经过9个月的精雕细琢之后，Nicky终于放出了自己的iBlue主题。效果见本站
之前我也在用Nicky的主题，不过是这个主题的原始版，这次的iBlue感觉相当不错，极其符合我的风格。推荐一下。

This is one of my articles in university. It may take you a little longer to read.
What is the best teaching method? Different people have different answers. The famous ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates’ teaching method is well-known for its efficiency and its unique style. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of teaching method? Is it the best teaching method?
About Socrates
The most interesting and influential thinker in the fifth century was Socrates, whose dedication to careful reasoning transformed the entire enterprise. Since he sought genuine knowledge rather than mere victory over an opponent, Socrates employed the same logical tricks developed by the Sophists to a new purpose, the pursuit of truth. Thus, his willingness to call everything into question and his determination to accept nothing less than an adequate account of the nature of things make him the first clear exponent of critical philosophy.
Although he was well known during his own time for his conversational skills and public teaching, Socrates wrote nothing, so we are dependent upon his students for any detailed knowledge of his methods and results. The trouble is that Plato was himself a philosopher who often injected his own theories into the dialogues he presented to the world as discussions between Socrates and other famous figures of the day. Nevertheless, it is usually assumed that at least the early dialogues of Plato provide a (fairly) accurate representation of Socrates himself.
About Socrates’ Teaching
Now that we have looked at the life of Socrates, we can turn to an examination of his particular approach in educating. What techniques did he use to facilitate learning?

周4晚间blog不能访问，经查是dreamhost的DNS出了问题，官方的blog也做出了通知，受影响的用户不在少数。因为我这个域名是dreamhost送的，所以解析不正常。这个是我昨天在另一个blog上写的几句牢骚。
My Chinese blog is down! coz’ Dreamhost got some critical problem here.
I’ve been with Dreamhost for about 6 months and I appreciate its good quality with a reasonable price. Yet, about 3 months later after I paid the bill. It happened to encountered problems several times. My sites were down for 4 times or so. It really sucks! You guy using dreamhost have any ideas about this?
How do we figure this out?
昨天我在blog写了我注册了bloggerwave，刚才发现我的blog已经被验证通过了。理所当然，要拿写一篇review来谈谈Bloggerwave。
我玩博客比较晚，似乎是微软在中国开放msn space之后，才逐步接触blog。msn的space用了有近两年，中间曾经换过别的，也曾经间断过，想写就写，不写就拉到，反正我也不花钱。正是因为这种心态，我很难认真而持久地去经营自己的博客。
乐趣总是暂时的，经历了时光的流淌，一切都容易被遗忘。直到去年年底，不知道怎么心血来潮，就想自己买个域名和空间来写blog，最后在Dreamhost花了近200大洋，换来了现在的这个blog。我这个blog是很杂的，乱七八糟什么都写，但是没有什么特别专业和特别有价值的东西，我也不算个专业的blogger，所以也倒没啥流量。不能自给自足的blog，在我眼中看起来多么孱弱无力，我也希望它能自己养活自己，不用我每年再花近千的费用。
之前我也看到过别人谈reviewme和feedsky的话题广告，我觉得挺麻烦的，也赚不了多少钱。所以让我提不起多大的兴趣去参与，再加之事情也比较多，所以也就一拖再拖。昨天看到有人介绍bloggerwave，而且连详细的注册过程都有了，于是我就顺手注册了一下。我选择Bloggerwave是因为：
1,刚起步不久，入门要求低。
2,对于话题的要求也比较合理，没有过多的很啰嗦的要求。
3,是英文的，哪天要是突然想写个英文的review的话，也可以顺手来写。
如果你想来点简单的付费评论的话，不妨也来试试Bloggerwave吧。
首先声明一点，这个题目不是说我要炒股或者买基金，只是学习一些理财方面的知识，合理分配收入和支出，提高幸福感。其实我多少一直在看一些，但是总是零零散散，没有很强的目标性和系统性。
我现在决定去学习，纯属自学，连入门都不知道该从何入手。不过没关系，我相信这算不上什么大问题，我相信我可以搞定的。我会利用英语的优势，多阅读一些外国的网站，正如爱搞搞所说，国外的这方面走得比较领先，很多免费的资料都能通过互联网获取。通过英文来学习理财，在这个同时也是对英文的一种学习，正如用英文去解释一个英语单词的意思一般，这种思维才是重要的。
先从外汇(forex)开始入门，因为我们的主编最近在研究这个，也好有人做个交流。一涉及到我不太了解的东西我就google之，搜索引擎的强大是令人难以置信的。在学习的过程中，我会逐步接触一些其他领域的金融工具，为自己将来的做一个较为合理的理财计划。我没打算做这方面的专业工作，所以也没指望赚大钱，只是希望能够通过合理的规划，改掉过去一些不合适的消费和理财观念以及习惯。
