Some things to improve next con: take more photos, post more on Twitter, practice fursuit movements before con, mingle with non-fursuiters more, drink more water, and DON’T STAY IN FURSUIT for all of the dance competition.
下次去兽展，希望能: 拍更多的照片、发更多的推、走之前练习兽装动作、和非兽装穿着者互动更多、喝更多的水、还有不要整个舞蹈比赛都穿着兽装。

• 拍照片——大约200张，其中64张能看的。 FE: 150张
  Photos — about 200, 64 of which looks okay. FE: 150
• 发推——两次
  Tweeting – twice
• 练习……根本没有时间啊
  Practising… no time!
• 更多互动——缺乏，一穿了兽装就坐不下来，更不要说什么谈话或画图之类的事情了。
  More interaction — lacking. Once I put on fursuit, it’s impossible to sit down and stay put, let alone anything like chat or doodling!
• 喝水——穿兽装每半小时休息，喝一杯水。所以，这次没有头疼，没有感冒，也没有展会综合征／水土不服之类的事情。
  Drink — break between every half an hour, and drink a glass of water. So no headaches, no flu, and no con crud this year!

I’m still disappointed that at fur cons, people stay up late and sleep in, so there aren’t much stuff happening in the mornings.
对于兽展大家都晚起晚睡这一点，我还是很失望。这样早晨起来就几乎没有什么事情可以做。

This year What The Fur has moved to Delta Centre-ville. The bad is it’s a large, expensive hotel, so there are many other guests staying. Also, the convention floor is underground and completely lacking in natural light, so photography is hard. The good is that the convention floor is spacious, and has a hub-and-spoke arrangement, so it’s easy to find and mingle with people. Also, there are many other guests staying, including families, tourists, and engineering students here for the annual concrete canoe competition (seriously)!
今年What The Fur 移动到了Delta Centre-ville. 不好的地方是这是个大型酒店，价格不菲，其他宾客也很多。另外，整个会议中心在地下二层，完全没有自然光，所以照相难。好处是会议中心面积很大，并且呈放射性排列，所以很容易和大家打成一片。另外，其他宾客也很多，包括家庭、游客、以及来这里参加每年的混凝土划艇比赛的工程系学生们 (真的) !

（How spacious is the convention floor? Every year in January, the very same hotel plays host to CUSEC, the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference. This year, 12 universities in Canada have have sent delegations, each having about a bus full of attendees. And 18 organizations set up tables at the career fair after lunches.
会议中心有多大？每年一月，CUSEC ——加拿大大学软件工程会议——在该酒店举办。今年 12 个大学派了代表团来，每个至少坐满了一车。午饭后的招聘会，有18个组织设展位。

I went to CUSEC this year. It’s actually kind of weird to come to the same convention space for a completely different convention.
我今年也参加了CUSEC. 在同一个会场参加完全不同的展会感觉好奇怪。）

WTFur review coming up whenever.

And I’ve finally got around to say something about the first Furry Convention I’ve been to in almost a year and a half! (Not for lack of trying, though.) My last convention was Condition:Red in 2011, and after that I’ve been to several local anime conventions, and they have very awesome people as well, but it’s just not the same…
自2011年的Condition：Red之后一年半没有去过兽展之后(动漫展虽然强人很多，但是毕竟不一样)按耐不住决定去了多伦多的Furnal Equinox。今天终于有机会写一下回顾了。

Unfortunately I had a cold that week, so I couldn’t be fursuiting on Friday. That said I took the time to take some photos, which are on Flickr if you haven’t seen them! And also this time I finally got to hear one of Nuka-kitty‘s lectures sessions panels on furry psychology in full. Because SCIENCE! And of course the improv night was hilarious, especially with Nuka in fursuit. Almost braved and went in fursuit too, but I decided to make sure not to overexert myself.
不行的是去之前感冒了，所以周五没有机会穿兽装。不过趁这个机会照了些照片，传到了Flickr上，没看的话赶快去看。 （很抱歉，Flickr在大陆不能正常访问。）另外，终于能够从头到尾地听一次Nuka 的兽控心理学讲座了。(国内动漫展好像没有讲座的样子?)科学万岁！还有晚上的即兴表演，笑翻天笑死人不偿命～特别是当Nuka穿兽装上去的时候!

(今年第二次感冒参加展会了，怎么回事啊。）
（Second time to a con with a flu this year, why… just why?)

Woke to an early start on Saturday and fursuited as much as I can. The sponsor pizza party was cool, although the first batch of pizza was a bit stale (later batches are fine) and I can’t decide which table to sit at. Did a little fursuit dance then went to bed.
周六早晨提早起床，尽可能地多穿兽装。升级到赞助者级别彻底发挥作用了:早饭是赞助者休息室的火鸡三明治，午饭是赞助者休息室的火鸡三明治，晚上是赞助者休息室的匹萨派对……不过第一批匹萨有点潮了(后面几批都没问题). 晚上稍微跳了一下舞就睡觉了。

On Sunday I went to watch the dance competition. I could still hardly believe that this is the first time Furnal Equinox hosted a dance competition, and the first time almost all the contestants are participating! (And almost all of them didn’t sleep or eat much…) All 9 of them are full of energy and rhythm, and their performance are very fun to watch, as well as full of surprises! Especially the first place :snapback:, who built their own suit and is just as adorable as an otter can ever be; yet on the dance floor, she is a force to be reckoned with. Kudos to all the participants – the Original Nine Crew!
周日早晨去观看了舞蹈比赛。记忆已经模糊，但忘不了的是参赛的九位兽装穿着者，每个都那么充满了活力和激情。真不能想象这都是他们第一次参加舞蹈比赛 (而且大多都没吃饭没睡觉)，也不能想象这是第一次 FE 举办舞蹈比赛……特别要提一下的是第一名 Snapback, 平常是再可爱不过的小水獭，一到舞池就成为一股不可抗拒的力量。而且ta的兽装是自己做的，这家伙有多厉害?!这里再次对所有参赛者致敬!

The con wasn’t as exciting as I thought, as a whole, and perhaps it’s because the novelty has worn off, or perhaps because I was too worried about school; but nevertheless it was full of highlights!
总体来说这次兽展没有像想象当中的那么刺激，也许是新奇感已经退去，也许是太担心学习；但是仍然有许多精彩的瞬间，值得回忆……

A lot of time was spent at the sponsor lounge eating and mingling. Food at the sponsor lounge is simple, but the turkey sandwich was okay and at least I didn’t go hungry. But I did not eat much and moved a lot, so I lost a kilogram (2-3 pounds) during the convention. It would have been even better to have someone to go together to Tim Hortons for breakfast, but I don’t know any people who sleep and wake early at fur cons…
这次到FE, 很多时间在赞助者休息室吃东西聊天。休息室供应的食品很简单，但是火鸡三明治还凑合，至少没饿着肚子。不过我吃的不多，动得很多，所以整个兽展瘦了一公斤。如果早晨有人能陪我一起去 Tim Hortons 吃早饭就好了，不过我不认识谁在兽展那么早就起床的……

(题外话:2011年去AC的时候每天早晨卡库尔第一个醒来，吃完早饭带回房间一盒子甜甜圈。）
(Off topic: At Anthrocon 2011, I’m always the first to rise, and bring a box of donuts to the room after breakfast.)

There are a couple people I thought I would see but didn’t, like :linkbattykoha: and :linkErisValgen:, and some people I expected to see like :linkAmico: and :linkblondiepup:, some I didn’t expect to see like Zanni (:linktherian . Some people I just get excited to finally see in the fur like :linkflowkitty:. And then there are new faces like Kelsey (karlounichou) (finally I get to see a :iconKalamari: fursuit in meatspace!) and :snapback: of course!
有几个人想见到没有见到，例如 battykoha 和 erisvalgen，但还是见到了Amico 和 blondiepup，以及没有预料到能见到的像是 Zanni. 有些终于能亲眼见到，例如 Flow, 以及新面孔，像是Kelsey和Snapback!

Some things to improve next con: take more photos, post more on Twitter, practice fursuit movements before con, mingle with non-fursuiters more,  drink more water, and DON’T STAY IN FURSUIT for all of the dance competition. (I was dehydrated on Sunday and came back home with a headache! Buying a sport drink at the bus rest stop helped, though.) A final regret is haven’t bought the “Blueper” hand puppet. (Practically 20% off if you figure in shipping!)
下次去兽展，希望能: 拍更多的照片、发更多的推、走之前练习兽装动作、和非兽装穿着者互动更多、喝更多的水、还有不要整个舞蹈比赛都穿着兽装。 (周日走的时候严重脱水, 头痛！ 乘车停下来的时候买了瓶运动饮料好像对此有一些作用。)最后的遗憾是没有决定买下 ”Blueper” 手偶. （加上送货费相当于打八折!)

A shout out to :icondizzywizzy: for running the sponsor’s lounge, :iconskyr3der: for organizing the dancing competition, and :iconolefin: for the con videos, as well as thanks for rest of the staff and attendees! Another to my roommates :linkdarkysabretooth: :linkspikekitty69: :linkGozob:. And finally another round of applause to :iconSnapback:, you’re the most awesome ever!
感谢Wizzy看管赞助者休息室、Ronnie组织舞蹈大赛、Olefin录像、以及Furnal Equinox的所有其他工作人员和参加者！ 还有我的室友们 Darky, Spike 和 Garou! 最后请为 Snapback 热烈鼓掌——你是最棒的!

Oh yes and :linkPazzix:! Long time no see!

After searching for similar occurrences, several attempts to reproduce the problem (under the assumption of a misbehaving app), and detours involving safe mode and recovery mode, I noticed in a forum post about Galaxy Nexus tips on xda-developers mentioned finding and posting LAST_KMSG (the Linux kernel message log from last boot) for trouble shooting. Since I already had Android SDK installed, I pulled the message log using adb. Normal apps shouldn’t trigger reboots, so the kernel log will likely offer more clues as to where the problem is.
搜索相似情况之后，找了多次哪个程序是罪魁祸首之后，数次切换安全模式之后，我注意到 xda-developers 论坛上一条置顶消息中提到哪里可以找到 LAST_KMSG (Linux 内核最后一次启动时的消息日志)。因为我正好已经安装了 Android 软件开发包 ，我用了 adb 从设备上取得了消息日志。

Caution: Saving the log (or full device backup or bug report) in the same directory as adb and then updating Android SDK, may delete your saved log (or backup)! It’s good to backup, but save your backup somewhere else.
注意： 将消息日志(或错误报告，或设备备份)保存在 adb 所在的目录之后更新 Android 软件开发包，可能会删除你保存的内容！ 备份是好事，但是请保存在别的地方。

While at first I was misled by the “no errors detected” message at the end, as well as the stack trace there, soon I understood that the problem has to do with not able to write internal storage leading to file system not able to maintain consistency, causing the reboot:
一开始被最后面的 “没有检测到错误” 消息和呼叫记录搞糊涂了的我，不久就发现实际的问题是设备无法写入内部存储空间，导致文件系统不能保证一致性，最后设备重启：

No errors detected
Boot info:
Last reset was warm software reset (PRM_RSTST=0x2)

(A “kernel panic” is the Linux equivalent of Windows “Stop Error” or “Bluescreen”/“BSoD”, where the operating system kernel has encountered a fault it’s not able to recover from. It’s usually caused by faulty hardware or drivers.
Linux的 “内核错误” 相当于 Windows 的 “蓝屏死机”，都是操作系统内核遇到了无法恢复的错误的情况。一般原因是硬件故障或是驱动程序有问题。 (Panic 是 “抓狂” 的意思。))

Since I can’t replace the internal storage, I sent it back to the carrier (Wind Mobile) today for repairs. It should take up to three weeks for (in-warranty) repair. (Unlike Dell’s out-of-warranty repair, which returned the computer in only one week!) The store rented me a LG Optimus 2X for $10, which is a pretty cool phone actually.
既然不能更换集成的闪存，最后只能今天送修。修理手机 (保修期内) 大概要三个星期。 (不像戴尔的保修期外修理……一个星期就退回来了！) 零售店$10租给我了一个LG Optimus 2X，算是个挺酷的手机呢。

This isn’t the first time I had a problem with failing storage. Back when my Nexus One still had a working power button, the memory card corrupted, leading to some interesting pictures. And my XPS laptop went through two failed hard drives.
这不是第一次遇到存储出问题的事情了。以前我的 Nexus One 还能开机的时候，SD卡出了问题，产生了几张“很有意思”的照片。而我的XPS笔记本电脑上硬盘也换了两次。

Considering the underlying causes of the reboot, the general advice (and my first reflex) of resetting the device would likely only result in temporary relief.
考虑到不断重启的根本原因，一般对这种情况的重置设备的建议 (也是我的第一反应) 可能只会带来一时的缓解，而不会解决真正问题吧。

This still leaves two other questions. Even though I only had the device for 4 months, it can take a long time for apps to respond, especially with Google Search. I always thought it may be because beginning in Android 4+, user-accessible data is stored together with system files and data, but could it have been a sign that the storage is failing? Also, would a file system check help any in this occasion?
最后还有两个疑问。虽然这个手机只用了四个月，应用程序经常要等好长时间才反应，特别是 Google 搜索特别慢。我一直觉得这可能是因为 Android 4+ 将用户可见的数据和系统文件放在一起，但是会不会实际上是闪存问题的前兆呢？另外，文件系统查错会不会对这种情况有任何帮助呢？

Which poses a problem for fursuits, as the fake fur and foam can be badly damaged by the high heat. So, what should I do to clean the fursuit, and is it necessary? What I plan to do now is put the fursuit in a bag and shelf it before I find a way, but that’s only a stopgap measure before I find a treatment.

I’m also worried about my other stuff, like electronics, two shelves of books, plushies, and a self-inflating mattress. Any advice will be grately appreciated.

The house is set to be steamed on Wednesday and we just got the notice today. Which means I have tomorrow to dry every clothing I have, including the ones that aren’t to be dried. It’s also the week for midterms; I have two, and a chemistry lab to prepare for. To top it off, I lost a fursuit handpaw on the bus and has to check the lost and found. So good.

Posed in front of a mirror?
It’s a must! For a fursuiter it’s hard to judge your performances without seeing them from the outside. I didn’t realize I had my head looking downwards all AC until I looked in the mirror. I’ve also very often just go in front of the mirror and enjoy my fursuit’s irrestible cuteness. “Who’s a good puppy? Who’s a good puppy? I’m a good puppy! I’m a good puppy!” I blame this akita. (Since revamped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AEdxV9-Z10)
在镜子前面摆过姿势吗？
那是一定要的啦！作为兽装穿着者不用从外面看而评判自己的表现是一件难事。直到照镜子之前我都没有意识到自己整个AC都在低头。我也经常会到镜子之前什么都不干就是享受我的兽装的无法抗拒的可爱。“谁是只好狗狗啊？谁是只好狗狗啊？我是只好狗狗！我是只好狗狗！”这都要责怪那只秋田犬 (YouTube链接)。(后来重做过了:YouTube链接)

Been shopping/to a supermarket/store in fursuit?
Subway and Macs (convienence store). As for supermarkets, naw. The local mall forbids masks, and I fear some venues would have the same policy. Plus, I’d rather not have somebody filming me and add a creepy sound track saying “he wants to live his animal life so much, he would not take his costume off.”
穿着兽装购物/去过超市/商店吗？
赛百味和Macs (便利店)。其他地方，不敢。附近的购物中心不允许戴面具，我怕其他地方也有这样的规定。并且万一有人录像，配上吓人的解说，“他如此地想作为一只动物活着，从来都不会把这套装束脱下来”就……

Been group suiting?
出过兽装团吗？

Nevah. I’ve been fursuiting with a group on Canada day, but that’s like a mini-parade than actual group suiting.
米有。在加拿大日参加过兽装游行，不过那算不了兽装团。

Ever put on your fursuit for no reason and worn it for an extended period of time?
有没有没理由穿兽装的时候穿了很长一段时间？
… can’t think of any (有时候睡觉会穿？)
… 想不起来有那种情况 (will wear sometimes when sleeping?)

Have you walked around your hometown in fursuit?
With my hometown, Shanghai, 11337 kilometres (7044 miles) away from Ottawa, it’s a little bit difficult… But it will be done, someday.
在出身城镇穿过兽装吗？
上海离渥太华11337千米 (7044英里)，会有难度吧……不过某一天会做到的。

Fursuited in a different state?
Province, you insensitive clod, and no.
在其他州穿过兽装吗？
省，你这不关心人的土坷垃，以及没有。

In a different country?
See below question.
别的国家？
请见下一问。

Fursuited at a con? If so, how many times?
I bought this fursuit on impulse at AC2011; wore all Saturday and Sunday. Also at Condition:Red (2011). Not as much as at AC, but definitely more than my roommate who barely fursuited at all.
兽展穿过兽装吗？穿过几次？
这件兽装是我在AC2011冲动买下来的；整个周六和周日都在穿。还有就是在 Condition:Red (2011)。没有AC那么多，不过绝对比带了兽装都没怎么穿的室友要多。

Eaten in fursuit?
穿兽装吃过东西吗？
I want to resell this fursuit later, so no eating. Plus, this fursuit isn’t that good for eating; the mouth is glued on the sides.
打算以后卖掉这件兽装，所以不可以吃东西。另外这件兽装不适合吃东西; 嘴两边是粘上的。

Drank in fursuit?
穿兽装喝过东西吗？
Yeah, lots of water, but no beverages, because my plastic water pouchs will need cleaning if I put beverages in it. Oh, you mean alchohol? I don’t drink alchohol. If I need my self-restraint turned off, I just put on my fursuit. In a few moments it would be like I have drank alchohol.
喝了很多水，不过没喝过饮料，因为塑料水袋放饮料会发臭。哦你是说喝酒？我不喝酒。如果我需要关闭自己的自制力，穿上兽装，就变得无法无天了XD

Put on someone else’s fursuit?
It is my ambition to wear every fursuit in the world (that fits). To date, I have tried on 7 fursuits that I don’t own: Zets (head only), Prefectionist’s, Windrunner, ~BlueMoon, head swap with Clouwy, Amigo (first time wearing a full fursuit), and a fursuiter who probably would not prefer to be mentioned (his bodysuit is done, but he’s still looking for a good maker to build his head). In addition, I swapped my fursuit for Shekkakat’s fursona cosplay.
穿过别人的兽装吗？
我的野心是试穿世界上的每一件兽装 (仅限能穿得下的)。到目前为止我试穿过7件不是自己的兽装：Zets (仅头)、Prefectionist的、Windrunner, ~BlueMoon, 和Clouwy换头，Amigo(第一次试穿全套装！)以及一位估计不会喜欢名字被提到的兽装穿着者 (他的身子已经做好了，但是还没有想好请谁来做头部)。另外我还用自己的兽装换过Shekkakat的兽设Cosplay。

Ruined the magic in public?
I have walked around in AC with my head off for quite a long time. As for the general public, I took my head off when a group of children at a park demanded it, as mentioned above.
公众场合摘下过头吗？
在AC拿着头走过很长一段时间。至于公众，限以上儿童强烈要求把头拿下来的一次。

Gone to a furmeet in suit?
First in Prefectionist’s, then at Canada Day (the national holiday) my own. One day I’ll attend a furmeet as my fursona.
穿着兽装参加过兽聚吗？
曾穿着Prefectionist的去过，而后在加拿大日 (国庆) 穿了自己的。某一天我要以自己兽设的身份参加兽聚。

Been in a moving car while in suit?
I fursuited on a Greyhound bus once, way back from AC2011. (Some passenger asked “are you one of those people on CSI” -.-)
在运动中的车里穿过兽装吗？
一次在Greyhound (城际巴士公司) 的大巴上穿过，从AC2011回来的时候。 (有乘客问我“你是不是CSI上讲的那些人-.-”)

Been glomped while in suit?
I’ve had lots of hugs. I think I’ve been viciorously hugged once or twice, if that’s what you mean.
穿着兽装被扑抱过吗？
我被抱过许多次。有一两次特别的猛烈，如果你指的是那种情况的话。

Glomped someone while in suit?
I used to pounce people before I even had a fursuit! I did try to pounce someone in suit (make sure to approach the suiter from the -front- if you do this), but I forgot what happened next.
穿着兽装扑抱过别人吗？
以前没有兽装的时候我也扑过人！有兽装之后确实扑抱过别的兽装 (请一定一定从兽装穿着者的前方接近)。

Made a child smile?
Most of them are afraid of me. But the group who demanded me take my head off were ectastic.
把小孩子弄笑过吗？
大部分都怕我。不过强烈要求把偷拿下来的那群完全乐疯了。

Danced?
Can’t. Unless you count the Con:Red dead dog party where I flailed in suit from 23:57 to 00:00.
跳过舞吗?
跳不了。除非你算上在AC和Con:Red不到五分钟的胡乱挥舞……

Been in a fursuit dance competition?
参加过兽装舞蹈竞赛吗？
Wouldn’t last three seconds. I should try learning streetdancing like breaking, or even better, para para. Next year’s Anthrocon is themed “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Perhaps someone should go and do non-street (tango, ballet, etc.) dancing.
撑不了三秒。我应该去学街舞，例如 b-boying，或者 para para 的话更好了。明年 Anthrocon 主题是 “仲夏夜之梦” 。也许谁应该去竞赛跳古典舞蹈 (探戈、芭蕾，等等)。

Done something that attracted a large group of people while in suit?
Never had a group as large as street jugglers. Aformentioned group that demanded my head off was the largest group.
穿兽装做过什么吸引了一大群人的事吗？
以上所说的强烈要求把头拿下来团是聚集的最多的人。从来没有说像是街头杂技艺人那样的流行度。

Experienced a hater?
I had people who watched CSI but they mostly just find me cute, if a bit kinky. However at Condition:Red, there was a child being carried, who enjoyed seeing me. But when I tried to apporach, her mother turned around and said something like “How dare you apporach my daughter like that!” As for real “GTFO FURFAG” haters, no.
经历过仇恨者吗？
不少人看过那集CSI，不过他们大部分都觉得我很可爱，虽然可能也觉得有一点点变态吧。不过在Condition:Red有一个被抱着的小孩子，看见我很高兴。不过当我上前去的时候，抱着她的母亲说 “你怎么敢这样接近我的女儿！” 至于真的“你██的滚开你这兽控变态”仇恨者，还没有。

Longest time in fursuit? (what counts as being in suit is up to you)
穿兽装最长的时间？(什么算是穿着由你决定)
I once went to downtown CBD/around parliament and suited up, where a group of children at a park demanded my head to be taken off. I’ve only taken my head off twice that trip.
一次一个人去议会附近转悠，公园里的小孩子集体要求把头摘下来。那次出去只把头摘下来过两次。
About three hours. I’m a new fursuiter, and still learning how to manage between dehydration and having to empty the bladder. Usually I have to do that every hour.
一共大约三小时。我对兽装还是新上手，还在学习怎么保持在脱水和经常清空膀胱之间的平衡。一般一小时就要上一次厕所。

And finally…
最后……
Most memorable moment in fursuit?
穿兽装最值得纪念的时刻？
Condition:Red fursuit games, specifically the musical chairs. I won! But I’ve never exerted myself so much since I graduated from high school. You can read all about it in my con report! The section on the fursuit games is about as long as the rest of the article.
Condition:Red 兽装游戏，特别是抢椅子。我赢了！不过自高中毕业以后我从来没有这么累过。你可以在我的兽展报告里面读到详细描述。兽装游戏的那段几乎是整个文章的一半。

Writing this meme is fun! Translating it, isn’t fun at all. :< 写这篇问卷好开心！翻译这篇问卷好无聊。 :<

P.S. Rover Mutt fursuit by Made Fur You (worn by Syber at AC2011) is up for auction, very cheap! Only one day left!

Although imagettftext() documentation indicates it only accepts UTF-8 encoding, but if –enable-gd-jis-conv is specified when compiling PHP, then non-ASCII characters (like Chinese, accented characters, Greek and arrows) will be (mis-)treated as EUC-JP encoding (referred to as “JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support” in phpinfo) leading to mojibake (this usually shows up as hollow rectangles, as most fonts for western text lacks glyphs for kanji or kana).

网上大部分对此的解决方法是重新编译PHP，但是这只有自己架设服务器的时候才有用。对于付费空间 (特别是每个月不到1美元的付费空间) 就没辙了。不过imagettftext()也接受另外一种字符表示方法，类似HTML的字符参考。说“类似”是因为GD只接受数字参考，所以内部函数 (如 mb_convert_encoding) 转出来的没用。 以下的函数可以将UTF-8转换成字符参考:

A popular response online is to recompile PHP, but that only works if you’re running your own server. For paid hosting (especially paid hosting that costs less than a dollar a month) this method is kinda stumped. But imagettftext() also accepts another way for representing characters, similar to HTML’s character references. “Similar” because it only accepts numeric references, so named references converted by internal functions (like mb_convert_encoding) is of no use. The function below converts UTF-8 into character references:

//created by Kakurady
//no rights reserved
//no warranties explicit or implicit either
function to_entities($string){
    $len = strlen($string);
    $buf = "";
    for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++){
        if (ord($string[$i]) <= 127){
            $buf .= $string[$i];
        } else if (ord ($string[$i]) <192){
            //unexpected 2nd, 3rd or 4th byte
            $buf .= "&#xfffd";
        } else if (ord ($string[$i]) <224){
            //first byte of 2-byte seq
            $buf .= sprintf("&#%d;",
                ((ord($string[$i + 0]) & 31) << 6) +
                (ord($string[$i + 1]) & 63)
            );
            $i += 1;
        } else if (ord ($string[$i]) <240){
            //first byte of 3-byte seq
            $buf .= sprintf("&#%d;",
                ((ord($string[$i + 0]) & 15) << 12) +
                ((ord($string[$i + 1]) & 63) << 6) +
                (ord($string[$i + 2]) & 63)
            );
            $i += 2;
        } else {
            //first byte of 4-byte seq
            $buf .= sprintf("&#%d;",
                ((ord($string[$i + 0]) & 7) << 18) +
                ((ord($string[$i + 1]) & 63) << 12) +
                ((ord($string[$i + 2]) & 63) << 6) +
                (ord($string[$i + 3]) & 63)
            );
            $i += 3;
        }
    }
    return $buf;
}

imagettftext($im, 11, 0, 5, 11, $black, $font,  to_entities($text));

应该复习，却鼓捣这东西……

So for some slackitude reasons, I had 6 assignments piled up, all due on the week of Feburary 1st or the Monday immediately after. (Actually 7, as I forgot to ask for one professor’s web site.) Since there is an anime con in the weekend, my plan was to complete everything during the weekdays, for there won’t be any time to do them during the weekend, and undone homework would be a really bad thing to have at a con.

During the week, I handed in a web client and suh-vuh, a demo of a ball bouncing in a dish, a token ring simulator (kinda) and an artificial stupidity. 2 Java classes, one C++ project, one C file, and the odd one Python spaghetti (glad that semicolon does nothing in Python), one missed class (just… one… more… compile…), and everything’s finally done… on Saturday lunchtime. The panels I wanted to go are all finished. Oh well, better slow than missed bugs, I suppose.

大概是因为懒惰的关系吧，从二月一日到二月八日的一个星期多一天，竟然堆了7门作业要交 (虽然有一门我不知道)。打算周末去动漫展，所以决定在周末前把作业全部做完——没做完的作业可不是一件适合带到动漫展的东西。

一周中交上了网络客户端和糊误器各一件，在盘子里弹跳的球一个，令牌网模拟器一块，还有人工无能一只。2个Java类、一个C++工程、一个C文件、还有明显不同的Python乌东面一份 (还好多写一个分号也没问题)，终于在……周六中午完成了。想去的动漫展讲座，全部讲完了。哎，总比漏了程序错误强吧。

今年是第二次参加GAnime，大概是因为懒惰的关系吧，没有提前注册，而是在现场缴的入场费。因为没有像去年一样和兽友在一起，并且照相机也不见了，所以感觉比较没劲。

展览会场作过了装修，今年感觉十分的现代 (后现代? 后后现代?)，但是不知道为什么，面向中庭的窗全被用儿童画盖上了。实话说，不和谐。当然，从窗看下去，展会的忙碌和外面的购物中心的空荡，确实差别很大。不过我还是觉得，能够看到参展者吃饭 (特别是动漫展的时候，coser 在吃饭) 会觉得这地方很亲近。

游戏室周日很早就撤了，《王国之心II》存档记录时间:6 小时。也许不应该呆在游戏室，而是去听听讲座什么的。去年的动漫藏书室，今年是放映室，唯一的一个英语放映室。

结论：不管是动漫展还是兽展，一个人去就没有意思。

This is the second time attending GAnime, so for some slackitude reasons, I didn’t register beforehand, and paid admission on the spot instead. Because didn’t had furries together like last time, and my camera also disappeared, it was relatively less interesting.

The location has been renovated, it feels very modern this year (post-modern? post-post-modern?); but for some reason the windows to the atrium have been covered with drawings by children. Frankly, not harmonious. Of course, between the busy conference center up here and the empty shopping center down there, it is a big contrast. But I still feel it makes the place friendlier if you can see other attendees (especially in the case of anime con, cosplayers) eating.

The games room were cleaned out very early on Sunday, save record for Kingdom Hearts II indicates playtime of 6 hours. Maybe I should have gone to panels instead. Where was manga library last year, was a screening room this year, the only English one.

Conclusion: No matter if it’s an anime con or a furry con, going alone is not very interesting.

So when I came out from the first period, still sleepy, I thought to myself, even if I can’t do my best all the time, I’ll at least do it for today. Even if I think I can’t, it helps to try, right? Just a little experiment. And I had a busy morning, took a nap, wrote some mail, etc.

While I was preparing to leave, I thought since the next class is of a course I’m retaking, and I don’t need to listen, why not take the laptop there?

Well, turns out if I have a computer, in addition to showing the course notes, I can also keep myself distracted with lots of new happenings and tangentially related definitions to the lecture. Lack of power outlet doesn’t hinder me at all. I can’t even write this blog post with the urge to check something else.

In the end, my perfect day experiment was not a success.

Also played my first tabletop role-playing game session last week, and of course my character got killed. Still pretty awesome.
