再次推荐: There is no if

nickcheng — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 15:17:41 +0000

之所以是”再次”是因为我忘了是不是之前已经推荐过了. Ok, 就当之前推荐过吧, 再推荐一次!

那是还在大学的时候, 混论坛很流行FTP, 所以我也在自己电脑上架了一个FTP. 我的FTP上开放了一个文件夹叫”upload”, 权限设置的是所有人都可以读写, 是用来让别人给我传东西的.

某天, 在这个upload目录里, 我看到了这首歌. 当然, 我不知道是谁传的, 是不是给我的我也不知道(因为总有人用这个FTP做文件中转). 既然在我这里了, 那我当然不能客气, 于是这就是我第一次听这首歌的缘故了, 比较偶然的说.

第一次听这歌就有一种震撼的感觉, 一种被击中的感觉, 倒不是说什么身有所感, 我那时还没谈恋爱呢….=_=” 但这歌让我听的竟然有一种心碎的感觉, 太奇妙了简直. 从此我记住了一句英文:”If you die, so do I”.

我把歌词放上吧, 就是一个故事:

Remember the first time I told you “I love you”
It was raining hard and you never heard
You sneezed
And I had to say it over
I said “I love you”, I said
You didn’t say a word
You just held your hands
To my shining eyes
And I watched as the rain ran through your fingers
Held your hands
To my shining eyes
And smiled as you kissed me

” If you die”, you said
“So do I”, you said
And it starts the day you make the sign
Tell me I’m forever yours
And you’re forever mine
Forever mine…

” If you die”, you said
“So do I”, you said
And it starts the day you cross that line
Swear I will always be yours
And you’ll be always be mine
You’ll always be mine
Always be mine…

Remember the last time I told you I love you
It was warm and safe in a perfect world
You yawned
And I had to say it over
I said “I love you”, I said
You didn’t say a word
Just held your hands
To your shining eyes
And I watched as the tears ran through your fingers
Held you hands
To your shining eyes
And cried

” If you die”, you said
“So do I”, you said
But it ends the day you see how it is
There is no always, forever
Just this
Just this

” If you die”, you said
“So do I”, you said
But it ends the day you understand
There is no if
Just end
There is no if
Just end
There is no if

我对FourSquare的认识

简单的说, 4sq其实就是LBS+SNS. 吸引人的地方:

首先是好玩. 大家之前没有玩过类似的游戏
然后是游戏规则足够简单, 大家很容易就能参与其中
而且通过简单的操作还有可能得到真金白银的优惠
Badge机制可以刺激用户进行竞争, 提高参与度

用户可以从4sq获得:

成为Mayor有可能获得真金白银的奖励和优惠
有badge, 有荣誉感. 而且可以在系统中查看好友的时候看到, 刺激用户的竞争
可以获取某一地点的大众评价

用户只需要付出:

简单的Check.in动作
心情好可以再多写几句关于地点的心得

4sq的火爆就如上所述, 简单的参与机制, 有趣的规则, 激励措施, 用户还能获取需要的信息, 甚至还能得到真金白银的奖励, 这些都是4sq成功的必要条件.

而且近期有迹象表明, 4sq积累了大量的数据之后, 已经着手做推荐功能了. 当用户在某处check.in后, 4sq会根据地理位置为用户推荐可能的地点.

从运营角度来看, 目前4sq已经能形成一个简单的生态系统, 我猜测一下后续的事情:

平衡游戏规则, 让系统既能有效刺激, 又不带来很高门槛;
大量的BD工作, 联系更多的商家(或者直接找类似yelp的网站合作?)
还有就是我们可能猜测不到的一些事情了, 比如新功能?

目前我能想到的商业模式也就是4sq依靠积累的大量用户, 帮助一些商家做推广(优惠券)和广告, 以此获得收入.

单车

nickcheng — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:27:06 +0000

话说文森特老湿一时兴起(也许是酝酿已久了), 从沈老湿家中取得一辆也许被遗忘许久的来历复杂的山地单车.

经过了一番折腾, 在文森特老湿花费了百十大洋后, 终于得以实现自己的愿望, 然后就骑行25km.

这番折腾+骑行的结果就是–不给力! 文森特老湿对此单车单方面表示了不满, 他的臀部也提出了严正的抗议. 随后, 老湿对Giant ATX系列单车进行了试驾以后, 决定放弃现在这台来历复杂的山地单车, 而我暂时决定接手这台可怜的单车.

现在在对文森特老湿进行放毒, 让Y买Trek!!!

Google Map – display:none

nickcheng — Tue, 11 May 2010 13:43:16 +0000

使用Google Map时遇到一个问题. 我用Tab控件分别放置Google Map和数据, 当我切换到数据Tab后调整窗口的大小, 然后切换回地图的Tab, 这时, 地图会不见.

原来, 把Google Map放到一个DIV里, 当DIV被设置为”display:none”后, 浏览器会告诉Map API这个DIV的尺寸为0, 这时, API就会把地图的尺寸也设置为0.

解决方法有两个:

如果你的地图尺寸是确定的, 那么在建立地图的时候就指定上尺寸
如果你不确定地图的尺寸, 那么在重新显示地图的时候, 调用一下 map.checkResize() 方法

该死的头发

nickcheng — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 15:00:43 +0000

其实头发关系个人形象是很重要的一个因素. 但你需要相当的时间和耐心来呵护你的头发(怎么像洗发水广告?). 而当我一天天看着老婆为了自己的头发忙来忙去, 我就想放弃了……

如果不是因为那个重要的日子, 我真的是没耐心和我的头发斗争了~~~

基本决定完事儿了就去整个光头~~~

其实俺内心深处还是想长发呢……你说这人咋就这矛盾?

It’s too late to apologize

nickcheng — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:11:39 +0000

老婆看Gossip Girl的时候, 我听到一首不错的歌儿. 特意找来多听了几遍, 顺便share给大家.

Apologize – Timbaland

I’m holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I’m hearing what you say but I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around, and say…

That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I’d take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it’s nothing new – yeah yeah

I loved you with the fire red-
Now it’s turning blue, and you say…
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid…

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late whoa…..

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah-
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah-
I’m holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground…

金光灿灿“三十六条”，传说可以被忘记。

山西土里都是煤，你可千万莫惦记；

陕西地下流石油，和你又有啥关系？

造汽车，来沈阳？算你哥们儿有胆气！

山东钢铁映日红，全都并入正规军；

上海武汉搞航空，你在如来手心里；

开网吧，要注意，邻居万万别是陶然居，

嗨，陶然居。

快递别想发大财，那是咱邮政的好生意；

新能源别激动，要和央企捆一起；

三网合一别兴奋，第一个被融合的许是你；

做网站，要牢记，删帖快狠是纪律；

网游老板要数清，你婆婆到底在几个衙门里；

《新闻联播》必须看，重要讲话记心里；

CCTV要上贡，否则人民都恨你；

把你公司卖老外，搞掂商务部排第一；

要想安全活下去，千万别做大生意；

创业板在眼前，有人强要来入股，让你依来你就依，

嗨，你就依！

创业者要淡定，莫学Google耍脾气；

别拿自己当根葱，就当你是小商贩，见了城管要服气；

国家分钱不眼红，闷头干咱的小生意；

提高觉悟做准备，随时把公司献央企，

嗨，献央企！

以上二十一条的解释权归“有关部门”。

A new approach to China: an update[Z]

nickcheng — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:14:05 +0000

因为blogspot被墙, 为了让大家更方便看到, 我转帖了该文:

3/22/2010 12:03:00 PM

On January 12, we announced on this blog that Google and more than twenty other U.S. companies had been the victims of a sophisticated cyber attack originating from China, and that during our investigation into these attacks we had uncovered evidence to suggest that the Gmail accounts of dozens of human rights activists connected with China were being routinely accessed by third parties, most likely via phishing scams or malware placed on their computers. We also made clear that these attacks and the surveillance they uncovered—combined with attempts over the last year to further limit free speech on the web in China including the persistent blocking of websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Docs and Blogger—had led us to conclude that we could no longer continue censoring our results on Google.cn.

So earlier today we stopped censoring our search services—Google Search, Google News, and Google Images—on Google.cn. Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong. Users in Hong Kong will continue to receive their existing uncensored, traditional Chinese service, also from Google.com.hk. Due to the increased load on our Hong Kong servers and the complicated nature of these changes, users may see some slowdown in service or find some products temporarily inaccessible as we switch everything over.

Figuring out how to make good on our promise to stop censoring search on Google.cn has been hard. We want as many people in the world as possible to have access to our services, including users in mainland China, yet the Chinese government has been crystal clear throughout our discussions that self-censorship is a non-negotiable legal requirement. We believe this new approach of providing uncensored search in simplified Chinese from Google.com.hk is a sensible solution to the challenges we’ve faced—it’s entirely legal and will meaningfully increase access to information for people in China. We very much hope that the Chinese government respects our decision, though we are well aware that it could at any time block access to our services. We will therefore be carefully monitoring access issues, and have created this new web page, which we will update regularly each day, so that everyone can see which Google services are available in China.

In terms of Google’s wider business operations, we intend to continue R&D work in China and also to maintain a sales presence there, though the size of the sales team will obviously be partially dependent on the ability of mainland Chinese users to access Google.com.hk. Finally, we would like to make clear that all these decisions have been driven and implemented by our executives in the United States, and that none of our employees in China can, or should, be held responsible for them. Despite all the uncertainty and difficulties they have faced since we made our announcement in January, they have continued to focus on serving our Chinese users and customers. We are immensely proud of them.
