About This Blog

Nearly a year and a half has gone by since my last post. Things have recently settled down, and I plan to keep the blog updated on a regular basis.

Future posts will focus on the following areas:

• Backend development: how microservices, middleware, distributed systems, big data, and so on work, and how they are used in production
• Fundamentals: operating systems, networking, programming languages, etc.
• Emerging technology: learning notes on cloud computing, blockchain, artificial intelligence, etc.
• Other: sharing personal open-source projects, internet technology architecture, productivity tools, etc.
• Essays: retrospectives, reflections, and rants

The blog is built on the open-source Typecho framework. I recently did some custom development on top of the default theme; the source code is on GitHub. The main updates:

• Style improvements: customized fonts, layout, components, and other styles
• An auto-generated table of contents on the right side of each post, plus code block highlighting
• A new essays section, separate from the home page
• Unified image hosting built on COS
• A Creative Commons license
• Site traffic analytics: integrated Baidu Tongji
