Đi Quảng Ngãi – Sài Gòn bằng xe máy

Tết rồi mình và bạn gái làm một chuyến từ Quảng Ngãi vào Sài Gòn bằng xe máy. Xuất phát tại Quãng Ngãi lúc 10h sáng, mình đi một mạch đến Nha Trang vào lúc 8h tối. Ơ lại Nha Trang chơi, 10h sáng hôm sau xuất phát đi SG, chạy đến 8h tối thì tới Thủ Đức.

Trong quá trình đi minh ít khi nào dừng lại nghỉ, chủ yếu đi vệ sinh hoặc khát nước thì dừng lại. Cảm giác đi lên đèo thích lắm :D . Rất tiếc là lúc đó mình chưa có máy quay phim chứ không giờ có được thước phim ” Hành trình Quảng Ngãi – Sài Gòn bằng xe máy” cho ae thưởng ngoạn rồi hehe.

Ban đầu đi ai cũng không cho nhưng mình và bạn gái quyết định đi một chuyến cho biết cảm giác. Thật sự thì đi cũng không nguy hiểm như mọi người thường nghĩ. Kinh nghiệm của mình đi xe máy là phải luôn có kính chiếu hậu để quan sát dòng xe cộ phía sau, luôn cho xe chạy cách xe ô tô hoặc xe máy khác một khoảng cách an toàn, không bám đuôi hoặc cắt ngang đầu xe khác. Và khi đi phải nhìn xa xa để tránh mấy con chó hay chạy băng qua đường. Đang chạy tốc độ cao mà đụng mấy con này là coi như toi mạng. Chuyến đi này mình chỉ tốn 165.000 tiền xăng.

Tết này mình cũng chạy xe máy về Quảng Ngãi, anh em nào muốn thử cảm giác đi xe máy thì mình hẹn ngày lập hội đi cùng :D

Recommended Reading for Developers

These books I used to read, they’re very useful for software developers. I found this post on Coding Horror.

cover
  • Code Complete 2
  • Steve McConnell’s Code Complete 2 is the Joy of Cooking for software developers. Reading it means that you enjoy your work, you’re serious about what you do, and you want to keep improving. In Code Complete, steve notes that the average programmer reads less than one technical book per year. The very act of reading this book already sets you apart from probably ninety percent of your fellow developers. In a good way.
  • I like this book so much that the title of this website is derived from it– the examples of what not to do are tagged with the “coding horror” icon. And there’s nothing funnier than a coding horror– until you have to deal with one yourself. Then it’s suddenly not so funny any more. Do yourself a favor. Make this the first book you read, and the first book you recommend to your fellow developers.
  • Updated 6/27/04: Version 2.0 released!
