In Neihu, there’s a great BBQ spot on the road in front of the main gate of Lishan Junior High School, near Gang-Qian Road. It’s called Chuan Men Zi BBQ (串門子燒烤) — pretty solid! There’s a bookstore next door. Hours are 17:00 to 24:00. You can call ahead to order and then pick up — it’s takeout only, not the kind of place you sit down with friends for a long chat. ...
ncftp is an FTP client. One of our projects needed FTP functionality, so I cross-compiled it for an ARM target. Build Steps Step 1: Generate the Makefile. If you need curses support, add the relevant library — but for our project it’s not needed: ./configure --disable-ccdv --without-curses --without-ncurse Step 2: Edit the Makefile — update CC and STRIP as follows: CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu- CC=${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc STRIP=${CROSS_COMPILE}strip Step 3: Make it! make
In two more weeks, I’ll be getting married — the title says it all. “A married man” is simply the counterpart of “a married woman”! Marriage marks the beginning of a new chapter in life. Someone will be by my side, supporting me through everything. There will surely be much to learn and grow through — I hope I can do it well. 😄 Thank you to my other half for more than three years of companionship. I look forward to your continued guidance in the days ahead.
While searching for information online recently, I stumbled upon a blog discussing articles about the security and surveillance industry. It was quite unique — it’s rare to find blogs specifically covering this niche industry. Through Andy’s articles, I also made a new connection and shared some thoughts. Blog link: http://febon.blogspot.com/ If you’re interested in the security surveillance industry, feel free to drop by and join the discussion.
Most of the following content is adapted from online resources, with some corrections based on issues I encountered during setup. Ubuntu’s default Java environment uses GCJ-1.4, which has poorer performance. So the first step is to install the following packages using your preferred package manager (on Ubuntu, go to System → Synaptic Package Manager): sun-java6-jre (required environment for running Java software) sun-java6-jdk (needed only if you are a Java developer) eclipse-jdt (Eclipse’s Java Development Tools package) eclipse-common-nls (Eclipse’s localized language messages — install this for a Chinese interface) galternatives (GUI frontend for update-alternatives, used to change system default preferences) Edit the following file: vim /etc/jvm ...

Recently, in the process of constantly trying new things — combined with ever-changing work assignments — I’ve started running an experiment of sorts: does a person need to fully understand something before they can accomplish the work? From my observation so far, the answer is: you don’t need to fully understand in order to get something done. However, that’s a short-term view. From a long-term perspective, the hidden costs of not knowing can be just as significant — sometimes even worse. ...
Converting std::string to const char* in Visual C++ Method 1: Convert to C-style string string str1("hello world"); const char *c_str1 = str1.c_str(); Method 2: Convert to array via data() const char *a_str1 = 0; a_str1 = str1.data();

Over the past few weeks, work has been changing at an absolutely ridiculous pace. Hence the title — Super Transformation, like those charades-meets-variety-show segments on TV. It’s also fitting for the political sphere right now, where a better title might be Super Deception, playing out like some endless animated Flash series. With elections in the next six months, that title would hold up. And while we’re at it — Chang Ma-Bian, meaning someone who always lies. ...
