Whoami

Hello world. My name is Blake Chen, and the IDs I often use in the cyber world are CX330 & The Star (since CX330 is hard to pronounce). I am currently a college student, majoring in computer science. I want to become a really great hacker, just like Condor or The Mentor.

I’m a perfectionist, always striving to optimize everything in my life. When I fall short of my own expectations, it frustrates me, even though I know perfection is unattainable. Sometimes I try too hard and
make a lot of things overflow, such as my brain, my schedule, my emotions, etc.

Knowing that I’m just an ordinary person, I often wonder if my dreams are too big or too ambitious. But even so, I’ll still keep trying to reach the goals just because of fun and my curiousity.

Why CX330

“CX330 is the most isolated young star that has been discovered.” — NASA

As NASA researchers mentioned, CX330 is a young and isolated star. I chose it as my ID because I deeply understand the importance of embracing solitude on the path to becoming a hacker. Only in solitude can I achieve a state of complete focus, and this intense isolation allows me to reach a state of flow. I hope this ID constantly reminds me to cherish and enjoy every moment of solitude, aspiring to become a young and brilliant star (and that’s why I say you can call me The Star).

My Dreams

I have a lot of dreams so it’s hard to list all of them here. But one of them is that I hope one day I can become a hacker remembered by the world.

I’m not a good hacker yet, and I also don’t know how long it will take to become one. But the one thing I know is that I will keep staying on my path. Even if people laugh at me and don’t believe in me, I still believe in myself and my talent. Yes, I’m not the smartest. But I’m the one who has dreams. And to achieve them, I will keep learning and keep hacking.

I hope one day, people will remember my name and my ID, remember Blake Chen, remeber The Star, remeber CX330.
