in the afternoons and boosts economy. The disadvantage are minor compared to the advantages. Some prefer not to change the clocks twice a year. However, there are also actual costs as well as gains. According to a academic study in 1999, the spring and fall time changes costs 60 billion US dollars to investors. The adjustments make individuals "slightly impaired" according to the researchers. The 1986 DST extension in the US benefited Barbecue Industry Association, the American Association of Nurserymen and convenience-store owners by 135 billion US dollars (Brearton, 2011). With these figures DST is a gold mine. Below is a categorized presentation of the pros and cons of daylight saving time.

And I was always fascinated by the concept of the Daylight Saving Time, so let's talk about it by dividing into  the pros and cons:

1. Daylight saving time decreases residential electricity usage.

2. DST decreases the number of traffic accidents.

3. DST reduces crime.

4. DST increases recreational time.

5. DST increases economic activity.

6. Daylight saving time brings a smile to everybody's faces by providing more light and sunshine.

For the Cons,

1. The change to DST may disturb the rest-activity cycle.

2. DST increases fuel consumption hence atmospheric pollution.

All in All, the concept of DST is great, and it does a great help for the development of certain area. The pity is, for a country like China, which crosses three time blocks, it's almost impossible to implement this method, considering the commercial and social disorders and mess it may trigger. That's why the government put a stop for DST years ago.

Anyway, for individuals, never count on any system to be time efficient, as long as you have the right time management skills, the gold won't treat you bad, and TIME MANAGEMENT is something I am learning now, will share with you guys when I get something inspiring, to be continued...

My HOST file problem, when you can not receive request from certain servers

I have been blocked from Google.com and Facebook.com for days, though I can still use most of the applications from Google.com.sg, the Gmail, unfortunately, can be only accessed though google.com's server, that hurts!

Finally turned out my host file was rewritten by some anonymous guy--I tried dozens of ways to fix the system problem, just ignored the simplest one, shame.

I will reserve my right if you are doubting it's because I am watching too many porns in my laptop, that's.....not true.

Cannot talk too much now, since everything back on track now, will post my long-drafted blog soon, looking forward...to be continued
