Move to San Diego

작년 9월 Redmond, WA에서 San Diego, CA로 옮겼습니다. 얼마 되지 않은 미국생활에서 가장 큰 변화입니다. 이 블로그의 이름을 바꾸어야 하겠네요. 블로그에 글을 올리지 않은 사이에 다른 곳에 글을 쓰고 있었습니다. 그 곳의 글들도 바삐 업데이트 되지는 않았지만요. 앞으로 왔다 갔다 하면서 글을 올리렵니다.

It's been 6 months since I moved to San Diego. I moved here because of getting new job here. Just after moving here, stock prices fall down. Everybody became talking economic crisis. Anyhow I have been posting a bit on my another blog. From now, I'll hang around here and there, from time to time.

Generate MAP and COD files from Windows CE build

The MAP and COD files have essential debugging information. COD file contains disassembler and mnemonic codes. After calculating offset address using MAP and COD file, you're able to trace exact line of code which may cause a data abort.

It needs to make sure that every release generates those files and keep them for later use. The following build environment variables should be set to generate MAP and COD files during build.
set WINCECOD=1
set WINCEMAP=1
Instead of setting build environment variables , the 'sources' file may include the following in it.
WINCECOD=1
WINCEMAP=1
When using Visual Studio, you can set the options on the property pages of application project.

Hana - a small sushi restaurant at Broadway

A few weeks ago we looked around the Broadway avenue in Seattle. For my daughter who is a sushi kid, we choose the small sushi restaurant, Hana for launch. I heard that we can have sushi there at the reasonable quality and cheap price.

One of the Japanese staffs told to my daughter in Korean. "안녕하세요(How are you?)", "예쁘네요(You look pretty.)". It made her happy. We had fun time and excellent sushi.

* You can get a cheap and reasonable quality lunch with your friends or family. With friendly staffs feel nice atmosphere.

'The reason I quit Samsung that I love (내가 사랑하는 삼성을 떠나는 이유)'

It's the title of letter that a young Samsung man left on the group's online bulletin when he quit Samsung. The Korea Times mentioned it very briefly in an article, 'Sandwiched Korea, and Samsung'. (You can read the full text of letter here written in Korean.)

This morning, while reading stacked posts in my reader I found an interesting one. The author thinks that the letter was leaked by chance. So he titled the post 'Systematic Samsung(관리의 삼성) is becoming a thing of the past.

Was it leaked By Chance? No way.

As far as I know Samsung isn't the sort of the company that looks on with folded arms while an internal document is printed in the newspaper, even though it's trivial.

'A Frog in a Pot' is a good fable of restructuring. Now it's the correct timing for restructuring. Yes, I agree it's time to "change everything except for one's spouse and children" again. But a leaked letter from a young Samsung man? It's funny.

a member that points itself in a structre - C

Q. Which warning message could you encounter when compile time?

1: typedef struct tagNODE
2: {
3: int data; // we assume that node contains data as type of integer
4: struct NODE *next;
5: } NODE;




A. line4: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

English, English, English, it frustated me!

  1. When getting a speed ticket, I couldn't say a word to dispute it.
  2. When disputing the unauthorized transactions on the wire, the officer asked me to speak through an interpreter.
I have breakdown.

(한국에서는 영어 미팅에서 하고 싶은 말 다 하고 업무하는데도 지장이 없다고 생각했는데 여기와서 두 달 만에 '영어 울렁증'에 걸렸습니다. 아예 내 말을 못 알아 듣겠다고 무시하는 상황을 몇 번 당하니 어디가도 입 열기가 두려워지네요. 미국에 있는 한국회사 다니면서 하루 종일 한국말만 써대니 영어는 언제 늘을련지. 그러나 좌절할 순 없당. 화이팅, 화이팅.

PS. WorkingUS.com에서 오늘 읽은 '영어와 자신감'이란 글입니다. )

Get my debit card information stolen!

Today morning I found that there were strange transactions in my account. I never made them! Someone spend $391.89 with my debit card at the Home Depot. I even never went there at the day. The thief filled up the car and bought groceries with my card!

I always have my debit card with me. I haven't lent it to anyone. I disputed those transactions to the bank and asked to block my card.

The officer in the bank said that it is sometimes happened! To my surprise I heard that some of my coworkers got same experiences. I haven't got my cards information stolen for 15 years in Korea. Never. I was surprised and disappointed the security is so weak.

Please be careful and check your transactions at least once a day.

추가. 6/7, 이틀 동안 연락이 없어서 오늘 확인 전화를 돌렸습니다. 지점에서 해주는 것은 없고 모두 커스터머 서비스 전홥니다. 세 번을 전화를 돌려서 (세 번이나 본인 확인을 위한 절차를 밟았습니다. ㅡ.ㅡ) 관련 부서와 통화 되었습니다만 이 아줌마 무쟈 빨리 얘기하고 내가 얘기한것도 못 알아듣겠다고 하는군요. 결국 한국 통역 연결 후 3자 통화. 경찰에 신고는 했느냐. 너 정말 거기 안 간 거 맞냐. 카드 누구한테 빌려준적 없냐. 결론은, 48시간 내에 서류를 보내줄 테니 기입해서 다시 보내라. 남의 나라 살아 서러운게 이런 거 군요.
