建一个网站最好的时间是十五年前，其次是大大大前年
第二次用手机更新网页，第一次是网站刚做好的时候，只隔几年，发现用手机更网站变得这么不容易，网络已向另一个方向发展了，做一个网站已不是一个合时宜的方法，现在大家可能在做公众号。
又是一年，疫情仍然没有结束，当时出行的时候，想着这个疫情几个月之后怎么也结束了，没想到持续了两年，还是这个样子。
在疫情的第一年，天天到超市买酒，酒真是又多又便宜，一个月下来，每次出门都买不一样的，专门买了一个茶杯，喝红茶，喝红酒，喝啤酒🍺。晚上睡前，葡萄酒兑一点点度数高点的酒，喝了就暖洋洋地睡了。葡萄酒主要是白葡萄、红葡萄，高度酒主要是伏特加，波旁等，这些酒都这么便宜，但没想象中的那么烈。。。
而现在偶都已不喝酒了。。。
There is an archaeological exhibition in Wanlin Art Museum. The epilogue of the exhibition says as follows:
“The millennial ceramics, the resplendent bronze… gazing at the silent cultural relics one by one, we constantly hear the echo of history. The potteries of different archaeological cultures demonstrate the migration and multiplication of the ancestors on the land of Jingchu. The massive bronze sacrificial vessels recreate the military and ceremonial glory of the Bronze Age. The rich and diverse funerary objects depict the various social conditions at that time as well as the simple and ardent expectations after death. The plain, lustrous and transparent porcelains portray people’s aesthetic concepts and artistic pursuit in various periods.”
Looking at the exhibition, I was thinking what archaeologists in the future may find about the cultural heritage of our age. Everything is in digital, no ceramics, no bronze, nothing but digital arts. We are trying to put everything into digital. It is more vivid, easier to reproduced and distributed, but is it really a strong way for preservation and sustainability of human culture and civilization? Digital information is actually fragile. It could be easily eliminated by an electromagnetic storm or become invalid due to single bit error. On the contrary, those characters carved on stones travels through thousands of years to our age.
Similar thinking about human civilization is in the science fiction “赡养上帝”.
The presentation attached at the end of this post was from Colin Jones.
(Refresh a few more times if the pptx is not shown properly. Either Google Doc viewer or Microsoft office viewer has some problems in some special zones of the Internet.)
Some cases shown in the presentation are from us. It is an interesting and overlapping area to be explored and we have been in this area for more than 20 years. More and more novel and interesting topics in this area have been discovered and we keep on widen their application potential in different engineering areas.
PS: there was a news that the EK Co. was merged to the RSK.
I went back several times to the EU but not to the UK again and it has been around 15 years.
Hope to travel again when the pandemic ends.
