含蓄的张扬

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Mad world, 机缘巧合之下听到这首歌，忽然发现每一个音符都打到内心，这感觉好像水滴滴到荷叶上，却没有那么清澈；好像清风吹动着风铃；却没那么轻快，好像深夜木桩敲着铜钟，却又多了一些深情。正如歌名所说的那样这是一个疯狂的世界，任何一个角落都透露着它的疯狂，它的变态。这是一个不可理喻却又让人无可奈何的世界。
当夕阳斜下，大雁南飞，炊烟袅袅，宠物奔袭，清风拂面，似乎这一切让人觉得生机勃勃的景象都被蒙上死一般的灰色的时候。这个疯狂的世界让冬天变得更加麻木，让秋天变得死气沉沉，让夏天变的让人窒息，让春天变得毫无意义。这是一个不可理喻却又让人无可奈何的世界。
我们不想被某些东西支配，却又逃脱不了魔掌。我们去寻找开心，可笑容里总是伴着苦涩。当大笑声被寂静掩埋的时候，空虚便开始侵占一切。忙碌完了停下来的时候，很多东西都变得没有意义。这是一个不可理喻却又让人无可奈何的世界。
当只有逃避却无路可逃的时候，I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad… 当睡着了脑子还是清醒的时候，I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad… 当梦想死去的那一刻，I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad…
Mad world, mad world…

今天早晨看到的新闻弄得我上班都不得安宁，只好写这篇文章来让心情平静一下。其实也不是什么新闻，是先看到王小峰的博客“果然”之后，才到网上搜罗的各种讯息。基本意思就是“现在南京市政府正在上台一项关于南京大学汉口路拓延的工程，这个工程直接的后果将是把南京大学的标志大门推掉，以及物理楼、图书馆和蒙民伟楼都将消失。” 之后我又浏览了一些网友对这件事的看法。网上还和平日一样混乱，有说该拆的，有说不该拆的。我在此不禁要感叹，居然真的还有支持拆校门的，好像还不少。我不禁要在这里强烈的谴责那些无知的脑瘫们，百年校门怎么就能说拆就拆？一条破路，和标志性的百年校门，孰重孰清难道还分不清楚么。路的修法有很多，怎么样解决交通的方案也数不胜数，我还就真不相信我们祖国的工程师们没有不拆校门的解决方案。省市共同投资的20多个亿最后得出来的结果就是毁灭物价的精神文明瑰宝？？？不只是可笑这么简单。
还记得小时候在呼和浩特市鼓楼长大的我却从来不知道鼓楼是什么样的，妈妈说曾经为了解决交通问题被拆掉了。我想想很气愤，但却可以理解，毕竟发生在中国那个特殊的时期“破四旧”等我们不太熟悉的日子里，加上还没有改革开放，人们思想相对落后，又是少数民族地区。如今，同样的事情居然又发生在南京。难怪“台湾”都会说他们比祖国“大陆”还中国，我们的文化遗产还剩下些什么呢？我们还有什么是值得骄傲的呢？
南大师生是不是应该发扬一下钉子户们的精神呢？我不敢妄加定论，但至少有一点，如今祖国所剩下的文化遗产已经濒临绝种了，请不要为了那点小恩小惠和眼前的利益去扼杀和摧毁了。当你走在澳大利亚的悉尼，这个只有200多年历史的城市的街上，却感觉到他的文化和历史气息比很多中国古老城市的文化气息还要浓重的时候，作为四大文明古国之一，我们应该作何感想？

Windows 7 comes with a new library feature that provides a new type of view of the file system that is tailored to specific content types. This is exactly what I would like to do with my open source project shelfr. I do not know if I should be proud of it because I have [...]

Most of the time I have been asked why I cannot do translations between Chinese and English. Well I can do some basic translations or interpretations, however, when things get complex, I just cannot do it. Well, I guess this is the way of how I learn a new language.
Basically, there are two ways [...]

Mining, and discovering, that’s what I am doing here at Microsoft Research Asia (微软中国研究院). Here i won’t talk about data mining in a technical detail, but hey, I will share a very nice tune with you guys. Apparently, as as a person born in the 80s, I probably do not have any idea of how [...]

Today is my first day as an intern at Microsoft Research Asia at Beijign. Not a very good start since I was about 10 minutes late for the check in process, and also forgot to bring two photos of mine :p . Well, at least things were getting done pretty quick.
Not much to do [...]

Since I was blogging on the msn space, it may be very convenient to just check out updates for new stuff over the live messenger. After this upgrade, to track the updates of my blog, obviously you cannot use the nice live messenger, however you can use one of your favourite rss feed reader. Many [...]
