Just got my American Red Cross certificate. Now I am certified to rescue
I recently met a really really dumb thing, the dumbest ever happened in my life.
So we are located on the A level of building B. It turns out there is a secret mailing list called deptR-B-officers@*.*.edu, which is supposed to list all people in department R who have office in B. None of the people I know were listed, and I don’t even bother to ask if any is.
Any way, on each level there was a refrigerator C_i, and on C_i, there was a sign saying: “this refrigerator will be cleaned every first Thursday of each month”. And there was a Sunday, the one in charge of all C_i decided that she wanted to make everybody suffer for her dumbness, and sent an email to the mailing list mentioned before saying that she’s going to throw away everything in the refrigerators and she did it! Yeah!
By the way, I forgot to mention that the building is shared by multiple departments… You get it, right?
In fact, this is not fully surprising though. I can totally imagine this could happen again and again in the future. How should I avoid doing it myself? I guess the key is be serious when you are taking responsibilities. If I can not take the responsibility, just don’t, suggest someone else who might be more suitable for the task. Once accepted, do it perfectly.

I just read this paragraph in a book about film in wildlife photographing.
“I heartily recommend that when you find a good film, or a good film and developer combination, you stick with them. Too many photographers have to try every new film that comes on the market; they are forever testing, and so they never achieve the consistency that is mandatory for good results.” —How I Photograph Wildlife and Nature, by Leonard Lee Rue III
Isn’t this the same for research?
I have been tediously debugging today…
Use fflush(stdout) after the command of printing debug information. Because the program might have crashed before the print information is sent to the terminal(Yes, it’s possible, and that’s what costs me 2 hours debugging!) And finally it turns out to be an index running over the boundary.

Check out the following sentence I just heard on a television documentary about Rushmore Monument.
“Rushmore must be cleaned every year with compressed H2O.” Does this sound like an expert? Maybe. The speaker surely wants to create the impression that he’s doing a professional job. But using a technical slang where not necessary in fact creates a very negative feeling and will keep the audience away, and eventually they will lose interest in the talk if the speaker keeps doing this.
Google has an open source OCR software called: tesseract-ocr http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/
Seems there’s a problem with the code, at least in Visual Studio, it does not build successfully. Not sure if it’s true for its Linux version(Tried recently, it works!).
Instead, there’s a free(?) software, which is basically a wrapper for this, called Free OCR: http://softi.co.uk/freeocr.htm
1. SSH tunnel
ssh -g -L <local port>:<remote server>:<remote port> <username on ssh server>@<remote ssh server>
use your password on ssh server
2. mout samba partition on the remote server
smbmount <remote samba share folder> <local folder> -o <windows domain username>, ip=127.0.0.1, port=<local port>
use windows domain password
e.g.
ssh -g -L 9999:*.cs.cmu.edu:139 hwkang@*.cs.cmu.edu
smbmount //*.cs.cmu.edu/samba/hwkang samba1 -o username=hwkang,ip=127.0.0.1,port=9999
