An Interview with Adosoft

Yesterday I received a call asking me to have an interview. I did some homework aoubt this company yesterday evening. This afternoon I took the No.3 Bus to High-Tech Park. After a long time of searching and asking for directions, I finally found it. A middle aged man interviewed me, doing much of the talk introducing what he does and what he wants me to do.

Watching Friends,Learning English

Friends is a classic TV series. It always makes me laugh. I have thought of a way of learning English as most people do or are doing or have done. Learning English by Waching Friends. I have downloaded all the series. I find time to enjoy them. Not only do they provide fan, they also train my listening and expand my view.
The relationship between them and them with others are so subtle and everything changes so fast.
I will keep on watching and keep on learning English by this way.

Learning English by Reading Prison Break

Actually I have been watching Prison Break until now from it first airs. I love this series. Now I find a book which talks about wonderful snippets. I will review this show by reading this book, remembering what I have watched of this TV series. Watching brilliant Prison Break Learning typical American English.
Now let's begin the Pilot.
What is the pilot? A TV pilot is one who operates or is licensed to operate an aircraft in flight. It can be described as the first episode.A television pilot is a test episode of an intended TV series. I think that there is a good mechanism in American TV series, in that it always values its show. If there is little watching,it is out.
Here in PB, Michael is tattooed all over his body. He designed the picture for himself, containing the blue print of the Fox River prison and his plan after his prison breaking. The tattoo artist Sid is so surprised, puzzled and attracted by her work that she wants to have a good look at it. Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. One is not surprised on seeing a young man tattooing, for it is common among young people.

A novel Idea.

There are always new stories coming up in recent TV series. In this Dollhouse S01E10, Echo is imprinted to play a just passed woman, to find out who has murdered her. It is turned out that her son wants her walfare and killed her, afraid of her husband getting it. How sad, money can drive a man to kill his mother. It is lucky for the dead woman who can speak to whom she loves through Echo. That is a positive side of Dollhouse.
On the other side, Paul is still on this case. It must be very hard for him to date with an Active, just a body.
Boyd still cares much for Echo, a good thing.
The story itself is very usual, but how it is told is quite interesting.

Harpers Island 1x3

It is crazy to watch a English TV show without the subscript. But I did. And that I my aim for learning English.
Kelly is hanged to death. She is fan of the killer Wakefield. It becomes public and some guesses come up. Abby's father would do everything to protect his daughter. He won't tell Abby the truth. This show offers scares and surprise, misleading us. Hunter is death in this episode S01E03, the third day of the wedding week. I have doubted that he may be the killer hired by the father, but he is not and the way of his being shot is quite novel.
I thought that JD must be related with Kelly's death. But he is not in usual sense for Abby believes JD. They grew up together on the island.
The killer must be very smart. He can make use of nearly all the resource. And he may forsee for he prepares well for others' death. And people can not find his trail.
I still think that he is kinda relationship with Thomas Wellington.
Maybe Thomas planned all this.It cannot be for there is no need to kill innocent people. One by one.

Wash & Watch

Yestday evening I went to District C to take a shower. A teacher of Chu surnamed Zhao was at our dom searching materials for his paper when I got back. He is studying for a degree on Mathematics.
After the shower, I began to work on the website. A little tired after a whole day's work on it, I washed my clothes and stockings. That time the teacher had gone back. I started the KMPlayer and watched Fringe S01E17. I missed parts of this episode for I had to pour the water and get new water. I like washing while watching,or rather watching while washing, especially when there is only me in the dom, for in that case I can turn on the louder of the notepad, disturbing no one else.
In this episode, a man who can effect people around him deeply and can even make people kill themselves while he wants to commit suicide. He has some kinda relationship with Olivia for she sees she does the same thing in her dream. Finally Olivia saved him and many other people including a policeman by shooting the guy.
Old doctor Bishop remembers something and begins to search in his magic box, to find a tape which records he and maybe William talking with little Olivia after a experiment on her.
I have said that the old Bishop near did all the fringe things before he was sent to mental hospital after his assistant was burned to death in an experiment accident.
How can one or two accomplish so many most advanced researches including time travel machine, making a monster out of many genes, etc. Maybe he is living in a time when technoloy is more and more and more advanced than now. Or my horizon is not big enough.
After the episode, I had finished my washing and I went on working on the website.

Mood won't lie.

Last Saturday some guy phoned me offering me a parttime job,doing a website.What inspires me is that art design is done and what I need to do is to code. I like coding job with asp.net C#. I have done plenty of projects with C# using Visual Studio,big and small, web and winform.
The price is reasonable but time is urgent. The client wants to see the site next Monday, that is today.(:. But the truth is that the needs are not clear,the db is not built and even the index page is not good enough. That afternoon I had dinner with my girl and we watched the Lie to Me together. We both like this series very much, which can teach us some techniques and the stories are interesting. But at that moment I was not in the mood for enjoying it. The job made me a little anxious, about tomorrow's work, about how to begin it and how to talk with the manager about the salary for I am in need of money to settle my credit card.
I did not catch the meaning of this episode very much. The main story is so readily
changeable, involving so many characters. The author must have a hard work on Cal's love stories. The story of the leading actor is so splendid. It is rare case that Cal's wife (or ex-wife) ask for a hand from him.
After all it is Lie to Me S01E10 I sat through with unquiet mind thinking of work next day.

The Flow of Building a Website.

1.Art designer draws a picture of the index page.
Send to the client to confirm.
2.Art designer edits following the clients' opinion.
Confirm again.
3.Art designer begins to draw other pages.
Cut the pictures and arrange all layout like where there is a picture and where there is a control.
Db is schemed.
Web framework is setup.
4.Coding. Programer binds data to controls and debugs.

A Meal

Yesterday evening we had a meal in Home Dinner of West Sea, "Xi Hai Jia Yan" for Zhao's coming back to trasfer some documents for his changing a job. I drank about a cup less than a bottle of beer, which first made me uncomfortable when going back to Office. We talked about his ex-job, the job he would do the following days. I assured him that whatever he wants me to do, he just calls. Then he went to Ma's dom to have a sleep. Zheng, Wang, etc went to gym to play badminton. Yuan is still working on LabVIEW to prepare for his next-day presentation.
I went to dom and washed my feet. Then I climbed onto my bed to sleep. Sleeping is a good way for me to be unaware of the pain the wine or beer pushes me. The worst thing is that I wake up midnight, feeling my head is so painful that it wants to fall apart. I turned round and round in bed,hoping to find a way for me easier to fall asleep. After a hour's struggle, I finally made it.
This morning I got up early,only a little headache left.

Prison Break 4x17---The Mother

Her words "Take it." sound reasonable as to why during their escape she never shows up or just sends someone to give a hand. I do not agree that she knows nothing about her sons' story, a nationwide story. At the end of this episode, I see a rather ruthless mother who will for some kinda profit and clearing snags take his son's life. I hope that there will be a turn somewhere in one of next episodes that the lady pretends to be their mother, and it is just an intrigue.

I am glad to see that after long time of prison life and running, Michael Scofield is even a little fatter. Haha, a joke.

Fear can hold you prisoner.Hope can set you free.

Shawshank Redemption shocked me when I watched this classic movie. I found this movie by chance. It tells a story of a young and successful banker who is convicted and sentenced to life for murder. He never loses his hope. He stays in prison as if he is livinga another normal life. He applies for money and books for the prison library. He encourages a young prisoner to study. He makes a good friend. He successes in prison breaking using a small hamber. He gives his other identity lots of money during his prison life.

Harpers Island 1x2 ---The Second Day

Three are killed in this episode, the second day of the wedding week. I have thought 'one by one ' is one by a day,or one every week. In last episode, we know that Marty is killed at the end, but at the beginning the poor Ben is killed without saying a word, just some struggling.
Henry is busy as a fiancé, of course. The routine things of a wedding are not necessary to show here. I have wondered how he should not know his uncle's death. In this episode I find that Marty's body is not hanged out, instead the killer sends Henry a message informing him that his uncle Marty is OK, hiding the murder.

Kelly being hung from a noose and Lucy being burnt should alert them. Next day will release.
With so many people dying one by one, how is the wedding going on?
Who is the killer?

There is a death chart in Harper's Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia,which I find very interesting.

Prison Break is coming back.

When I am watching Harpers Island 1x1 (Maybe I am not quite sure now.), I saw Prison Break would come next week. I am very excited for we love it very much. Although there are some scenes which, in my opinion, do not make sense, I still like it.
I hope that after so long a break, this Prison Break will continue to offer us wonderful stories as before.

Fringe 1x16---Monster

It seems that old doctor Bishop has a magical box where he could find most of the answers to unusual cases. Nearly all mysterious things are related to him, his success in doing this or his failure in doing that. He has ever made a time machine,which although kept separately in different places and indexed by an arithmetic, is found out and used to rescure a man. In this story, his failure work is continued by his co-worker, making a big moster.
There are two things puzzling me in this episode.
Why does Peter call Rachel through Alivia?
Why does the Moster, after attacking so many unimportant men, become so feeble when facing the Bishops and Alivia?

Dollhouse 1x9--A responsible Doll

I like this episode of Dollhouse very much. I see a doll quick to learn, a girl who uses her head to think about everything around her. She knows something is happening for the condition is not as usual. So she tries to help, knowing she can do nothing at her state, by asking Topher to change her. Echo finally finds the spy, using the mothed systematicly elaborated in Lie to Me. What a smart girl.
What surprises me most is that Adelle, the leader of Dollhouse, dates her Doll, Victor, secretly. That makes Adelle more woman than a machine who operates Dolls and deal with clients. She is her client. She is a person with fantasy.
The story Sierra experiences is about security and high technology of a government department, RSA (what is this?). It is cool and exciting.

In Adobe Acrobat Pro, Tools->Select & Zoom->Snapshot Tool.
The current cursor is like this: +. Click and drag a rectangle.

Most of time, I will use Faststone Capture to obtain a picture over the screen, but I believe that softwares as big and cool as Adobe Acrobat, AutoCad, Matlab, etc. must have the saving-picture function.
If you spend time to explore a software, you can fully employ it.

What a complicated story! ---Lie to Me S01E09

This episode shows that a mayor wants to do something, that is to build a mechnical park to provide jobs. However she urges this, ignoring the safty. An interesting thing of Lie to Me is that Cal and his stuff will always find others' secrets in the process of find the main clue, solving the main problem.
Another tiny story is about a millionaire wants to know his girlfriend loves him or just loves his money. It turns out that the girl really knows his worth. A happy end is that the girl love him and his money just like he loves her and her beauty. Equal.

Harpers Island 1x1--A fair tale, a Pandora

A couple go to Harpers Island to hold their wedding, where all begin after a big murder 7 years ago. The story throws too many suspenses.
I like the forthright character of Abby Mills, dislike Henry Dunn, the groom, who is going to marry Trish but in my view, accompanies more with Abby. The groom should behave himself.
Who is the killer? Maybe a kill group. I have once doubted Marty Dunn for he takes a gun with him.But he is ephemeral,lost lower half of his body and dead after stuck in the wooden bridge. Who would be then? The killer has probably something with the Thomas Wellington, who do not want his daughter to marry Henry but still hold the wedding. What a hypocrite. He maybe just too love his daughter. Maybe not,because that is such a common plot I can figure out. How boring if it turns out that the father hires somebody to stop his daughter's wedding. There must be a big conspiracy, or the TV series will be ephemeral.

Lost 5x12 ---Suspense Releasing

It is very smart of Lost to tell the story happening 30 years by time-travelling to that time and experiencing what is going on there.
This episode mainly tells something about Ben, his rival relationship with Widmore, how he seizes Alex and adopts her, the reason why his daughter has to die and who is more responsible for her death, how Ben summons the Smoke Monster.
Ben loves his daughter deeply, he spoils her.
The Island chooses Locker to lead the 'Others', making Ben his slave. Why? What hints are given to Locker to make him aware of so many things, and how?
I am glad that Desmond hits Ben,saving Penny. What a devoted couple.

Next episode may tell us about how they go to 1977 to reunit. It is worth of expecting.

Original Needs---Dollhouse 1x8

They are special, uncomman Actives. They have needs to do something they have to do. If not, the memory of something they can not describe clearly but that they have to do with will always linger on. It cannot be wiped, technologically.
That is human natural instincts, persisting in something until done.
What will occure when what they dream of really come true? Will the dolls completely forget that after a treatment? Or will they dream about another? I look up to the latter.

Fringe S01E15 --Emotion

This episode of Fringe makes my believe stronger that emotional elements in Tv series weigh more and more, Olivia and Ella, Olivia and that my mystery boy who survives in extraordinary bad conditions. I have wondered why Olivia's sister and Ella come to visit her and live, maybe just for a while, with her. They come to show Olivia is living woman, not only a work-aholic buried by her cases.
Every show will give me new surprise of new technology and tips of wired things.
I like sci-fi things.

A complete Mass--Dollhouse S01E07

In this episode, a madicine kills a student, and temporarily drives nearly all mad, gives the Actives parts of the lost memoris. It mainly talks about Echo's memory of his boyfriend, and led by this memory, she finally finishes this story. Of course, the writer won't waste a good story of a new client, so an old client comes up, offering Echo the new Motor to drive to the spot.

Save lives.

Lie To Me S01E07 tells us two stories of saving life. I think it is Lie To Me's style to show us two independent stories by two different lines which interweave perfectly. One story always gives the other some hits . One is handled by Dr. Cal Lightman and Ria Torres, the other by Dr. Gillian Foster and Eli Loker. There will be a consultation where the two group will talk about both the cases, maybe not at the same time. One,lost in his/her own case, will always be enlightened by the other case, or a word by the other group.
In Cal's case, a medicine poured into the market may cause death. Who commits such a crime? The head of medicine company or the fake medice? Obviously Cal do not want to doubt his friend. "I don't know,... I don't know..." show his doubt about his friend and unwant to admit. The result turns out that his friend is clear about the drug but has an affair with the boss.
I will go back now. Tomorrow I will go on what I leave behind today. Hah.
In Foster's case, she subtly makes use of the opponent's weakness to save the boy by only a meal, a big meal with the President of U.S. worth of showing off.

At the final part, Ria tells Cal that there is something wrong with Foster's hanband. Cal tells Ria to care about her own business. Actually he believe there is something wrong. He watches the officer who is found get in a girl's car and kiss her.They are having affairs. But why does he not talk to Foster about that? Maybe he thinks that Foster can handle it well all by herself.In my opinion, Foster must have noticed something, too. She is kind from the heart, she thinks everything will be OK. So she trusts her husband,which may block her from finding her busband's true face.

Discussion

This afternoon at 2 o'clock a discussion is held at Room 108, opposite my Office across the corridor. Zhang hosts the meeting. My name is the first of the list to give the presentation. On the list after my name, there is only blank while others' are followed by the title they would talk about. It seems abrupt, at least to me, which maked me a little awkward.
Zheng makes the slides for our team. He let me do the job. But Wang's coming changes our minds. Zheng doed the job. He does very well with so many questions from teachers and students alike.
Then others talk about their work and progress. During all the discussion, Yu comments. He seems like to share his knowledge and his experience.
The discussion lasts about 3 hours, every group contribute and they obtain.

The legend of 1900--it is just a step away.

The legend of 1900 is a classic. I like the movie. I feel sad that this Mr.1900 does not have the courage to step down the boat to begin a new life. The ship is big enough to hide himself inside. The land world is too big for him to find a place.
I think he should get out. He can go to The Girl or meet another girl who could just likely move him. He could turn Max for help.He could find another ship to continue his journey over the sea where he could go on contributing his life to music. Why choose to crack down with the ship? A promising life is just a step away,why not go and start afresh?
