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

今天一个以外发现一个好用的文本编辑器，第一感觉是比Notepad++好用。

推荐一下给大家都试试：

用了近一个月的Win8.1，感觉其实Win8.1还是很好用的。就是那个专门给触屏设计的那几个程序不伦不类。还好可以直接在开始菜单里面就卸载。

但是呢没有开始菜单总觉得有点不是那么多习惯。网上搜搜，结果发现替代Win8.1开始的程序挺多的。

Pokki https://www.pokki.com/
安装以后会生成一个类似于开始菜单的按钮在任务栏上

Start Menu 8 http://www.iobit.com/iobitstartmenu8.php
这个解决方案就很野蛮了，完全替代了Win8的开始菜单。如果你想使用和Win7一模一样的开始菜单的话，可以试试这个程序。

这个就不错，推荐大家安装。
