First Post

I've wanted to do this long time ago.

Ditch the styles, since I'm not a CSS person. Forget about hexo, because I don't want to bend my mind over that any more. I said "any more" because, you know.

And in the end, I want to actually talk about something. Probably not in this post since I already wrote a lot of rubbish and it couldn't be helped.

What do I envision this blog as?

I don't fansy talking about myself, but that may be going to change. But still I would refrain from giving out too much privacy, since that's what you do privately, not publicly. I'm no celebrity, so everyone would be happy with that.

Maybe I want to talk about thoughts. Probably academic, probably not. Just thoughts.

So using this blog is kind of spurring myself. Have a new start. Take on challenges. Perceive less and think more. You can think of it as increasing the ROI(just to make sure, it's Return on Investment, since I'm not talking about images here) of thoughts. And I think it's a good thing to do -- the more you think, the better you are. Still, I'm not against reading, but I want to make it count.

Still, it's quite cool to have the styling all done without any effort. Speaking of easy-peasy, just a few clicks and it's done. But perhaps I will have go into great lengths to, for example, make it display Hymmnos. Just saying, not that I'm planning.

I'm going to cut it here, because I don't have anything else to mumble about. Checked the word count, about 270. Yes, I keep a word counting tool in my browser's bookmarks, so it's quick to check on that. It's in my bookmarks because there was a time when I was scratching my head for GRE writing, and was keeping track of how much I wrote. But I couldn't write much -- typically 300 words to 400 words. Just the number what we have now. Had another check and it's 330 or so.

Here we talked about counting, another counting tool I keep in the bookmarks is a BPM counter. It's a bit of fun to guess the BPM of a piece of music and to find it out. It's interesting to find that some house music plays in 128BPM. A magic number. Or, there's a track with 222.22BPM, which is a little esoteric. Some have 256BPM. Into the realm of speedcore and extratone(the word escaped me) everything melts together, and there's no way to separate them. So just how many BPM there are, they give vastly different experiences, which amuses me.

How frequent something happens, makes a difference. Or how frequent compared with others. In a textbook Computer Organization and Design(the more I write, it turns out the less books I read), it's suggested that make common cases fast. In some senses, it's analogous democracy: let's just cater to the need of the majority. But that would make the minority unsatisfied, and they become the new bottleneck. In this case we need to turn around to check this out. Hopefully, it will take us zigzagging up the hill, but in most cases it's just seesawing.

There's nothing bad about seesawing, though. There are a lot of factors, or cases to consider about a program, a system, or a population. When they are all sitting on the seesaw, it's very important to be clear about what we need. We may need specific persons to go up, which means we are appealing to a specific use case or environment.

But there are some cases, that people's voice won't be heard until they take aggressive approaches. There's a Chinese phrase "按闹分配"(to each according to his complaints) joking about this phenomenon. That's the case where everybody on the seesaw complains they are going down, and in the end nobody really benefits. Maybe the analogy is not quite right, but you get what I'm telling. My two cents, is that it results from inequity. Or inequality. Or both. When the weak(so it's equity here) cannot protect their due rights on their own, they have to appeal to the public to do so, or in some cases, make a fuss. I'm not a good society learner so I cannot elaborate it well here.

Although I took great pains trying to write something, the article still looks very short. It should be relativity in its nature. I wish I could write only things that are helpful and meaningful, but that couldn't make sense if I don't write to figure it out. I kind of want to change my keyboard because it is somewhat uncomfortable to type. Everything is fine without the keyboard cover, but I still need one because it's hard to clean the laptop keyboard without dissembling it(my heart breaks every time I remove a key cap, because the dust stays deep under which refuses cleaning). And it's impossible to dissembling the laptop without nullifying the warranty. I hope one day they'll have easy-to-take-off keyboards in laptops. That's just another example that little things bring you huge pains. Just like the bedbugs.
