It has been three weeks since the last time I wrote a weekly report. Recently, I’ve been wanting to go back to the northern region to visit my family. A few days ago, I told my leader that I would be taking a week off. I will be flying to Beijing on the 27th of this month to meet my brother and sister, and then go to my hometown.

Recently, I have been studying AWS platform and GitHub Actions for automation purposes. I plan to gradually accomplish project building, deployment, logging, tracing, and performance monitoring. If there are no other tasks, I intend to work on these during my vacation.

I have taken a guitar lesson for 2 weeks, from half a month ago, I started playing guitar as before. There are some interesting friends at the milk tea shop on Saturday, someone sings songs well, and someone plays musical instruments well, I’m glad to enjoy music.

Labour Day is coming soon, and my roommate asked me if there are any places there are not to crowded and fun to go to. Last year we went to a small island, but I haven’t decided where to go this time yet. I was thinking of just relaxing in Beijing, but there isn’t much to do there. There’s a good chance we’ll just stay in Guangdong province this year.

It has passed a month since I go hiking last time. I took 6 hours across the “dong xi chong” and then back to the beginning place with my frend on Saturday. At several monthes ago, I ran 4 kilometers every day, however, after a 6-kilometer attempt, my body couldn’t adapt. And one day a person told me that i looked fat than before suddenly, although I never deliberately try to lose weight, I want to maintain a normal appearance. So I decided to resume running 5 kilometers every day as before.

In the past week,GPT-4 has gone viral on the internet, and every one around me is disscussing topics related to it.As an old movie “The Matrix” shows, AI will become increasingly powerful,i believe it will eventually take over all aspects of our lives.

I took part in an interesting meeting on Friday night,and it was my first time participating in a meeting in English.Although my English level is average,my forign friend could still understand what i was trying to say.

When it comes to speaking English, most people worry that they can’s express themselves correctly due to their poor English.However,the foreigners can still understand what they say means even if they speak poorly.

I went skiing with friend on Saturday, now i can control the speed easily.The last time we went skiing in Guangzhou was in 2021.
After skiing, we had barbecue. After a night’s rest, we went to play tennis with friends the next day.

This week i spent some time learning about Golang’s concurrency features.By the way, I learned about the nft implementation of blockchain.

Reading book 《坏蛋是怎样炼成的》，it has pass 15 years since i read it first time.Once i feel be lack of power, i will reread this novel.

From this report, i just start writing in English as much as possible.
I had a short but insightful conversation with a fellow open-source enthusiast over the phone. As mentioned in my year-end review, I felt that my involvement in open-source projects had decreased in 2022 compared to 2021 (partly due to maintaining my company’s open-source projects). This year, I plan to sacrifice some of my social time to invest my energy in more active open-source projects, and try to shift discussions about PRs and issues from WeChat to email for better asynchronicity.

6km

On Wednesday, I listened to an episode of GGTalk podcast and decided to run 2km more than my usual 4km, but stopped because I had to work the next day. I hope to achieve the goal of running a half-marathon distance at one time this year.
