what am i doing recently

[boring narrative about my personal life, skip this if (as I suppose) you don't care]

No post for a really long time now...

I decided to summon up enough courage to continue my blog. The thing I came to realize is that, if there is no post today, there won't be tomorrow. So, time for a change!

* I am doing internship now, as this is the last year of my college. I should be out hunting jobs, but I am not, and sitting unhurriedly here at Sun (Sun China Engineering and Research Institute), half hoping that it (Oracle?) will hire me once the acquisition is completed. What we are doing here is on graphics drivers, that is, porting Linux drivers to Solaris (Yeah, it's X/MIT, not GPL). Quite interesting, kernel stuff and involving both Linux and Solaris, but here I will be brief about it.

* Working really make my life different. It consumes a regular and big piece of time everyday, and so changes how you do things and the way life goes by. It changes how you model the expense of food/clothes/everything; "oh that thing is 200 bucks (read kuai/RMB), takes me less than two days' work, so not so expensive" :).

* And time. That's what matters. The whole day is for work now. Everything unrelated, purchasing/exercising/surfing internet, must wait until evenings and weekends . Of course that includes all the open source/fun projects I am (was) in. Time for those is limited now, which is sad.

* My code of the GSoC project is still sitting in the now-silent branch. Maybe bit-rotting. It is sad too and I hope to change the situation.

* I am doing regular exercise/work-out with my classmate and also colleague. It has been more than two months and feels great! Thanks to him.

* It still seems to me a good decision to jump into industry and (at least for now) avoid graduate school. I have learnt a lot ({non-,}technically) here at Sun. And, working makes me think and think differently. Though I realize I have to remind myself of this, as time is so short that sometimes you don't bother to THINK.

* I am waiting for the school to finish, so I can move out (of students' dormitory and the lifeless campus), live on my own and manage my time freely. So promising...

* I finally understand that, this is _my_ blog and I should feel free to write anything. Think too much in the past :)

That's all.
