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…

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.
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 come up with this new idea year ago or I should be sad because shelfr’s progress was so slow that except writing those ideas and specification, I don’t even have time to start writing the code… 
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 on the first day, the orientation starts tomorrow, hopefully I would have some more idea of what I supposed to do and get familiar with the working environment around after the orientation.
