时间是不重要的

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:46:06 GMT

翻开日历，我猛然发现我已经在富士通微电子整整实习一年零4天了。这一年是对我人生十分重要的一年，让我完成了从学校到社会的转变（虽然我马上又要变回去了），让我找到了自己到底想要做什么。

一年的工作经验，我真正体会到的是：什么是最重要的，什么是最不重要的。

1. 时间是最不重要的

工作的资历虽然重要，但并不是说做的长的人能力一定就高。所以我认为工作时间是不重要的。重要的是，一个人如何在有限的时间里面合理的安排，达到最高的效率。所以当以后有人说他在哪个行业有多少年的资历时，不要觉得有多了不起，其实你可以在更短的时间内比他做的更好。

2. 心态是最重要的

好的心态，主要是要踏实，稳重。若能发展到‘不以物喜，不以己悲’，那当然是大师境界。不过好的心态主要表现在不能浮躁，不能好高骛远。工作中，最常提到的是，你的计划是什么。如果做事情都没有计划，不知道自己想要的结果是什么，或者一个想当然的结果，那就是不好的心态。

因此，我想说明的是，有个好的计划，一丝不苟的按着计划执行，并踏实的落实到每一个细节，要达到自己期望的结果，其实用不了多少时间。

摘自美国经济学人杂志《economist》

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unhappy America

NATIONS, like people, occasionally get the blues; and right now the United States, normally the world’s most self-confident place, is glum. Eight out of ten Americans think their country is heading in the wrong direction. The hapless George Bush is partly to blame for this: his approval ratings are now sub-Nixonian. But many are concerned not so much about a failed president as about a flailing nation.

One source of angst is the sorry state of American capitalism. The “Washington consensus” told the world that open markets and deregulation would solve its problems. Yet American house prices are falling faster than during the Depression, petrol is more expensive than in the 1970s, banks are collapsing, the euro is kicking sand in the dollar’s face, credit is scarce, recession and inflation both threaten the economy, consumer confidence is an oxymoron and Belgians have just bought Budweiser, “America’s beer”.

And it’s not just the downturn that has caused this discontent. Many Americans feel as if they missed the boom. Between 2002 and 2006 the incomes of 99% rose by an average of 1% a year in real terms, while those of the top 1% rose by 11% a year; three-quarters of the economic gains during Mr Bush’s presidency went to that top 1%. Economic envy, once seen as a European vice, is now rife. The rich appear in Barack Obama’s speeches not as entrepreneurial role models but as modern versions of the “malefactors of great wealth” denounced by Teddy Roosevelt a century ago: this lot, rather than building trusts, avoid taxes and ship jobs to Mexico. Globalisation is under fire: free trade is less popular in the United States than in any other developed country, and a nation built on immigrants is building a fence to keep them out. People mutter about nation-building beginning at home: why, many wonder, should American children do worse at reading than Polish ones and at maths than Lithuanians?

The dragon’s breath on your shoulder

Abroad, America has spent vast amounts of blood and treasure, to little purpose. In Iraq, finding an acceptable exit will look like success; Afghanistan is slipping. America’s claim to be a beacon of freedom in a dark world has been dimmed by Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib and the flouting of the Geneva Conventions amid the panicky “unipolar” posturing in the aftermath of September 11th.

Now the world seems very multipolar. Europeans no longer worry about American ascendancy. The French, some say, understood the Arab world rather better than the neoconservatives did. Russia, the Gulf Arabs and the rising powers of Asia scoff openly at the Washington consensus. China in particular spooks America—and may do so even more over the next few weeks of Olympic medal-gathering. Americans are discussing the rise of China and their consequent relative decline; measuring when China’s economy will be bigger and counting its missiles and submarines has become a popular pastime in Washington. A few years ago, no politician would have been seen with a book called “The Post-American World”. Mr Obama has been conspicuously reading Fareed Zakaria’s recent volume.

America has got into funks before now. In the 1950s it went into a Sputnik-driven spin about Soviet power; in the 1970s there was Watergate, Vietnam and the oil shocks; in the late 1980s Japan seemed to be buying up America. Each time, the United States rebounded, because the country is good at fixing itself. Just as American capitalism allows companies to die, and to be created, quickly, so its political system reacts fast. In Europe, political leaders emerge slowly, through party hierarchies; in America, the primaries permit inspirational unknowns to burst into the public consciousness from nowhere.

Still, countries, like people, behave dangerously when their mood turns dark. If America fails to distinguish between what it needs to change and what it needs to accept, it risks hurting not just allies and trading partners, but also itself.

The Asian scapegoat

There are certainly areas where change is needed. The credit crunch is in part the consequence of a flawed regulatory system. Lax monetary policy allowed Americans to build up debts and fuelled a housing bubble that had to burst eventually. Lessons need to be learnt from both of those mistakes; as they do from widespread concerns about the state of education and health care. Over-unionised and unaccountable, America’s school system needs the same sort of competition that makes its universities the envy of the world. American health care, which manages to be the most expensive on the planet even though it fails properly to care for the tens of millions of people, badly needs reform.

There have been plenty of mistakes abroad, too. Waging a war on terror was always going to be like pinning jelly to a wall. As for Guantánamo Bay, it is the most profoundly un-American place on the planet: rejoice when it is shut.

In such areas America is already showing its genius for reinvention. Both the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates promise to close Guantánamo. As his second term ticks down, even Mr Bush has begun to see the limits of unilateralism. Instead of just denouncing and threatening the “axis of evil” he is working more closely with allies (and non-allies) in Asia to calm down North Korea. For the first time he has just let American officials join in the negotiations with Iran about its fishy nuclear programme.

That America is beginning to correct its mistakes is good; and there’s plenty more of that to be done. But one source of angst demands a change in attitude rather than a drive to restore the status quo: America’s relative decline, especially compared with Asia in general and China in particular.

The economic gap between America and a rising Asia has certainly narrowed; but worrying about it is wrong for two reasons. First, even at its present growth rate, China’s GDP will take a quarter of a century to catch up with America’s; and the internal tensions that China’s rapidly changing economy has caused may well lead it to stumble before then. Second, even if Asia’s rise continues unabated, it is wrong—and profoundly unAmerican—to regard this as a problem. Economic growth, like trade, is not a zero-sum game. The faster China and India grow, the more American goods they buy. And they are booming largely because they have adopted America’s ideas. America should regard their success as a tribute, not a threat, and celebrate in it.

Many Americans, unfortunately, are unwilling to do so. Politicians seeking a scapegoat for America’s self-made problems too often point the finger at the growing power of once-poor countries, accusing them of stealing American jobs and objecting when they try to buy American companies. But if America reacts by turning in on itself—raising trade barriers and rejecting foreign investors—it risks exacerbating the economic troubles that lie behind its current funk.

Everybody goes through bad times. Some learn from the problems they have caused themselves, and come back stronger. Some blame others, lash out and damage themselves further. America has had the wisdom to take the first course many times before. Let’s hope it does so again.

QQ for Linux正式发布

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 17:05:38 GMT

中国开源社区的一件大事，应该就是7月31号腾讯官方发布了QQ的Linux版本。
这么多年来，Linux一直无法普及的原因之一，就是缺乏很多人们已经在Windows上使用习惯了的，或者必不可缺的软件。正是这样，微软才可以如此的为所欲为，在中国一边卖价格高得离谱的正版Windows软件，一边还指责我们使用盗版。为此，我们看到世界各地无数的开源爱好者，在Linux上自行开发了很多常用软件，希望能吸引更多的用户。但是，仅仅依靠开源社区的努力是远远不够的。
不过我们欣慰的看到，腾讯今天也站出来了。虽然QQ的Linux版本还十分的简陋，只能做一些简单的通信，但是至少是向Linux迈出了第一步。

运行在Fedora 8 下：

可以选择各种颜色风格，但是不能传文件，不得不说还是很遗憾。

不过除了腾讯，开源社区还有强大的google，一直不断的将自己的软件在Linux上发行。这也正符合了google一切“免费”的精神。

很好很强大的3D特效

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:02:53 GMT

下面来介绍几款可以实现3D特效的软件或操作系统：

1. Linux

开源社区的力量真的是无比强大，连Microsoft都不敢忽视（不过微软总是以无端状告Linux侵犯其某项专利来解决问题）。Linux下的特效可谓是多姿多彩，最重要的是它们稳定，开源并且绝对免费! 下面是在Ubuntu发行版中的3D特效。

这张是网上找的极具中国风的桌面水波效果

再发几张别人的

2. Project Looking Glass

Project Looking Glass是由SUN开发的基于Java的3D效果软件。由于它是在Java基础上开发的，理论上支持所有操作系统平台。

3. Real DeskTop

Read DeskTop,顾名思义，就是真正的3D桌面。这个软件突破了传统桌面的概念（准确的说应该是微软桌面的概念），而呈现了一个真实的桌面（一个真正的桌子）。谁说桌面不该这样呢？

4. 3DNA

如果前面的都不算什么，那么下面这个一定让你满意。不过我甚至怀疑它还是不是“桌面”，或者是 -- 房子？

正对着的是工作区

点击OPTION，就会有菜单升起。

按左键往屋里走，可以看到浏览区

再往左，转到背后，就是媒体区

回到工作区，顺着梯子上二楼，直接进入篮球场，一个内置的游戏。

楼上大厅，可以悬挂图片

从二楼可以直接看到工作区

哈哈，楼上楼下，是不是有家的感觉。

life reset

不经意间，又过了一个星期了了。离被学校赶出来的时间不远了，离被公司赶回学校的时间也不远了。

忙完了毕业设计，不习惯的清静下来，仿佛生活中的所有变量都累加到了最大值，接着被无情的清零 --- 系统管理员说，这是一次新的开始。

每天早起上班，还是需要充实的生活。

最真实的加菲猫

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 06:07:32 GMT

无意间又翻出了加菲猫的漫画书。

一只爱说风凉话、贪睡、狂饮咖啡、大嚼意大利面、见蜘蛛就扁，见邮差就穷追猛打的大肥猫。他爱看电视，痛恨星期一，讨厌看到小狗欧迪的低级趣味，也最不能忍受主人乔恩把它当作一只猫。他宁可大吃大喝也不做运动，即使胖到肚子太大，连脚都不能着地的时候。所有的这一切，都使加菲猫永远不能像汤姆猫和杰利鼠那样成为人们的偶像。可偏偏人们还是不遗余力的喜欢他，因为人们往往认为，加菲猫就是他们最真实的自己。如果不是为了吃早饭，加菲猫可以就这么睡一天，还有比这更人性，更真实的吗？但他也不是一味出言不逊，讽刺别人。他也有温柔的一面，他真心的爱自己的小熊布奇，在内心最深处，他也爱他的主人乔恩和呆狗欧迪。当然他最爱的还是他自己。

希望有一天，我也能像加菲猫一样真实的活着。

开源电影 - Big Buck Bunny

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 10:14:46 GMT

免费的开源时代看来锐不可当了。完成了软件的开源，操作系统的开源，甚至是CPU代码的开源，现在又开始进军电影动画的领地了。

Peach (peach.blender.org) 是以开源的3D制作软件Blender为制作工具的一个开源电影开发团队。开源电影是指利用开源软件制作的免费电影，立足于展示开源社区的力量。

现在peach团队已经隆重的献上了最新的开源动画片---Big Buck Bunny.简述一只大公兔Bunny的搞怪故事。

最新的电影可以在 http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/ 下载。

好好活着

Sat, 24 May 2008 18:21:34 GMT

北川封城了，在解放军的带领下，幸存的灾民离开了他们几代人，甚至十几代人生活的土地。接下来要去哪里，他们不知道。地震的痛，还在持续，失去土地的他们，不知道将来要怎么活下去。

2008年5月12日下午2点28分，一场无情了地震，夺走了数万人生命，造成了数千万的灾民，500多万人无家可归。这是人类历史上除了战争外，地球上出现的最惨痛的受灾情况。世代在天府之国辛勤劳作的人们，我们长期饱受贫困，受尽欺辱，却还要受这样的痛。

灾难中，还有无数伟大的无名英雄，他们是人民子弟兵。他们很多也是只有20多岁，却要冒着生命危险，亲赴灾区最前线，目睹灾难后的满目疮痍，见证无数生命的奇迹，也同时亲历更多生命的绝望。

大痛之后，其实才知道，最好的幸福只是需要和心爱的人，执子之手，与子偕老而已。

好好活着，才是最好的.

向不幸罹难的乡亲报以最沉痛的悼念。

向英勇无私的人民子弟兵致以最崇高的敬意!

让时间停止3分钟

Mon, 19 May 2008 14:26:10 GMT

从来没有一次灾难来的如此的近，如此的真实，甚至和我的生活融成了一部分。海啸，台风，雪灾，这些以前只是在电视机中看到的可怕场景，今天却近在咫尺，并让我不得不为自己能保全性命而感到无比宽慰和感激。

今天，让时间停止3分钟，悼念那些不幸的罹难者。

今天大家都上班了

Fri, 16 May 2008 08:27:21 GMT

根据成都市政府第5号公告，全市今天开始恢复上班和生产。不过我们公司要下周一开始上班，说是要派专家来检查下办公楼有没有问题（看来生在地震大国的日本人对这些事情的处理还是很谨慎的）。再加上公司的液晶显示器基本都摔坏了，应该要花时间来清理现场还有买新的设备。

我才发现自己这么怕死，都不敢一个人在家里呆着（6楼）。中午“冒死”到寝室“慰问灾民”，结果我们班的人基本全都在。看着大无畏的集电一班的兄弟们，我也豁出去了，跑到8楼的寝室坐下，相互交流下地震发生时那激动人心的经历。结果没坐多久，又开始有余震（8楼的震感那是相当的刺激啊）。我本想撒腿就跑，可是觉得这一跑岂不是把我在集电一班长期树立起来的光辉形象付之一炬。所以说再怎么也要稳住，逃命也要有风度的逃。

后来听同学说我们学校的通信楼光荣的开裂了，于是说想去看下（哈哈，其实早想溜之大吉）。通信楼果然损失惨重，楼体外面直接裂了一圈，怪不得我们学校要周一才开课。

【照片转至校内网好友】没有找到背面的照片，背面更明显。

顺便说下，电子科大第五大道的良木緣环境不错，2楼有个露天平台可以坐，比较适合我这种胆子小的人。

我们都捡了一条命

Fri, 16 May 2008 07:58:22 GMT

想不到成都离震心(epicenter,今天新学的单词）只有不到100公里，专家都说由于成都不在地震带，加上一系列特殊的原因，成都才侥幸（专家应该不会用这个词）免于灾难。现在电视都24小时直播灾情，国外好多网站媒体也都是头版新闻，可想震区的灾情有多么的严重。再想想，成都离震心真的就不到100公里，只有到重庆1/3的距离，我们成都人都捡了一条命活着。

昨天去捐赠现场去，好多的人，排了好长的队。看来“捡了一条命”的成都人真的是豁出去了，能捐多少就捐多少，捐完了回家麻将照打，日子照过。（只要不叫我们捐麻将就行）

伟大的成都小市民！

有妈妈的朋友从绵竹回来，说那里的灾情比媒体报道的严重得多，很多灾民集中地连碗都没有，煮的稀饭就倒在一张纸上吃，也没有菜，能填饱肚子就行了。

以后不能随便乱说话

Fri, 16 May 2008 07:43:19 GMT

地震发生前，我正在和一个同事讨论说最近好累啊，好想放半天假，可惜又找不到好的理由，看来只有请假扣工资了，没想到话音未落，就感觉明显的振动。同事反应异常的快（不知道他以前是不是有过痛苦的经历），大喊地震了，然后叫我快跑。我也才发现原来自己是这么的怕死，就在手边上的手机钱包都没有想到要拿，就马上夺门而出。刚开始还不是很紧张，一路也都是小跑，还一边跑一边和同事争论是应该躲到厕所里还是应该跑到楼下去。正聊得起劲，突然发现周围很多地方都开始掉石灰了，还看到有地方似乎在开裂（后来证明真的是开裂了），才觉得事态严重了。（哈哈，让我想到苏轼的词 -- “谈笑间，樯橹灰飞烟灭”）。赶快加速跑，越跑越紧张，前面人又堵着跑不动，真的觉得可能这次要Game Over了。不知跑了多久，终于还是跑出来了。后来得知公司有人跑的时候被掉下来的东西砸伤了，想起来真的感到后怕。

下来后老大立刻组织清理人数，然后马上说先放假两天，周四再听通知。同事听了，小声凑过来说：以后还是不要乱说话的好。

原来高科技就在身边

Fri, 09 May 2008 16:09:14 GMT

坐在我旁边的家伙今天突然拿出了一套看似很高科技的电路装置，细问之，果然很科技----一个带GPRS功能的远程控制器。

它由微处理控制模块和GPRS模块组成，GPRS模块可以插入手机SIM卡，通过收发手机短信，将我们远程发送的短信信息，解码后送到控制模块的微处理器，从而控制周边的装置。我们可以在家里安装，以后回家前就可以先发短信将家里的空调打开，或者离开时也可以随时监测家中家用电器的状况。即使是出门老是忘记冲厕所也不用怕（有些人就有这样的苦恼，哈哈哈！！），一个短信就搞定！

前段时间我还一直觉得我家里那台可以通过发送电子邮件控制的电脑已经很不错了，哎，看来人家的更厉害。原来高科技真的就在我身边。

中国威胁论在升级

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:31:40 GMT

当我看到铺天盖地的抵制Carrefour的倡议，我知道，此时在地球的另一个地方，中国威胁论正在升级。

法国这个上世纪最风光的国家，发动一系列战争来达到资本原始积累的目的。他们烧掉我们的圆明园（当然还有英国人的“功劳”），抢了我们的金银财宝，来构筑他们今天引以为傲的民主社会。

今天，我们中国人靠自己勤劳的双手，在世界各地打拼，为振兴中国奋斗。而浪漫的法国人已经被“胜利”冲昏了头脑。他们只知道罢工，最后拖垮了自己的GDP，连锐意改革的Sarkozy也频频遭到左派和工会的阻挠，在执政一年除了自己的婚姻，其他地方几乎没有什么可以拿来给媒体谈的。（果然是浪漫的法兰西）

现在他们看到我们强大了，不能面对来自中国各方面巨大的竞争压力，在次贷风暴，雪灾，股市，反华的压力下，我们第一季的GDP也只同比下降了1个百分点。他们看到勤劳，善良，勇敢的中国人来了，觉得要做点什么，可是他们发现自己什么都不会了，只知道游行，抗议，或者干脆动粗。可怜的法国人，让中国人看了多大的一个笑话。法国人，我们不怪你们，我们理解你们的心情，你们是应该为中国崛起而感到害怕和颤抖。不过我们保证今后一定不会烧了你们的卢浮宫，我们中国人都是有良心的，你说哪个有良心的人会这么做呢？是吧。

Carrefour的抵制活动还在升温，不知道明天家乐福会不会联手北京奥运拍一个广告来洗脱自己。不过此时，我们的本土天王 --- 红旗连锁，应该是在暗喜了。

It's a new day

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 17:42:42 GMT

阳光的早晨，再没有项目的喧扰，新的一天，新的一星期。

终于完成了人生的第一个“真枪实弹”的项目，真是感觉如释重负，从今天起，再也不要连续的加班，再也不要频繁的开会，再也不要review的时候费尽心思的去理解日本人折磨人的英语^_^

不过从这周开始，我又要全身心的投入到我的毕业设计中去（不过现在做为富士通成都唯一几个“有经验”的工程师之一，应该也会不时帮下个项目做些cross check，哈哈！想不到我也有今天!狂喜...）。有很多有趣的事情要做，有很多奇妙的创意要尝试，真是迫不及待。

我的技术人生又到了另一个新的一个起点，让我们用全新的状态去面对。

Lenovo Back

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:14:24 GMT

虽然联想一直想要国际化，他并购了IBM PC业务，把总部搬到了美国，在日本大和设立了强大的研发中心……但长久以来，联想还是只能靠在中国的业务苦苦维持。

不过，2008年3月8日这一天，联想，彻底改变了自己的历史。在北京的首发会上，他又带回了那个昔日至尊的品牌 ---- Thankpad X300。

还是那种公认的“笨拙”的外型，一如既往的黑色，但是重量足足减少到了1.33公斤，最薄之处只有18.6毫米，比乔布斯发明的那个连网卡和光驱都没有的概念产品MacBook Air还要好和实用。

前不久有个朋友给我说，联想现在强推低价电脑，马上就要变成第二个神舟了。不过现在看来，联想，他似乎又回来了。

Tape Out Day

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:47:02 GMT

April, the 12th, 2008. On this particular Friday, we finally come to the day to tape out (send design for fabrication) our very first project.

I thought I should be very exciting then, but I do feel very anxious at the very end, expecially Felix has sent the last email telling that we would send the finalised data to Japan Fab in 1 hour and enquiring whether there were still some problems.

And then, at 5 o'clock pm, everything is done, and my first project is closed in that way. For the rest of the days, we just wait and praise for the real chip work out successfully.

Weekend again

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:03:30 GMT

I think I should say something at this moment, since it is weekend again.

Just realizing only 2 more weeks left before we finally tape out, at this very important stage, I am especially feeling much more afraid of making mistakes than even.

Every day I saw Felix pretended to be calm and confident, I could feel that he may also be quite anxious about this. Definitely he can not afford any failure in his first completely full-in-charge project in Fujitsu Chengdu Design Center. However, he is not alone. He may not know, but I take this project very much indeed serious as well. I do not want to tell others that my first real design in my life and career has collapsed. So I work harder and harder, over time every day without any complaint, and tried my best to understand every detail of our design and test methodology. I can not afford any mistakes too.

It is weekend again. But for me at this moment, it makes no sense. The verification is not complete and I have to go back working tomorrow.

Just hope everything goes fine!

Everything re-do

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 15:22:21 GMT

This really happens!

Nearly 3 o’clock afternoon, without any one have expected, Felix happened to send a email, telling that we should modify some IO macros and re-do the top level connection. God! This would mean that we have to re-do nearly everything from design specification, whole simulation to synthesis and layout. Especially at this time, when we have just received the final SDF file from layout group at 2 o’clock and happily intended to start post simulation, the unexpected bad news came.

Overtime working again! Hope there would not be so many troubles.

Work over time

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 04:46:42 GMT

When I finish this blog, I then have to go back to Fujitsu to work overtime. Recently, working overtime becomes so normal, but this is the first that I have to work overtime at weekend, since I have to hand in my task on next Monday. I have promised that I would never work overtime on weekend, but now I have to break my work, since the project is really busy.

I still remember when I have just begun working intern in Fujitsu, I felt that working overtime is really fun, which made me feel that I was doing something worthy. Maybe I had got used to self-study at night at school. However, things here are quite different from those at school. Working is much more tired than learning, and there is always some pressure, especially when I could not make progress in my task.

……

Ok, time’s up, continue later.
