多伦多的鬼天气
多伦多最近的天气很不正常,有两天零上几度,刚刚两天受到来自南方美国的气流影响,下了雪暴,居然大冬天响炸雷,让我着实见识了北方的冷空气团和南方的热空气团在此消彼长之间斗争的激烈程度。[@more@]雪从中午开始下,以近乎平行地面的角度由东朝西刮,一直持续了4,5个小时,雪停了,可是交通阻塞,我一直在office等到19:00才动身,结果在停车场上看到了我从来不洗的车被风雪给清理干干净净,迎风面自然什么都没有,背风面有。结果刚上高速就被陷入了车龙,几乎花了1个小时才到了最近的出口Don Mills,由于出口处是一个比较陡的盘旋道
Summury from Feb 12 - Feb 17, 2007
This week is very busy, since I just finished the coding by last Friday night. I had to released it to the end user. Five new career bridge interns is coming. I asked the permission to take care of them.[@more@]Monday morning the 5 new Career Bridge Interns came.

Meet Lao Zhou on the internet.
It is Monday morning, pretty refresh, i started from home exactly at 7:00am and arrived to the office 7:30, no traffic jam at all. It is unbelievable for a Monday morning traffic.[@more@]When I started the MSN, I found Lao Zhou is there. To my surprise, he is back in Toronto and found a new job. After chatting with him for a while, I got his working schedule, Mon-Sat 2:00pm to 12:00pm. It is not a nice schedule, but maybe he prefer this, because he might need some day time for his stock or forei

一个周五的流水账日记
今天发现国内的网站终于可以流畅的登陆了,海缆修好了?![@more@]在发动了广大群众的力量后,梁同学终于思进取,知悔改了。老老实实的在家温课备面试了。今天我8点之前去的单位,因为周三晚上写blog太晚,以至于周四早上起来错过了火车,只好在家上班,虽然将迁移的代码重新写了,也测试了,但是没有加注释和分析,所以周五一早忙着去干活了。每周五的例会无非是大家汇报一下你我他都干什么呢,不过由于上周五出现的变故,我们的任务有可能要重新分配,像原来的一个商业分析的手头工作要交出去给3个项目经理,我们现在还不知道有什么变化
对梁同学的放任自流的批判
梁同学的表现最近是越来越颓废,以至于我这个非常有涵养的人都觉得过分了。为此,我拿出今天的blog来单独说说梁同学的事。引用自梁同学的blog:January 11深呼吸,放松,再放松上周感冒,这周头痛,周末打球怎么什么毛病都没有?说是在房间里闷的,其实是压力太大。各位好朋友,以后谁都不许催我找工作,可以提建议,但是不许施加压力!OK?否则要出人命的哦~~呵呵大家都觉的我的条件应该很容易找到工作,所以我的压力太大!但分析自己,英语不好,技术也不强,不应该太乐观。我其实相信,找到工作只是迟早的事,即使错过4月黄金月,我还有
How to export data from Teradata DB into csv file

What major will you choose for university
Today I went to see a relative family in Mississauga. They have a son who is going to university this year. They want me to talk with his son about what major would be better.[@more@]To choose a major in university is a very important step of a man's life. I collected some information on the web, university of Waterloo and University of Toronto are his two choices. But he is favoured the Nano technology and Engineering of Science. His father wants him to study computer science as both of his par
做客老胡家
跟老胡同志约好,今天下班去他家拜访,老胡是我在贝尔的同事,长我10岁有余,背景和我很像,但是比我经验和阅历还丰富,跟他一起工作有说不完的话,工作起来互相学习和讨论,有一种相见恨晚的感觉。他夫人在多大读博士,是社会科学方面的。他家的姑娘十岁,被多伦多教育局测试为天才儿童。所以抱着对他们家的敬仰,我四点半就从单位跑出来了。 五点整,我已经从Yonge & Bloor地铁站钻出来,看见多伦多最繁华的街道上的人头攒动。[@more@]老胡家就在Manulife Building后面,很好找,进得大厅一种类似煤油的味道,由于老胡家所在的公寓楼
New Year and New Challenge
It is the first day of Year 2007. I haven't updated my blog for a long time. Not because of the work nor lack of the elements. The only reason was that I was too lazy to spend some time on writing blog everyday. So a lot of stories just fade away. In 2007, it should be changed.[@more@]It is the first day of Year 2007.

The summery of 2006
It is the last day of Year 2006. I really needs to do some summery of the almost past year. 1. I went to Europe in Feb and visited the high-tech mould manufacturer in Germany and England. I proved again that I am both physically capable and intelligently capable of a tour guide and translator for high level technology meetings.2. A new life came into my family. My son doggie was born on Feb 25, 2006. He looked like a small puppy. Under his mother, grandmother and his aunt's care, he enjoyed a ha
Teradata SQL Student Guide
It took me two whole days to finish this 20 modules of student guide. It is more like Oracle SQL plus some variations. It is not difficult. Once I got the training next week. I will take a look at it again. And see if I could get a certificate in the near future. The SBI report manager sent each of us a script to read. It is a tedious long script with just one select. And it is based on several views. I felt very sleepy in the afternoon, especially after lunch. I tried to walk around to get some
Busy busy Sunday!!!
This morning, I picked up classmate and her friend to go to church as I promised her. It is really boring to be there. Since I just can't understand what they are talking about. Even they are not traditional, full of music and song. But I still felt boring. That is it. One man called David spoke to me after the worship, "when I shake hand with you, I felt you are a teacher and you have a heart of father, you should be a missionary". I was not sure how could this lame man can told the f
4th Day in Marketing Dept of BCS
The weather is pretty cloudy today. As usual, Go-Train is late. But this time it is not 5 minutes, as it announced it is 10 minutes. I wonder when the Canadian Time Table should be as accurate as German.[@more@]After I got to the office, I got the internal windows messenger installed, which uses SIP and uses our winows login ID/password to login us automatically.

3rd Day in Marketing Dept of BCS
Today is a little bit cold. The Go-Train is late again.[@more@]Two BA joined us to solve the problems we met. They gave some clues on how to register online to get the access of the EDW. During the registration, I found we have to read the Business Code of Conduct. In this online course, there are some scenarios to solve problems with different customers. It reflects both ethitical and business standard, plus some quiz. I really got headache of that. Which made me snoozing a little now and t
2nd Day in Marketing Dept of BCS
Today is a sunny tuesday. The Go-Train arrived 5 minutes late, plus the waiting time before entering Union Station. I finally arrived the office around 8:35. The sunny early winter morning is terrific. I felt freshed walking in Downtown Toronto's street. [@more@]In the elevator, I met the guy from Nepeal. He carried a cup of Tim Horton's coffee with him as usual. We headed to our manager's place to pickup the notebook we stored there last night. When I opened the outlook, a bunch of emails appea

Today is my first day in Marketing Dept of BCS. I took GO-Train to downtown Union Station and arrived at around 8:35. I saw CTV camera shooting the two intersection on York street.

But don't worry, I am the guy always following the rules, especially the traffic rules.[@more@]There were four interns who would come today. I arrived first. Another one came after me is from Nepal,then an indian a

从E85想到的乙醇汽油的问题
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85[@more@]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85E85 is usually used in engines modified to accept higher concentrations of ethanol. Such flexible-fuel engines are designed to run on any mixture of gasoline or ethanol with up to 85% ethanol by volume. The primary differences from non-FFVs is the elimination of bare magnesium, aluminum, and rubber parts in the fuel system, the use of fuel pumps capable of operating with electrically conductive (ethanol) instead of non-condu
乙醇汽油
看见一篇2002年的关于乙醇汽油的新闻,我就想在网上搜集一下相关的信息,没有想到,所有消息都是正面的,而且就几个负面的还都是几年前的帖子,还不能访问,所以就打算开个乙醇汽油专门讨论帖子。[@more@]"使用乙醇汽油,可以大幅度改善城市的空气质量。"安徽省发改委工业处副处长余要火介绍,按照专家测算,目前的城市污染有50%来源于汽车尾气,尾气中的两大有害物质为一氧化碳和碳氢化合物,相对于普通汽油,乙醇汽油可以让汽车尾气中一氧化碳含量下降到30%,碳氢化合物下降到10%,作用非常明显。--问题来了,下面的专家也是这
