Diary of work — Oct 12th, 2007

1. Words to Learn
Every time I take the subway, I am so boring. But today there was a bit different, because I learned two words from a girl's English textbook—Grade 4 of Primary School in Beijing. Her mom was helping her to recite some new words:
Squirrel 松鼠
leopard 豹子
As the saying goes: The leopard cannot change its spots.江山易改，本性难移。

localization/internationalization

2. daily work report

Some questions raised in yesterday's interview：
What's the difference between UTF-8, UTF-16 and Unicode?
How to deal with irrecognizable codes?
Describe what you will do to achieve your career objectives in 3 years.

3. Up Close to my workmates

Today afternoon when I walked behind the personal manager, a pretty girl, to my working place, the girl suddenly said: One would speak English when he/she steps into this office.
That's an unexpected thing for me, so I became a little nervous. But I attempted to calm down after a while. My oral English is not bad, why should I be scared?

The first thing is to install machinary and equipment.
So many chinglish, not only me, but all of us. hoho
It should be power cord, not power line.
Operating System(OS), just simple words, and my pronunciation is clear enough, why could my superior not catch my meaning?
