Originally, I was supposed to manage the office software system at work, but somehow, many people thought my job was similar to that of an internet cafe manager, and they kept dragging me to fix computers. Sigh… Being the new guy, I had no choice but to comply.

At first glance, the phrase “fixing computers” seems simple, but it turns out to be quite challenging. For instance, I recently encountered a series of baffling issues that left me completely clueless. In front of my superiors, I ended up looking quite inexperienced!

When awake, it’s almost impossible to recall the dreams from days before yesterday. Only in the subconscious do we get a chance to remember that “a certain dream once had” indeed occurred.

Previously, I always believed that memories while awake were the most reliable, because upon waking, I could often reconstruct a part of the dream I just had. Moreover, frequently, my dreams could be interrupted and then continued: for example, the time I could remember entering the dream was usually after four or five in the morning, and around seven, I would often be interrupted by my phone alarm. After turning off the phone (in a state of incomplete wakefulness, but able to see the exact time and clearly know whether I should get up at that time), I could continue the unfinished dream.

Today, five professors from Xi’an jointly called for the commutation of Yao Jiaxin’s death sentence. Since the publication of their statement, netizens’ comments have been in an uproar. I understand the professors’ perspective, but I can only say that they might be more suited to living in the United States rather than advocating for the abolition of the death penalty in China.

China does not have the soil for abolishing the death penalty. After all, for thousands of years, the principle of “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” has been considered a natural law, and it remains one of the fundamental principles of Chinese criminal law.

Last Saturday night, around 9 PM, Brother Sheng and I rushed to the Golden Horse Theater and managed to buy the last two returned tickets for “Fast & Furious 5,” and coincidentally, they were in the very center of the theater.

I had only heard of the fame of the “Fast & Furious” series before, but actually watching it might have been something I did after my freshman year. During my freshman year, aside from playing CS, I mainly focused on one game: TMNF (TrackMania Nations Forever), which translates to “TrackMania Nations Forever” in Chinese.

During my spare time at work, I read a book titled “The Character of the Chinese.” If it weren’t for the mention of “strongly recommended by Lu Xun before his death” in the recommendation, I might not have noticed this book.

The original English version can be read on Google Books (the copyright of the original work is now open). If I have time, I plan to read an English original book, not necessarily this one, but I need to find one to practice my English comprehension. Otherwise, I really don’t know what my level of English understanding is. Previously, I only bought an English translation of Plato’s work: “The Republic,” but the ancient English words were too abstract, and I couldn’t understand it.

Blackberry has long been overlooked by domestic giants like Sina and Tencent. The QQ app for Blackberry was once only available through third-party modifications, and the Sina Weibo client for Blackberry was reportedly developed after Blackberry China took the initiative to contact Sina.

However, anyone who has used the Sina client for Blackberry (left image below) can attest to its poor quality and terrible user experience. Using such a client is less efficient than simply using Blackberry’s built-in browser (right image below).

Originally, I didn’t intend to treat this matter as a problem, but sometimes when pushed to the limit, one has to react.

As a seasoned QQ group administrator managing dozens of various QQ groups, the most frequent task I handle is receiving notifications of people joining or leaving groups from the bottom right corner of my desktop, and then approving or rejecting them one by one.

In terms of campus QQ groups, from my sophomore year to now, there are records showing that I have managed 47 QQ groups for students from the classes of 08, 09, and 10 (currently 38). The journey to becoming an administrator varied—some groups I created myself, some were left over from my time managing the school forum, and others were set up because my fellow students thought highly of me.

Since I started using BlackBerry in 2007, I can be regarded as a relatively experienced BlackBerry user in China.

I have always been a player who prefers to play with emerging electronic products, but since the moment I bought a second-hand 7290 at a low price in 2007 due to the explosion of various cups, all this seems to be quietly changing.

A more appropriate description would be: “Since using the BlackBerry, I don’t play with my mobile phone very much, which naturally improves the work efficiency of other activities.”

Why does time always seem to be in short supply lately?

When I want to play games, I find that the campus network is about to be cut off. When I want to read, I realize my eyelids can barely stay open. When I want to eat, I discover the west gate of the school is already closed. And when I want to write a blog post, I can’t seem to find the right direction.

I saw this message on the campus QQ group tonight:

Today, on March 5th, a classmate of our school ** forgot to take out the card after withdrawing money at the China Construction Bank ATM at the headquarters of Foshan University. Contact the bank card person (13695249899) to return the money, and promise not to pursue legal responsibility and keep it confidential. Otherwise, if it is not returned within a week, it will be handled by the police. You will be responsible for the legal responsibility. Don’t leave a criminal record to affect your future! Please help Chuan Chuan, thank you!
