输出：动机与尝试

很早就知道“输出带动输入”这个观点，最近又听到了一句蛮有感触的话叫做“输出决定了你的价值”。这句话想来还是有一定道理的，因为只有你说出来，别人才能知道你能够为他们带来什么。

刚好最近也在参与一个与“坚持”有关的社群，所以接下来争取能够分配一些时间写点文字出来，把各种有的、没的的思想落成文字。

曾经在 MOOC 学得最high的那段时候，想过把完成的每一门课写出一篇文章总结。然而大概也就写了不到一篇半篇的样子就没有继续下去了，归根结底，原因是没有足够的内驱力或者外部的动机。

当时自己学习学得很high，觉得只要把知识理解消化了就好，并没有特别强的意愿作为知识的搬运工，把学习到的知识转述传递给别人。学过很多有意思的课程都是英文的，确实也有不少受众希望能够把课程翻译成中文，给大家一些中文的讲解和分享。例如曾经学过一门特别好的课程是来自约翰·霍普金斯大学(Johns Hopkins University)的“心理救援干预”(Psychological First Aid)，刚好那段时间国内有一个地震还是什么的灾难背景，其实在很多方面都是有需求的。然而感觉做“知识的搬运工”这件事情对我个人的价值是有限的。

前段时间果壳网推出了“分答”这样一个一问一答的在线语音问答的平台，对于提问者的问题，答主可以用60秒的时间来进行语音回复。作为分答平台的早期使用者，我还是很认真对待各种提问的。最开始的时候，一个问题我会准备一个文字的回答稿，然后照着去快速读完——保证信息量的充足以及逻辑的完整与准确。但是回答了几个问题后发现，对于这种完善准备的问题回答，几乎很难在60秒内把所有的点都说到，即使能够把逻辑梳理清晰，也只能举1到2个例子，很难分享更多的例子来支持这个回复。所以那会儿曾经想过把对于每一个问题的回答写一篇帖子写出来。

嗯，好不容易本来要着手开始做了，结果分答的平台就封闭维护了，之前的个人回答页面都无法访问。期待分答快点回归，争取把这件事情捡起来开始做。在这段时间内呢，也争取每周看看有什么话题或想法可以分享，争取把它落实到文字上。

估计未来写出来多半可能是流水账，还让各位看官见笑了。

Want to Feed an Webpage which doesn’t have RSS? Monitor it!

As part of my work, I need to check whether there comes a new policy or notifications from Agriculture Dept.

After having kept checking the page daily for 30+ days, I just came up with an idea — try to Feed it?

 

Firstly, I tried to find sth. that can make a Static-Website into an RSS-Feed.

But the page I need to tracking contains Chinese Characters, almost all the tools not works well.

Then, I came up with another idea — Instead of Feed it, maybe there’s a way to monitor its changes?

 

So I searched and found the following site:

# http://www.changedetection.com/faq.html

And a Software:

http://www.urlywarning.net/free_download.htm

 

I’ve tried and they both works well!

If you are also looking for sth relating, hope this post helps. 🙂
