今天

早餐稍貴，但是吃得飽，因為起得晚，中餐就沒吃，晚餐吃了兩個麵包跟一個茶葉蛋。

早上 10 點多才起來，晚上應該可以 01:20 睡覺。

時間利用不錯，早上有利用時間聽英文。

在家練了一下啞鈴，早上聽了一點英文雜誌，沒唸日文。

沒唸 CS、Technique、課外書。

特別

今天去外交部領事事務局補交照片，然後去西門町晃了一下。喝到免費的飲料，還滿好喝的，可是我忘記它的名字了，沒辦法幫它打廣告 XD。

幸福

今天去社區大學聽課順利，老師有實力也很幽默(比較不尊敬的說法就是臉皮很厚、嘴巴很毒，可是又都很有道理，XD)。跟不同年齡層的人在一起真的很有趣，因為大家生活經驗都不同，各有不同的故事，常常會爆出一大堆的笑話。

對明天的期望

運動、唸書。

Setting MySQL to Use UTF-8 on MAMP (MySQL 5.5.9, or 5+)

I wanted to setup MySQL to use utf-8 on the MAMP installation on my Mac. I tried the instructions from this article: http://cameronyule.com/2008/07/configuring-mysql-to-use-utf-8/ However, I kept getting error messages that are similar to this one [ERROR] /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld: unknown variable 'default-collation=utf8_general_ci' I did some search and realized that several variables are deprecated.

Use NVM to handle Angular-Node.js incompatibility (e.g., Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export')

Overview If you are a fullstack developer, the chances are that you will be creating multiple frontend or Node.js projects along the way. When you are creating new projects using the newest version of the cli (command-line interface) of a particular framework, you might be asked to install the most updated version of Node.js in order to utilize the newest feature. This might involve upgrading your Node.js version, which might not be compatible with other existing projects (e.g., using Angular) you have created before. A potential solution is to use nvm (Node Version Manager) to install multiple versions of Node.js and use a particular version of the Node.js to install the proper version of the cli (e.g., Angular-CLI) that can be used to manage a particular project. Here I will use a problem I run into to explain how to solve it. Problem There is a compatibility issue between Node.js and angular.js. For instance, I run into an error when I was using an incompatible version of Node.js
