来美国的一年多里，在实验室里，学到了很多的东西，得到了实验室同事和同学的很多帮助。尤其是从老板身上学到了很多做人与做学问的道理。首先在做人上，理解了为什么为人正直是处事的根本，原因是人与人交流是建立在诚信的基础上，而诚信的直接做法就是正义、直率的对待他人。其次，在美国的社会生活中要建立自由、民主和平等的思想，先进的思想才能带来创造力和灵感。再次，看待问题和困难时要从多个角度来想，有时候换到另外一个角度可能就豁然开朗了。最后是在做学问上，从老板对我的严格要求上，我已经深深体会到做学问的不易之处，除了科研方法的严谨与实验数据处理技巧外，甚至要注意到在论文撰写中的每一个单词、每一句话，不仅仅要从语法上讲得通顺，而且要注意到逻辑表达的准确性，让我受益非浅。虽然在这一年多的学习和工作中没有在老板的指导下发表任何论文，但是在老板的指导下学习了以下内容：
我没有离开，我还在，还好我还在。
用 Mac OS X 已经半年多了，总想总结总结，就把我的纠结与不纠结都纠结的写在这里吧，给自己的一个理由，已经折腾过的理由。
Macbook 真的很适合科研和学习使用，至少对于我这样的理工科的很适合。以下的推荐不仅仅是我自己的摸索也参考了诸多网站和大神的列表。国内用的比较多的网站就是 MacGG 了，不要和我说版权问题，相信很多人和我一样，买软件之前先用用 x 版的试用下。
这是一个令人悲伤的故事，自从狗儿们被称为狗，它们就已经变成了人类的朋友。一同抵御外敌、相依为命。可是有一天人们不再需要他们的保护了，狗的就有了其他的身份：食、色。它们没有选择离开人类回归自然，不是因为它们回归自然后生存不下去（我见过的狗基本上都属于杂食，吃草估计也可以生存），也不是因为它们没有这个智商，而是它们选择了陪伴。这是一个客观的原因。狗的祖祖辈辈都是跟人类一起生活着，虽然有过流浪，有过被捕杀和驱逐，但是它们都是围绕在人的周围。如果真的像科幻电影里的那样有一天《人猿崛起》，我更加可能相信的是崛起的主角是狗们。因为狗与人类共同生活了这么久，相比猿类狗比他们更加了解人类。还好，直到今天狗还是人类的好朋友，可能关系更加好了。
这个话题太大了，不是我这样的小小菜鸟可以发表公识的见解的，所以，这里我只是说我个人的感受，情况如有特殊相似，纯属「巧合」。
没有人在一开始就会对某个科研方向感兴趣的，每个人都有一个探索的过程，当然有的「人才」从小就有志向做什么的就排除了。从而，无论大家想在科研的中获得什么 or 为科研贡献什么的时候都需要考虑的一个问题是：我要做什么？
我要做什么 这个问题可能人生于斯世一生要求解的问题之一，但是在科研的道路上这个却是要首先要确定的问题。下面有几个途径可以快速的明确这个问题的答案：
I don’t know what support EBATES to offer so much discount for online shopping, but I really get some checks back~ Cool!

The NCAR Command Language (NCL) is the coolest graphics tool I’ve ever seen. NCL has robust file input and output. It can read and write netCDF-3, netCDF-4 classic, netCDF-4, HDF4, binary, and ASCII data. It can read HDF-EOS2, HDF-EOS5, GRIB1, GRIB2, and OGR files. Though I don’t know most of the format above, but I saw its perfect plot on other one’s paper, so I decide to install it on my Macbook with Mac OS X 10.9.4.
最近在看「囚徒健身」，因为相摘抄一点笔记所以才发现原来iBook为了保护版权和避免抄袭，限制了一次能复制的文本内容（多少个字的限制不记不清了），这种机制是好的，但是并不是所有的情况都适合，经过搜索终于找到一个能够在iBook里复制较多文本的办法如下：
As a newer to Mac OS X, I don’t know how to uninstall a package as I did on the Windows. Someone may tell me to directly delete the app and it will be uninstalled, however, from my experience with Linux distributions, I feel that may not true. So, I did some research and found that there are a lot of methods about how to uninstall an application on Mac OS cleanly.
Do you want to risk you data on the whole Macbook hard disk? I
don’t think anyone want that risk. So, it’s sweet that Apple provide
the Time Machine freely, what we need is only an external storage
disk, for example a portable hard drive or a cluster of hard drive. I
bought a 2 Tb West Digital external hard drive for my Mac. Because
it was already formatted for Mac OS, I only plugin it and follow the
instructions of Time Machine and all is done, including the
encryption of the whole disk. The encryption really took a long time,
which is about 20 hours, but that’s all it cost.
I spent nearly 4 hours to search, setting up, and search and setting
up on Emacs and Aquamacs. That is not something big as I did
before, but today I figure out one thing: You can learn, study, watch
and admire others ways of dealing with something, but never do your
stuff exactly the same with them. What you really need is having
useful tips in mind and working out your own ideas, then implement
them immediately without any hesitation. You may lose, you may succeed
and you will grow up.
I have tried a lot times on Emacs both on my Archlinux and my
Macbook, I even tried to get used to its org-mode to manage my
daily life, but I failed. It is really complex and annoying to setting
everything up to your habit or your perfect mind. After dealing with
the .emacs and .emacs.d files and folders together with many
plugins, I got a workable set of tools to handle various files (mostly
text files). But I always complain Emacs about the slow speed of
and screen flash on starting up, especially using its GUI model. So,
I learned about its daemon-mode, which works well under command line
environment. And, it also works excellent on my Archlinux +
Awesome PC. However, the annoying icons on the dock nearly drives me
crazy.
I’ve tried XMind and FreeMind, but I cannot compare these two fairly. As for FreeMind is a free open source software, although XMind also has a free version, yet I even cannot export a PDF version of my mind map for the free version. There is some cracks for XMind, see Do Something and Hacklog, which is hated by the developers of XMind, they even inserted a f__king sentence. Finally, I choose to use FreeMind only for mind mapping. For retina display the suite of icons are not that clear, which is a bit pity hoping it will be updated soon.
Yes, XMind can draw some flow chart, considering the export limitation, I replaced it with other software. I list some of them:
I need to read some scientific papers and add some notes on the pdf files, I test 4 tools:
As a lot of people recommended, I chose iTerm 2 as my main terminal under OS X. There are 3 features that I care about:
Ctr + D or Ctr + Shift + D will split the window horizontally or vertically, and Ctr + T will create another new tab, and the switch between them is convenient Ctr + [ or ] Ctr + { or } Command + 1, 2, 3, just try that, it is cool.Command + Enter.Blog is a public text platform, while Diary is a private
shell, I need both. Last post I took down the settings for an
automatically post and publish blog tools, this time I also set up
an automatic diary tools on OS X or Linux. Since my working
platform changed to OS X, I hope it will also help on a Linux
environment.
The old to post on Octopress is slow with much code to input, so I
need quickly to post what I want. I searched on Google and the do
have someone catch the same idea~
