Photos: 自己無聊騎車衝木柵

前天(星騎六)無聊就沿著水源校區那邊的河濱公園單車專用道騎到底
發現往左通??~好我忘了, 只記得有一家即將開幕的家樂福...以後可以騎車到家樂福耶
往右通木柵
在木柵看到了這台廣告車...

大師啊~po個連結到你的個版吧Posted by Hello

對了, 這次又再次證明了我們成功是台北市最小的高中這個事實...
我經過景美時, 發現他們光警衛室就至少是成功警衛室的4倍大XD
校園就更不用說了...

A Thought...The consequences of BK's free drink refills

1.you prefer Burger King over the "m"
2.you talk your self into buying a drink, even if you're not thirsty
3.you decide to eat in instead of bringing the food home- just for the refills
4.you try every flavor, coke, sprite, tea, orange soda, ...
5.you drink until you feel like your bladder is going to burst
6.you tell your self:"No, it won't burst, it's made of transitional epithilium...", and you still keep on drinking
7.your bladder starts to hurt, and you thought:"come on, just a little more, I payed for this."
8.after you finally leave, all you can do is constantly running in and out of the restroom
9.and your bladder still hurts baddly...

Alright, just an exaggerated joke, I didn't experence this in person :)
But you've got to have some self control before walking into BK.

Notice: Yeah! This site has had more then 1000 visitors!

Visitor flow has been growing since I've opened about 2 months ago.
Although I, my self still constitutes a part of that number, it's still feels kind of good.
Intrestingly, most of you visitor, are my classmates, seeking for those Biochem HW questions.
Wish you would also find my other posts intresting, as I try to keep the quality of the blog, and try to make it better.

心得: 跟著單車社殺山路

今天是入社以來第一次跟單車社的同學們出去騎車。因為自己只有學生車,只好借社車。騎好車殺山路豈止一個爽自可以形容!過去都是自己一個人,沒技巧,騎便 宜的登山車,靠蠻力,又騎又牽車的。現在車好、變速好,再加上有技巧的踩踏和新的觀念,輕輕鬆鬆,不必下來牽車就殺上去了。中途下車的路段,除了是大家集 體休息或等候面的同學外也只有拍照時才會下車。


great scenary Posted by Hello /curving road Posted by Hello

「騎山路上坡路段,不要勉強自己,慢慢騎就好了。」
其實我過去最缺乏的,就是要「保持體力」的觀念吧!過去都是用蠻力硬踩,快速耗費體力,踩踏又沒效率,不但一下子就累了,大部分的能量也是平白的浪費掉了。

looking down from the top Posted by Hello
另 外,以前都覺得能在陡坡尚祈車繼續踩踏前進而不必牽車的人很厲害;其實是靠「好車」的加持才做的到的(當然,若在山坡上還能用高速檔前進那就太強了)。 「好車」騎起來真的感覺很棒。檔位多,變速反應極快,煞車靈敏,車價輕……只是一萬塊以上的價格真的很恐怖。但這下真正體會到consumer report雜誌所說的:「若要買車絕不要在低價大賣場(discount store)買!」

好啊!明天學生車衝鶯歌!

Biochem HW of Oct 21

1. How many kinds of different protein folds may be produced by a protein coil/chain with 5 pairs(a total of 10) of sulfhydryl groups?

and the HW of Tue is here
(or just look further down the page...)
(重要:please click the comment link)

段考期~~

最近考試一科接著一科到來
人體在壓力下免疫力是會下降的
再加上東北季風
很容易感冒
大家要保重身體呵

(expecially you..., if you are reading)

心情: 學校的課外活動...

奇怪,學校的課外活動總喜歡辦在段考前後。
難道是說是我們考段考的time range拉得太長,
以致於主辦單位隨便挑都會衝到考試?
但以這次的「醉月湖音樂會」和上個學期的「藝術節」為例,
都是在段考2週前啊。
難道是以「閒人才能參加」為條件,避免人數過多?
不會吧?人少就沒意義啦!

好吧,實在想不出什麼合理的解釋。

像我這個段考時間各科打散的人應該就是所謂的「閒人」吧!
只是,「閒人」不多,根據上次去聽「藝術節」的音樂會的經驗,
其實孤單一個人去也怪無聊的。
人類果然是群體動物...

~~ㄟ,我現在還在blog不就代表我太閒了?糟糕~~

Comments: On our biochem class, *sigh...

Just read the first 3 chapters of the biochem text book. (will, of course not every single word...) And I must say, Biochem is quite an intresting part of science, if it isn't for that guy who teaches poorly and totally screwed it up. Yes, it's not only intresting, it's a hot topic, and still developing, helping the advancement of biology and medicine and eclipcing traditional chemistry. In the words of the Wired magazine, Biochem is still wired, but that guy is tired. I guess I'd be reading the book myself in the future, and attending class just to know what's going into the exams and what's next week's home work.

You may be good at research, but if you are not intrested in teaching or find it annoying, then quit, just do the "glorious research" of yours. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Biochem HW of Oct 19

1.課本:
ch2: 2,3,8,16
ch3: 10,12,14

2.Why in SDS-page the small molecules come out first while in gel filtration the small molecules come out last, although they both utilize polyacrylamide gel.
(Tip: check the difference of their sieving effect. SDS-page 在課本p92; gel filtration=Size-exclusion chromatography, 在課本p90~91)

3. Polystyrene resin is a strong cation exchanger, what is it's structure? How does it bind with a sulfonic acid group?
(Tip: check the Merck Index, or search the trademarks: "Bio-Rad AG 50" or "Dowex 50")

4.the problem on the handout p11~Arrange the order of elution...

5. The structure of Ninhydrin?
(Icetimerの更正:The structure of Ninhydrin and how it reacts with NH2 of amine)
(anyways, 我也漏了後半題但我印完了, 算了)

*星期四給那張練習題の解答
*And I still don't know where!
------------------------
alright, if I want to learn some stuff, I need to forget how bad he teaches; but focus on what I can get from him, no matter how less.
But hay, he's better this time!

Great boost of free e-mail space

Since Google came out with the ultimate G-mail beta
which provides 1Gig mail storage for free
it suddenly became every free e-mail provider's pain in the ass
and then there was a big frenzy of free storage space up grades
first it was Yahoo mail, which grew from 5MB(or 6? I forgot) to 100MB
then Hotmail, from 2MB(or 3? I don't use Hotmail, I'm not sure) to 250MB
And then all along G-mail is still in beta
So thank Google for making other companies provide better service ^^

Alright, now what surprises me is that
with no hype, no publicity,
My Netscape mail is silently upgraded from 5MB to 250MB!!
And Netscape mail's site still says 5MB!!

Which reminds me of my Yahoo mail upgrade
Yahoo mail users of the whole world got the upgrade in about early July (I guess)
While Yahoo Taiwan said we should wait till the end of August.
When I saw the news, I was a little mad at first (since I also use a Yahoo Taiwan account)
And I logged on Yahoo mail to check
What I found was some kind of glich or something,
but I got the upgrade just as fast as the users in the US
while all the other friends using Yahoo Taiwan's mail was still stuck with single digit MBs!!

Although I don't have a G-mail invitation
I guess I'm always the lucky ones who get the early upgrades (lol)

But really, I rarely use more then 7MB of my Yahoo account (which I use the most)

Thought: Learning in this age

Just got a thought...

when you have questions on your studies
there are always those guys with photographic memory
who can give you an answer to your questions right away

But when ever people come and ask me
I'd usually say
"Wait, I guess I've saw that some where..."
or
"I think I know where to find the answer..."
once I learned something
I don't remember a lot of stuff in detail
but I remember where to find it

wonder which is better?
knowing where to get what you want? or photographic memory?

but of course, I can only play my trick in this age...
I mean, if I live in an age without libraries or google
I'd certeinly be trash...

On music software

Have been using Sony's Sonicstage instead of Apple's iTunes for the past weak
just for the eye candy...
I admit that iTunes is still the best in ease of use and functionality
but after using it for a year
I guess I'm a little sick and tired of that "brushed metal" look

Looking for new stuff to play with
I even downloaded Windows media Player 10
2 days ago
it was quite fun, with color changer and play speed changers
And I thought:
This is a Real player killer
But anyways, even if Windows media Player 10 didn't come out
I guess that crap would just die by itself...

After 2 hours, I decided that it still isn't easy enough to use
and despite the color changer and stream lined user interface
I still like the look of Sonicstage
LOL
Sony does know how to make eye candy's
and the easy of use is good--only Apple can do better

心情: Trying not to think about it...

Oh boy
I guess I have a tendancy to think too much when I'm alone
and usually thinking about bad things

Funny that I can seem all that happy and optimistic in front of others
But extreamly melancholy on my own

Joined the bike club today
just to find more friends
and find stuff to do on the weekends
cycling with others seems healthier then moaning for yourself alone in the library
busy doing something would let me forget about it...
at least while I'm doing it...
which means I could be temporally be happy for a while
expecially bike riding or swimming(like I did yesterday)
feeling the speed of the air or the water flowing past me
Guess I'm using the feel of speed for what people use drugs for-- to forget about the sad stuff
Speedaholic I am.

Speaking of addictions
The volume of my clie(which I use as a walkman) is constantly rising
frequency of listen also rising...
musicaholic I am, also.

Damn, why can't I just enjoy life?

隨筆亂寫: 年輕

缺乏經驗,知識不足
除了多多吸收,努力成長外
只能憑著認真的態度
和一股衝勁
揮灑青春的活力
闖出自己的一片天。

Hate post: What an asshole!

今天那傢伙(who?我同學都知道吧!但在網路上指名罵人是會被告的...所以還是不要指名是誰, 發洩一下情緒就好)真的超臭屁的
教的不好, 人人嫌, 竟然還能那麼臭屁?!

為何說他臭屁?
See for your self.
What he said today:
"...好那這樣大家懂嗎?
什麼?不懂? 那我也沒辦法啦.
這麼簡單的東西也不懂, 是怎麼進臺大的?
...
你們浪費我太多時間了, 我還有很多是要做!"

什麼?教我們是浪費你的時間?
既然你那麼偉大, 時間那麼寶貴, 那就不要來開課, 去做你的偉大事業好了
反正也沒幾個學生覺得你教的好.

心情: Tonight...

Have been anticipating tonight for days
But things just don't go the way you want them to

With this suddenly obtained free time
I suddenly don't know what to do
since I don't assign 2 tasks to the same time period

Went to renew my swimming pass for another year
I guess there's no better way to pick your self up when you feel down

After some physics problems(for the next day's damn test)
I went to the pool and dive in
And rats, I feel weak after not swimming for the past month
Right foot hurting from yesterday's bike ride
Left leg's gastrocnemius also starting to hurt because it's keeping up with the Joans...
But so much is going on in my mind that I not only forgot about it but can't even swim in a stright line, bumping left into people and right to the lean dividers
Hay, what's going on with me?

Oh boy, so much for "the big day"
Once again, all I can do is keep on waiting

Maybe I am a fool...

Tuesday, October 12, 2004

心情:big day for me I guess

This is it, don't freak out at the last moment again...

Didn't some one said: " If you play it safe in life, you've decided that you don't want to grow anymore."?

Wish me luck, if you are a friend who knows what's going on... :p

Comment: Are we a SINGLE organism?

Wow, never thought of that, but we could actually be seen as an "aggregate" of organisms, instead of simplly one organism. Why? Because we have all sorts of bacteria, fungi and other organisms living in our body. And the strange part is that we only have several trillion human cells in our body, while the bacteria cells in our body has a population of more than 100 trillion cells - many times more than human cells. So we really should inclulde the other residents when we mention a "human body". Although revolutionary, but it's a quite simple thought. Neat, isn't it? Now, again, why we haven't thought about that before?

See: Wired News: People Are Human-Bacteria Hybrid
And hold your chin tight--in case you're so surprised that it falls to the ground.

Biochem HW of Oct 12

1.p10~What is the pI of the dipeptide Lys-Arg (The three pKa of Lysine are 2.2, 9.0& 10.5 and those for Arginine 2.2, 9.0& 12.5)?
(我也不會算耶,課本好像只有教amino acid的 pI算法 (p84)没教dipeptide的算法)
(~今天(Oct 15)老師草草率率的教了一下...)

2.What is beta oxidation? What is the outcome of the beta oxidation of Serine?(Note: Thr Trp can also undergo beta oxidation)
>為何我查到的beta oxidation 是lipid的反應?

3. Find the dielectric constant of Methanol, Benzene, Acetone; compare them with water(dielectric constant=80) (and discover the magnificance of water~like, yeah right)
>tip: check here
|Methanol (77° F) 32.6
|Benzene (68° F) 2.3
|Acetone (77° F) 20.7 / (127° F) 17.7 / (32° F) 1.0159

心情;剛班完宿舍 ...

這次搬進宿舍真是風風雨雨阿∼
前天繳完錢後高高興興的來到了位於上個學期住的男5舍隔壁的男3舍。
找到教官後發生了我被分配到的床位有人住的烏龍(見之前的文章)
換了房間後,又重打了2把鑰匙,花了120元,然後回到房間,發現我打的2把鑰匙中100元的那隻竟然沒有用,因為鎖壞了!
今天扛著大包小包,正要進宿舍大門時,妹妹一針見血的問了一句;“你有沒有帶衣服?“
這才想到我那最大箱的,裝滿衣服和毛巾的塑膠櫃還躺在我那好幾公里外的家中的房間呢!
只好把東西拿到宿舍房間一放就走人,跟著家人逛大賣場,然後回家T_T

回到家後,把那該死的塑膠櫃五花大綁,又坐車到基隆市區,上了客運,然後再度回到宿舍
於是乎
又發現,筆袋和衛生紙沒帶...XD

整理房間後發現又需要檯燈和網路線
以前住男五時這兩樣和鑰匙都是現成的說...

接著又發現室友擺了一隻鑰匙在我桌上,說是多的房間鑰匙...
好,我今天學到了一見事;“要打鑰匙錢先搞清楚是否需要,不是教官說可能要,就急著去打“

前人留下來的東西非常多
有馬克杯、益智遊戲、玩具熊、電池一堆、笛子、音樂譜架、直立式電風扇、床墊、枕頭、網球、一匙靈...
列不完啦!
有些保留,有些丟掉,但宿舍走廊上的垃圾桶很快就被我一個人塞爆了。

好,接著找同學一同跑光華,買滑鼠(舊的太爛了,你動它,游標不一定會動)、網路線、和麥克風(for skype)
回來後,竟發線宿網這學期開始要註冊才能使用,然後註冊完要等1~2天
等“人“來幫你處理申請了資料...
(目前在使用同學的 apple ibook在他的房間blogging,mac OS很棒,但還是不習慣...)

有網路後我就會馬上灌Skype的
但不知那是何時...

我の宿舍〜 T_T

原本很高興終於有了宿舍、去向教官報到 ...

却発現我の床位被黒走了!
到房間一看,都是東西、很明顕有人「正在」住那,這那多の東西看起来不是短時間内搬得走的

Oh,還要多久我才能終結通車生活?

today's biochem HW Oct 7(更新&除錯完成)

1.Which amino acid has the most chiral centers?

2.p9~How many optical isomers for arginine(Arg)and tryptophan(Trp)

3.How does the amino acid Pye control hair color?(tip: Pye is a precursor of melanin)
^sorry, but I strongly suspect that it should be Phe, not Pye
(Phe-->Tyr--> Melanin)
4.糖精(saccharin)のstructure?

5. How does sickle cell anemia occur?

XD. What does "eat your heart out" mean? ^^

脚踏車衝醫學院!

今天吃完晩飯後,吃飽没事幹,就騎著脚踏車往醫學院衝,想測測看自己能多快到達。
一出大門口就照著校車の路線、往大安森林公園方向走,然後再往左走仁愛路。一路上車非常多,就連我這小小的bike也被塞住、走走停停。而且紅緑燈超多的。我想我若在這種鬼地方開車大概会很痛苦。(泰國好像更惨...)
走走停停,中徒還到多花2分到別の地方看看,結果到達目的地還是只要 19分 35秒,比昨天坐校車快 20分耶!但那様的塞車状況在校車上度過還是較好。

article at Wired.com

Comment: Palmone Tungsten T5 may come out next week

Updated Tungsten, Treo set for release | CNET News.com
So much for our long wait for the Tungsten T5, it doesn't run OS6, but for a simple reason.
So this is the reason why NO ONE, not even palmone, wants to make models running palm OS 6(colbat)-->It's desktop software dosn't support macs! Ha! Ha!
Palmsource, are you reading this?

But other then the OS, it's still a disapointing handheld, at least to me, so I won't even consider it unless my NX dies.

First of all, that Tungsten E case is ugly.
Second, still no built in WIFI, and only a single expansion slot. Which means that you can't download stuff to a card.
Third, can't they just dump real player/kinoma and write a better audio/video player?
Last, all of the above are not a problem on the clie NX(with a second slot for WIFI) or TH series, so how come Palmone still prefers to play catch up even after Sony left the market? Waiting for HP+Microsoft to eat them up?
