Self-introduction

[edit]

I am a researcher with a Ph.D. degree in wireless network and network security areas. Currently I am doing research and development in a SoCal network company. My hobby includes my R&D job and traditional Chinese writings, such as poems (古詩詞格律),literature (古文) and official history records(二十四史).

My user name in zh.wikipedia.org is 霍枯燥.

My user name in zh.wikisource.org is also 霍枯燥, where now I am a sysadmin.

BTW, in my whole lifetime so far, I have played too much with engineering stuffs and history stuffs. In addition, I am not a native speaker of English. The English I have learned is also very engineering-oriented rather than politics-oriented. My English expressions are thus typically point-blank as engines where diplomacy can hardly be found. I wish I could be more diplomatic, but it is as good as it gets.

Favorite quotes (to be translated)

[edit]

自己有了道德而来教训他人,那有什么稀奇;没有道德也能教人,这才见得本领。有学问能教书,不过见得有学问,没有学问而偏能教书,好比无本钱的生意,那就是艺术了。--钱槐聚《谈教训》

Amusing things

[edit]

This user's comments about himself are quite amusing.--Jiejunkong 23:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

What I like here

[edit]
  • A brand-new approach where democratic computing is implemented. I am thinking about explaining the magic of wikipedia's success using analytic results. (Caveats: Now I strictly limit the "success" of wikipedia to those articles without edit-warring. Whenever edit-wars happen, the affected article becomes a political one, even after consensus)
    • Is the second law of thermodynamics involved here? Open systems do not necessarily improve, but closed systems will definitely degenerate.
    • The more, the better. Is complexity theory involved here?
  • Most people who quietly contribute what they know to the world.
  • Two-side stories presented here.

What I don't like here

[edit]
  • Those IQ250 who are very good at explaining things using under-the-table connotations.
    • Example: In the Records of Three Kingdoms, the author Chen Shou(陳壽) left a puzzle to us. According to his record, Emperor Ming of Wei(魏明帝) Cao Rui(曹叡) died at age 36 in the year 239. Thus Cao Rui was born before the year 204, when his biological mother Zhen Luo(甄氏) was the wife of her first husband Yuan Xi(袁熙), the second son of Yuan Shao (袁紹,Cao Wei's major enemy). This implies that Zhen Luo 's second husband Cao Pi(曹丕) left the entire Cao Wei Empire to his enemy's descendent. Either the author didn't know how to count, or we have a nasty connotation now. Was Cao Pi really so stupid? My personal opinion is that such connotations are useless since they breed no new ideas by hiding somewhere. This only served Chen Shou 's personal interest of smearing Cao Wei as he was serving Jin Dynasty, Cao Wei's successor.
  • Irresponsible deletion. It takes much more time to figure out a better write-up than to delete something.
  • A missing user evaluation system.

What's going on?

[edit]

Busy at zh.wikisource.org, it's a tough job to input ancient manuscripts (many characters are missing in modern language) into wiki.

Non-experts vs. Experts

[edit]

In every field, there are rules and politics. Many people follow the (imperfect) rules and play ordinary politics. Typically, this probabilistic social system works fine. However, if some (self-asserted, self-promoted) outsiders jump in due to some unexpected probabilistic events, then the ordinary politics in the field may be screwed and the insiders are in trouble.

Do not distort history

[edit]

You've studied history then don't distort the history as property of entity, you have been arguing Goguryeo history is Chinese or Korean countless times, yet all you care is including Goguryeo as or under Chinese history which is nonsense because no Chinese have contributed to Goguryeo culture and heritage. These who distort history will only be seen as insecure people.--Korsentry 03:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
