Graduation Thesis - Copyright of Independent Blogs

I admit that my attitude towards learning during university has not been very diligent. However, when it comes to my graduation thesis, I really want to do it well, as it marks the end of my student life.

From the beginning of choosing the topic until now, I have been wavering and wondering whether I should make a significant innovation, either in the topic selection or simply in the content.

Three Words and Two Slaps Speak of Jin Ping

I saw someone online summarizing some methods for memorizing poetry, but I always felt that they didn’t quite match what I remember.

For example, the poem “East, West, Three Waters, Peach Blossoms Red, Officialdom and Confucian Scholars Love Jin Ping. Three Words and Two Slaps Praise the Past and Present, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, History Books, and the Western Chamber Mirror.” In my memory, it goes like this: “East, West, Three Waters, Peach Blossoms Red, Western Chamber, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Peony Pavilion. Past and Present, Eternal Life Mirror, Officialdom and Confucian Scholars, Three Words and Two Slaps Speak of Jin Ping.”

How to Write a Cover Letter?

There are traditionally two ways to apply for a job: attending job fairs and sending out resumes via mail.

Having recently attended several job fairs with unsatisfactory experiences, I have decided to shift my focus to sending out resumes via mail for my next phase of job hunting (I’m not yet confident enough to directly call for job opportunities).

However, a major challenge in sending out resumes via mail is figuring out how to write an effective cover letter.

Why Use Firefox

It’s okay if a man’s first time was with IE; you still have to fall in love.

In fact, many people have carelessly lost their first time and become hopelessly addicted, so there’s no need to worry too much about it.

The beautiful and sexy Opera obviously brings you the sweetest memories of youth, but unfortunately, the gorgeous Opera cannot satisfy all your needs. Her overly conservative nature even sets a series of strict conditions, hoping you will grow old under her rules.

Issues Arising from Missing System Language Encoding and Related Thoughts

In the afternoon, a classmate called me, saying that his computer had a serious problem.

The symptoms are described as follows:

  1. When opening Baidu, Sina, NetEase, Tencent, and other pages in the browser, all display garbled characters;
  2. Under the browser’s View -> Encoding options, only “Left to Right Document” and “Right to Left Document” are available, with various encodings like UTF-8 and GBK missing;
  3. After opening QQ, only two input boxes and selection boxes are visible, and no text is displayed on the entire QQ interface after logging in;
  4. The omnipotent Firefox works normally, with no garbled characters on any websites.

Upon receiving the computer, my first thought was that the encoding files were missing. Since I had no prior experience with such issues, I first checked the language tools in the Control Panel to see if there were any related options or switches, but found nothing.

Shanda Bambook E-Reader

Since the internal testing of Shanda’s Bambook, there has been much discussion about whether Bambook is a product Shanda is hyping up.

Overall, there are several situations:

  1. Among direct users of Bambook, most are satisfied, a few are extremely dissatisfied, and very few are taking a wait-and-see attitude;

  2. On the internet, the voices questioning Bambook far outweigh the praises;

  3. Shanda is determined to promote Bambook with all its might. As a traditional software and gaming service company, it aims to learn from Amazon and establish a benchmark in China’s e-reader market.

A Failed Interview

Looking for a job, looking for a job, I’ve been job hunting recently. Of course, it’s more likely that I’m just scouting the market to make up my mind about what career to pursue before I graduate next year.

To be honest, I’ve never really taken the job search after graduation seriously. In my mind, it never seemed like a stressful or difficult task.

I felt pretty good about myself, but recently, I’ve been facing continuous failures.

11.1 Square Meters Singles' Day

Today is Singles’ Day, but I don’t really feel anything special about it, so I’m not paying much attention.

However, while sorting through a batch of enforcement cases today, I stumbled upon a peculiar number unrelated to Singles’ Day: 11.1 square meters.

What exactly is 11.1 square meters?

7.4 meters x 1.5 meters

I came across an application from the city management requesting the enforcement of a penalty against a street clothing store, with the enforcement amount exceeding twenty thousand yuan.
