A REMINDER

At this time, a systematic conclusion on the S algorithm family would be of much help to me.
Since I am working on improving this well-known algorithm, I have no reason to omit its developing, its properties, its applications, etc..
As far as I have an idea of these, a clear map would show me its shortcomings and the possible ways to overcome them.

For each algorithm in this family, conclude the following.
* the modifications
* the applications
* the advantages
* the disadvantages
* the compared methods

STRUGGLING IN RESEARCH

I have been working on this project for half a year.
The experimental results show that there are still some problem to figure out.
I know. This is research.
Today, when I was looking for some possible applications of our system, I found it almost useless, at least no big improvement for its basic algorithm.
It seems that there is little place for the basic algorithm to be improved.
Hopefully there are something over the conner.

MADE A MISTAKE

I do not like such a title, but it seems a proper one at this time.
I thought I had found a bug in the codec my boss gave me before, and I sent him an email explaining what a big bit waste it resulting.
But this morning, I tested more on that program, and it turned out that I did make a mistake on reading the program.
Just as my boss guessed in his email reply.

Of course, it is not a good news.
But the good point is that I would build a correct program based on the old one.

AS HIGH AS 88F

Yesterday, a sunny Saturday, I had a nice trip to Albany with Qi and Hui.
We had lunch at the small Thai restaurant with Jun and his girlfriend.
It was the second time I had been there, and the food was excellent.
I ordered a wrong dish, which was not the one I expected for, but luckily, Qi offered to exchange his with mine. ^n^
The truth was that I asked him to do so, ==! and he would not let me down.
That is a little bonus of having a boyfriend. You have one more chance to get what you really want when you order in a not-very-familiar restaurant.
What a good lunch time!
After that we said good-bye with Jun and his girlfriend.

It was the time for our tulip tour at Washington Park.
The big tulip festival is the Mother's Day, May 10th, this year.
We thought there might be some tulip coming earlier, but it turned out we were wrong.
The tulips for the festival were carefully selected and they would blossom at the specific time.
Bikini beauties, lovely dogs,..., it was still a good tour though.
Actually, it would be a great one, if there had been less sunshine.
The temperature was up to 88F, which had been the highest one ever since 1915.

Ben & Jerry's gave us a cool down.
Coffee Heart Bar Shake! ****
Great flavour, but it was too large for me, even though it was in a regular size. I could not finish it before it turning not-icy.
Real Fruit Smoothies: Mango and More! ****
Not as delicious as the above one, but it should be healthier. *b*

I did not forget the MLB game.
Red Sox vs. Yankee, 4:10pm - almost 9pm, Red Sox won!
What a time-consuming sports!
Luckily, we watched it in front of a TV.

TROY NIGHT OUT

Troy Night Out is on the last Friday evening at each month.
I was there last night with Brea and several other fellows.
The main topic of this program is Art.
To be honest, I am not a big art fan, but the dancing lesson given there did bring me some surprise.

It was my first time to do Swing Dance.
The teacher Jason taught the very basic steps, but I was still not quite sure about the movings especially when doing a circle.
When I danced with Brea, she told me more details, and I guess I did a big improvement.
Perhaps I do have some musical cells. Haha ^z^
Anyway, I like it. I like the Swing Dancing!

STOP!!!

When you are 27, perform as a young person.

Thanks, Joe! I am going to give myself the time to make the STOP trick work.

STOP!! There is no evidence that I was sick. ^z^
