    Why 24 hours a day?

    9:30, I sipped a bit of cappuccino and waited for the caffeine to kick in.

    This is usually how I started my daily work. A bit sorry cause without coffee I can also stay focused, the fluid is nothing but a rountine. Anyway, there's always so much to do and so little time. I really wish be granted more than just a mere 24 hours a day.

    Enough babbling, gotta get back to work. Tonight's topic is Bretton Woods System... what a bore!

    Raysource Robot 1.0 beta version released!

    This time I wrote a tool to download rayfile resources on office computer while having a meeting with a laptop...

    The program comes in a bundle. Client side and server side.

    RaySourceRobot2   RaySourceRobot3 
    Client                             Server

    RaySourceRobot1 
    Client Interface

    Raysource 机器人 1.0 公测版发布

    这个软件可以让你在开会的时候或者在家时向在单位的电脑发送下载链接下载Rayfile.com的资源。这些资源可以在www.fs2you.com上找到。如果你家里的带宽很低,但是单位电脑下载很快,不妨试试这个工具。如果你的办公室多人共享一台电脑,你不得不带着小laptop组蓝牙局域网,那么你也可以试用这个软件。这样当别人占着电脑时,你也可以用自己的laptop发送下载链接到被占的电脑上在后台开始下载 :)

    使用说明:(In English, learn it if you don't read it)
    -----------------

    This tool helps you download rayfile.com resources remotely. It's developed using E language, therefore anti-virus software like Rising
    will alarm you while more competent programs like Nod32, Kapersky, Norton will not.

    Requirement
    --------------
    The software is intended to be used in a computer network. Lan/Internet is required.

    Two computers are needed for the program to function. One server, one client.

    How to use
    --------------
    The software is green, there's no installation of any kind. Please make sure you have latest version of raysource file installed on the server computer.

    1. install latest raysource client (www.rayfile.com) on the server computer.
    2. copy RaySourceRobotSrv.exe to the server and run it.
    3. copy RaySourceRobotClient.exe and ip.cfg to the client computer.
    4. run RaySourceRobotClient.exe from the client computer.

    5. start browsing, once you reached rayfile downloading page, copy the fs2you://... URL (right click on the first "download" and then click 'copy shortcut'. The client will retrieve the URL from clipboard.

    6. click 'download' button, a popup window will tell you if server download has successfully started.(Before that make sure you've filled in the correct server IP)

    Application Example
    --------------------
    For instance, by using this tool, I can send downloading command of a large file to my office computer which has 2m/s downloading speed. Next day I only need to bring a portable harddisk and copy it from the office computer.

    Another application is when you're in an office where 20 plus people share 4 computers. You may bring your own laptop and hook it up with one of those office computers using bluetooth. Then send downloading command from the laptop while someone else is at the office computer.

    The software is free, you may modify, distribute it as you wish.

    Notes:

    The software is pretty loosely written, especially the serverside. In coding, I also considered other possibilities of the program, such as making the serverside able to read from internet a list of URLs and start download automaticlly. This is helpful when most of the ports other than the 80 port are blocked.

    崔斯特语录

    怀旧的愁绪可能是我们所告诉自己的谎言中最大的。它是拿美化了的过去当标准,来情绪性地看现在。对有些人而言,它可以给我们带来某种程度的安慰,让我们重新感受自己与自己的根源。但是我担心对大部份其他的人来说,这只会让他们扭曲了记忆,并且因此对周遭的现实浑然不觉。
      我怀疑有多少人在渴望“当年更单纯,并且更美好的世界”。他们从来没有看出事实上是他们自己当年更单纯,更美好,而不是这个世界!
        这看来似乎没道理,但我依照我多年来所看到的,大部份的人都抗拒变革,因为短命的人类当中有许多都已经过了他们最强壮并且最健康的年龄,他们认为自己的黄金岁月已经逝去,要他们接受任何变革似乎都不是易事。不,他们当中有许多人都紧紧抓着过去,那时世界“既单纯又美好。”他们个人恨恶变革,就好像任何的进步发展都为他们本身的失败打上了强光灯,让人都能看见。
      也许事实就是如此。也许这是我们最根本的恐惧之一,来自于愚蠢的自傲,害怕孩子们知道的比我们更多。在这么多人试着教训孩子们品行的同时,他们内心是否有着深深的恐惧,害怕孩子们看出父母本身的错误?
        我相信怀旧的愁绪是必要的东西,让我们能够在以往的成功和失败中找到内心的平静。但如果这样的情绪让我们做出一些行动,想要恢复那个已经被记忆扭曲、刻意涂上玫瑰色彩的年代,特别是当一个人认为他的一生是失败的,那么这就什么也不是,注定只会造成更大的挫折感。

    我会对这段话产生同感,是否意味着我事业野心的逐渐觉醒?The world will never change until the old men die?

    Stop Talking, Start Doing 停止空谈,马上行动

    IBM的新广告词真的很棒,中国人就需要这样的态度。天马行空开罗圈会是个人就会,只有高效执行才能改变环境。说一百句不如做一件事能提高个人劳动效率。
