Dump that damn alu

Posted on by

I bought lu lucent tech stocks back about 10 years ago, 200 at $4.05. Then suddenly in 2006, alcatar bought lu, so my 200 stocks becomes 39 shares of alu at about 14 when lu dropped to 2.05.

Someday I will dump this sucker. Now it became a penny stock, it is just 39 shares so I don,t bother to sell it, just assume I lost all the 800 bucks, back in 10 years ago.

Lessons learned: buy and hold will not bring you anywhere. You need to have a plan or strategy, an exit strategy to know when to get out of the game.

日子

Posted on by

日子在俗务中匆匆飞逝，没有停留的片刻。这一生，本没有什么意义，有的只是我们对每个细节的关注，让我们无法自拔。也许这样更好，因为跳出人生的细节往远处看，人生不免是一种虚无。就像信上帝一样，人生的意义是你赋予的，你觉得它有意义，它便有意义；如果觉得没有，它便是没有。

从最先进的哈勃望远镜遥望太空，让我们对我们的地球以及我们自己，不免叹息。我们简直太渺小了，竟不如宇宙中的一粒微尘。我们是什么呢，帝王将相又是什么呢，是尘，是土，是一阵微风。

可微小如人类的动物却是这个宇宙中最不自知最为狂妄的。这是我们这个世界历经千年依然混乱依然动荡不安的根本原因。

Weird Jenkins Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: hudson/model/ComputerSet

Posted on by

I finally got passed that Jenkins NoClassDefFound error when managing nodes… Now no such errors and the system was back. The slave machines are back to work and projects are building now!

The Jenkins error message (the log jenkins.log is under /var/log/jenkins/ in a standard standalone Linux installation) does not make sense and was misleading:

May 29, 2012 3:03:32 PM hudson.triggers.SafeTimerTask run

SEVERE: Timer task hudson.model.LoadStatistics$LoadStatisticsUpdater@12c8855 failed

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: hudson/model/ComputerSet

at hudson.model.LoadStatistics$LoadStatisticsUpdater.doRun(LoadStatistics.java:215)

at hudson.triggers.SafeTimerTask.run(SafeTimerTask.java:54)

at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:512)

The class was there. We just need to remove nodeMonitor.xml when migrating Jenkins instance.

nodeMonitors.xml: when migrating to another instance of Jenkins, remove the old nodeMonitors.xml to solve that NoClassDefFound erroe/issue as follows:

sudo  mv /var/lib/jenkins/nodeMonitors.xml /var/lib/jenkins/nodeMonitors.xml.old

nodeMonitors.xml will be automatically generated.

During the time I tried to resolve the issue, I also tweaked the JDK setting in Jenkins config. I added a jdk named jdk1.6-/usr/java/default/bin/java with JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/default

Be sure to take this out in Jenkins config if you are using slaves; it depends on slave machines env varianle JAVA_HOME. Adding this only confuses the salve machine as this overrides its local JAVA_HOME setting. If your master machine is Linux and your slave machine is Windows(like for building .net applications we we also are doing, in addition to Java jobs), this will definitely cause an error: incorrect JDK home.

Here is what I got from google cache:

Why did we close the doors?

It’s simple. AMA still works. Google are targeting networks which confirms one thing. Networks work. And they work too well. But this targeting, it’s being done by manual intervention.

Our first priority, is to protect the network, and how that network works. We’ll improve how our system works. We’ll tighten our belts. We were the first, and we’ll likely be the last. But understand one thing.

If AMA does go the way of the dodo, we’ll man up and tell you. To any networks that are still running, grow some balls and be honest.


新奥尔良

Posted on by

Big Easy, 美酒，佳肴，喧闹的波旁街，优雅的建筑，静处一隅的花园区，死一般静寂的圣路易斯公墓，这些，都还不是新奥尔良的全部。

犹如饮一盅百年的佳酿，你需要慢慢去品味，你还需要时间，去细想它种种的妙味。

如果你去过美国很多的城市，为它们来去匆匆的人群和似曾相识的食物而倍感单调，你一定要去新奥尔良。

如果你所去的目的不外乎是几顿新奇的美味，和法式西（班牙）式的建筑，新奥尔良难免会让你失望。但你若是敞开心扉让新奥尔良去浸润，就像微雨轻洒在油纸上，你会发现，你竟会慢慢消融在这座城市里。

阳光下的新奥尔良固然有她的艳丽，可我觉得阴霾下、细雨中的BIG EASY却是美妙无比。撑一把伞，走在也许有些破旧的街道上，最好是在花园区长长的街巷里，有百年的古橡树从街道两旁伸出枝来，是天然的绿色走廊。缀以南方特有的Spanish Moth，古树有如在烟幕中，神秘而忧伤。当你沉静在这刹那的伤感中时，远处教堂的钟声，有时是游船上汽笛的乐音，会慢慢地把你唤回现实。

 这就是新奥尔良，一切似乎都充满矛盾，却又彼此消融。当你正为一根电线竿上被各种广告钉得千疮百孔不堪入目而蹙眉时，眼前却突然一亮，嵌花的金属阳台围栏上，各色盆载花卉争奇斗艳，垂下的藤蔓在风中优雅摇曳。当你厌倦于波旁街的攘攘人流时，花园区为你准备了清寂，或者干脆向西北走走，墓区的独特风景，悬棺，还有精致与颓败的墓冢之交相杂陈，也许更让人流连。

在入住的Royal街假日酒店旁，坐在驾驶座等人。旁边，街对面，是一个新奥尔良的流浪汉。在新奥尔良，我遇到过好多个这样的流浪汉，但这么近距离地观察他们，却是第一次。他就这么悠闲地抽着烟，啜着旁边的可乐，眼神悠然凝望远方的天空，时而又回过头来看着街道上熙来攘往的人群。我把他作为新奥尔良的一道风景，但显然，我也是他欣赏中的一道风景中的一个。因为有几次，我们有过眼光的交接，我们彼此都没有惊讶，也没有有意的回避。他的目光是悠然从容的，那是一种取舍之后、大智慧中孕育的从容不迫，让我相信，流浪，是一种生活方式。我们这些为俗利奔波的游客，何曾有过如此悠然的时光，享受身心的静谧？
