有想要敲诈我请客的朋友提前跟我说哦：） June 01 六一儿童节快乐1. 为了让六一过得有意义一点，申请了一个域名www.autumncool.com (大家不用访问了，啥也没有呢，呵呵) 不过启动了google apps，所以有人想在autumncool.com的域名下用email/calendar/docs/chat的比如(abc@autumncool.com，界面跟gmail一样，mail.autumncool.com下登录，容量大概6G)，可以跟我说一声，随时给您开通：）
2. 经过某人的提醒，想起来这是我第一次拿到美国签证的三周年纪念日，呵呵，儿童团签证的兄弟姐妹，happy 3rd anniversary!
3. 祝今天过生日的朋友们(比如kerry xin, ge weina等)生日快乐！
4. 不知不觉生活越来越complicated，看到一个帖子，转过来送给大家：
给自己残留的童心放个假建议一：在自己的房间开心的裸爬；
建议二：穿著鞋在自己的床上狂蹦； 建议三：披一个床单在身上，在街上欢跑，告诉别人你在飞； 建议四：订一份m的儿童乐园餐，并故意把可乐洒的到处都是，把来帮你收拾
的服务员mm叫阿姨； 建议五：在床上画个圈，并在晚上把它尿湿； 建议六：假装迷路，或在路边无助的哭泣，当有人来问你时，告诉他/她你找 不到妈妈； 建议七：打电话问妈妈，你是怎么来的； 建议八：一边《我们的祖国是花园》一边跳舞 祝我们这些表面风光，内心彷徨；容颜未老，心已沧桑；似乎有才，实为江郎；
成就难有，郁闷经常；比骡子累，比蚂蚁，比鸡起的早，比狗睡的晚；
比驴干的多，比猪吃的差；比岳飞忠良，比赖昌星紧张的老中青年六一快乐！
May 26 搬到加州一周年晚上在Diana和Will新买的house里跟十个好朋友enjoy BBQ party，总觉得有熟悉的场景在眼前晃动。5月26日这个日期也好像很熟悉，猛然才想起来2007年5月26日，我relocate到加州，乘坐飞机到达SJC机场，从此开始了湾区生活。那天晚上正是Diana和Will开着一个黑色的Acura去机场接的我，Diana family还搞了一个大的party。第二天我们一起去金门大桥旁边捉螃蟹，Will穿的supper man的衣服跟今年一模一样……
呼，转眼一整年过去了，从学生到工作，从research到product，从boring的Atlanta到五颜六色的bay area。生活变化了好多，这一年经历了好多。很好奇2009年的5月26日我会有怎样的感慨。希望一年更比一年充实起来～ May 23 有幸跟美国国务卿Rice 英国外交大臣Miliband握手，做demoAs we know, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband visited Google yesterday. In building 40 University Theater, I was lucky to help Brian gave a GEO demo to Secretary Rice and Secretary Miliband for about 7-8 minutes. After a quick demo of street view, the rest of the demo was mainly focused on My Maps (our group's product) and its application in disasters. First, Brian showed them how to create a "My Map" and put markers on it (search index will index the markers soon). Then, he showed them the San Diego fire map, and talked about how this map was timely updated and got millions of views within a very short period of time and mentioned China Snow Storm map early this year. Following that, we demoed the aggregated mapplet that was recently developed by Google China team. http://ditu.google.com/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http://china-dizhen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mapplets/earthquake.xml Tab 1: The most recent disaster info. There are three My Maps embedded in that tab: Map1: http://ditu.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=103335311190703792834.00044d70e92741170f3d3 This map has the most recent requests and supplies info in the earthquake area, such as "xxx number people need food and fresh water at xxx location urgently", "xxx location need xxx number of tents urgently", "xxx people are still trapped in xxx location due to a sudden land slide, need urgent help"... Map2: http://ditu.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=105498083399349668294.00044d0490f73e7f5c173 This map has the most recent news national wide. (Such as recovered highway and railway transportations. Telecommunication recovered and etc. It also has embedded photos and video links.) Map3: http://ditu.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=100107433478716901192.000001133876555af0950&ie=UTF8&ll=31.604271,104.084473&spn=3.555276,2.296143&z=9&iwloc=00044da286e3e2d6f5ffb This map has the series of earthquakes. The opened marker was around the epicenter (magnitude 7.8) Tab 2 has all the hospitals information. (drop down menu allow you to choose a region first) Tab 3 has the blood donation information national wide. (drop down menu allow you to choose a region first. You can also quick search.) Tab 4 has Redcross societies information national wide. (drop down menu allow you to choose a region first. You can also quick search) Tab 5 has related links. (such as websites where you can search relatives info or report safety to relatives, Google earth satellite images and etc) In the end, Brian also demoed the Myanmar Cyclone Nargis mapplet and show the flooded area. http://maps.google.com/ig/add?synd=mpl&pid=mpl&moduleurl=http://mw1.google.com/mw-earth-vectordb/myanmar20080507/maps/mapplet.xml US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband were very impressed by these my maps and the usage in the disasters by millions of people. Google products demo yesterday includes four booths: Mobile, Google.org, Google ops and Geo. After the four booths, Rice and Miliband sat back and enjoyed Google earth demo projected on the big screen (3D city integrated with Street View, such as San Francisco) and tried the 3D mouse. After all demos, Secretary Rice, Secretary Miliband, Sergey and other representatives sat down and discussed policy issue in this technology world. May 19 (Recap) Thank you all who participated or helped our SF event!Dear all,
Thank you so much for all the great efforts during the past three days.
Although this event was initially just 2-3 friends' impulsive idea on Thursday evening. It turned out that we had more than 40 people helped throughout the event. They came from Google, Oracle, Stanford University, Yahoo, Nvidia, Facebook, University of California-San Francisco, a San Francisco-based financial company, some startup companies, a headhunter company, a special educational institute, and a lot more that I didn't remember. On Saturday, we had more than 8 volunteers as first group handed out flyers at different locations in San Francisco, such as Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Union Square, BART and etc. They brought back very valuable feedback.
On Sunday, we had more than 25 volunteers participated at different locations in SF and on Caltrains. Our large posters draw numerous foreigners attentions at union square and Caltrain Station. Some of the volunteers even attached the colorful posters in the front and at the back of they bodies as story tellers. Another group of volunteers attached slogans on both sides of their bodies and walked through thousands of "Bay to Breakers" (a big event in San Francisco). A lot other volunteers did a great job in handing out flyers and explaining foreigners about the facts. In totally, we handed out almost 2000 flyers, with facts, pictures and donations instructions on each of them. Thank you, thank you all for spreading the word!! Behind the scene, we had four friends stayed up until 3AM on Friday night, made the first version of our posters and the flyer draft. On Saturday night, we had another 6 friends stayed up until 4-5AM to make the final posters, flyers and got everything ready. Several of us slept only 3 hours or less, got up early to pick up friends, drove to SF and transported all the equipments to sites. One of our drivers have been driving in SF almost every hour on Sunday from morning to evening, although he only slept 3 hours and didn't have breakfast or lunch. (He is visiting from Google China office.) One of our organizers got sick after a whole day's work on Saturday in SF, but he rode a bike and came again on Sunday to help us. There are a lot more touching stories behind the scene. I don't know how to express my thankfulness to all of you... It is the disaster that made us closely united!
Besides these, I want to thank Google San Francisco office for the great support in our equipments.
Thank Zhejiang Univ. Alumni(Zheda Alumni) President Guowen Lu for the great support! And, although we decided not to accept donations on site for security reasons, I still would like to thank President of Tsinghua foundation (SVTN) Huaqiang Wu and Shin Shin Educational Foundation Chin Lin for their timely response and great help in the past two days. We look forward to working with you again in future. Hopefully the guys who took photos can send me the pictures soon, so that I can share them with you. Sorry that the coming casual group pictures missed a lot of volunteers who left silently... You are all heroes. Thank you, thank you all!
Please forward this email to your friends who joined or helped us but not in the email group. Yes, we are all Chinese! With the help of Chinese from all over the world, we bless China will conquer all the troubles and have a successful 2008!
Best wishes! Qiushuang Zhang ------------------------------------------ Huaqiang Wu 8:29AM May 19, 2008

标 题: 旧金山街头募捐-Join us in San Francisco this weekend for earthquake donation 发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Fri May 16 00:46:14 2008) Dear friends, As all of us have seen from the news, the earthquake is such a tragedy for our Chinese. Besides tears and our own donations, let's do something more this weekend to help the tens of thousands of people who suffered in this disaster. My friends and I are planning to organize a donation event in San Francisco this weekend--街头募捐 Where: Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco. (And other places in San Francisco if we have enough people) When: this SAT&SUN. (come and leave at whatever time convenient for you) What to do: we plan to create a poster to display photos of earthquake and let people know what's happening in China. Call for donations! Here are the ways we are thinking to facilitate people's donations: 1) We buy envelopes & stamps, print red cross's address on them. Give them to people who want to donate, so that they can put the money in and mail it easily. 2) Collect people's email address, who are interested in donations. Then, we send donation links to them. 3) Print flyers (with donation instructions) and give them to people who walk by. Please let us know if you have any other better ideas. To do this, we need more hands. The more people we have, the more streets we will set up donation tables. If you are free sometime this weekend, please join us. You can come and leave at whatever time that is convenient for you. Contact person: Zhang Yimin email: ymzhangcn [at] gmail.com Cell: 650-619-0775 Feel free to forward this email to any email list ----------------------------------

新年第一贴from LAX机场。
刚刚过去的三天两夜，再次体验了Google west coast trip--Disneyland的奢侈行为。
周一，San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose三个机场从早到晚7pm所有飞LA的飞机都被Google塞满了。人数如此之多，导致好多飞机晚点。数不清的bus把Googlers从各地运往机场，再从LA机场接到各个hotels。酒水，早餐，hotels早就被Google打点好了。每人再发一个小背包，里面有坐公车的免费票，Disney park和California advanture park的one day hopper ticket，wristband等等。我们一行十几号中国人还兴致勃勃的租了车跑到Rowland Heights吃了中餐。
周二，公园里玩一整天，Google包好了夜场。8pm和8:45pm之后，两个公园其他的游人全部离去，只剩下数千号Googlers。白天看到的disney各种贵的宰人的食物全部免费，到处随便吃随便拿。Advanture park那边还有好多喝酒的地方。各种饮料，cocktail, 啤酒也是免费order。于是俺左手一杯右手一杯，喝得好爽～ disney各处的地面，电子显示板都显示着"Googler" "Welcome Googlers"等等的字样，好温馨。到处都是跳舞的地方，露天的，室内的。大群大群的Googlers随着强有力的节奏越high越高，直到凌晨2点。之后我们五六个中国人索性通宵打taxes holdem poker打了通宵。我一早的飞机，于是六点多就从hotel出发了，在前往机场的路上，一看表8am，北京时间敲钟了～ 转眼又是一年。不知道Google安排这次活动的时间是否有部分原因是春节，Anyway, 就当是吧，呵呵。新春快乐！！ January 30 我的工作应用在中国春运交通图As we know, 我国中部和南方罕见的连续暴雪灾害，造成高速公路拥堵、封路，火车飞机停运或延误，并导致数百万春运旅客滞留在了回家的路上。截至到现在，政府已出动20万军队人次除雪，经济损失已达326.7亿元。单单广州一个城市就有80万旅客滞留车站……很多民工用尽了最后的积蓄，困在车站，忍受饥饿。上亿的中国群众正在实时关注最新的灾情。
基于这种状况，谷歌中国地图小组利用我们组的产品紧急制作“春运交通图”。在过去的二十几个小时里，我在为这张地图的后台服务不停的奋斗着……
 (view count on the map info has been greatly decreased due to our current caching algorithm.)
点击春运沿线重要城市上方的天气图标，地图上就会弹出这个城市详细的天气情况。交通图上标明了主要的铁路、高速公路和国道，如果铁路或公路被"加红加粗"，就说明它可能处于封路或受阻状态。点击后即可了解滞留人数、目前情况、持续时间。有的图标注释甚至含有链接到最新的availabe火车票。
www.google.cn 谷歌中国主页首推：“回家过年：上谷歌春运交通图, 查看最新天气及铁路、航空春运状况”
 (refresh the page several times if you don't see it.) China maps: ditu.google.cn (or ditu.google.com)  新浪(Sina)抗灾新闻中心引用我们的春运交通地图
 巨大的访问量让我们组碰到一个又一个的问题，昨天晚上早期曾经有两个小时地图无法访问。一想到全国人民处在水深火热之中，我就有了用不完的的力量。从昨天晚上到今天，连夜push新的server，和组里同事不停的fix一个又一个problem，发信给谷歌中国的local team，电话会议，撰写google官方blog post，多线程并行工作着。
估计接下来几天的任务一直会很艰巨。一定要坚持下去，嗯！！
祝全国人民早日顺利回家过年！！ January 19 取舍犹豫了好久，顶着HR几番动员的压力，今天最终还是decline了月底的Georgia Tech campus recruiting trip。这次的trip从去年12月份就开始计划了，本来一直盼望着回Atlanta一个星期，跟朋友们叙叙旧的，sigh.... 下次吧～
本来这个月打算搬出去租房子的，这个计划也暂时搁置了，有空再说吧～
把一大堆事情放下来的感觉真好，突然轻松了很多。周末打算去IKEA转转，说不定买个大桌子回来就爽了。
Anyway，接下来还有两个trips。Google的west coast trip: Feb.4--Feb.6。虽然公司今年取消了往年的ski trip，但提供了另外的两个选择：1. Disneyland trip; 2. desert camping trip。据说绝大多数人都选了disney trip,所以就要集体飞到LA的Disney包场游玩了～
Feb.15--Feb.17 EA friends Yosemite camping trip. 现在想想都觉得冷，看来要马上开始锻炼身体御寒了～
March.1--March.7 possible visiting friends: Li Zhen, 狗狗，小璐，小5 ～
最近一直很想念Georgia的朋友们，想起在Tech的一点一滴，想起与朋友们一起为project通宵，想起一次次周末集体出去买菜，在Atlanta可怜的几个中餐馆腐败，想起与大家一起"集资"买小破车，想起florida trip，lake lanier trip，savannah trip，stone mountain trip，想起一些彻夜的长谈…… 猛然之间才发现自己已经告别学生生活好久了……
not only Georgia friends，好想跟从小到大所有的朋友都keep in touch，经常打打电话，结果发现自己的时间总是少的可怜，即使知道有些朋友在想念我，我也特别想念他们，但也拿不起电话了，MSN也很少用了。于是自己安慰自己说：大家一定都过得很好，我们都在同一片蓝天下彼此思念着…… January 16 祸不单行本来最近一大大大大大大堆事情已经很焦头烂额了，昨天凌晨4点钟server crash，被自动pager传呼5次。醒来了，但却没有听到pager，害得secondary pager carrier也被彻底搞醒，凌晨爬起来上网。一个星期之内第二次了，sigh....
晚上又出了个小车祸，瑟瑟寒风中，前轮胎彻底废了，11点钟等着road assistance把备用胎换上。麻烦的是明天连买轮胎的时间都没有，一个会接一个会，整个一下午的interview training。想干的事情永远干不完，麻烦的事情一件接着一件。什么时候是个头？ January 01 新年第一贴写点流水帐。
12月26日-12月30日与十几个朋友在Lake Tahoe一个很漂亮的湖景房子里住了几天。连续吃了4天的小肥羊火锅，火锅面条，滑滑雪，看看电影，杀杀人，喝喝啤酒，玩玩poker，蛮happy的。
31日晚Maggie和Xiao Min的生日party，先在Todai restaurant，随后十几个人去了Hu Rong家里DDR+keyboard+cake。
转眼2007就这样过去了。回头想想，没干什么大事。只有年初的那个学期稍微忙了忙，之后的整个一年就是在悠荡中度过的。5月份到8月份是彻底荒废的，之后进了公司也是磨磨蹭蹭，十月份才真正动手开始做事。每天至少睡上9个小时，上班越来越晚，直到最后每天11:30am上班，直接吃午饭，每天效率都很低，想想真的很不象话！2008年，最想做的事情就是改改生活习惯了。
祝大家新年快乐，心想事成。
