Busy than ever

Dear all, now I have great hope to graduate in advance (for half a year). That would be really important for my career and life. It is required that I submit my dissertation at October 15. As a result, I'm busy with it all these days and the following, and I have to cancel all travel plans.

The day before I have prepared to give a lecture on Dr. Su's class on Oct 6, when he will be absent. I have generated a length lecture notes about bioinformatics web services, most of it is summary of my view & understanding about the business. But Dr. Su said there's room to add even more contents, eg, to introduce the DBs that this lab created. I shall put this note on my personal website, free access.

Waiting for interview

As you probably know, I'm near graduation and I'm expecting that to come earlier.

During the time my ``tCalculator'' paper was in revision (and was accepted then, owing to everyone's blessing, thanks!), I was busy looking for postdoctoral position and composing my dissertation. I finally got in touch with one professor in CSHL. She would like to interview me, and it has been arranged in the following days. I hope I can join her group to work on those grand and complicated knowledge systems on crop genomics. That is fancy, really appealing for me.

Readers with good memory should tell that Dr. Lincoln Stein resides in CSHL, too.

Oh yes! I watched Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society this evening. Complicated animation, fancy INDEED.

Google Page is out of my reach

Shit it! I cannot visit pages.google.com for months. This means I cannot modify my page contents, and visitors abroad keep on reading the same boring stuff over and over again, and my fellow country people reads nothing for no reason >_<

Don't quite know what's the cause but I'm forced to use my ``back-up'' website so as to ensure everyone can read something meaningful.

再登鹫峰

On August 31st, 2008, we went to Jiufeng Hill again. This time, we went quite far beyond.
Beijing had plenty of rains this summer, and there was a big shower in Aug 30, so we enjoyed the clear sky and clean air that day. How wonderful it is!
北京今年夏天的雨水特别多，空气也比往年要好不少。趁着前一天下过雨，我们就在这天出发爬山去了。天真的好蓝啊！


这是在鹫峰公园入口不远处。
this photo was taken near the park entrance.

Zhao Yang was on the road. Hills are connected with each other and you never know where the climax is. Only you know is you are getting higher. The altitude of the highest point there is over 1000 meters, and we have been there. Note the altitude of Beijing city is around 40 meters.

We three. The camera was placed on a rock.
