iphone application

Posted by xinquan – October 30, 2008

It’s been a while. Actually I was busy with all sorts of stuffs that I rarely have any time do things like write something here on the blog.

My life has changed a lot with this global financial turmoil and Now I believe everything could happen like my company Lehman Brothers, that I thought would work for a long period, went bankruptcy. Also getting a little bored with my life in Tokyo.

Maybe not bored but just back to normal. Also my written English getting worse and my Japanese level does not improve much neither. However, one more exciting thing was the Dictionary in Apple’s iphone app store surprisingly selling well. Today I checked out, Korean English Dictionary KE No.4 in Korean app store. Chinese nglish Dictionary CE No.5 in China app store!

Chinese/English Dictionary
Korean/English Dictionary
And all applications

Chinese Spring Festival Coming Soon

Posted by xinquan – January 28, 2008

Chinese New Year, also called Chinese Spring Festival (春节) used to be the happiest holidays for me just like the Christmas season for western people. People gather together with their friends and family and I can reunion with my nephew and playmates and we can “play” together and get the “Red packets” from my parents and grandparents and don’t have to get up early and go to school. It used to be such a good holiday that I was always look forward to.

while this sort of feeling fades and I could not find much happiness as used to. Perhaps it is a festival for kids as my mother told me.

Not a morgan stanleyer any more

Posted by xinquan – January 21, 2008

I have been receiving some emails asking about IT division of Morgan Stanley Shanghai. First of all, I would like to clarify that I am not Morgan Stanley employee any more and I can’t disclose any confidential information that I am not supposed to tell someone else.

Morgan Stanley is a very good company with very strong infrastructure and technology. I think this is quite rare for a fincial company. People are smart and friendly there and definitely it’s a good company to work for but I would like to say it is not suitable for everybody.

Snowboarding and Night bus

Posted by xinquan – December 11, 2007

It was just happened without knowing where i was going and who exactly I was going with. I was just told from my friend that there was a good deal of snowboarding ski trip pass. I accepted and it turned out that 11 people joined the group. And it was a lot of fun. Village, snow, mountain and hot spring. But also the nightmare – the night bus though, at least for me.

Cute deer in the Nara park

Posted by xinquan – November 25, 2007

I love animals and especially those deer wander around the city streets which makes the city blend with natural. The second day of my kansai trip was Nara that I have been looking forward to since long time ago. It only takes about 40 mins from kyoto to nara by the ＪＲみやこ路快速. There are lots of tourist information in the exit of the train station. Turn right after you get out of the station, cross one road. Comes with the main street of Nara, which I guess it might be the biggest street.

It is such a small town. We did not book the hotel in advance. But it doesn’t take long for us to find one even it is the busy season when we went there.

Apply A Credit Card in Japan

Posted by xinquan – October 25, 2007

Japan is a country where somehow national discrimination happens every now and then. Let’s say that foreigners applying credit card in Japan would be a good example. Most of the credit card companies reject your application basically because of you are foreigner here regardless of your job, income, profile or whatsoever.

Multiple Emacs Shell Buffers

Posted by xinquan – September 25, 2007

Having my work changed a lot during the last year, from a Lunix developer to a half developer half support and now are purely support, I do not have many chance to use Emacs that often anymore, but I keep to use to it as much as possible. After all it’s my first editor in my programmer career. One thing I like is its shell buffers. Unfortunately, It only support one shell as I thought before. Because if you type M-x shell to open a new shell buffer, if you already have one open that will just switch to the existing one.

3 Days in Korea

Posted by xinquan – June 17, 2007

Having spent 3 days in korea(most time in Seoul), I find that there are considerable japanophiles here. Although Japan occupied korea several decades before, it turns out not much korean hate japanese. So many Japanese stuff here, japanese resturants, Japanese signs everywhere, japanese TV channel, … I even got a warm help from three korean girls while I was trying to find a hotel in gumi. They thought I was japanese once.
