17 October The Internet in the 21th centuryToday. I went to one of the Distinguished Lecture Series held by U of T. The topic is as the title: The Internet in the 21th century. Vint Cerf, who gave us the lecture, was known as the father of the Internet. His contributions to the Internet are tremendous that drafting up TCP/IP protocol is just one achievement among the list. You know, TCP/IP is what our current Internet is based on. Without it, there is no Internet! His fame of course drew a large attention within the campus. During the lecture which was held in a lecture with its capacity of 400 people, the room was packed with listeners. Those who came late had to sit on the floor. Besides, it is amazing to see that almost every professor in computer science had came and sat with their students listenining to Cerf's speech.
In his speech, Vint Cerf mentioned a number of topics related to the Internet technology. Although most of the content is hard to understand if you dont have the background knowledge, he then moved on talking the future for the Internet which was quite enlightening. As he works for google, he mentions the idea to do advertising by implementing new technologies. e.g. You can pause a video stream from the Internet and click any object in the image to obtain information about that product... Another impressive topic is about inter-planet network. This is a crazy idea to build a network with the same functionality as the Internet within our solar system. And by implementing a new series of protocols, this network could be used for many purposes such as space adventures. Taking the fact that China is now working on sending astrouauts to the moon, Americans have really surpassed us a great many years! So exciting about the lecture and wrote those words above... And here's the link to the biography of Vint Cerf(http://individual.utoronto.ca/spifeweb/speech.htm). 21 July Tour to VietnamHavent updated my blog for quite a long time, well actually i've been
travelled a lot. About 3 weeks after i came back to China, i began my
travel with the first stop to Sanya, Hainan and then to Haikou,
Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Zhenzhou, Kaifeng and now to Hanoi, Vietnam. The
latter is really a impressive tour, not only i went abroad to a
neighbouring country, but the trip is sth like going back to China in
1970s. Everything there is so interesting that will waken my
imagination about how china looked 30 years ago. The highlight of the
trip is that i went to Halong bay, a well-known tourist attraction that
got its fame for its exotic moutains and water. It is also called
"Guiling in seawater"(my interpretation:P) . Well, check out the pics
below and you'll know the reason. 29 May Home for dinner!!Finally got home, after flying over almost half of the earth. On my way back, i even passed thru arctic, though there's nothing can be seen from the plane which is 10km above the continent. Hope one day i could visit there and hopefully the polar bears won't chase after me :P Ppl say i am too LAZY that i havent update my blog for quite a long time, well this is true that it's not updated but i am not lazy, just lost the motivation that drives me to maintain the blog. Nevertheless, to keep the blog is not a bad idea for me now since i am at home with a plenty of time in my hand. So, let's do it! 28 April UofT in the movieJust heard it today that in the movie "Mean Girls", which is shot in 2004 has its last part shot in my campus! I watched that movie a long time ago and i didn't recognize anything at the time, but now i just redownloaded and yeah it is in UofT! Here are some snap shots so you can share the feeling with me : -P. 21 March Spezzatino veal stew出门在外久了，才会慢慢想起自己家乡的许多东西来。或许对于我们这些长年在外国的华人，经常会想到自己原来在国内的最喜欢吃的某种事物吧。不过说是话，要使细心一点你会发现原来西餐中也有何中餐十分相似的菜肴，甚至可以说完全一样。比如说今天买了一个 Spezzatino veal stew。Spezzatino是这一类菜的名字，指那些肉类的炖菜。veal是小牛肉，故名思义是取自牛的幼子身上的肉，因该可以说是牛肉中的上上品了。还说西餐不那么讲究，却没见过中餐的菜肴中有过要求要小牛肉的，倒是有要求那些保护动物身上的某些部分。话说回来，这spezzatino veal stew今天我之所以在这里提，是因为它的味道和我们的番茄炖牛肉完全一样！！！我最喜欢的菜之一哦，而且因为是取用自小牛身上的肉，所以牛肉的鲜嫩得以万万全全的展现出来！

26 December Days in Montreal今天没有更新space了，因为一直没有时间。早晨起来就会出门，直到精疲力尽才会回来。
今天是到蒙特利尔的第3天了，第一天到达时就去了蒙特利尔市图书馆，一座规模庞大，设施完善并先进的图书馆（最有趣的是你可以接到最新的电影和音乐专辑），第二天游历了这个城市的几个主要景点如教堂St. Joseph's Oratory，Mcill University等等，第三天去了城市东边的2个小岛，后来得知这2个岛是人工岛，由修建地铁时挖出的泥土所堆筑而成。还是武汉好，有天然的江心岛，只可惜夏天就被淹了，所以现在上面什么也没有。蒙特利尔的这两个岛上主要有公园，赌场还有F1赛道！
都说蒙特利尔是历史名城，确实是名不虚传，因为似乎这里每年都回举办许多国际活动：今年夏天就有国际跳水竞标赛，F1大奖赛……
走在街上，你可以明显感到城市的街道，建筑风格都与多伦多不同。不过还不确定是不是这些就是法式风格。这是作为法国人的后裔，蒙特利尔人似乎不怎么喜欢法国车，起码我到现在还没有看到一辆。家乐福也没看到。这点倒还是中国人厉害，什么国家的车都用，来自几个国家的超市都有。
13 December Haha, now I am a J2ME programer:)Finally, I got my codes worked on Sony Ericssons' cell phones. After several days studying those boring APIs, I finally made it. Although, the programs are very simple, you generate a series of random number and you ask the cell phone to find the positon of a given number.
Really hope I could run those programs on my own cellphone.
Now, i could run them on those PC-based emulators, hey i wanna play them when i am taking the TTC! 07 December 最后一节电脑课18：00
7 December 2005
今天上了这学期最后一节csc108h1f, 就是我的第一门电脑课的最后一节。
13个星期，我的电脑编程的正式启蒙，发现自己对编程还是很有感觉得。
15个星期，我在加拿大的时间，让我发现自己的适应力还是很强的，呵呵：）
27 November Cavalcade of LIGHTS在加拿大的城市街道上，你的感觉就是人少，似乎就像是国内黎明前的城市街道。掐指一算，已有好长时间，大概4个星期吧，没有出过学校转转了。很巧，ISC（international student center）给我发的邮件终于给了一个机会，说今天在Nathan Philips Square 会举行的第 39 届 Cavalcade of Lights。说实话，ISC的邮件我经常看了看就删除了，信里的内容从来没在我大脑里呆过超过5秒。
很不好意思，至今还不知道为什么叫Cavalcade of Lights。似乎是有什么典故。都是第39届了，却从来没听过。。。
加拿大国土面积大，人口少，理应有丰富的土地资源，所以修广场若是像国内那样，估计最小的都有洪山广场那么大了（要是不知道洪山广场有多大，就想像5个足球场吧）。不过这个NP广场呢，大概勉强一个足球场吧。而且在地图上看，这个已经是很大的了。to be continued...
16 November XBOX360 Tech&Design Talk哇，多大就是好，微软来招聘了几次，这次更是把还未上市的新一代主机iXBOX360带来了。会上由XBOX360的2个代表，一个是负责程序方面的一个是用户界面方面的，做了一个关于硬件技术的演讲，然后是游戏试玩，可惜只有2个游戏。在这期间还送出了什么衬衣啦，游戏光碟之内的奖品，知我我竟然一个都没拿到。。。为了找点安慰，最后拿了好多PIZZA回了做为补偿好了。 |
