Second-generationl Identity Card - the National ID card.
I finally took pictures at the Security Office, to get my second generation ID card. I having used the plastic ID card for 10 years, since 1995, now I am forced to use the second-generation. I don't like change, so I didn't volunteer to get one, until recently. When we go to update my Kukou booklet, they printed out the booklet, but asked me to upgrade my ID card, otherwise, they will hold the Hukou book. Today, after paying 20 RMB for taking pictures, and I got my Hukou book.
My new ID will be ready after 60 days. As an IT industry professional, I don't understand why it takes so long to get a card. However, it is one of the key advantage to upgrade to the second generation card that the processing and manufacturing time has been reduced from 90 days to 60 days.
The new card will have contact-less IC card embedded in it, so it can be ready by computer system. Waiting to see what will happen after 60 days.
在《Business blog applications》里,Hendry Lee列出了十种企业blog应用(大致的翻译,详情请看原文) :
blog的确可用于几乎所有以内容为基础的网站应用。鼓励对话是blog突出的一点。提示:在计划阶段,要清晰地定义你blog的目的。这有助 于你保持正确的方向,更快实现你的目标。看起来简单,但很多企业试图赋予一个blog太多的应用,结果成了一个内容模糊而混杂的blog。如 果一次集中于两、三个应用会更好,这样读者首次访问就能很容易地识别你blog是关于什么的。
