在Linux下写论文
当初我想用Linux的一个很大的原因就是想使用Linux下发展起来的工具。尽管Emacs、gcc等工具有Windows下的移植版本,但它们往往不能完全正常的工作。自从使用了Linux以来,我一直没有机会再用过TeX。最近我们要交期末论文,我便有了机会体验在Linux下写论文的感觉了。

第三届中文网志年会后,”Feedsky-拼’博’到底博客挑战赛”便成了中国Blog界里的一件大事。一星期以来,广大报名了的Blogger们坚持拼”博”着。但有些东西实在令人不吐不快。
今天开机上Google搜索资料。由于之前用过英文版的Google,因此这次从浏览器的地址栏里输入了google.cn,结果发现出来了较奇怪的结果:
最近很久没有更新这个blog,一是为了修炼英语,每天的想法已经被我记录到了另一个英文blog上了,二是自从在本子上换用了Ubuntu后,就一直忙于研究用它来完成各种日常事物。然后就变得越来越懒了……
Today, when I was on the bus to school in the morning, I saw someone stood beside the road. Both of them had a board wrote “On Strike” held in front of them. Some of them waved to the bus and they looked pleasant. I thought they might be in some kind of party, or maybe something dangerous happened since there was “Strike” on the board. As far as I know, the word “Strike” may mean what we are doing in the game “Counter-Strike”.
Today is the real thanks giving day in Canada(the thanks giving day in Canada and in the US are in different days). Last night, we went to Garson’s home for their thanks giving dinner. This night, we had our thanks giving dinner.
In the afternoon, Annette’s ex-daughter came. Her name is Ashley(sound). She told me she was 23 years old. And she was working in McDonald’s. We had dinner together.
Today, is the thanks giving eve. The homestay mother of Garson, Blue, invited Forrest and I to her home for thanks giving dinner. In western custom, people will have turkey on thanks giving dinner.
This was the second time I had turkey. The first time was in the airport of Vancouver. I bought a turkey sandwich for dinner. At that time, I couldn’t understand what did the seller say, and I spent a lot of time to explain what I want. The seller even explain what a turkey is to me!
In these days, ELC held some interviews between instructors and students. The main topic of interviews is about the learning and the life in ELC. Each students had to attend the interview. And each interviews is about 10 minutes.
The interviews is individual. During the interviews, only the instructor and the interviewee was allowed to stay at the classroom. All the others were going outside. Students who didn’t have interview in that day is allowed to go home earlier. So in these days, I always arrived home before 2:30.

It’s a long time that I didn’t update my blog. The reason was I felt a bit tired. To write English everyday is not as easy as to write Chinese everyday. And I found the advantage of English writing was it can easily express the logic. That means, you can say something academic or argue some topic. That’s simple. But if you’d like to talk some feelings like in Chinese, that’s not that simple.
