Switching Blogs Again!
In a nutshell, the blog has moved to yilinhut.com According to my original plan, ixiezi was just supposed to be a layover station, a place to practice before I bought my own hosting and domain and set up WordPress myself. Later I found that ixiezi’s philosophy and service were both quite good, and I thought I might as well keep using it like this… But in the end I still had to move away. The main problem is that Aixiezi has been terribly slow lately—unacceptably slow. At first, when I started using it, the speed was quite good: exporting XML files could basically reach full speed (over 200k), and refreshing…

Blogcn Really Does Have Log Review After All
This is precisely why it can only serve as a subsidiary base. Yesterday, after the import was finished, I didn’t look too closely. Today, when I checked, I saw that the number of posts under each category had dropped quite a bit. Going into the backend again, it was plainly supposed to have 871 blog entries—so why were there only 641? I went in once more and, sure enough, Chinese-style WordPress is just different: in the entries there was an extra column called “Under Review,” and there lay my missing 227 posts… I suppose they were screened out according to keywords and some algorithm. Even after a day they still…

Initial Setup of the Suixuan Sub-Base Completed
http://philopsychy.blogcn.com/ After blogcn merged with the original yo2, it recently started trying out WordPress. I happened to have an old blogcn account; after digging it out, I found it still usable, so I immediately upgraded it to the WordPress platform. With import/export XML, I quickly copied everything over. But I ran into two problems: first, each imported XML file could be no larger than 2M, so I had to split it into more than ten batches before I could move everything over. Second, after the transfer, the category system became somewhat scrambled: every subcategory was duplicated into two versions—one set with zero posts but retaining the original hierarchical structure, and…

Blog Relocation Effective Today

Blog Relocation Effective Today
I’d been thinking about moving away from Ycool for several years. Ever since the emails I sent to Ycool’s customer-service mailbox reporting bugs and making suggestions all sank without a trace, I began to keep an eye on other blog service providers. But I never found a suitable place. Domestic blog hosts were either too weak in features or too strict in censorship, while the foreign blogs that should have been reachable were all behind the Great Firewall. Of course, more crucially, I care about historical continuity and unity, and I’m unwilling to sever all my old posts and start over from scratch. Yet moving all the old posts over…

The Blog’s Indenture

The Blog’s Indenture
When we register for a free online service, its “terms of service” are often completely ignored. In fact, this thing really ought to be taken seriously; otherwise, before you know it, you’ve signed a deed of sale for yourself. Recently I’ve been looking for alternatives to Ycool Blog, but I still haven’t found anything suitable. I absolutely won’t use Sina Blog, because its terms of service are basically a deed of sale. What I care about mainly are two things: first, privacy protection; second, protection of intellectual property rights. The policies involved differ greatly from one blog to another, and the difference between blogs inside the firewall and those outside…

Has the Yiku server apparently moved to the United States? …
Recently, classmates at school have reported that they can’t open my blog. I checked, and it seems the server has become foreign. Right now it can still be accessed normally on the public internet without needing to climb over the firewall; maybe after a while it will need a VPN…… In any case, the blog data is probably a bit safer, but this can’t go on like this either. Does anyone know a way to move a blog or set up a mirror? ~~~~~~~~ ip138.com IP lookup (searching the geographic location of an IP address) www.ycool.com >> 204.152.221.22 This site’s primary data: United States Reference data 1: United States Reference…

Notes from Today’s Xindao Salon, 10-01-09 [Penultimate Issue?]
Next week (January 16) may be the final session of the Xindao Salon. How we’ll do things next semester, we can talk about it after the New Year~ My Xindao membership card has been pretty much used up, but amazingly there are still seventeen or eighteen free drinks left. So next week, come a few people and help me drink them up……

Miscellaneous Notes from This Issue’s Xindao Salon 10-01-02
Happy New Year, everyone~ Today the salon is still open as usual, but no one else came. For the next two weeks the salon will still be running as normal, and toward the end of January I may be heading back to Shanghai. The New Island Salon may then draw to a close, and next semester it should move somewhere else. When I came this morning, I was told that the non-smoking area was not open because it was a holiday and there were few people; there was no service, no lights, and no heating. Still, I insisted on sitting down inside. Luckily there was power and internet, so reading…

09-12-24 Walking on the Ice of Weiming Lake
Back when I was an undergraduate, I used to wander around Weiming Lake every few days. Over the past two years I’ve clearly become lax about it—not because I’ve gotten lazy (laziness has always been my constant), but because of changes in my surroundings and in my state of mind, I suppose. Of course, the change of residence is the main reason. I had long planned to return to Weiming Lake. By “return,” I mean not only finding time to come back and circle it, but also, crucially, circling it in a particular frame of mind. Though I haven’t exactly never gone around it during ordinary times, I also haven’t…

Notes from Today’s Xindao Salon, 09-10-10 [Part 1 of the Special Topic on “Science and the View of Life”]
One of the themes in Science and View of Life Today’s plan was to kick off the activities of the “Science and View of Life” discussion group. Yesterday I sent a mass email to the students who had signed up with me for the group, saying that they were welcome to drop by my salon today for an informal chat. Although I had not set my expectations very high, I had still hoped that at least two or three of the twelve would come, so that there would be something to discuss. The result was regrettable: only Xiao Zhou showed up. Although Xiao Zhou was a newcomer, visiting the salon…
