About

Hi there. I’m Ricky Gong, who got a Master’s degree at Technische Universität München in 2019 and currently working as a software engineer at Huawei ’s 2012 Lab. I speak Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese), English and a very tiny bit of German. This site is defined as my notes collection and knowledge base, so its function includes both recording and sharing.

Why this blog?

Since I learned writing in Markdown , I have been used to write down anything I found useful or valuable and keep the notes digitally at some note apps or websites. It’s really a good way indeed to keep my memory vivid against the flush of time, which is enough for me for quite a long time.

However, I gradually realize two main drawbacks of my “note system”. First, it’s not easy to share my notes to someone else, unless they are using the same app or website (with a very little likelihood). Second, when I encounter a problem and be perfectly sure that I wrote something helpful on some of my notes, neither can I rapidly retrieve them nor simultaneously have them rendered in a convenient way.

After a long time of thinking and having many experiments, at last I choose the current form — build up this blog site via a Github Pages -like service¹ and publish my Markdown notes here on the website. In this way, things become simpler:

• To share my note? Send the link!
• Wanna check out specific content? Click the search button top right!

And even better:

• Git comes in to play and I can do version management!
• Raw materials can be open-sourced!

Except there’s a bit more work for me to do. But that’s fine. I’m a nice guy ;)

对中文读者

以前我所有的笔记都用英文来写。对计算机专业的内容而言，这样做的优点毫无疑问：专业术语更加统一规范，参考的资料更多，在某些情况下语言表达也更为通顺。但是现在我越来越多地写中文博客了，除了工作生活环境对我的影响以外，主要还是感觉到网络上关于计算机专业的中文资料和内容比较匮乏。对于自己的这个博客我有几点想法：

1. “某型软件的安装、配置和使用”这类的文章肯定少不了，毕竟这个博客除分享外还兼具笔记的功能，但还是想尽可能多地写一些专业性更强的、涉及原理的内容；
2. 叙述时要注意避免在无意间省略了对我而言已经习以为常，但对一般读者而言可能并不熟悉的过程细节，避免让读者感到思维跳跃和不知所云；
3. 要注重文字排版和整体配色上的美观。这样不仅能提升阅读效率，也能给人以美的享受。

能读到这里的读者朋友们也挺不容易的，看我嘚吧嘚半天了。感谢你的关注！欢迎就博客里的内容跟我讨论 ~
