Marking
Thursday November 15, 2007
Oh geez I hate marking. I suppose it's a very easy way of earning money... at the cost of sanity. Still, I am amused by the number of really dumb students who just don't follow instructions, or they some how manage to be so smart that their assignment blows up in their face.
For example, this dude has managed to implement a text area and a scrollbar. Very good. Glad you got that far. However, he's managed to uncouple the scrollbar and the textarea, so that the textarea doesn't scroll. Fantastic. 0. Fail.
Oh yeah, I thought my marking was due in 4 days ago, but it's really due in tomorrow. I mentioned this to my mates at the CSC dinner and they were all like "so people like YOU are the reason our marks are so late!". Well nyeh to you :(
Debs flew back to Singapore today. I'm sure she'll be reading this sometime soon. Poor girl, she keeps complaining about how she'll have nothing to do. Except play DotA. pdoth
New Instruments
Wednesday November 14, 2007
Ever tried playing the teslacoil? Hold on..yes, I did just say teslacoil. That thing from science class that shoots out lightning bolts (Who broke the chain of pain?!?!), or if you're a geek, that tower thing from Command and Conquer. It can be used as a musical instrument.
This is epic win.
CSC Dinner
Tuesday November 13, 2007
So I was invited to join the "CSC" (The CompSci Crew, not the CompSci Club. Ask Sonny.) for dinner tonight. We went to the Thirsty Dog on K Road for a meal where we spent half the time talking about DotA, and the other half of the time observing a prostitute opposite the bar, trying to nab a client. Yeah.
Apparently she got a client after we left, says Daniela.
As with all normal computer scientist gatherings, the night was not over until we had gone to a Net Cafe and played DotA. We had two good games: I was Leviathan in the first, and Razor in the second. Great stuff.
Oh yes, as you can now see, I'm fully operational on a domain name, mrowr8d.com, so make sure you bookmark my site.
And I finally got a wireless router, so I can wi-fi with my DS! My Pokeymanz. Let me show you them :O
End of Exams, forever
Saturday November 10, 2007
So yesterday, I had my last undergraduate exam yesterday ever. Providing I pass all my exams this semester. But everyone seems to have some kind of belief that I'll pass, so I guess I will.
To celebrate, we had a LAN at church starting Friday night and lasting until Saturday evening. Big success, lots of people turned up and quite a few people were keen to learn to play DotA, and even those who weren't keen stuck around and played table tennis, or some board games.
Oh yes, check out the LAN November 2007 Gallery Page for some pictures I took with my webcam.
Testing Admin Panel
Friday October 5, 2007
Okay, so this is my first real blog entry, from the new admin panel that I've created..that no one can see. I can do bold and underline and italics and strikethroughs... I can also add links and stuff and.. yeah. But I'm lazy so I can't be bothered at the moment.
This should also hopefully be on a new paragraph.
I like having full control over what I put in my blogs. And by that, I mean the ability to write direct HTML in the blog. Maybe one day I can add the ability to parse PHP code. That would be hot :o
Edit: Comments are now enabled with bold, underline, strikethrough and italics, but no other HTML for the time being.
