Taking a break from work to type out a blog entry. The last week has gone by so fast now that I'm working full-time it's unbelievable.

Just to catch up: Sunday played indoor, in which we won by a considerable margin that I can't remember. After that I went over to Rolando's place and played games on his Gamecube. My absolute favourite is a game called Red Card, which is a soccer game in which you can tackle, kick, harass, to your heart's desire, and most of the time the referee won't call it. In fact you can even … Read more →

I promise that this will be my last entry on COMP3804! lol

We got our overall marks for the project, and well... i dunno if they are good or bad. We aced the product development section (i.e. the development and the presentation of the product): we got 21/21 marks, and did really well in the other sections.

For the whole course overall i got 90.66/100%.

this ticks me off a bit, as most of you will recall, i only got a 6 for this course because of the piece of crap grade capping based on the exam result. If I … Read more →

I'm sure Andrew will be very happy at the change in weather over the past few days which is getting hotter. I'm sure he will be equally pleased that today is his name-day, and that tomorrow is the official beginning of summer.

Today I have been building my résumé in preparation for applying for some holiday IT-related work experience. I did have a résumé from before i applied at the supermarket at which I work (for privacy reasons i don't mention where i work, I don't know if you have noticed this before), but it was one of those ones … Read more →

Today the Mozilla Firefox web browser moved out of beta (pre-release) versions into a fully fledged publicly released version 1.0. It'll be a while before all the extensions and themes for the browser catch up with the 1.0 release, but i still highly reccommend people to use Firefox as their browser. There are many reasons to switch over, most of which i have mentioned in a previous blog entry. Try it out (it's only a small download) if you like it, use it, if not stay with Internet Explorer. Go here to download it.

The past few days … Read more →

Today in my plan was to be a whole day studying for my HIST2606 exam before i had to go to work at 5. After i woke up, had some breakfast and did some stuff, i got a message from Nick asking if I wanted to play Indoor Soccer for their team on a permanent basis starting from today. To be honest I'm not the biggest fan of indoor soccer (compared to futsal (another type of 'indoor' soccer)), but since i've stopped playing futsal (story as to why not included) i've really missed playing at least form of football (i.e. … Read more →

...and they got it wrong.

Today the results from the overnight U.S. presidential election started coming. Aside from it being a major distraction away from study, it was also interesting. I would label myself leaning toward the political right (not by a whole lot though) but in American politics I can't stand the Republican party, but even more so, I can't stand George Dubya Bush.

At the moment it seems that it is very close, with the state of Ohio being the deciding state of the entire election this time. There it is a close race with Bush about 120000 … Read more →

Today begins my study for my exams. Yesterday I mainly planned out what I'm going to do over the next two weeks and where. After doing a little bit of study this morning, i decided to take a break.

A few days ago Lucasfilm released the teaser poster for Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (shown below).

In my opinion the teaser poster isn't that great. The ones from Episode I and Episode II were much better.

It seems that the teaser trailer as well is going to be released in the next week or so. Exciting stuff … Read more →
