My Diary October 2020

 

Oct 27

Spent the whole evening yesterday and the whole morning today to find the anti-censorship tools, because of the inability to circumvent the Great Fire Wall (GFW) of China by using v2ray proxy tool. And finally I have found some altervatives, but they all are not stable. These days the communist regime is having a meeting, therefore they have tightened the control of the Internet censorship. It seems that they can completely handicap our tools without cutting off the Internet, I don't know which technologies they are using. However, they don't cut off the Internet for fear the foreign trade, scientific exchange, business and others will be handicapped as well, a catastrophical sequence to China's economy. Unless they want to destroy China, they dare not to do that.

Although I did find several tools which can help circumvent the GFW, but they don't allow for ftp - file transmit protocol - for my updating of websites. Therefore I have tried hard to find ways to solve this problems, and luckily I was able to find them as well. And now this problem is basically solved and I am able now again to get access to the outside world. But it costs me a mountain climbing today, because by doing so I have no time to go out today this late afternoon, instead I have to do my jogging on the ground after the dinner, when it was very dark and hence I was unable to climb the hills.

When I was jogging along the main highway I saw lots of trucks heavy with something extraordinary materials driving from west to east, that is form the suburbal area to the city center, they are a dozen of them. I was wondering what they have loaded onto their trucks. Strange enough. There was rumour that there will be possibly a war in the Taiwan Strait. Are these military materials? No ideas.

Happy to learn the Judge Amy has become Justice Amy. But this is only the slightest step of the return to American value and tradition after too long years of destruction of the democratic system. It seems there is no guarantee that a democracy will remain a democracy forever. There are many counter examples. Something is wrong in the US political system, very serious. The system needs to be remedied, not just the simple replacements of some corrupt officials. That doesn't work. A thoughough analysis will no be given here. I will possibly make such an analysis some days later, when I am well settled.

 

 

Oct 26

Today all my circumventing tools cannot work, and then I cannot work as well. The communist regime has made my life miserable, and I am unable to use the Internet smoothly. Therefore from today on I will abandon the Internet as major sources of information and business channels. I have toreturn to traditional way of everything - life, business, studies etc. The internet in China has become a local network, almost no access to the ourside world.

Because the Chinese communist government does not give us freedom of information, I will also not give them any of my skills and expertise to advance their science and technology as well as economy. I would like rather become poor than to enrich this totalitarian regime. I will serve no dictators in this world, or rather to die if I have to. Freedom is more than life itself.

I think it's no meaning to start my theolgy studies in Belgium, because 1) the churches are corrupt, I don't want to mingle with people there. At time of my miseray, no one has extended their hands to get me out of misery. 2) theology and Christetum is nonsense, they are all lies and boolshit. The Bible is full of rubish, conflicts and empty words. 3) the religious university cares no for my situation, they only interest in my money. If I have no money, they will cahse me out. I don't have enough money to complete my studies, and at time of pandemic, there is no chance to earn extra money to complete the studies. Therefore it's no wise to go there. If my money is dried up, I am usre they will drive me our rather than providing me a waiver of fees etc. At my age I have absolutely no chance to earn money in any way. Especially when all life is stopped due to the corona virus. Therefore I am determined not to go there for the studies. Only a few months is enough to dry my purse completely out.

 

Oct 24

I've just read a report form an American Chinese and found out the the US is now becoming another socialist country like China. The founding principles of the USA are eroded away. Freedom is deprived from the people, and corruption and beaurocracy prevails in the USA. Its industries and technologies are less competitive now. If this situation is not reversed, America will no longer be a superpower and the world will again fall into a dark age with totalitarian regimes ruling the entire globe. If US failes, Europe and other continents will follow. That is a very gloomy picture. If Joe Biden instead of Donald Trupm is elected US president, we will have such a picture. I don't know if other people can turn around and change the direction of world politics. I have told the world leaders years ago that if they don't contain the Chinese communists, the Chinee communists will kill us all. They did not listen to me then and now and they still want to make money with the communists, which want kill them in turn. The westerners are still making dreams, incl. the pope in Rom.

I don't know whether or not I shall go to Belgium for thelogy. The entire church is corrupted, I don't trust them all. They are all hypercrites, no love, no mercy, no kindness. They have no faith in God but in theselves. I also have no interest in the socalled Bible, which is nonsene. I do belive in God, but I hate the people in the religious world. They are all corrupt.

I don't think Donald Trump or anyone else can solve the problems the US is encountered with now or in the future, Sooner or later America will fall and the entire human race will vanish, because of the sins. God will not let this race exist for too long because they commit too much crimes. I guessed the pandemic this time will wipe out people from the earth or at least most of them, but apparently it is not yet the God's plan. But sometime somehow God will destroy the human kind if it disobey Him consistently. Without humans the earth will become a much more beautiful place. Animals on the earth, fish in the waters, birds on the sky will live much happier and freer. Air will be cleaner, water will be sweeter, trees will be greener...

Politics

I have been following US presidential race from the morning till late night on a hourly basis. That election will decide whether or not we will be living in a world of future with or without future. If President is relected, we still have chance to have a US with freedom and democracy, and if Biden is elected instead, the US will ikely fall into the york of the Chinese communist regime, and hence we will have no future to enjoy a free and democratic world. Of course, I think even if Biden is elected, there might be other people in the US who will try their best to preserve some of the US tradition, but in the short and middle term, we will ba facing with a dark age, and the US will be more and more like China or even become part of CCP's China.

From what the American politicians have done towards China it is clear that something is wrong with the US social and political system. Fundamental changes or remedies have to be made to repair the system, upgrade it to reflect the development of the world adter entering into the 21st century. Any country where there is no freedom of free speech and expression is one that must be repaired. How to repair the US system? I will not disclose here. I have been thinking over two decades about a new system and a new world order, but I need systematic approach to figure out a new one. In any circumstances, this is not a simple job of replacing a new president, or a new cabinet member. It will be a major surgery to the political structure and its miniature operation. It will take years to conceive a revised one, one which is still based on the current system, but with major modifications and additions. Let's see how to do this job.

Politics

Observing the recent political development amid the US presidential election, I was learned that the US politics is also full of dirty power struggle. The top politicians are currupt, like Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden and many others. And I am wondering why they are not put to justice. The media are no more the free speech instruments, rather the intruments of some political powers such as that of the Democratic Party. Where there is democracy and liberty in the US now? If the US falls the victim of the Chinese communist regime, then there is no force to balance the evil empire and the whole world is in danger. The whole wolrd will be enslaved under a totalitarian regime, and we all will go into a dark age. This will very likely to happen, if Joe Biden is elected President, because this man works with several totalitarian regimes.

Look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLowMZnsmcM, I think there is no time in US history that an election is so attracting the enthusiasm of the people. There is a revolution there, the uprising of the people against the corrupt democratic political regime in the US. If Donald Trump cannot be reelected President, America will become another China. Then it will decline and crumple together with the entire world. This is by far the most important election of the US history. It will decide US' fate. When I see this video, my tears cannot refrein to come out. These people really love their country, they deserve a good President, and US deserves a President like Donald Trump. When President Trump says he will leave the US if he fails, he was weeping in his heart. But even he looses, his colleagues - Mike Pence, Michael Pompeo, Rubio and many republicans will fight back 4 years later.

God bless America, God bless President Trump!

Mother

Last night I have again dreamed of my mother. But I cannot remember what has happened during the dream.

The song "远去的妈妈 Mother farthering away" makes me cry and paining. Mom, I miss you so strongly that I cannot live any longer without you. Life is so meaningless without you. You know I love you more than anything else, why dared you leave me alone? It's too cruel to me. You know without you I cannot survive. But I cannot kill myself because you are watching me from above. I have to do something before I die. I shall take avenge on those who forced you to die. I know who they are, but time is not yet come to avenge on them. God will help me to prepare for the exact day and hour, Mom, without achieving this, I will not die.

"The Mother Project"

This morning I have completed the posting of essays and proses / poems of the Wechat Channel, so that now the entire Channel content is basically ready, at least as far as the data and information in my computer was concerned. These data, documents, files and information were collected over the last month and perhaps beyond, for some of the poems and proses were collected over the last few months and even years in the preparation of prose/poem writing for mom.

Also uploaded a few English songs which are considered as the best among those singing for mothers.

Fintech Business

I might consider Financial Management to be extended to Personal Life Management as I was considering for the last couple of years. Financial Management will be one of the personal management issues of course. How to manage one's life is a critical issue concerning one's success or failure. I have been managing my life and career ever since my university days and I know what are the most important issues in your life.

 

October 11

Daily life

I have ordered a rice cooker on Sept 7, but it arrived only today. Nevertheless I can use it to cook rice for me today, the old one is not functioning well - the power handle cannot be pushed down easily.

Mother

Last night I have dreamed of my mother, who was weeping. I guess that is because of my stomach troubles caused by too much eating last night.

"The Mother Project"

It looks like the the few followers of the Wechat Channel are more interested in the pop music sections than those music commemorating mothers. Very sad fact. People care little for other mothers.

Fintech Business

I have finally decided to set my business area to financial management 理财 this time, with initial focus on tools and applications for personal finance 个人理财. Now this decision is final, no change will be made, regardless wher or not I will be successful or failed. For this business, the plutuse.com website will de completely redesigned, and will be developed into a fully operational industry portal and trade site. Of course it will not be finalized at once, rather, it will be improved step by step with a simple site at first and then perfected later on with more functions and contents. The site will be equipped with the latest web technologies. During the 1st 3 month or 6 months it will be hosted at a free virtual hosting service, and then it will be upgraded to make it run under heavier traffic and user interaction.

 

October 10

"The Mother Project"

Yesterday there were about 12000 hits or 130 MB traffic of the website (for each page is about 10 kb), record high since its operation since Oct 1, 2020. Don't know whether or not it will jump higher and higher, otherwise I have to buy a hosting, because the free hosting monthly bandwidth of 5 G (about 170 MB daily) will soon be met.

Fintech Business

Today I officially decided to orient the business to fintech services, that is, providing technology consulting and solutions to the online finance industry or commonly known as fintech. The site will be designed this way, that it will report on the major development of key technological progress in the fintech applications, such as AI, blockchains, big data, cloud computing, machine learning, biometrics, which I have covered two years ago within the same site, but stopped for the last one or two years. Fintech security will possibly not fall into my business area.

 

 

October 09

Mother

I met mother last night in my dream, where she was bearing something heavy. More I can not remember. When I see mother's picture, my heart is being broken.

 

"The Mother Project"

I want to embed a youtube video at the front page of my "Mothers" project site of mothermemorials.eu.org but it failed to play automatically when loaded. Tried many ways but failed. I have embedded lots of youtube videos earlier, all autoplay at loading, but I don't know why this time it is not ok. Took me more than 2 hours in this morning. The problem was finally solved, but in fact I still don't know where it was wrong.

The site views have soared to about 10 000 hits at time of my writing (21:00 pm China Beijing time). I think it will still climb a bit before the end of the day, because I don't know which timezone the hosting site is employing.

 

Fintech Business

Today I shall decide in which area or areas of fintech I shall work at, in order to develop a good website for business promotion. I cannot diversify my business over too wide areas.

 

 

October 08

Life

My rice cooker is not functioning well, the power button cannot be pressed down properly, therefore I have ordered a new one, which will be delivered to me in a couple of days.

 

Mother

I think of her every day, and my only possibility is to listen to songs for commemorating mothers. What they are singing is just what I want speak out.

 

"The Mother Project"

Today I have confirmed that yesterday's hits of the website mothermemorials.eu.org was something around 6000 hits, a remarkable data! See how today the site performs. But the hits are dropped the following day, dramatically.

 

Fintech Business

Now I need to put this business in full swing and one of the first steps is to deply a well-developed website, which is now hosted at a free virtual host. The service cannot guarantee the full and satisfactory needs of viewers, but where to find a reliable and cheap host service? VPS ? Shared hosting ? Some cloud platforms ? I don't have international credit cards and I can only pay with paypal in limited fashion.

 

Languages

Finally I've decided to stop my German competence because I have no enough time to continue with the reading and studies in German and German literature, and also because of the misbehavior of the Germans and German government in time of human rights violations by Chinese government, while the Germans and German government just ignore all these and instead kowtow to Chinese government in exchange of business transactions particularly for their auto industry. Bad German mentality! Likewise I will stop my French studies as well, but just wait for a few months.

 

 

October 06

Life

Glad to hear that US President has returned. He is the only USP who really cares for the human rights violations in China, although to a very limited degree, because what he and his adm cares is for money, and human rights is only a byproduct of his foreign policy, not among his key mission. He he does not fight against Chinese dictators, America and the West will be falling into a pit and the entire world is in danger to become an age like the Middle Age, where there was no human freedom and dignity. What makes the world today and America today is because freedom and democracy become the foundation of the nations' constitution and fundamental principles of the society. Without freedom and democracy without prosperity and science and human development. If one the onctrary the world is fallen again into middle age like totalitarian rules by rulers big ans small, oriental of occidental, all current progress in human development will be destroyed and the world will return to what was thousands of years ago. That's natural laws.

 

Mother

I can't refrain from weeping when seeing mother's pictures, therefore I dare not to look at her pictures, nor to try to write about her. Simply cannot continue with the writing, after tears rolling over my chins like rains. I never have really weeped before mother death, for me there is nothing to weep in my life. Only mother's death will force me to weep, over the last years ever since mother's death. I don't how many days I have been weeping. I have never stopped it. I am a person with strong mind, nothing will prevent me from doing something and successful in life. Only the slightest illness of mother will worry me very much, because I love her more than myself. I have enough ability to care for myself, but I am afraid my mother doesn't have that capacity.

 

"The Mother Project"

The site of mothermemorials.eu.org has received about 1000 hits yesterday, a sharp jump from previous 20 hits a day. Don't kow the reason why. Today there are even more hits than yesterday. At time of my writing (about 20:50 pm China time and 14:50 pm Europe time or 20:50 pm Oct 5, US time), there are already about 3000 hits) It might be soaring to someting like 5000 hits the whole day..

From today on I will keep the site as it is, perhaps for a month or so, and then continue with some mild updates. I have changed the front image to my mother's picture taken in 2015, one year before her death. The picture was in bad resolution but a milestone one showing her personality.

 

Fintech Business

I have no idea how to earn money in this business, simply there is no way to promote the business, no way to find my clients. Developing a mobile app is also only my practice to familiarize with the development process, without the aim to market it, no way, therefore I will take an approach of laisser-faire.

 

 

October 05

Mother

I can hardly live on with my mother gone. My other is my all, my most beloved, all what I have been doing are for her and for her only. I love only one person in the world, that is her. I have no reason to live on while she is gone. My whole motif to live is gone with her as well. What can I do now? I can only listen to the sad songs who sing their dead mothers. Their cries reflect my cries, their despairs mirrow mine, their sorrows echo my pains, their long for mothers are my dreams to see my my mother ! I can only hope to see mother in my dreams. This kind of life is a pain, more deadly then death. I can hardly bear it, but I have to! I know mother is watching from abpve, she sees me every moment, she heas every of my speeches, she understands all my thoughts! She wishes me well, she has been ooking for me to have my own wife, own kids for the last two decades, but I have despaired her, and my mother, my dearest mother, was so fond of me, she loved me so much that she did not bear to see me in such a bad life status and her nerve has broen down. I am responsible for her suicide. If I have a normal life, with a normal family, normal work and normal career, like the one I have before 2000, I would have a mother very happy. I have been loving my mother like no other son. I think her day and night, and I cannot see any harm to mother. I want to protect her from any hurt, I want her life the most happy mother. I consider the whole world together as nothing compared to my mother. I have no interest in high position, big money, beauties, etc, but I want to accompany my other every moment in her life. I cannot bear to see her live without my close care. I want her to happily live together with me, regardless whether or not I am poor or rich. With mother, I am already the richest of the world. And now without mother, I am already the poorest and most miserable. What I can do now?

 

"The Mother Project"

Today I have finished the large scale of information retrieval from the web, and now it's a matter of update of the site as well as the Wechat Channel little by little, slowly, with no need to hurrying up. Anyway no one cares for that sort of things. I have informed two groups of Wechat and my fried has also passed the wechat inforamtion to our high school group in wechat, altogether something about 200 people, but in the end only about 10 people joined my wechat channel, therefore I was frustrated and hence decided not to 1) promote the channel in commercial manner, 2) cancel the development of a mobile app, 3) cancel the operation of a youtube channel and 4) stop the video uploading to some of the video sharing sites.

 

Fintech Business

I have checked with google search and found out that most bitcoin related apps are involved in either bitcoin wallet or bitcoin mining, therefore I have decided to develop a bitcoin wallet app. However, how to do so is not yet clear, but one thing is pretty clear, that it is not an insurmountable job. The key is to establlish a communiactions with the bitcoin platforms and the transaction mechanisms.

 

 

October 04

Mother

During the first 3 years after the death of my dear mother, I didn't realize how she was careful in keeping my clothes all clean and in good shape. And now, since two or three months I have found that mama has sewed almost all my broken trousers, socks to the deepest details. I don't know when she did all this, because I was almost always with her at home. My tears roll down when I saw all these seams on my clothes and socks. All my old clothese were repaired by my mother, silently while I was working on my computer in another room. Mom and I live just in a differnet room, my facing the village street, hers in the rear. Perhaps at the time of my working she was sewing at her desk silently, and during the three years time with her she has enough time to repair all these clothes.

"The Mother Project"

Now almost all documents are prepared ready and are posted onto the site, therefore I can rest a while or proceed with other jobs. Of course updating of the site as well as the WeChat Channel will continue, but the mass scale of site and channel updating is ended, incl. the searching for documents, texts, videos and audios. And the next job to do is to watch these videos, listen to the audios and read all the poems, essays, eulogies etc. In fact, I have aready readon and watched most of them during the time of searching, downloading and publishing. But still there are some not yet done.

Music

Music is an integral part of my life. I can't live without music. And everyday I am listening to music for more than 2 hours, most classic. Today when I again listen to Beethoen's Emperor Piano (Piano concenrto no 5), I have suddenly caused a very special feeling - something unspeakable, pain, sweetness, past, future, mother, success, failure, misery, ambition, etc etc. I started to listen to this piece decades ago, at that time I was listening to it again and again, day and night, for a continour several years. Yes, there are many great music pieces and songs, but Beethoven gives me special treatment - that is his grandeur. His piano concerto expresses our lifetime desire, struggle, failure, success and many more. While listening to many other music I have found something particular, Beethoven speakes out my entire life. In there there is some hope, although very weak. In my lonely time seclusion and hard working, Beethoven accompanies me and tells me not to give up easily. Thank you, immortal great composer of the history!

Mobile Apps

Since I have decided to stop developing mobile apps for my Mother project and instead for my fintech project, I have been thinking about for which part of the fintech industry the future mobile apps shall be identified, because the fintech industry spans over very large areas of specialization like most other industries. And now today I decided to start from the cryptocurrency sector for this is among the hotest areas of fintech at the moment. However, in the future I may also develop apps for other areas of fintech. But experiences in developing apps for cryptomoney will be used for other areas of fintech.

 

 

October 03

Today my female high school classmate also belonging to the landlord who rent me an living abode, came to me and gave me a mooncake, a sign of friendship. I was very much touched by her nice altitude towards me who has no moode to celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival. For me there is no festival after the death of my mother, therefore I did not hope any one to give me a mooncake on these days. Mt elder and younger sistere in Hangzhou, none of them contacted me during these days of Moon Cake festival. I don't know what they are thinking about.

Mother Project

I've collected all information needed for the Wechat Channel as well as the website. I will not publish the English contents to the Wechat Channel, and for the video clips I will also not publish them to the video sharing platforms.

 
 

October 01

October means the beginning of the cold winter season is coming and life will become more and more complicated because one has to wear more and more clothes, that is time consuming each day.

October is also a gold season - temperature mild, enough sunshine but not too hot, and fewer rain.

And now I have to regain the visa application for Belgium, for in a few days the Belgian university will reissue an admission letter to me, and with it I can resume the application, interrupted over the last months due to the pandemic. But I wonder if it is possible right now to do so, because the pandemic is likely to gain an momemtum, that is a second wave might be already coming in Belgium and in Europe. In fact I am reluctant to move to outside China, although this is not a free country. I have adopted a new approach towards life in a totalitarian country - whereever I live, whatever the political system might be, I shall improve my living status with my capacity, for if you can only survive in certain perfect country, then you can probably never be able to survive in any other country of any other forms of political system, because there is no such system which is designed exactly to my taste. If if I happen to come to a near perfect country, such as Switzerland, there is still trouble facing me, one way or other. The capacity to survive and further to prosper in a totalitarian country is also a plus to live in a free country. Suppose you can get well with lions and tigers, can you imagine that you cannot survive and live in peace with pigeons and lambs?

 

Midautumn Festival

Today it is the midautumn festival or moon-cake festival according to Chinese tradition, when people are coming together at home. But to me this is meaningless after my mother is gone. I am now homeless like a dog, astray in the world. No one cares for me - completely alone. My brother and sisters just ignore me and think me no more. although they live not far away. Evil people! The world is made evil, and why God does not destroy it?

 

What I Have Done in September 2020?

Well, not much.

First of all, I have initiated the "Mothers" project, mainly with the WeChat Public Channel system, that is, it is run inside the WeChat Chatting application developed by Tencent. WeChat boosts of 1 billion users in China and is also popular among oversea's Chinese. Upto now, the framework is completed, more than a third of the videos, audios, pictures and texts are collected and posted to the Channel, so it is now operational. At the same time, a website is also developed targeted at foreign users, because WeChat is mainly a Chinese platform. The site is also ready. I will maintain the channel together with the site for long period of time, even for lifetime. The project is aimed to commemorate my mother and all mothers of the world with songs, music, poems, eulogies, biographies, ceremonies etc.

Second, I have decided to stop the promotion of my Satellite modem IC design, but studies, research and design itself will continue everyday. Hence I will no more update my site in this area. That releases me from heavy burden, because I don't see any possibility to earn money out of the promotion of this site for my modem IC design job. Instead, I will spend more time on promoting my business in

Fintech Consulting and technologies, which will become my dominating business area. For this purpose I have resumed my personal site to business use in fintech, and the personal site is newly hosted at another free host. The fintech site development is also half finished, but still many problems are open and are to be solved in the coming weeks. Apart from the website and its promotion in various platforms, I am developing a mobile app as well. Conducted indepth investigation as to which technologies are to be applied - finally it was decided to use the Android/Flutter/Dart combination to develop a crossplatform app. Meanwhile I have been learning the development skills in these directions and have successsfully established the required development environment and have produced my first app running at a Android Simulator on Win 10 machine.

 

What I Want to Do in October 2020?

In October I may start the visa application for theologial studies in Belgium.

The majority of the content of the WeChat Channel shall be made available.

The mobile app specification for fintech shall be determined, and the development technologies commanded - Dart language, Flutter and Android Studio. The fintech site shall be made more informative with most sections filled up with the right information and hopefully a transaction interface will be developed.

Some money shall be earned out of my freelance jobs in languages and IT services such as web/mobile app development, SEO and web scraping etc.

 

"Mothers Project"

The first round of development is basically over with most of videos are downloaded and put into the wechat channels and the website is configured with the basic framework and textual contents. I will carry out this project as my lifetime mission - that is, as long as I live, this project will go on. But that does not necessary mean that wechat and website will exist for ever, because wechat might disappear one day and website technology might be replaced by other technologies, who knows.

"Fintech Project"

I don't know really how to start with the propaganda. Today I have translated an essay from Chinese into English and published onto Facebook as a page post and group post. Posting to Linkedin and Twitter failed because they limit the number of words, and I don't want to shorten the essay. I have also cancelled the Youtube channel for Fintech technology because Youtube provides a very bad services to people in China. Likewise I have deleted all my channels there angered by the slow uploading of videos, these channels include those for mother memorials where I have already uploaded about 200 videos, satellite modem, topmusic etc. Youtube is very wicked and weird, prohibiting Chinese and those with liberal ideas from using. I have explored possibility to host my videos at other video sharing platforms, and found quite some, among them some are quite satisfactory to my purposes. But I have decided to not upload my videos now. I will only provide them when my visitors to my site request for copies of the videos or a link.

Languages

Each day I spend about two hours watching youtube videos in English, German and French and reading English novel. A few days ago I have finished reading Eliot's Middlemarch with 1193 pages, and now I reading Melville's Moby Dick with 861 pages.

Upto now I have read a dozen of English novels, incl. those below:

  • Aesop Aesop’s Fables p89
  • Alcott Little Women p684
  • Andersen Andersen’s Fairy Tales p200
  • Caroll Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland p111
  • Defoe Robinson Crusoe p393
  • Dickens Great Expectations p685
  • Dumas The Three Musketeers p945
  • Eliot Middlemarch p1193
  • Ellison Invisible Man p451
  • Flaubert Madame Bovary p457
  • Grimm Grimms’ Fairy Tales p373
  • Hugo Les Miserables p2453.pdf
  • Hugo Notre Dame de Paris p333
  • James The Portrait of a Lady p397
  • Kafka The Castle p318
  • Kafka The Complete Stories p555
  • Kafka The Trial p271
  • Lawrence Sons and Lovers p641.pdf
  • More Utopia p148

and much much more because the above list is only the one have finished over the last two years or so.

In addition to that I have also been reading German and French novels for the past decades, but stopped a year or so ago. I don't know whether I will be able to resume reading these novels, for I really don't have time.

I only read about 10 to 20 pages a day,each day about 20 minutes. I don't have enough time for reading, for I have lots and lots of other things to do, such as:

Satellite Communications IC Design

Each day I allocat about 1.5 hours to read literature in IC design, wireless and satellite communications especially modulation and demodulation and carry out my modem design project in various methodologies. I don't know yet if there is an optimal design methodology, perhaps not, because optimal solution depends on application cases. SDR is now getting popular, but it is also disadvantageous because using software to modulate and transmit the radio waves will compromise the speed, and SDR is also not cheap at all. Other methods such as FPGA, DSP, GPU, GPP, ASIC etc all have their cons and pros, hard to say.

I have reviewed most popular books in communiactions and modem design, but now I am rereading them for perhaps the nth time. It's hard to find the latest books form the web.
