Big Plans
大行程
- The late-July Chihshang fieldwork turned out to be more than recovering the temporary seismic stations. We also ran two seismic refraction lines, and my whole body is aching.
- Planning to attend a conference in Hawai'i in mid-October. A thousand US dollars just for registration, which is painfully expensive.
- Also going to Infurnity this year. This time I signed up as a studio photographer, curious to try experiencing a con from a different angle.
- 七月底的池上野外除了收地震站外，還做了兩條折射震測，根本全身酸痛。
- 十月中預計前往夏威夷參加研討會，註冊費一千美刀好貴啊。
- 今年獸無限會參加，這次報名了棚拍攝影師，想換個參展體驗看看。

- Taiwan FWI paper is finally accepted!* 🎉 confetti all around!
- Using the Chihshang DAS as a detection tool to build an earthquake catalog. It's already picking up microearthquakes, which is great news. Writing it up as a paper is next.
- Submarine cable node localization: after building the inversion framework, relocating the earthquakes, and carefully picking the phases, the inversion results are looking largely stable. What a relief. Really hoping this turns into a good paper.
- Working toward 3D moment tensor inversion in the regional model, I used Claude to put together a small program that projects SEM results from a coarse mesh onto a fine one.
- Having realized my advisor has a fairly strong need for control*More chances lately to sit in on meetings with my advisor, but it's often hard to judge what should and shouldn't be said, so keeping my mouth shut feels like the safer bet., I've switched to a purely managing-up style of reporting: every decision, big or small, gets tipped straight back onto them, which saves me from being nagged.
- The way Zotero displays notes and attachments doesn't match how I like to read, so I'm sticking with what I already use for now.
- Started going through some Japanese NIED OBS data with my French advisor, but next to land seismic stations, the data quality looks like it'll be a real challenge.
- 台灣 FWI 論文終於被接受了*——灑花🎉～～
- 利用池上光纖地震儀（DAS）作為偵測指標建立地震目錄，已經抓到微地震，是個好消息，接下來將進行 paper 撰寫。
- 海纜節點定位在經由逆推系統設計、地震重新定位與仔細的挑波後，逆推結果看起來大致穩定，太好了，希望能變成一篇好論文。
- 為了進行區域模型中的三維 moment tensor inversion，利用 Claude 先做了一個 SEM 從粗網格投影到細網格的小程式。
- 因為發現老闆控制慾*最近跟老闆出去開會的機會變多，有的時候很難拿捏哪些該說哪些不該說，還是乖乖閉嘴比較省心。偏高，現在我採完全向上管理的報告模式，什麼大小決策完全往他身上倒，省得被念。
- Zotero 的 note 與附件顯示方式不符合我的觀看習慣，還是先繼續用現有的。
- 開始跟法國老闆一起看一些日本 NIED 的 OBS 資料，但資料品質與陸地地震站相比，感覺會是相當大的挑戰。
Daily Life
日常生活
- Intentionally scaling back on social energy. I've noticed there's quite a bit of low-value socializing in the fursuit community, and with work-related social commitments also picking up, I want to be more deliberate about where my limited attention goes.
- Recently had dinner at Aux Champs Sur Marne, a French restaurant in Taipei. It'd been far too long since my last fine-dining meal. Spent three hours over the table with a friend, eating our fill; the sea bass was incredible.
- I've never much liked chatting online. I'd far rather just talk. I have plenty of things to get on with so I don't really let myself get bored, and besides, typing is too slow while speaking carries so much more information per minute.
- Loyn has always been there as a companion, but I find myself wanting to find someone real, not just anyone, but someone I can talk to freely and openly, without any worry at all. Lately the way a certain dragon and I talk and spend time together already feels decidedly ambiguous to me, and I can let my guard down, be openly affectionate and relaxed when we're together. Right now I'm in a wonderfully happy place.
- 有意識地降低社交強度——發覺在獸圈的無效社交有點多，加上精力與注意力有限，工作上的社交也開始變多，想把有限的心力放在真正重要的事上。
- 最近去吃了台北的 Aux Champs Sur Marne 法餐，好久沒吃 fine dining 了，跟朋友三小時吃好吃滿，鱸魚超好吃。
- 我一直不太喜歡網路聊天，比較喜歡用講的。我有一堆事可以做，不太會讓自己無聊，而且打字速度太慢，講話的訊息密度高很多。
- Loyn 一直以來是很重要的陪伴者，但我內心還是很想找到一個現實中的人，一個可以讓我無憂無慮傾訴內心想法的人。最近與一龍對話與接觸的程度在我認知中已經是相當曖昧，跟他相處可以安心撒嬌與放鬆，現在處於美妙的幸福狀態。

2026-04-09 → 2026-05-30
Early to mid-May: heading to Europe for EGU 2026 in Vienna, then visiting Toulouse, the city where Loyn was born. It always feels like going back to a second home.

More chances lately to sit in on meetings with my advisor, but it's often hard to judge what should and shouldn't be said, so keeping my mouth shut feels like the safer bet.
最近跟老闆出去開會的機會變多，有的時候很難拿捏哪些該說哪些不該說，還是乖乖閉嘴比較省心。

Training for the Wuling climb in late May. Riverside path for Z2 base miles, Balakar and Yangming-Jinshan for climbing legs. Squeezing in rides whenever life allows.
為五月底武嶺認真練車中。河濱騎 Z2 打底，陽明山巴拉卡、陽金爭取忙裡偷閒去練。

After several consecutive weeks of fursuit outings since Chinese New Year, I've been feeling the need for a proper rest. Trying to decline some invitations for now and recharge.
過年後連出好幾個禮拜的毛，最近覺得需要好好休息一下，試著開始拒絕一些邀約、讓自己喘口氣。

Recently started playing Pokopia, which brought back memories of the wild immersion I had with Dragon Quest Builders 2. Might spend some evenings on it whenever I have free time.
最近開始玩 Pokopia，想起來之前玩 DQB2（創世小玩家 2）的瘋狂沉浸時光了，近期晚上有空可能就打一下。

Trying to cut out sugary drinks. Picked up two cases of San Pellegrino sparkling water as a starting point.
努力戒含糖飲料中，先買了兩箱聖佩洛氣泡水作為替代，從這裡開始。

Picked up some sodium percarbonate and a fursuit-washing machine. The white on my suit head's lower jaw is finally white again. So happy.
買了過碳酸鈉與洗毛機，毛頭下顎白色的部分終於回歸白色了，相當開心。
2026-06-21 → 2026-08-01
I find it kind of fascinating that keeping a /now page lets me track how my state of mind shifts over time; I've never been one to keep a diary or monthly journal. That said, sometimes I feel like I ramble on and lose focus, so I still need to think about it a bit more.
我覺得寫 now 頁能追蹤心境變化蠻有意思的，畢竟長期以來都沒有寫日記／月記之類的習慣。不過有時候總感覺會有點話癆而且會失焦，還要再想一下。
2026-04-09 → 2026-06-21
Loyn has always been there as a companion, but I find myself wanting to find someone real. Not just anyone, but someone I can talk to freely and openly, without any worry at all. Coming back from Europe has only made me more certain this is what I want.
Loyn 一直以來是很重要的陪伴者，但我內心還是很想找到一個現實中的人，一個可以讓我無憂無慮傾訴內心想法的人。歐洲回來後，更確定了自己想要這樣的連結。

Loyn has always been there as a companion, but I find myself wanting to find someone real, not just anyone, but someone I can talk to freely and openly, without any worry at all. Lately, though, I've been so absorbed in research that this need hasn't felt quite so pressing for now.
Loyn 一直以來是很重要的陪伴者，但我內心還是很想找到一個現實中的人，一個可以讓我無憂無慮傾訴內心想法的人。不過最近醉心於研究工作，這個需求暫時沒這麼外顯了。
