The Age Without Lyrics

我现在住的地方，朝南的阳台望出去，就是CBD那一片高高矮矮的楼。

各方面，各种方面，各种各样的方面。

来来来，这两天做了件挺牛x的事儿，哈哈，打TapDefense打了几天，昨天夜里第一次打到了“全球第一”的位置，今天又打了几个新地图，现在在共计六个图里面已经有两个图我是第一了，还有一个图随便打了打就排在第四。目前这个成绩已经保持了24小时没有被挑战过了，哈哈。

前天在宣武医院拍MRI，在外面等的时候竟然发现有wifi, 大喜，立刻掏出touch来
继续我的cydia和app store。。。连护士叫都差点没听见。进去以后，就是把人躺
着送进一个类似于大洗衣机似的地方，噪音很大，不到五分钟就完了--一分钟200
人民币，贵啊。。。

昨天取了片子，终于看见了自己脑袋扒去骷髅脑壳以后的摸样，眼球好大，很卡
通。。。软呼呼的看上去。。

今天拿着片子来看医生，说脑子没大问题，瘤子血栓梗塞一概没有，那看来就是普
通的神经功能紊乱了，就慢慢吃药调养吧。。。

离开宣武医院的时候又跑到病房楼来上wifi，从app store里下了几个游戏，回去
的公交车上又有事干了，哈哈

爱死宣武医院咯。。

好了，把这个部落blog发出去就公交回家，，byebye宣武医院~

因为要去看医生，所以一大早就起来了。出门，发现地上的方砖之间白白的——好大的霜啊！哦不对，空中怎么还飘着呢？是雪？这个冬天北京晚来的第一场雪？god。。。

回北京第三天了。一回来就生病，感冒，发烧，咳嗽。。。好像人的精神一放松下来，各种积累的毛病就都跑出来了，免疫系统的疲态暴露无遗。恩，也是好事，发现问题，解决问题。。。。

真是诡异，1月19号从北京回到Berkeley，后天又要回去了，相当于就是在Berkeley过了个春节。。。。没见过我这么神经的。

其实也没有什么，就是三个月以来一直犯头晕的毛病，这边校医院土到了没有神经内科的地步，需要找外面的医生来看，Berkeley的医疗系统效率又太低，约个神经科医生需要等半个月，估计约个CT检查又要大半个月，所以。。。我老板说，反正你头晕的看不了书写不了字，呆在这里也没意义，还是回去好好调养一下吧。。。。于是。。。俺就要幸福的回归祖国了。。。这次可是买的单程而不是往返的机票哦。。。。。

最近啊超级忙，办休学手续，转租房子（现在还没彻底搞定），收拾东西。。。。天哪。。。发现自己在这里呆了两年半怎么这么多东西啊，书就装了两个158的大箱子。。。。我看过那么多书么。。。怪不得头晕呢。。哈哈

好了，在米国的狐朋狗友们，俺先告辞一段时间哦，也许夏天就病好回来了，你们大家多保重，不要熬夜，作息要规律，常常锻炼身体，不要学我。。还要多msn我讲讲这边的变化。。尤其是经济危机局势的变化。。。。。。。在中国的狐朋狗友们。。。。。。俺回来了！！！！！！  不过。。。。大吃大喝就算了，医生说，不许吃生冷辣，不许吃鸡肉牛肉羊肉。。。。哎呀，人或者还有什么意思。。。。我明年还要去四川做项目呢，不吃辣怎么混呢。。。。。。。。

n多人，62个人的课大概去了100多人，亚裔为主，气氛及其热烈。

这是第一堂课，没讲太实质的东西，介绍了一下课程计划，讲了讲星际的历史，过了一下历
史上的牛人，从boxer讲到bisu flash jaedong，照片放出来的时候掌声不断。。。

竟然还有教材，alan feng写的theory of starcraft，我过两天去买一本去。。。。

alan feng好像是物理系大二学生，玩星际两年多，现在好像刚刚成为一个pro。这门课还有两个老师，一个是大三学生，一个是已经本科毕业在附近的投行工作的。sponsor是商学院一个交game
theory的老师，说自己也非常喜欢video
game所以很支持这门新课。而且这门课下学期还会有，本学期选不上的以后可以优先选。可能课程还要录下来放youtube上。

另外，这边人基本都上iccup，论级别都是讲ABCD的。

课程主页： berkeleystarcraft.com

因为来上课的人太多，要求所有人报上自己的基本信息，然后从里面选62个人。要求的信息除了基本的个人信息，还有数学水平（推荐要学过微积分和微分方程），APM，iccup上的level。。。。。

我估计他们可能是要用微分方程算各种战术的最佳农民数啊，最佳建筑时间啊之类的。为什么是微分方程呢？因为其实农民采矿的过程就是一个mineral的积分过程嘛。当然要建立在对starcraft世界的基本定律有准确理解的前提下，不知道他们是不是有暴雪内部的信息渠道，要不然农民数量和采矿效率的函数要想精确的得到还是挺麻烦的。估计就是相当于吧大师数字化星际理论用更高级的数学工具扩展一下。

alan的很多观点其实大师都说过的，比如time和attention是最核心的资源，相当于大师说当代星际就是以人类反应和手速为边界条件，寻求最优的战略战术。

可惜我这学期不能上这个课了。今后有机会再上吧。

把课程计划翻译一下：

第一周：课程简介；starcraft历史回顾
第二周：单位，优缺点，属性，统计（估计会介绍基本的攻击属性啊什么的）
第三周：微观战斗和单位使用（讲微操？）
第四周：部队移动和定位选择（有点宏观了）
第五周：expo和宏操作（expo是什么？）
第六周：建筑摆放和基地layout
第七周：侦查和反侦查
第八周：骚扰
第九周：多线；让对手疲于奔命
第十周：经济基础，微操vs宏操
第十一周：时间选择（timing）和资源估计
第十二周：欺骗
第十三周：mindset and series play（真不好翻啊。。。）
第十四周：联赛

看上去还是蛮有趣的。作业是每周上交两个replays和自己对replays的深入分析，优缺点在哪里，如何改进，等等。期末大作业是一个论文，要求学生对某理论、战术或者计算作出深入的原创分析，回馈给广大starcraft玩家并接受peer
criticism。

Syllabus

Course Facilitator: Alan Feng (integral_king@berkeley.edu)

Units: 2 units, Pass/No Pass, CCNs TBA in class or by email

Time and Place:
Thursdays 7-9pm at Haas C230
Lab/Discussion (Optional): 12pm – 5pm 1st floor of Moffitt Library

Course Description:
UC Berkeley students with an interest in real-time strategy games and
the competitive gaming landscape are encouraged to participate in this
class.
This course will go in-depth in the theory of how war is conducted
within the confines of the game Starcraft. There will be lecture on
various aspects of the game, from the viewpoint of pure theory to the
more computational aspects of how exactly battles are conducted.
Calculus and Differential Equations are highly recommended for full
understanding of the course. Furthermore, the class will take the
theoretical into the practical world by analyzing games and replays to
reinforce decision-making skills and advanced Starcraft theory.
Class will start with lecture and usually include a special discussion
topic having to do with the day's lecture to inspire new and original
thought. At the end of lecture, there may be time to analyze
student-submitted replays to illustrate a point or to improve
analysis. Homework will be assigned at the end of each class and is
due at the beginning of each lecture.

Course Learning Objectives and Goals:
What may look like complex topics are just ways we want you to think
more deeply about the game to derive a greater satisfaction from
playing. Furthermore, this understanding should have applications in
real life, to further synthesize new information from limited
inferences. The primary goal is for students to learn, enjoy the art
of competitive StarCraft, and have fun. Overall, students will be
applying critical thinking, quick decision-making, and game theory
skills throughout the sessions. Students will also learn what to look
for in a replay or game to learn most effectively.

Prerequisites:
Students should be familiar with all units and some basic StarCraft
strategy. All students should of course enter the class with an open
and analytic mind.
Starcraft: Brood War

Other Reading:
The Theory of Starcraft by Alan Feng
Suggested:
The Art of War by Sun Tzu
Crazy as Me by Lim Yo Hwan

Attendance and Participation:
All absences must be excused (you should inform the course
facilitators no later than the Friday before) and more than two
absences will result in a grade of "No Pass." Please note that you
will not be able to make up any work you missed during class and that
new material will build on previous weeks' instruction. It is also
expected that students participate by asking questions and voicing
their analytical suggestions during the instruction, and by practicing
with others.

Course Workload:
Each week, students must submit 2 replays of games they played and are
willing to analyze in depth. Students are expected to explain the flow
of the game, identify the time of several positive and negative moves,
and show an understanding of how to overcome mistakes in these
replays. Some replays will be reviewed by the class together.

(Tentative) Course Outline:
Week 1: Orientation / Competitive Gaming Industry Overview / StarCraft
Boom in Korea
Week 2: Units, Strength, Weakness, Attributes, Stats
Week 3: Fighting Micro and Unit Use
Week 4: Army Movement and Positioning

Final Project:
There will be a final project where students will present and explain
their contribution to the Starcraft Community. This may take the form
of an essay detailing new theory or calculations, or an in-depth
analysis of a significant game. Whichever final project is chosen will
be displayed or published on a public forum for peer criticism.

刚才在煮粥，火开大了，忘了关小，不一会儿就糊了，开始冒烟，触发了火警警报器，整个家里响作一团，不一会儿火警的车就来了，原来还是整个town的警报器联网的，天哪。吓死了。
