Games

I want to play. Now even more normal. There were 10 people on my server. Got lots of work to do. I work slow.
Feel I screwed up the presentation today thats worth 30% of the final grade. Anyway I better get back to work. 1 hour behind time already.

EE3208 Embedded Computer Systems

That seems to be the only thing on my mind these few days…. Not by choice.
Wire wrapping the board and it takes so freaking long!!! :'(

Very rewarding module, in the sense that you actually LEARN in the module (something very different from other modules I have to sadly say)……
If you have the time that is.

Anyway maybe I should get back to wire wrapping. Maybe 1/5 of the way there? Night after night wire wrapping. I still need to the the report :|:'(
EE2001 and EE3208. Thats all I will be thinking of this weekend :(
Through in a bit of EE4210 Computer Communications Networks II and we have an ‘enjoyable’ weekend =D :P

Have a nice night people =)

3 projects

I have 3 main projects this semester. Less that last semester however workload much more. 2 of the projects is 100% of the module grade. I feel that the projects are good but just that I have no time to do them.
Sleep deprived and I guess going to be more sleep deprived. What to do what to do? Don’t sleep :P

RAR files dangerous?
Garry’s Mod for Half-Life 2. Take a look. Nice screen shots.

Anyway I better get back to work.
Warning to juniors, even though EE3208 is a very good module be prepared to work your butt off. Really

Opera rules!!! =D =D

Just read my bro’s blog and saw this.
All I can say is muahahahaha =p
But really I like Opera and I have liked it since version 3.21 =D
Yes its not perfect, yes it has ads (well only if you dont register/ crack it =P) but for me its all that I want from a browser and possibly even more I have yet to find out =D

To answer my bro’s question of him not seeing much difference is that Firefox is a more plain simple browser for those people looking for just an IE replacement. Opera on the other hand is more of a power browser offering more features (integrated mail client, IRC, PIM, notes) without having to install extensions. Speaking of extensions my friend installed a compatible extension for FF 1.0 and it caused his comp to crash and lose all his FF bookmarks.

Both are great browsers I admit. Opera isnt perfect either, it has some problems here and there. The most daunting ‘problem’ for new users I would guess is the ads; I bet there are people who believe that the ads are spyware but that is not true (Refer here). If you dont like the ads perhaps you could ask your university / school to get FREE licenses thats what I’m doing now :P

Firefox does support somethings that Opera doesnt. For some reason I cant access some https sites on Opera because Opera says it requests a login authentication method that is not supported but it works in FF *shrug*. MathML works better in FF the last time I checked.

Anyway I recommend trying both but for me Opera works the best and the way I like it. Customizable, feature rich, totaly a different and refreshing way to broswe the web and I wouldn’t have it any other way =D

Happy Chinese New Year to all!!!!

Just came back. Went out for dinner and then walked around the Esplanade. They got lots of stuff going on there. Lots of carnival games and stuff. Brings back memories of when I was in International School when they were having carnival games and such. I remember something to do with hitting a coconut with tennis balls I think as well as this 1 game where you roll a coin in order to land on a coloured spot. A green spot means double your coin value back or something like that. I remember playing that a lot and getting money back hahaha :P Signs of a young gambler? :P

Had dinner and girlfriend’s aunt’s place. Watched a movie starring Andy Lau (at least thats what my girlfriend said, I dont know who Andy Lau is :P) playing Mahjong. Ever since I’ve learnt how to play Mahjong during the IES Chalet early in January I want to play more :P haha

Anyway HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! =D

Tiring days

Been at the IES Fair 2004 and managing IES Gamecon 2005 aka IES LAN Games 2005.
See guys playing so much better than me :P
Anyway nice experience, better than last years IES Network Games 2004. This year a lot of timing problems due to people not wanting to skip class. Just wondering why I didnt seem to have that problem last year haha. Anyway 42 people joined due to my lack of forsight to limit registration to 32. But actually maybe I should have let it be a 64 player cap. Well note to the NEXT IES IT and publicity committees. Publicise EARLIER eventhough you may not have finalised the details of your sponsorships. Do NOT be like me!!!! :P
Also do NOT wait for approval for the LAN games from OSA before going to find sponsors :P
Well the sponsors I got where Playworks (for the computers and some prizes they got through their own sponsors), Barracuda (for the mouse pads as well as prizes) and atf (for some prizes).

Been a long and tiring experience. Today is the last day and I’m up at 0500 due to my 0530-0930 security shift. So I’ll be hear at the Science Foyer from 0530 to about 2000 or maybe even later. Have to see how things go with pack up and stuff.

Anyway I better start doing my assignment due on Monday :(
Tuesday paper design for EE3208 Embedded Computer Systems. I havent even started on that :|
Weekend going to be work filled :S:'(
Need to do my EE2001 project at get the RF circuit designed as well as working hopefully :D

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
