as of old

my brain devastatingly stuck when writing the purchasing mgnt paper

post something just for rebreathing a bit

Turning Twenty One

Finally I turned twenty one. Thx for all the birthday wishes. I've had a good time.

Best wishes to u all too. I hope you had the time of your life.

三月中旬

剛定了復活節去廈門的機票。記得從大一開始的復活節就一直說要去，三年之后終于要成行了。想起前一陣聽朋友說起在鼓浪嶼若是不會說廈門話就要被宰，以至于我迫不及待想見識一下鼓浪嶼人民的忽悠能力。

最近一切都挺好，不過在網上時間倒是不多。前幾個禮拜一直忙著考試和作業，過幾天終于可以稍稍輕松一陣。不忙了就特別想找本書看看。除了課本，想來最近這一年拿起書的時間真是不多。雖說不玩游戲不網聊，卻也不知道把時間花在了哪里。

今年五月五號全部考試就結束了，早到讓人一時反應不過來。還有兩三個月功夫夏天又要來了，這一年過的好像很快，來來往往的，總算是過去了不少事情。希望大家都能一切順利，許久不見的朋友們，請多保重！

'Cause people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

因為人們總是相信

他們, 正在出發, 向著生命中如仲夏般的時光
但你和我, 我們活著直到離開
世界卻依然旋轉
我們不知道這是為何

為何, 為何, 為何, 為何

How to settle double router installation problem

I came across some problems while trying to make two routers working together at home. I've got a wired router and a wireless router. Yet I cannot only use the wireless router since the installation of wired router was required by the Internet service carrier. Thereby I was about to put the wired router downstairs as a primary router connected to WAN (Internet) and the wireless router upstairs as a receiver/transmitter. In this way I will be able to use both cable and wireless internet at home. However it doesn't work only if I set the routers as follows.

1. Set up the primary router (wired) using any IP address (usually 192.168.0.1) and turn on the DHCP function (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

2. Set up the wireless router and plug it with the cable from the primary router. Notice that the cable should be plugged in a LAN port (not the WAN port which usually located separately next to the LAN ports).

3. Set the IP address of the wireless router differently from the wired router to avoid IP conflict. In this case, the IP address for the wireless router must differ from 192.168.0.X (I set it as 192.168.1.1 for for convenience).

4. Turn off DHCP function of the wireless router in order to avoid duplicated IP assignment.

The preceding procedures turn off the routing function of the wireless router but only use it as a wireless transmitter. In this way, IP assignment conflict can be avoided while connecting both wired and wireless devices to the Internet.
