Transcending Ordinary 超越平凡

The big event this weekend was the Soapbox race sponsored by Red Bull in Dolores Park.  There were some 75k people there and 35 soapbox cars.  We got there after maybe the 3-4 car started and I stayed till the end.  There were tons of people there and maybe 4 big displays mirroring the event.  I was able to shoot decent video from a few of them, though the last one didn’t turn out well at all, but was my favorite skit/run put together by the Star War’s team.  Here are a few pictures of the event, along with a video I uploaded to YouTube .大事件是这个周末的比赛肥皂盒由红牛在多洛雷斯园。有一些人有75k和35肥皂箱车。我们到了那里后，也许是3-4车开始和我住到年底。共有吨人们也许第4大显示器镜像事件。我能打出象样的视频从一个少数人，但最后一个没有变成以及所有，但我喜爱的小品/运行提出的星球大战的球队。这里有一些照片的事件，以及视频我上传到 YouTube 。

Well I arrived on tuesday, to start my first day of work here at Bebo on wednesday那么我到星期二，我开始第一天的工作在这里Bebo则称星期三

After taking the Bart from the airport and walking a few blocks, I arrived at Bayside Village .  As far as corporate appartments go, I must admit I was pretty dissapointed with the inside of my apartment.  I guess I’ve gotten used to things like corian countertops, walk in closets, hardwood floors, etc. from my house in DC, or my last corporate apartment in KC.  All that aside, the location is really all that matters, and that is superb.  On the short walk to work I pass the Giants stadium, a borders, whole foods, great resturants, a museum, caltrain station, zipcar lot…  Here are a few quick pictures upon my arrival:在考虑的巴特由机场和步行几个街区，我来到湾畔村。至于企业的公寓去，我必须承认我很dissapointed内与我的公寓。我想我已经习惯像丽耐台面，走在厕，硬木地板，等从我的房子在DC ，或我国企业去年在KC公寓。所有这一切之外，位置确实是所有事项，这是极好。论短步行到工作，我通过巨人体育场，一个边界，整个食品，伟大的resturants一个博物馆，加州火车车站， zipcar很多...这里有一些快速的图片后我到达：

Wow, as I consider ways websites try to build competitive advantages that are not easily replicated, one of the biggest leverages their size/money to create another advantage.  Here’s another brilliant move by Google, read the AP article here.哦，我考虑如何网站试图建立的竞争优势，不容易复制，其中一个最大的利用其大小/钱再创建新的优势。这里的另一个辉煌的举动谷歌阅读日的文章在这里。

They’ve launched a Satellite into space today to capture imagery data, better then their current provider.他们已经发射了一颗卫星送入太空今日数据捕捉的图像，更好地然后他们目前供应商。

I was listening to a podcast about Google in Asia and wasn’t sure how well they might compare with local search companies like Bidu going forward.  Well, rather then indexing the data of others for search, they are gaining an important data source themselves that will certainly provide another strong competitive advantage.我是听播客大约谷歌在亚洲和不知道如何比较它们可能与当地的搜索公司如百度向前发展。嗯，而不是索引的数据他人的搜索，他们获得的一个重要数据源本身肯定会提供了另一种强大的竞争优势。

The last one came last week in the form of a web browser, Chrome .  Many were quick to point out its inability to drive revenue and that it wasn’t necessary in a world of IE’s, Firefox’s, Safari’s, etc., however it further adds capabilities/opportunities to an emerging company who could use it to springboard into other business areas like office, desktop, even OS.最后一次是上周形式的网络浏览器， 铬 。许多人很快指出它无法驱动器的收入和认为没有必要在世界上的IE浏览器的，火狐， Safari的，等等，然而，它进一步增加了能力/机会，一个新兴的公司谁可以使用它来跳板到其他商业领域一样办公，台式机，甚至操作系统。

Ok, I think most tech guys people have a handful of domains registered.  Ya never know when you might actually get the time to use one right?  Well I’ve registered quite a few over the years, unfortunately not all in the same place, and not all updated before their expiration好吧，我想大多数高科技家伙人民有少数域名注册。娅永远不知道当你实际上可能获得的时间使用正确的呢？我已经注册了不少多年来，不幸的是并非所有的在同一地点，并非所有更新届满之前

I sat next to a virologist on my flight to Bejing and we began speaking of genetics, then viruses and it set me on an enlightening train of thought.我坐在旁边的病毒学家我飞往北京，我们开始讲遗传学，然后病毒和它集箱的启发思路。 I travel to Thailand to visit my father who is very sick.我前往泰国访问我的父亲是谁病得很厉害。 After viruses, we spoke of cancer and I conveyed my understanding of cancer as a cellular process by which one random cell, though some fluke, has a variation and though the normal process of mitosis, splits to new cells, also with this genetic anomoly.病毒后，我们以癌症和我转达我的理解癌症细胞的过程其中随机细胞，虽然有些侥幸，有一个变化，虽然正常的有丝分裂过程，分裂新的细胞，也与此基因异常。 As this process repeats, soon these mutant cells become more then a localized variation of a few cells.随着这一进程重复，很快这些突变的细胞变得更加然后局部变化的几个细胞。 Eventually this occurrence matures to cancer.最终成熟，发生这种癌症。

Man, where do I start.人，在那里我开始。 Well I’ve come to the realization that many others have and that is that Ruby just doesn’t scale as easily as other available languages nor does it have the polished feel of something like Java or C. Sure, it is much faster to develop with, when you’re not debugging that is.那么我来认识到许多其他国家，那就是红宝石只是规模并不一样容易其他可用的语言也不会有磨光的东西感觉像Java或C当然，这是更快发展同时，你不调试的。 For someone that wants a fast, out of the box framework well wired to object oriented database hooks and MVC it is the way to go, though doing really custom things can be fairly obscure.有人想要一种快速，出框框架连接以及面向对象数据库的鱼钩和MVC这是一段路要走，但真正做事情可以自定义相当模糊。 Over the last few days I’ve been using RMagick lots and it’s been quite frustrating to have things hang where I should be getting error messages.在过去的几天里我一直在使用RMagick很多而且相当令人沮丧的事挂在那里我应该得到错误讯息。

Long story short, I continue Ruby with my work on AIM Photos at AOL, however my personal stuff I’m moving to PHP with an equivalent rails framework.长话短说，我继续与我的红宝石工作的AIM在美国在线的照片，但是我个人的东西我移动到PHP具有同等栏杆框架。 Two likely candidates are trax and symfony.两个可能的候选人是哈和symfony 。

During my evaluations I read a great quote by another developer switching back to PHP, he said, “PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES ARE LIKE GIRLFRIENDS: THE NEW ONE IS BETTER BECAUSE *YOU* ARE BETTER.” How true are both of those statements.在我的评价我读到一个伟大报价由另一开发商切换到PHP回来，他说： “ 编程语言就像女朋友：这个新的发现更好，因为*游*好。 ”如何真正的都是这些报表。 The basic point is that you learn so much from the past relationship that you come better prepared for the next one.基本点是，你从中学到这么多来自过去的关系，你来更好地准备下一个。

If Java was more supported by shared hosts, I’d jump back on the Struts boat, though for my personal work, PHP should do fine.如果爪哇更支持共同主办，我会弹回的Struts的船，尽管我个人的工作， PHP的应该做的罚款。 Now I need to switch from Netbeans back to Eclipse, and dreamhost back to 1and1, oh joy现在我需要转换的NetBeans回的Eclipse ，并dreamhost回到1and1 ，噢喜悦 Similar to a new GF, who brings her own baggage and family, you need to accept and try for a successful integration.类似的一个新的生长因子，谁把自己的行李和家庭，您必须接受和尝试的成功整合。

First off, it was huge, supposedly the largest book fair in the world.第一后，这是巨大的，理应最大的书展在世界上。 I have a few more coming up so I’ll be the judge, though I doubt this one will be topped.我有几个更即将所以我的判断，但我怀疑这将是一个突破。

The company got a decent size booth in the back.该公司有象样的规模展台后面。 At first I thought it was a terrible location though changed my mind when I realized first that rather then other booths directly in front of us, we had a cafe/meeting place area, second, by the time people got to our area they actually listened to what we were saying rather then just grabing a few freebies and moving on to the next row of booths (since there really were no others:).起初我认为这是一个可怕的位置虽然改变了我的注意时，我意识到：第一，而不是其他直接摊位摆在我们面前的，我们一家咖啡厅/会议场所面积，第二的时候，人们仅得到我们的领域，他们实际上聆听我们所说的话说，而不是仅仅几个grabing赠品和移动到下一排摊位（因为实在没有其他： ） 。

One morning I arrived before the general public was allowed in and snapped a few pictures, some of the booths were truly impressive.一天早上我到达之前，一般市民被允许在结束了几张照片，有些摊位是真正令人印象深刻。

I returned on thursday morning after spending almost a week in the UK.在我回来后，今天上午近一个星期在英国。 Although it was a short trip, the work / sightseeing mix was just right.尽管这是一个短期旅行，工作/旅游组合是正确的。 The great company also helped.伟大的公司也有帮助。 For those of you who didn’t know, the purpose of the trip was the London Book Fair, which my cousin had a booth to represent a new product his company is working on.对于那些你谁不知道，为了行程是伦敦书展，我的表哥了展台，代表一种新产品，他的公司工作。 Due to the size of the fair, apparently the largest book fair in the world, I will dedicate a separate post to it.因规模的公平，显然是最大的书展在世界上，我将致力于一个单独的职位给它。 This post will focus on the sightseeing.这个职位将着重于观光。 Feel free to check out my travel gallery on the right for all my UK pictures.随时检查了我的旅行画廊的权利为我所有的英国照片。

We started the weekend on a open top bus tour where we listened to information via earphones and experienced the brisk London weather.我们开始在周末的敞篷巴士旅游，我们听取了信息通过耳机和经历了活跃伦敦的天气。
