Science and Religion

Science: A process of telling you that the relation between two sets.
Religion: A history of telling you that the relation between one set and the real world.

I can't see any conflict between Science and Religion.

"To save your time in writing, I suggest letting me draft the paper"

唉... 我寫得太偏激啦......

其實我點解成日都咁阿叔既呢? baby都成日咁話我, ar kay都會咁話我, newgroups我又成日得罪人, 家下豬陳改paper都次次忙住去cut住我d偏激說話, 死啦... 點解Kitkit咁既....

終於 results = expectation

唉... 終於... 嘩... 記得上個week, 一見到幅圖出d好expected既reults, baby係我身邊, 我成個彈起咁, 好開心, 結果原來寫錯programs... 今次唔敢又咁大反應啦, 況而唉... 睇化d好d既, 好outcome唔好outcome, 結果咪又係幾幅graphs~

可以寫paper啦~~~ 嘩... 真係等到頸得長. 老細話我都係張以前果份paper submit去ICON2007, 好!! 聽日改好個intro先!! 要submit呀!

Research paper = 自己既日記
咁樣諗先致係正路. 要想寫d好既research papers, 首先就要鐘意寫日記.
日記 = 唔expect會有人睇既essays.

How to ruin your research

  • When you meet with a famous professor, you "share" with him/her your works, efforts, outcomes, papers, plots, program codes, logs, drafts, sketches, photos, experimental equipments, ... (endless)
  • After 6 months of stressed, being hopeless, and exhausted, finally you find the best outcomes you have ever seen. So you go to your advisor's room and start to tell your story ... for 6 hours.
  • Your most appreciated peer appreciates your idea, so you "discuss" your research progress with him/her ... for an hour ... everyday.
  • You solved the ultimate problem that no one can solve, so you start to teach everyone your solution.

Remember, no one is interested in your research exactly. This is why you still can do something on it. When someone ask you "what are you doing with your research?". Do be tempted. I tell them two words: "Internet modeling". That's enough, and they will feel interesting!

MOVE!! I talk to you reader!!

It's climate change. There are too many CO2 in the air. What does it cause?
  • Arctic Ice will be melt completely by 2020, which 30 years ahead of predicted. Sea level rises, and hotter winters;
  • Causes more hunger in Africa and melt most Himalayan glaciers by the 2030s;
  • Bangkok will go 50 centimeters to one meter under water in 20 years, because of melting ice.
  • More heat waves and rising seas, and stronger storms.

We have to fix it, because

  • 95% for sure that climate change is cased by man-kind.

We have to react NOW, because

  • stabilizing temperate rise to within 2 degrees is already too late, as CO2 is already too much.

What we can do is to consume lesser and lesser energy, because

  • burning fossil fuels gives the main greenhouse gas.

The most effective but the most costly way to combat climate change is to alter "human behavior" by governmental polices, and so this may not be done sharply. Then why don't we change ourselves NOW?! We have to tell our governments that we CAN use less energy.

REACT NOW!! We still can fix the climate, because

  • only about 0.12 ~ 3.0 GDP would be needed to keep temperature rise within 2 degrees Celsius.

But the cost goes higher if we react later.

Any small steps, small changes, small care of the Earth DO HELP. For example,

  • nearly a billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions avoided globally by 2020 just by screwing in more efficient light bulbs.

Please DO NOT WAIT for any governmental polices, as they may wait for us to change. Avoid the DEAD LOCK!! Keep waiting from both sides can only make things worse.

!!!!!REACT NOW!!!!!

Very interesting projects

I have to learn

  • Next Generation Networks (NGN)
  • IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

What is research?

A way to answer questions careful enough that others have confidence to trust you, even though they are not going to re-do what you did. Or be more precise, it is a way to answer questions detailed enough that others can redo what all you did and still trust you at the end. So simply publishing papers does not qualify to be a research work sufficiently nor necessarily . It all depends on how you do it!

Applied research vs. academic research

Academic research: It's done when colleagues and advisors can start to appreciate.
Applied research: It's done when your mom and kinds can start to appreciate.

Academic research: Excellent when your name goes everywhere, but not your research results.
Applied research: Excellent when your research results go everywhere, but not your name.

Academic research: At worst, your papers never be "citable".
Applied research: At worst, your results never be "publishable".

Academic research: Directing the future technology, with "innovation" in mind.
Applied research: Directing the current technology, with "compatibility" in mind.

Academic research: When find your idea in daily live, you believe your idea is great.
Applied research: When find your idea in daily live, you believe your idea is crashed.

Who says that applied is easier then academic?!

Narrow down to my interest

  • Congestion control, fairness, and QoS
  • Internet topology, traffic and router level characteristics

今日終於爆左出黎

我喊lu

今日Li C.Q.叫我去睇下年半前CCCN人去行山既相, 我見到果時既自己好開心, 咩壓拍感都無咁, Li話我同果陣時比, 而家既我好似老左好多~ 唉... 一有比較, 特別覺得自己而家好痛苦. Wang W.X.同我傾下閒計, 我就又同佢講, 我見到Li d相, 覺得果時既我好開心, .... 然後就忍唔住喊lu...

嚇得大家都靜晒... :P
