我之前有位公司同事離職時，被我們發現他虧空公款，但是我們放他一馬，只要他交還公款，便不再追究。最近，得知這位同事又想回公司上班，我跟老板提起這事，可是，老板仍然招他回來。
這件事，令我聯想起乾隆與和申的關系，雖然乾隆知道和申是貪官，只因乾隆的私心，自己喜歡，便重用和申，任其貪污。實際上，有些老板是不會介意員工的貪污行為，只要員工能討好老板歡心，貪小小錢，小事姐。

Comparison between Skype free and business version
Introduction
I did some research on “Skype for Business” and compared it against “Skype free version”. To summarize, “Skype free version” is great for small group of users. “Skype free version” is free to use (good to support up to 25 users in small organization), unless you want to buy credit to make calls to landlines and mobiles. On the other hands, there are three main benefits to use ”Skype for Business” as compare to “Skype free version”:
- It is better integration with Office 365 (referring to appendix 1 for detail)
- It has security control over your company’s communications (referring to appendix 2 for detail)
- It can be used to hold large meetings (up to 250 people). (referring to appendix 3 for detail)
“Skype for Business” lets clients add up to 250 people to online meetings, provides enterprise-grade security, allows to manage employee accounts, and is integrated into Office apps. Its usage is no additional cost for “Office 365 Business Premium”.
Appendix 1. You Can Use “Skype for Business” with Office Apps
One of the big advantages of Skype for Business is that it integrates well with Office 365. Skype for Business allows you to send Instant Messages or start a voice or video call directly from a Word or PowerPoint document. You can schedule meetings from within Outlook, present documents, share your screen and even grant permission for someone else to control your desktop remotely. Skype for Business is sold with Office 365 plans for small business, such as our Office 365 Business Premium.
Appendix 2. “Skype for Business” Has Added Security Features
Skype for Business is designed for companies, not consumers. An administrator can assign Skype permissions. For example, this version of Skype could decide that only salespeople could use it to make international calls instead of leaving the option wide open to the entire staff. The administrator can also deny access to a person who leaves the company to work somewhere else. This allows the company to maintain control over its confidential documents and communications.
Appendix 3. “Skype for Business” is Better for Large Meetings
If you’ve used the consumer version of Skype for business meetings, you’ve probably noticed that you can’t have more than 25 people on a conference call. That’s fine if you’re running a small meeting. But, try getting 100 people together for a company-wide webinar and it’s a different story. When you use Skype for Business, you can invite up to 250 people to a meeting. This means it’s a lot easier for you to conduct large-scale presentations or big conferences. And your participants don’t have to be on Skype for Business to participate. All they need is an internet connection and a browser.
Appendix 4. More featured on “Skype for Business”
If you have already purchased the Office 365 Business Premium plan, here are the add-on licenses to get more Skype for Business features.
| To add this feature | Here’s what you need to buy |
| Audio Conferencing Buy 1 Audio Conferencing license for each person who is going to schedule or host a dial-in meeting. Attendees do not need licenses. |
Audio Conferencing add-on Once you buy the license, Microsoft will be your audio conferencing provider. |
| Toll-free numbers for dial-in access to your conferences, and the ability to dial out from a conference to add someone by calling any telephone number in the world | Communications Credits |
| Phone System | 1. Switch to a different Office 365 for business plan. If you have Office 365 ProPlus, or Skype for Business Online Plan 2 we recommend upgrading your plan to an Enterprise E5 plan to get cloud voice features. If you upgrade to an Enterprise E1 or E3 plan, you’ll see the option to buy the Phone Systemadd-on. 2. Phone System add-on 3. Calling Plans: buy a Calling Plan from Office 365. Or, use the telephone service from your existing provider. |
| Calling Plans | 1. Switch to a different Office 365 for business plan. 2. Phone System add-on 3. Calling Plan: you can only buy this after you buy the Phone System add-on. |
Diary of IT Man – Bad Boss
Yesterday, I got a big depression due to my general manager (the biggest boss in the factory). I made a minor mistake but was blamed by him several hours. My fault was because not review an internet monthly contract after its expire. However, per the contract term, it would auto-renew after its contract period. The contract cost was cny2600/month for 10M broadband.
My boss treated this matter in serious way, seem over-reacted, and blamed me that I (as an IT manager) had to review all IT contracts timely and accurately. When your boss was in bad mood, you have better not to argue with him, and just say “sorry” and “yeah”. At last, he instructed me to do the following and treated me like a no experience staff: 1) search the up-to-date market price of internet; 2) measure our requirement on the broadband (10M, 20M or 30M); 3) ask China Telecom salesman to come on-site to negotiate about contract cost; 4) write minutes about the meeting with salesman; 5) he need to review the contract before signed.
Maybe my boss targeted me as a next layoff person, while I also prepared myself to leave the company anytime. Anyways, I will still try my best to do my job well. Hope there is no another chance that my boss finds my other fault. God bless.
Finally, this kind of bad boss made me a terrible nightmare, and he might cause me psychological problem. Because of my health, I should try my best to leave his supervisor. Good Luck to myself.

因此夏季安全形式严峻，东莞市领导会赴镇街督导安全生产大排查。
Setup of Ant Miner A3 Machine Mining with sia.tech pool
Step 1. Download sia program from https://sia.tech/get-started
Step 2. Start the Sia-UI program, and wait for “synchronizing” done, which we may wait for one or two days, so you have better run it in a stable computer.
Step 3. Create a wallet, mark down the seek and passphrase, and unlock it.
Click on the Wallet tab on the left. You’ll see two options – “Create a new wallet” or “Load a wallet from a seed”. If this is your first time creating a wallet, you’ll select Create a new wallet. It is also recommended to check the box to Use custom passphrase first, and create a password for your wallet. If you don’t, your wallet password will be the same as your wallet seed, which is not ideal, especially if you plan on hosting.
The wallet will say it’s scanning the blockchain, which may take several minutes. Wait for it to complete, or go grab a snack.
Step 4. Create a wallet address
A receiving address will be automatically generated for you in the top box, and you can give it a name in the bottom box if you want. Click Save to add it to the list of “Prior Addresses”. You can create as many addresses as you want, and they’ll all point to your wallet. Sia makes a new wallet address by default every time you click “Receive Siacoin” in order to help protect your privacy, but you can use any of your previous addresses at any time and they’ll still work.
Step 5. Backup your sia wallet
There is no option to backup the wallet in the sia-ui software! But you can backup the files by yourself!The files location is configured in the config.json file. The config.json is located in “Sia-UI-v1.2.0-win32-x64resourcesapp” folder. Open the file with text editor,you can see the “datadir” item.This item describe the backup files location! in the default the files location is in the C:userusernameAppDataRoamingSia-UI! Please do not go at manually backing up files from the Sia-UI folder as these are not guarenteed to work if placed back in a newer version of Sia-UI, above method is documented and always will work.
All you need to recover your wallet is to write down on a physical paper your seed, which is the same as your wallet password.
Step 6. Register account from antpool.com, and then select siacoin in the top right hand corner.
And then create account, sub-account, and worker as below:
Step 7. Setup in mining machine as below:
Change from original default setting below:
To:
Step 8: Once you’ve started mining, you can check your stats from miner status as below example:
Step 9. My earning monitor screen from antpool as below:

Convert between xls and xlsx by python and compile python
1. To convert xls to xlsx:
$ pip install pyexcel pyexcel-xls pyexcel-xlsxRun Python Script as:
import pyexcel as p
p.save_book_as(file_name='your-file-in.xls',
dest_file_name='your-new-file-out.xlsx')If you do not need a program, you could install one additinal package pyexcel-cli::
$ pip install pyexcel-cli
$ pyexcel transcode your-file-in.xls your-new-file-out.xlsxThe transcoding procedure above uses xlrd and openpyxl.
2. To convert between xlsx and xls vice and versa:
import win32com.client as win32
fname = "full+path+to+xls_file"
excel = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application')
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(fname)
wb.SaveAs(fname+"x", FileFormat = 51) #FileFormat = 51 is for .xlsx extension
wb.Close() #FileFormat = 56 is for .xls extension
excel.Application.Quit()3. Compile via py2exe
3.1. Create your setup script (setup.py)
py2exe extends Distutils with a new “command”. If you’ve installed third party Python modules then there’s a good chance you’ve seen at least one distutils command:
C:Tutorial>python setup.py install
“install” is a Distutils command that installs something (typically a Python module or package). The details Distutils needs to do that installation are contained in setup.py (and sometimes other associated files).
“py2exe” is a new Distutils command that is added when you import py2exe. To use py2exe you need to create a setup.py file to tell Distutils and py2exe what you want to do. Here’s a setup.py whose simplicity is appropriate for our sample program…
3.2. Run your setup script
The next step is to run your setup script. Make sure to give the py2exe command and expect to see lots and lots of output:
C:Tutorial>python setup.py py2exe
3.3. Test your executable
Now that the package has been created it is ready to test:
C:Tutorial>cd dist C:Tutorialdist>hello.exe Hello World
4. Compile via pyinstaller
