Met a faker on ebay
I was going to sell my Toshiba Laptop on ebay. During the 7 days bid, I got many emails to try to pay me over $2000 to let me mail Laptop to Nigeria. I knew they are fakers, so I just ingored them.
I was happy when I saw the bidding amount was rising day by day. Yesterday is final day, and the bid growing from $380 to $600. Finally as guy whose ebay ID is Jazzman06 bid it with $687.
I had a feeling that the guy is a faker after I emailed him after bidding, because he did not reply me. I got a Paypal confirmation that $787 was added into my Paypal account this morning, but it is very easy to determine it is a spoolf email, for the email was not sent from Paypal server.
I decided to make a second offer to the next bidder tomorrow. Unfortunately, that guy called Ebay to cancel the bid for the reason that the bid was took place without the account owner's authorization, and Ebay just removed my list. What the hell this world is?!
I don't know how many fakers on ebay, and I just wanted to sell something. Although, those fakers do not have a deep fake-skills, but what could I do? I cannot find any wrong I did during this trade that could avoid this situation. Maybe I just was out of luck.
Good luck next time! :)

Time vs. Money
"Time is Money" is one of most famous wisdoms. It seems to be a real no brainer - even a little kid can figure out. Our income is counted by time, either annuual salary or timerate payment.
To earn money you must spend time, which is the same to everyone. Only different is that how much you will get for spending the same amount of time. Therefore, the very important thing is that how to use your time efficiently. This is not a easy question. I believe people who can controls his/her time must be smart and rich.
Everybody has 24 hour per day. It seems like you cannot spend every second on earning money. On the contrary, it seems you often spend money on killing time. However everyone need good rest after hard working, therefore, You enjoy time by spending money is actually for earning money.
"Time is Money". So don't waste time, but master time. Unfortunately, it is no so easy :(
P.S. I spent a lot of time on finding a cheap and good frame glasses in the past few days. Finally, I go back to my initial decision. SIGN! IS IT NECESSARY?
DON'T BE SO PICKY!
DON'T BE SO VACILLATED!

Dell Battery Recall
As you may be aware, Dell Corp. has recently discovered that a large number of notebook betteries carry a malfunction risk. Now Dell starts bettery recall program, which gives me a feeling that Dell is a great company for his service.
My company's laptops are all bought from Dell. The one I am using now is Dell Latitude D610. I received the note this morning to visit Dell Bettery Return Programm Web to identify whether or not an at-risk battery is installed in my unit.
There are two steps to identify:
1. Model
2. PPID (Dell Part Piece Identification)
My battery was passed at first step check since it is made in Korea. As I know none of my colleagues' batteries needs change.:)
I heard of many negative feedbacks for Dell product's quality. I did not have any Dell's product until I got this D610 from my company. It works great which let me want to try more Dell's products. I even decided to sell my TOSHIBA notebook replaced with a Dell Desktop.
Hopefully, this Battery Storm will not give Dell too much hit. I believe a lot of people like me are expecting a good deal from Dell.

Comcast cable
I found my home high speed internet became very slow in this two day. At the beginning, I thought it may be a problem from my router. (I got this kind of problem before -- reset the router, get back the speed.) But this time I was not luck. I used speakeasy to test the speed. The download was normal around 6000 kbps, but the upload testing was stuck there for a long while.
The Comcast representative I speak to is very nice. He tried to help me starting from the simple network connection check to a little bit professional check at command line. He believed that the Comcast’s Servers was fine, the problem was from some other Hops where every connection need to pass.
I hope it was just network congestion at somewhere, and will be clear at sometime.
PS: one command I learned from Comcast guy:
It will show you how many Hops (intermediate routers) the connection must pass through to get to yahoo sever from your computer.
