Trip to Seattle


It’s been a long time since I have returned from Seattle, but I have just been very lazy recently. Well that’s my first conference trip, and I am really enjoy it, at least that’s one nice thing about doing PhD or research (going to different nice places and meet different brilliant people).

Seattle is a quiet place, it rains a lot. At least rains a lot during the week I was there. Below is the hotel I live.

Last day at Microsoft Research Asia


Well, today is my last day at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA). It has been 3 months, 3 months of hard work, 3 months of really hard work. This  afternoon I stopped work to have some fun, surfing the net. I have to say having some relief after hard work is soooo enjoyable… I’ll post some pictures later in this post… enjoy :)

Update (21/04/2009): I don’t believe that it took this long (5 months) to upload the photos. Well, all I can say is better very late than never ever…

Windows Live Search Chinese New Year theme


The Microsoft STC team has the 1st Windows Live Search with the Chinese Spring Festival background image (a little bit earlier than expected though). You can move your mouse over the 4 hotspots and click the links. Start from today, there will be 30 different images showing great Chinese landmarks, celebration of Chinese New Year.

There is also one site that is special for the 2009 Chinese New Year, looks quite good. It also shows the traffic information for annual “Chun Yun” (春运). Please follow this link (http://2009.cj.live.com/), if you’re interested :)

Below is a screen shot of the Chinese New Year themed Live search.
