Student Gambling Experience

A few days ago received a letter from the United Kingdom, in which he described his experience of gambling in the UK.

Shenyang, twenty-year-old parents to take me to the UK. I have spent to send students home most of the savings, even if the parents live frugally in the country so I have to sink a lot of living expenses, so that I may study in the UK.

A few months getting used to the UK British life, as I began to like the other students, work-study in the UK to reduce the burden on parents.

In the UK two years I am very seriously, every day at school is to work, school is also relatively good.

But a long time, the novelty had to go abroad, and feel a great pressure on the outside, very monotonous, doing the same thing every day, and brings loneliness. Due to boredom with the chance to study with students entering the casino, the students play baccarat, baccarat play is very simple, I soon learned, I was attracted to this play. Each time when bored I'll play a few to go to the casino. I like the excitement of gambling and the kind of indescribable pleasure, I will be winning every time very excited. Gambling became my only entertainment in the UK.

At first win in the casino money. I play are small, so I left to win one hundred pounds, even after only 10 pounds to win the heart, too.

But if the time to play well, lost, I probably would have lost several months of wages, until the house of the pocket all the money gambled. To lose, it always feels under the brand win, win, under the brand may have been lost. The more they want to win back lost also. I know there should not win back the heart, but I tried several times is unable to control. Year have lost 67 times, add up to have a one of 25,000 pounds. The rest are in the win a little money. After that I became obsessed with the basic baccarat instant noodles every day to eat and some cheap kind, is to save enough money to play baccarat. Sometimes I really have no money to play the fool families, so the family to send money.

Baccarat two fell in love with the things I often think that, on where to get money to the casino. To be honest gambling tired the past two years, then you can not make money, you can lose time, how to make it, a lot of reasons I know everything, but in the Verge of the time, I had completely lost control. Two years I have said many lie, lie in the parents a lot of money. I just want to go gambling entertainment to relax before the next, searching for what stimulation. But gambling on the go when I do not think so much, as long as the lost, no money has been lost to date.

I cheated because of gambling in the country hard-working parents, affecting their studies.

Some Thoughts On Freelance

07,08 some of my freelance period in some of my feelings and harvest. After all, is very easy a question and answer.

First, ask yourself doing freelance at the time of that state of feeling, which is important experience or harvest?

This problem has two interpretations: one is to ask I feel at that time; the other was his own feelings.

Now recall, is that the liberal professions and business, there are two different feelings, but all I like the feeling, it can be said that each has its advantages. Freelance, when life is freedom, flexibility, there are a lot of time with my girlfriend. However, products of the project, there is no control, there is no way to operate a big business, these are the business before you can appreciate;

At that time, the feeling, is relatively simple: freedom, its own way. With you now feel a lot of freelancers should be similar.

Experience and the harvest, I think mainly two things:

Expression and logic
Since I do the project more exposure to European and American people, logical thinking and communication skills to improve the most. Europe and the Chinese people do not like, they are more powerful, especially when there is logic behind it, so there are objections to the project, if you do not know the expression, or fuzzy logic, any comments will be shot back;
Time management
I do the project more independent. Therefore, unlike the original work, as someone you manage progress. I had a lot of progress to control, communicate with people. Said one way, the business and found more time to improve management capacity, if the lack of capacity, suffer a great start;
Second, now you have to start a business, if your company has outsourced to freelance, then you have to pick what kind of package requirements? Give them some advice?

Currently our main demand is the art of outsourcing this one. I simply look at it:

Professional skills must be excellent, even beyond the full-time employees. Must have previous work to prove their abilities;
Have a project, the progress of management concepts, know how to return to work agreement on how the meeting. Google Docs, Calendar, or to master these tools can quickly understand, is very important;
Know how to send e-mail, basic skills, such as the reply to all, CC, BCC, etc.;
In accordance with the agreed time, regular face to face communication;
Third, as the Employer, you have complete freedom to work in part-time and freelancers have different views?

As the Employer, I actually do not mind whether the other part-time. Originally the project is a freelance contract rather than on people. He does not come to my work. I only care about the project progress, quality, integrity of intellectual property rights, and so on. # 2 can actually listed a few points well, I am very happy.

Fourth, the current will be on your freelance needs? What the future, this demand will likely change?

Above # 2 said that. Some, mainly art needs. The art of the future will demand little change.

In fact, the needs of freelancers, there are several characteristics can be summarized:

Large, relatively the same work content;
Independent, such as I had done on Google and Automattic is a standalone product (such as VideoPress front-end design and implementation, and now there may be other changes);
Highly specialized, both sides need to focus on docking interface;


The need for close communication and team work , it does not find freelancers to do. Not because freelancers poor, but because of time and communication costs and other factors cause this choice will inevitably lose-lose.

Mobile Web App For Interactive Design

HTML5 to improve the mobile web experience provides many possibilities, interaction effect of getting close to the native App, therefore a Web App, APP function is expected to lead the browser to allow competition in the mobile platform by the platform turned to browser room.

Compared to native App Web App and wap has its own advantages and disadvantages, the first of its characteristics under simple to understand, master design trends, but also for later in the design application.

Off-line storage

Offline storage means is a first visit to the download page, after the case in the absence of network can also be used. An offline application is a URL list-HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, or other types of resources. Access to the server list when detecting cache list, it will trigger the download event, according to the list of specified files to download local.

In short, the interaction can be designed in accordance with the native App of the way, the effect will become increasingly close, the main difference is:

• 1 to take into account the design of the browser address bar and toolbars occupy space, and its App operation there is a certain impact.
• 2 system calls are not suited to low-level interface, more suitable for mobile phone web site to do the branch version of the adapter.
• 3 Due to the limitations of HTML, the details of interaction there are some differences.
• 4 dynamic efficiency not large-scale application, but Web App Interface operation will be more smooth, the smoothness of the interface jump when moving now, and later there are more dynamic effect to be applied.
• 5 At this stage the information architecture mixed with the native App and wap way the two architectures.

Switzerland threatened to shut down Google Street View service

Google threatened, unless the Swiss Supreme Court overturned a requirement the company must ensure that all street faces and pictures are blurred vehicle license determination, or they will shut down Street View service in Switzerland.

In a country is so far off Google Street View privacy suit for violations of the most intense reaction. Street View is a completely closed embarrassing move, because Google is headquartered in Switzerland.

Although the street photos of human faces and car license have been obfuscated, but still raises privacy concerns in many countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Japan and Finland.

Google Street View shut down will affect about 1,000 Swiss websites that provide travel information services using street or real estate services. Since Google 2009 in Switzerland since the launch of Street View, Street View provides 212 million photos.

Google last month announced that it will no longer take street photos in Germany. Israel is considering whether to let Google take street photos, worried that these photos will be used by terrorists. Google in Finland to provide a tool that can photograph the people on the street faces and car license for further obfuscation.
