2020真是不寻常的一年啊。到今天为止，我才发现，我居然一篇Blog都没有更新。周边的一个公园都没有去逛过。基本上一直都待在住处，不出门。

想说点什么……………………………….

希望疫情赶快过去吧~

对了，顺便抱怨一下eBay的收费。

在eBay上卖了个$80的电脑配件，结果eBay和Paypal抽水$12.9，到手上就只有$67.1。高达16.13%的抽水啊！还是怀念国内的闲鱼，转转。哈哈！

不过这边也有无担保的交易平台，比如Craiglist，letgo，Facebook market等等。但是疫情期间，实在不想接触交易…… 唉~！

长期隔离，真是非常锻炼人的意志力。所有想吃的都只有自己弄了。真是吃货被逼成大厨~

好吧，就先YY到这吧。希望大家一切都平安。平安是福啊！

突然发现网站不能访问了，虽然访问量不大。但是毕竟也是维护了多年的心血。还是给它重新找一个家吧。

翻了半天，找到一个新的VPS – UpCloud。 测了一下，速度还不错哦。有点DigitalOcean一开始的感觉。

试用了几天，感觉不错，搬！

现在它还有Referral Program. 通过下面这个Link来注册的话，你就会有$25的Credit。不错吧？

用了三年多了DigitalOcean，最近发现Vultr的性价比更高，速度更快。

还犹豫什么？换！

目前感觉速度还不错~ 有海外虚拟机需求的朋友可以关注了。

The ability to negotiate successfully in today’s turbulent business climate can make the difference between success and failure. With this in mind, Ed has reevaluated his list of top ten negotiation tips. Here are Ed Brodow’s Ten Tips for Successful Negotiating updated for the year 2016:

1. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. Successful negotiators are assertive and challenge everything – they know that everything is negotiable. I call this negotiation consciousness. Negotiation consciousness is what makes the difference between negotiators and everybody else on the planet.

Being assertive means asking for what you want and refusing to take NO for an answer. Practice expressing your feelings without anxiety or anger. Let people know what you want in a non-threatening way. Practice ‘I’ statements. For example, instead of saying, “You shouldn’t do that,” try substituting, “I don’t feel comfortable when you do that.”

Note that there is a difference between being assertive and being aggressive. You are assertive when you take care of your own interests while maintaining respect for the interests of others. When you see to your own interests with a lack of regard for other people’s interests, you are aggressive. Being assertive is part of negotiation consciousness.

“Challenge” means not taking things at face value. It means thinking for yourself. You must be able to make up your own mind, as opposed to believing everything you are told. On a practical level, this means you have the right to question the asking price of that new car. It also means you have an obligation to question everything you read in the newspaper or hear on CNN. You cannot negotiate unless you are willing to challenge the validity of the opposing position. 继续阅读 »

这段时间网站服务器都不稳定，不清楚是不是被Compromised了。

查了一下也没有查出来。系统里面也没什么可疑的东西。有时候重启正常，有时候重启了还是不行。

没办法，只有重做系统了。保持最小系统看看到底是什么问题。

强烈怀疑是ISPCONFIG导致，但是又找不到确凿的证据…

不过在重装系统以后终于可以放心的开始更新Blog了。哈哈
