Finished CoD 4

Phew, as the Chinese New Year is around the corner I am less and less motivated to do my FYP now...hopefully I could be recharged during the break :) By the way I've finished Call of Duty 4 on my mac, quite a cool game. Cinematic, full of twists, and not too long. Each mission only takes around 10 to 15 mins, unless you die too often..:P

Running big jobs on the computing centre server, slow till like a turtle lol...

Argh...Not productive at all

I've been a bit sad these two days. I've made no progress in FYP since last week presentation, understood the course materials hardly, cannot do the tutorials and had no motivation to start writing the thesis! Instead I came here to blog lol

Buck up, it's not that hard right? Just go for it KG!

Welcome back!

It's been a long time...I've been busy with my honors year project in the first semester, and came to realize that I've been not updated my blog for 6 months! That proves how lazy I am...lol

Bought a mac, used since September last year, and everything goes smoothly as expected. OS X is fun to tinker with, beautiful eye candy and very user friendly. though I miss my times in Linux world at times...

Just finished second Honors year presentation, loooooong winded like a granny. I exceeded the time limit, and it seems that I do need time to hone my presentation and scripts before I go for presentations...

New Semester is gonna start soon...and Twitter

Time flies, and I will be turning into a Year 4 student very soon. Like everyone in NUS does, I worry about this, about that which is supposedly trivial. What to do in new semester? "A million dollars question, dude."  Too many modules to take, part time at Munchie Monkey(Yeah, I interviewed and were employed already), probably doing lab demonstrator for Year 1 Lab, and at the same time FYP coming...argh!

By the way, I'm on Twitter now : http://twitter.com/junyuan1987 Check it out!

A nice essay: Richard Feynman and The Connection Machine

A nice article on Richard I stumbled upon the web. Feynman always seek new things to explore, and have a gold heart to share what he knows to other people. Pretty lengthy, but worth a read :) Enjoy^^

My favorite quote:

(when the author told Feynman that he's sad because he's going to die)

"Yeah," he sighed, "that bugs me sometimes too. But not so much as you think."
And after a few more steps, "When you get as old as I am, you start to realize
that you've told most of the good stuff you know to other people anyway."

We share because we care ;)

Google Chrome OS

Wow, is that true? I mean, Google mean it? Chrome, being a browser which is less than 1 year old, is going to enter the OS war where Windows 7, OSX Snow Leopard and various Linux distros fight their way out. On the bandwagon of cloud technology and web-based applications, Chrome OS aims to be a lightweight, fast and easy to use OS. Yeah that is fantastic, since everyone of us use the web for most of the stuff, like checking email, watching video, listen to music, interact with friends etc...With the promising technologies like HTML 5, this is surely a big hit. Well, after all it is built on Linux kernel, which is free and open sourced. Hooray!
