今年是我在國樂社裡第一次擔任檢定的評審,原本學弟來找我的時候,我並沒有答應他,想說自己才大五,應該還有很多次機會,不過在參加完三榮說明會後,我改變主意了,這說不定是我倒數幾次機會擔任評審了,所以最後還是上了。
評審總共有五位,心如老師、sasimi, 朱、明勳還有我,這倒是出乎我的意料,原以為學弟找不太到人所以才來幫忙的… XD 其實過程中還有點小出入,原本葆如也是評審之一,不過醫院臨時有事情走不開沒辦法來,而心如老師本來說不來,後來也是跑過來了,加加減減人數還是剛好,這也蠻神奇的。

Yesterday, Kilo asked me to query CGMH about the result of the residents enrollment for her, because she doesn’t want to hear the bad news herself. I made the call in the coffee break time via Skype, on the wireless in the 2nd Teaching Building.
The connection quality seemed vary bad. The other side could hear my voice, but I could just intermittently hear his. Finally, I was referred to the Medical Teaching Division, and successfully asked them about the result of the residents enrollment. Unfortunately, Kilo‘s not enrolled.
Hope she won’t be too sad when I tell her the news tonight.
Last week, I changed my Gmail Notifier, a firefox extension, to Gmail Manager, which can manage several gmail accounts at the same time. I love the feature. But, the extension is too new that it doesn’t have a Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) locale files, but it has a Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) locale files and firefox will use zh-CN, which is similar to zh-TW.
I don’t like this to happen, so I just spent about 1 hour making the new locale files and sent the patch to the author. This is the first time I translate the locale files for an open-source software. Hope he will receive this and applies to the new release of Gmail Manager quickly. :p
I’m now at the Chinese Blogs Awarding Ceremony 2005, which is sponsored by Chinatimes.
The reason why I’m here is that about three days ago, I read a article posted by KJ. She said that any of the participants will have change to get a Acer laptop, so I signed up without any hesitancy. :p
There was something wrong before the ceremony began. The workers didn’t know about that the participants, not the finalists, can have chances to have a lottery of the Acer laptop. But finally after I confirmed the situation with the workers, it’s solved. :)
The hosts are Gon-Tou-Jian (工頭堅) and Miss Chian (sorry, I don’t know her name exactly. ^^a) Jia-Li Chuan, who are both bloggers. They play an important role in the whole ceremony. Time-controlling is very good. And some of the prize-awarding people are very famous, such as amarylliss, Ke-Sian Liu, Schee (although I’ve seen him before), etc. Although I sat in the back of the chamber, I’m very happy to see these famous people.
Some of the award-winners are not as I thought originally, but I think it should be fair.
It’s almost time to have the lottery, but I’ll just stop here. Hope the God will give me a surprise. :p
2005.12.17 UPDATE: Of course, I’m not lucky enough… ╮(╯_╰)╭ And the list of all award-winners is here.
PCMan is my classmate, who wrote some famous programs including PCMan, a BBS client, IE Tab etc. He is making a speech about GTK+ programming at Corridor Cafe NTU now. The sponsor is TOSSUG. They hold conferences every 3 weeks, and this week is PCMan’s turn.
He introduces what GTK+ is and an associated IDE program called Glade. Also he makes a demo of how to use Glade to establish a GTK+-based window program. Huu… I’m always confused in window programming. The reason I come here is in the first sentence, “PCMan is my classmate.” But maybe I underestimate the charm PCMan has. There are now about 50-60 people here listening to him. Wow! I think he can run in the election of legislators in the future. :p
Hmmm… he records video of the speech. Maybe someday I can put a link here. But he speaks Chinese only… :p
2005.12.16 UPDATE: The video is here (avi, 260MB), the presentation file is here (pdf, 295KB), and the demo codes is here (tar.gz, 109KB).
There are too many things we don’t know very much. Remember not to make a statement easily before you find out all the situation. That may enrage somebody and you don’t know, especially when the statement is strong and he shirks his responsibility and shift the blame onto others.
Last Friday was Rancy’s Robe-hooding ceremony, which is an important ceremony for the 6th grade medical students who are going to leave the campus and enter the hospital. I had a diary in Chinese here, but I’m too lazy to translate it. :p
Hana asked me to send her Rancy’s photos after reading my diary. I tried to collect some from the MedDep’s and mine. Those taken by Bonehead haven’t been collected. Maybe after he sends me, I’ll add them to the album.
Originally I’d like to send Hana via email, but it seemed something wrong with the email system. So I chose the BubbleShare service to share these photos. (BTW, try to embed the album into my blog. :p)
