Diary

The provincial exam results are out, and I ranked 16th—utterly ridiculous. It feels like the era of Kong Yiji has returned. Due to the poor employment environment, a large number of young people are flocking to civil service exams, creating a vicious cycle. Today is my mother’s birthday. At noon, I bought her two small cakes. In the evening, I took my mother for a walk around the neighborhood. She still seems a bit confused about directions and roads—perhaps she needs to walk the route a few more times. My parents and I don’t have deep conversations; we rarely talk about anything beyond daily life. ...

A person lying down or at rest finds it difficult to maintain a state of continuous forward motion. 00:09 Getting ready for bed Spent most of today watching educational videos and discovered a highly capable teacher with solid values: The Right Path in Public Exams is Full of Vicissitudes.

I said my diary is very similar to the “Progress Reports” written by Charlie, but writing it doesn’t necessarily make one improve. It’s more about observing one’s own life cycle and seeing which stage one is currently in. 17:39 Finished reading Flowers for Algernon Yesterday, I read about two-thirds of the book and wrote a letter to Huanhuan: Seeing True Love Is a Difficult Thing. But after finishing the book, I had more thoughts. I pondered the differences between the same person named Charlie at an IQ of 185 versus 68.

After a round of debugging, I realized the disable flag in the configuration file was set to true. The local hugo.yaml had already been changed to false, but I still wasted two hours. 1 2 3 4 sitemap: changefreq: always disable: false priority: 0.8 11:49 After Eating Liangfen pre-commit always makes me wait forever during submissions, and the node_modules directory also slows down Obsidian’s startup.

09:56 Completed Not-By-AI and NonBot Declaration Citations Started tinkering with code again—sometimes it’s hard to resist the temptation. Especially when I see someone else’s great implementation or when a novel idea suddenly pops into my head. 10:14 Ported the Chat Bubble Shortcode Inspired by Some Hugo Shortcodes | Naive Koala, the effect is as follows: Jeapo   2025-04-11 09:20 Little Huanhuan is hungry 2025-04-11 09:37   Huan The noodles Sister Sha brought, hahaha 2025-04-11 09:37   Huan So fragrant From now on, meaningful conversations can be preserved in this format, like the one I had with Manman before: Is Our Earth Real? ...
