Dec 05死期以前
我发呆, 我念书 | | Shout (0)
考完,挂掉,生活就这么简单。有人回家了,有人度假了,而我在圣诞前有一个deadline。deadline的中文直译是死期吧?死期以前,我有话要说。
因为我又开始想象自由度很小的生活,比如久违的图书馆和认真深刻地思考一些问题。因为我把这学期的课程上得很猥琐,一事无成。当然我的生活有了不一样的色彩,我看我爱看的书,做我爱做的事,有时我的英语变得很流利,同时我希望自己现在的工作会是个好的科研开端。只是我还不习惯。所以下次会更好。
这两天学校该撤空了。每天晚上我都看到路边的草坪有圣诞的闪光。彩灯,安静的木头小鹿还有圣诞树。在这些寒冷的夜晚我清楚地感受到自己的存在。我骄傲地站在此刻,藐视我的过去和未来。

Aug 05PhD
我念书 | | Shout (0)
PhD: Piled Higher & Deeper
Top four reasons to buy the PhD books:
1) All the strips you love, handsomely printed in two high-quality bound volumes
2) Buy them as gifts for your friends and family (“see? this is what I go through!”) or buy them for your labmates (delay their thesis progress)
3) Advisor: “So, what have you been doing lately?”
You: “Well, I’ve been reading some books about research…”
4) Don’t you stare at the computer long enough already?

Aug 05我的心情是多么豪迈
我念书 | | Shout (0)
见老板归来。现在对我基本毫无要求,我说我写完了可效果不够好,老板惊叹,这么快,我还以为你paper还没看完——听到这里,我还是很豪迈的,嘿嘿,俺已经都做啦。刚准备做谦虚状,老板又说,但我想了想,决定不做那个了,还是换样东西做做。
-______-
所以,又换了。这次将用一种我不懂的技术做一个我不懂的东西。大哥大姐,我会挂的。可不管怎样,我还是豪迈地走出了办公室。下午四点半,风清云淡。这是礼拜五,我的stereo system刚刚寄到,我要从Champaign搬去Urbana,我的juggling练成了3个球。
我的暑假还没完,还有许多个悠长的下午在等我。

Aug 05August is annoying, really annoying
我念书 | | Shout (0)
加了robust regressors和gaussian fall-off,效果还是不理想。memory mapping用不了。准备把部分代码转成C++,这样就能做最后一层的multi-scale。哎,到时候只能发扬死zhu不怕开水tang的精神去见老板了。
今天开心的是拿到了beanbags,玩儿了一把,遂作找到感觉状。于是又看本DVD。这毕竟是暑假啊,做不了图形青年,还可以做个杂耍青年。但一定要抓紧,再过两年,我连个青年也做不成了。

Aug 05mission (im)possible for today
我念书 | | Shout (0)
1. add robust regressors;
2. gradient-based: solve a linear system / Poisson equation;
3. try to find a machine with RAM >= 1GB. I have 100 * 100 datapoints each of dimension 3072, sigh;
4. save mixture trees into separate files for each example;
5. juggling! my beanbags are coming this afternoon.

Jul 05We love to C-U
剩下的, 我念书 | | Shout (0)
今天把我的傻瓜相机带出来兜兜风,拍了传说中的香槟2号迷你公园,其实只有一块草坪一陀花一面墙壁而已,猥琐至极。墙壁上的图案如下,名为We love to C-U。这个做得倒还不赖,起码让我会心一笑。我绝对见过更傻的,比如浙大附近三岔路口的大幅招贴画,领导人对着西湖全景呵呵傻笑。字样不是杭州人民爱杭州,而是”一定要把天堂建设好”和”发展问题归根结底是人口问题”之类令人面红耳赤的名言。不管怎样,城里有了这些总归活泼生动了点。
最后把照片拼起来,嘿嘿,这不就是一个vision的小作业么?一个projective transformation,搞定。当然我的程序还要手动找点,就不献丑了,用现成的喽。
