Hectic more like it. Very hectic. Not much time to relax. From projects to sponsors to tutorials to lectures to who knows what else. Anyway I better get going back to my room to get my embedded system. Going to start soldering tonight :D
Month: January 2005
Another long day
Tomorrow despite a public holiday is another lecture day for me :(
Got a Bluetooth radio, but no Bluetooth enabled devices :P
Need it for project work. Now need to program the Java application to interface with the Bluetooth radio.
Beer fights cancer haha :P
Sleepy. Sleep soon. Very soon.
Make your own MP3 Player
Slashdot article
Main website (Minty MP3)
Cool stuff :D I want to make 1 now haha.
Makes me wonder if I could use it to attach to my remote controlled boat that I’m doing for EE2001 project and have it play music while ‘cruising’ in the water :P
Maybe I dont need to sleep this semester
2 modules : 100% project based
1 module : ‘killer’ module. A LOT of maths
1 module : 40% project based
1 module : Not too sure what to expect but it doesnt look good =|
1 club : IES
1 UROP : Seems quite heavy but its 1 year long
But still =|
I guess that means website upgrade will have to wait :”(
Wanted to finish it by the end of the week but I dont think I can devote the time to that :(
Have a happy semester people. I hope I can have one
Laptop screen screwed
IE screwed.
Adobe Acrobat Reader screwed.
How the heck am I supposed to use my laptop now. Life doesn’t seem to get any better does it?
Tried attaching my laptop to a TV set yesterday. Its ok if you want to watch DVDs on the TV but its killing my eyes if I try to read the text. Had to change resolutions and despite that still very hard to read. TV resolution is 320×240. I think I heard or read that somewhere. Correct me if I’m wrong but I could care less if I were. All I want is a working laptop.
Attended 2 lectures so far. And both of them seem like putting a nail in the coffin that I seem to have bought myself this semester. Workload going to be pretty heavy I think. Next semester I’m not sure if its going to be any different with my FYP (Final Year Project) and Real time embedded systems which everyone says is another killer module just like EE2011 Electromagnetics that I’m taking this semester. Sigh…
Thats all I can do.
Sponsors stuff not confirmed. Club disorganised I feel. Noone reads mails. Noone contributes. Or at least so it seems.
Life been bad
For module choosing. Clashes and modules not being offered to engineering students in semester 2….
Anyway went to chalet on Monday until Wednesday morning. All the way in the east National Service Resort & Country Club. No Internet connection… Costa Sands Resort the last chalet I went to had a connection and a good one at that. Ended up going to McDonalds to get my fix of emailing important stuff like my appeal to take a module despite a clash in lecture timing….
Watched ‘The Exorcist’ and ‘My Sassy Girl’ the 1st night of the chalet. 2nd night planned to night cycle and watch the sun rise but it was raining… grrrr Wasted money on renting the bikes. I learnt Mahjong there!!! :P haha Need a reference guide to ‘read’ the characters though haha
Anyway I think this semester which starts on Monday :|:|:| is going to be quite a bad one. 5 modules with 2 modules having the grade soley based on projects :|:|:| Anyway hope for the best for all the rest of you still choosing modules.
Happy New Year!!!
Or is it? Laptop still not fixed yet. Need to get work done and its very hard to get it done on a computer that’s not mine. I would install all the stuff I need but its still not the same.
Have to call the service centre on Monday. Hopefully its done. Big hopefully. It took like 1 month+ to replace a broken bracket or something like that the last time when my laptop could not open/close properly. Hopefully it wont take that long to replace the screen. sigh… I want my laptop!!!!! :'(
Anyway HAPPY NEW YEAR to all. Enjoy the year ahead
