Why got tired so easily

似乎现在稍微坐久点就感觉腰酸背痛的... 对于台式显示器倒是一直不喜欢的,看得眼睛难受,要是再没得换,看来也只能拿家里的LCD去了。
还有便是每天的班车,虽然来回都可以睡好一会儿,不过还是不喜欢汽车。搬去滨江?买房?... ...

这个星期学英语的态度也没上星期来的积极,兴趣降低,似乎特别容易觉得累,不容易集中精神。
Time's limited. 又想学点英语,又想多看点技术的东西,可是晚上的这几个小时还是太快,没有很好的计划。
经常想着周末可以多用些时间在这上面,其实不然,会做些零星的事情,人也容易放松。
当天的事当天做,听上去很容易,做起来似乎就不是那么回事了。

在公司加班到7点多,出来去坐公交。走在路上,看了看夜空,突然想,如果这个时候可以有个人聊聊多好,即使打个电话也好。可惜没有。
没有就没有吧,一切总还得继续,听听音乐,当作放松。
这又不禁让人想起来,恋爱图个啥,婚姻又图个啥。也许是我们需要一比独特的精神财富,成为另一半,成为father。
试想没有这两样东西,生活应该可以照样精彩的继续,但是没有人放弃去追求它们。

婚姻是有条件的,或许也是有目的的;但爱情是无价的。

What have done these days

It seems that BIRT is a easy to learn and great reporting tool. I designed several reports with it.
Not very difficult and I also used its shared libraries feature, very cool. But we met a hard time of the drill through report, which also used shared libraries.
Everything goes well of each single report in BIRT Designer but failed when combining them through drill down,either deploying to Pentaho server.
I totally had no idea of how to do with this issue at first. Then I got FileMon (designed by Sysinternal) to find out where the Pentaho try to get the libraries files and images.
Sounds interesting, the directory is {pentaho-demo/jboss/bin}. Well, Pentaho could show the report after I place necessary files into that directory.
But our PM said place file into the jboss/bin is not a good idea. So, we need to keep researching.

We configure LDAP login module for authentication In the Pentaho GA-1.2.0. But now there must be local user whose name should be identical with LDAP user name.
It said in the Pentaho later release, there are several extended login
module can auto synchronize local user with remote server.
Sounds great. Wish I got time to test it.

I also got start to use Ant in project. I found it's a so good tool that every web application project should include it!
The process of deployment turn out to be very easy as long as project structure doesn't change a lot.
It seems that core tasks of Ant are a little limited. so how to pull into more tasks?
Maybe I also need to study Maven 2 because it's very popular these days after all.

Hope Genuine MS OS in lower price

I started to use Vista OS again and it indeed a fantastic Operation System I even experienced (And I also wish I will get Apple machine in future. ^^ ).
And it just has 30 days to use. What a pity! I do want to get a genuine copyright instead of cracking it.
But a genuine one is tooooo expensive for ordinary Chinese guys like me. I am sure most of us will still use a cracked Vista.
So I hope a much lower price one. Maybe just around two or three hundred RMB or even lower.
I will buy in that case and I think many persons would like to get a genuine one with that low price.
I don't know much thing about business trade so I don't why not to low the price of OS software.
Maybe this is just daydream......

Feel extra tired these days. I need dig into JBoss Portal and Pentaho to figure out following two issues:
 > Why need a Pentaho user coresponding with MS Active Directory domain users.
     And now I just want to auto-create a Pentaho user if it's not existed in Pentaho memory database.
 > Image in BIRT report can't show up when integrated it into Pentaho.(Except use http URI value for the image.)
    I couldn't find other guys encountered this issue till now.
Well, the most disappointed thing is that our working machine is CRT! My eyes felt tired after I look for not very long time.
Wish a change......

I must say I felt fascinating in my deep heart when got a call from Kiko.
And I think that's enough. :)

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'

This was a quote from the film <The Shawshank Redemption>, which made me think a lot.
Its main theme is hope. And recently I also think about it. Because I wonder almost everything should be possible and you should not lose faith.
It's much worth to take two hours in watching this film and also for more than once.
This time I took a good rest and feel peaceful.

上星期参加林健的婚礼,顺便在逛了下苏州。城市很有特色,蛮值得一去。
所谓下有苏杭,江南水乡,确实名副其实。酒席对于我们的也算简单,喝酒,道喜,吃了拿着喜糖就回来了。
只是每次参加婚礼都是很羡慕新人的,空气里洋溢着喜气;有情人终成眷属,爱情终有了归宿。

For the iteration in this week:
We didn't have much things to do.I spend a little time in learning JBoss Portal and found a way of  drilling down in current report.
We also created a Ant script to deploy Pentaho server and PP report. Ant is indeed interesting. :)
Probably every project need a build script.

And this week I started to listen to Chinese Business Radio.
I think a simple reason was that I could follow a part of content, especially the Studio Class Room.
I wish I would continue to this radio program and learn some thing.
