最终还是决定不去读博士了。留了条后路。早点脱身校园吧。不知道为什么，从初中一直到现在，校园一直没有给我留下过什么让我值得回忆的东西。虽然生活的中心在那里。确真正让我开心的时刻总是在别处。上辈子和学校有仇~

连续工作36个小时，惶惶忽忽的拿着计算结果来找偶hiwi小老板。对于一个连什么叫线形方程都8知道的人来解释数学还真是难到我了。小子对线形方程的理解就是一个数字乘另外一个然后另外一个数字乘再另外一个数字的出来的式子。果真纯朴，嘲笑他一下先。晕晕忽忽的帮他解释了半天，想当初小子说他Nottingham大学毕业的我还崇拜了半天呢，没想到就这个素质。突然偶大老板进来，大家按规矩hello一声，大老板突然发问，您（哇。。。在德国就是好，就我这样的连个教授都称您，简直要折寿了）和不和我们一起去Bern，我们有一个Weihnachtsfeiern。Bern 好地方啊。。当然去，自然喜怒不可行于色，开心是不能表现在脸上的，毕竟不熟嘛，于是乎，一本正经以答曰，ich werde gerne wenn die Zeit mir passt, danke fuer den Einladen.心里却已经乐开了花。果真36个小时没有白做（这个算不算又是联想过度了呢？记得以前有人说过我爆能瞎想。）。反正后来心情愉快，于是乎当起了小老板的数学启蒙老师，哇，绝对没有这么尽心尽责的教过人~~~。怪不得现在好多公司都讲求员工福利，那个果然可以激发员工工作之积极性~~~~

期待bern之行~~~

To 某个封建老太婆心目中的异类: 偶们小老板也是大帅哥~，笑起来那个甜美呀，又有艺术气质，和你大老板绝对有的一拼，什么时候给你看照片~~hoho~

今天还吃到一种叫 Qiao Gu的东西，上海话发音，用春卷皮炸的，据说是上海小吃~~~晕，我为什么不知道呢？？？ 别人果然会过日子，用剩下的春卷皮用来炸 qiao Gu....

好片子

今天，看了一部好片子，叫做“你丫闭嘴“。很好看，故吟诗一首：

 

举头数钢崩

低头去网吧

只盼工资快点涨

天涯何处没炒票

 

公司里今天介绍了部门介绍，人人都熊朝盆派，希望能分个好部门。我想了，嘿，随便你分八！！

我只要跟着lb就可以了！！！

培训了3礼拜了，看清了该公司的本质，但是，我也不管了，我坚定了目标，那就是一定要开一家

自己洗欢的小店！！！努力啊，谈~~~~

转载一下，小子强的~~~

注: 下面的学术潜规则最早来自伯克利David Patterson’s talk on How to Have a Bad Career in research/Academia, 后来被EPFL的Tom整理和补充. 大部分观点是为圈内人所熟知的, 它们适用于海外CS专业甚至EE专业中的一些方向.

% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------%

• Grades do matter in undergraduate years (since they are considered when applying for a PhD position)

• In CS, people often do short post-docs or even get faculty positions right after finishing their PhD. In other sciences, postdocs are usually longer. It would therefore be logical to have longer PhD periods than the current three years at EPFL.

• There are two criteria for getting a job: the quality of the research and the letters of recomendation, not the course grades. It is important to find the right people to write a letter of recommendation. Going to conferences is useful, as an outside letter, even if less informative, is very positive.

 • Go to the main conferences, learn which are the hot topics, talk to people.

 • It is worth investing time into producing the best papers and presentations; a conference talk might be the only shot one has to convince the experts in the field; not using these 25 minutes well might mean missing the opportunity of a lifetime.

 • Research is not a nine to five job. It gets worse as faculty member.

 • When working towards a deadline, organize your time, get sleep, exercise...It is better to work concentrated for 10 hours than for 24 without concentration.

 • Conferences where the deadline gets extended are usually not having enough submissions and are not the best conferences. Well regarded conferences have deadlines by the second (eg. 23:59:59 Samoa time).

 • Looking at the final goal (eg. of a PhD project) gives the impression that the amount of work is enormous, which leads to procrastination. It is important to subdivide the work and focus on the next paper (3 months) for example.

 • Measure how you spend your time. This can lead to surprises (e.g., spending 3 hours on e-mail) and helps taking conscious decisions to adjust.

 • Managing time gets harder as a professor, as it becomes necessary to mutliplex between projects. • Taking chance on hard topics is easy when one has tenure, but else of high risk, specially in theory. It is important to be able to decide early (like 3 months) that something has failed, not invest two years to conclude that it doesn’t work.

 • As a PhD student, it is important to work on something which can be separated into manageable chunks, but also to work on something more substantial than only incrementing somebody else’s work.

• Up to the Masters, you learn what you are taught. As a PhD student, it’s up to you to decide what to learn.

• Try to explain what your doing to somebody else. Explaining makes it easier to realize the oddities of one’s thinking than living in one's own mind.

 • There is a problem in computer science about publications which show solutions to a problem formulation which is not applicable to an actual need.

• Computer science has not adopted the scientific method from other sciences and has thus not grown into a science. One should strive for doing it the right way.

• It always takes time to understand what somebody else is doing, but if it is close to one’s own field, it is really necessary to take that time.

• Bad idea: distribute the ideas over six papers (Least Publishable Unit), as somebody might read all six papers and notice it.

 • Job talks are given to the whole computer science department, not a specialized audience; it is necessary to adapt.

• Mutlidisciplinary work with people from other areas provides new points of view and new ideas.

中午研究了法兰克福的交通图，发觉德国人真的麻烦的可以，一块比上海大不了多少的地方硬是给他们分成了60个A级交通区域，而每一个A级交通区域之下又分为若干副交通区域。于是整个纷繁复杂的计价系统就建立在这上百个豆腐干区域上了。在A级交通区域下乘坐交通工具的价格属于第3级价格，从一个A级区域到另外一个A级区域则加上一个档次，以此类推直到到达第7级价格为止。那个美其名曰，价格上限。多好听的名字，从来商家做生意就是买的价格越高越好，现在我们设立一个价格上限，来照顾你们顾客，你们只要坐车坐的足够远，我们公司就做大，请你免费乘坐接下来的路程。

以上说到也不过是标准价格。在这个基础之上，法兰克福的交通公司又推出了各种各样的月票，学生票。其中不得不提的还有ice--erg''anzungstickt。觉得这个票颇为划算。特别适合从德国回国在法兰克福坐飞机的人士。通常此类人士持有从德国各地奔赴法兰克福的ice车票。此类人士如身份为学生或无业人士，在享受完短暂的ice上的舒适服务之后，总感心头忐忐，意犹未尽。于是乎法兰克福交通公司的这一举措足以让其继续享受ice车票之福音，廉价享受一次法兰克福城市之旅。购物休闲也好，拜望历史遗迹也罢，亦或在缅因河畔的博物馆中领略一次spectrum of the modern art（虽然大多数时候我对这些东西的理解就在于：现代艺术=另类想法+一张能说会道的嘴）。这个车票要比买普通的天票便宜60%左右。所以还是颇为值得。

就到这里先结束吧。以下列出一些网站，以供参考：
