Hobbies

I consider myself to be a person with a relatively wide range of hobbies. However, some of my hobbies are indeed somewhat niche.

My hobbies include (but are not limited to):

  • Computer Programming: I use Python/R, HTML/JS, C#, and more. I have published a book for using LaTeX (if it counts as a programming language).

    The opensource repo for my published LaTeX book Simrofy: A static HTML website template

  • Go (Weiqi): I was certificated amateur 1 Dan on Go.

    The first Go joseki I learned

  • Magic Cube: I am 3x3 cuber with a single best of 13.81 seconds, but it is not recorded by a camera. Here is a video for the fast solve that I have ever recorded (14.51 sec).

  • Video Editing & Tone Tuning (Virtual Singer): I am a video editer and also a FFmpeg user. I am also tone tuner of the virtual singer software UTAU and also Synthesizer V.

    Below is a representative sample of my tone tuning work, singing One Night in Beijing (北京一夜). The virtual singer voice library is distrubted by the famous Chinese voice actor Ge Ping (葛平).

  • Photography: I like landscape photography, having used Nikon P7100, D5200 and D780. See my photos in this chapter.

  • Music Listening: I mostly listen to Chinese songs, but there are also some English and Japanese ones. Check out the singers I often listen to or the songs I like.

  • Games: I am an old-style RTS and traditional RPG game player. Read this chapter for my story with Age of Empires 2 and more games.
