The Animatrix

Diary
[]
02[.]11[.]2003

I read "The Now Habit". I experienced the emotional 
downs yesterday again. But after 8 hours of sleep, 
my mind is much clearer now and can [has] start[ed] 
to work again, thank God J! 

05072003

just read animatrix, very deeply

One month ago, I had to construct a circuit to 
control the remote car. I was nervous and confused. 
I didn't know where to start. 
[]
    (I had told Ng zh ho and Chris Lau 
my nervousness on the Electronics.)
[]
    One cause of my nervous[ness] is due to 
the failure of the signal generator project 
in Year 1 Basic Electronics. And the cause 
of the failure, as I have found now, 
is that I am timid. The thing itself was not 
and is not difficult. It is my timidity, 
my indecision, and [my] inaction [that] 
make every simple thing difficult. 

(I have made my circuit work today, or tonight.)

Thank Spacetime!

When you are good, don't think that you are very good; 
when you are bad, don't think that you are very bad. 

"You must first jump, so that while you are falling, 
you can create your wings."

Rather than hoping things become easier, 
why not make yourself stronger and tougher?  

Emerson 
What we persist doing becomes easier, 
not because the thing itself is easier, 
but because our capacity has increased. 

80 20 principle 

One way to build up your faith is to spend time with 
somebody who truly believe in you. And the important 
thing is that be that person to others; also, be that 
person to yourself.

NotesOrganization

"A real person has two reasons for doing anything... 
a good reason and the real reason."

… 

One today worths two tomorrows.

Do one thing well. Do exactly what a customer wants, 
nothing more, nothing less. 

You can't solve all the problems. You can't satisfy 
all the people.

Constructive laziness is one of the cardinal virtues 
of a master programmer.

"such a final theory must be concerned not with fields, 
not even with spacetime, but rather with information 
exchange among physical processes."

…

A good scientist is a person with original ideas. 
A good engineer is a person who makes a design 
that works with as few original ideas as possible. 
There are no prima donnas in engineering. 
-- Freeman Dyson

"There are two kinds of researchers: 
those that have implemented something and 
those that have not. The latter will tell you that 
there are 142 ways of doing things and that 
there isn't consensus on which is best.  
The former will simply tell you that 141 of them 
don't work."

In the beginning of the optical fiber research, 
there were a lot of difficulties. But I thought if 
[I succeeded], the research payoff would be huge, 
because it could create a whole new world.

Powermaster Optimus Prime


18[.]06[.]2003

Diary: [W]hen I teach taught [E]rg maths, I have had new 
ideas[. B]ut I have no new ideas in research now. 

09[.]07[.]2003

Yesterday, I went to Shatin [T]oys[R][U]s to buy a 
[robot] model for brother. But finally, I saw a 
[PowerMaster] Opimus [P]rime which I wanted to buy when 
I was small. 

Consider [whether to buy or not] for several some 
moment. [And then bought it.]

[.]

At home, we discovered that the small person-robot had 
been stolen. 

[So s]uddenly, I gave up my happiness. 

Luckily, after playing the robot with brother, instead 
of blaming me for not buying a model for him to 
construct, he loved the robot. I was very happy too as 
I discussed "the Transformers generation one" with him.

To edit Lazarus code in Emacs:

1. Open Emacs’ initialization file, whose location should be

~/.emacs

2. Add the follwing code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

(defmacro compile-with (command-string)

  `(progn

    (save-buffer)

    (unless visual-line-mode
      (visual-line-mode 1))

    (universal-argument)

    (compile ,command-string)))

(defmacro defcomp (fn command-string kbd-string)

  `(progn

     (defun ,fn ()

       (interactive)

       (compile-with ,command-string))

     (global-set-key (kbd ,kbd-string) ',fn)))

A big scratch on the door

One of Intel’s top executives once told me that he finally understood how things had changed in microprocessor business when someone asked him if he would accept delivery on an expensive new automobile if it was in perfect condition except for a big scratch on the door. After all, the car would deliver the same fuel economy, same performance, same cargo capacity, same expected service lifetime. But no, he paid for a perfect product, and that’s what he expected.
