Hello, I am Simon and currently living in Hangzhou.
In my current job, I am a BI and Strategy Analyst, and my core function is to provide assistance to business decision-making through data-related tools and research.
This xlog blog is a synchronization of the content from my independent blog, 見時筆記, which started in early 2023. If you have read my first blog post here, "Rediscovering the Past," you will probably know about my dedication to blogging. Since discovering the xlog created by DIYgod, I have decided to also synchronize my own articles here.
The original intention of establishing this blog is different from before: firstly, it is to summarize and express my current thoughts, helping me form a systematic way of thinking. Secondly, it is to communicate with my future self in a more formal manner, making it easier for my future self to review and see the changes in my thoughts.
In addition, I also want to write about the fields I am interested in here. I warmly welcome you to chat with me about these:
💻 Although I enjoy programming and design, I only have a basic understanding in various aspects due to my short-lived enthusiasm.
🎮 Like most people my age, I also enjoy playing games, from single-player games in my childhood to online games and competitive games. My favorite games are survival and management sandbox games.
👾 Perhaps influenced by games, I also have a great interest in pixel art and have tried creating some simple pixel-style images myself.
🧙 I have a 3D printer, the Creality Ender 3V2. I believe it is a cost-effective entry-level 3D printer, and if you have the energy, you can also tinker with it. I often use it to print small parts needed at home and for other prototype purposes.
🔌 When I was studying for my undergraduate degree in Canada, I became fascinated with IoT and development boards, with the ESP8266 being the most popular at the time. I have also DIYed some projects, such as being able to see the temperature and humidity in my room in China and control my desk lamp.
🐠 Due to early cultivation, I have always loved keeping fish (and other interesting animals). I even created a special blog called 51 Tropical Fish, which covers species introductions, equipment selection and DIY, as well as summaries and sharing of aquarium knowledge. However, I stopped updating it in 2018 because the content was directly copied and used as pseudo-original content by various platforms such as WeChat public accounts and Sohu accounts.
🌳 Since the end of 2021, I have become obsessed with planting potted plants, especially miniaturized micro potted plants, and have embarked on a feverish journey of buying green plants.
Finally, the website you are currently viewing is created based on the concept of Jamstack, and I have open-sourced it on GitHub: 🥤Fizzy-Jam. If you are interested, you can also build one at zero cost. I welcome any discussions and exchanges.
My Productivity Tools#
I have shared some of the tools I am currently using in My Productivity Tools. I also welcome recommendations for any productivity tools you find useful.
