On the other side of cloud

Google hold another contest again. This time it wants some gadget(plug-in) for Google Desktop.

When I first time meet Google Desktop, I found it a funny thing. But I decided not to use it. In fact , I am a little afraid Google will take control of my life. Too many things it can do. My feeling is it is too powerful, with great extensibility, leaving no room for other small software. I don’t know why I got this kind of impression. Maybe because I myself also love to write some toy for my using, but the Google Desktop seems(I didn’t study the details) so powerful, beautiful and agilely, I don’t know if it leaves room for small softwares. It makes me a little unhappy.

I am planning to work over Google Desktop’s detail by dint of this contest. At least, I think get a T-shirt is a easy thing.

By the describing of Google Desktop SDK Overview, I found Google Desktop uses COM (however I don’t know if there is better choice). So, take it as my practice of using COM. Good idea .

The deadline is July 31, 2006. I am a little afraid of lacking spare time to work on this. In summer vacation, I am planning to work on KNote, my intern, one of my ideas and this… Maybe COSINE as well. Also some books(include my newly bought “The Art of Computer Programming” and some novels) are on the reading queue. What a substantiate vacation…

In the following two month (or more), I will be work at Oak Pacific Interactive(the owner of mop) in Beijing as a intern. The work is c++ related. After sending countless copys of my resume and successful got the only one which replied(igonred by all others…), this result maybe the best I can imagine.
At the same time, I will be continue my working on KNote improvement - because Michael told me KDE e.V. is planning to hold a “Summer of Code” for KDE itself. No prize but a T-shirt — that doesn’t matter, isn’t it? ^_^ At least, I really want to do something for open source, which also will prove my ability.

The last two months are hard time, and the following two months will be excited.

BTW: I bought “The Art of Computer Programming Volume One”(Chinese version) this week, in order to enhance my knowledge of algorithm and data structure. I strongly feel that more codes I wrote, the more demands on basic knowledge are needed.
