It’s raining and its a cold morning. I sent my phone through the wash again yesterday, as expected it still works even though this is the third time its been dunked. It’s not the phone I’m worried about, looks like the SIM card is borked. Replacements are a PITA, like, $30 per piece. Anyway I’m seriously considering saving up to get a new phone. The one I have is a piece of crap (partly due to my fault ;) ).

Oh well, I’m also toying with the idea of delaying the building of my server till I migrate to SNBB seeing how *Hub blocks port 80 anyway and reverse proxying is just a hassle. Heh, so much to buy, so little money :D

In other news, a few disused and (in a rather sad state) abandoned hardware was found in the empty space near the red level toilet on Thursday. It seems everything valuable had already been looted and the only usable thing left was a HSF from a Acer Veriton 5100. Needless to say I pocketed it and its now residing in my K6-2. Compared to my old HSF, this one is bigger and has a faster fan. Its a rather small improvement, but an improvement nevertheless.

Hm, until I get my notebook (a MacBook hopefully), I can’t really make any concrete plans as to how I’ll be spending my money. Heh, time for my monthl civillised rant about why I think the MacBook line will be revised with better hardware.

Yeah so the main reason is because of the release of Leopard. With Leopard comes new and exciting apps and features and by looking at previews of Core Animation, I’m pretty sure the MacBook will need something with more horsepower than a GMA950. Preferably a GMA x3000 or the much-hyped about Radeon X2300. Now the only problem is when it will come out, I hope its in April or May or it won’t make it in time for the production of the HDay flash. In which case I’d have to settle for a PC-notebook. :(

I just notice my wishlist is gone for some strange reason so I’ll be creating another one probably when I have the time.

The exam timetable was circulated around on Friday, so I’ve got about four weeks of study time before it begins. Now I’ll be realistic, I’m not setting goals of topping the levels or anything. My main aim is to achieve results that warrant a ‘good’ (so around 70+?).

I’m currently making good progress in clearing the backlog of homework from my C Math books. It’s pretty rushed but its working, I’ll probably need to come back to revise Logarithms again when I have the time though. Next up is Coordinate Geometry. Also of concen is CL, which I’m rather weak at. So yeah, more practice needed dah?

My mailbox has been rather quiet so I’m wondering how Operation Augean Stable would be implemented. I’ll probably give cflee a buzz or something later.

*Public Warning System Test Chime is heard, another reminder of the beginning of April.. Sigh.*

The SLS price drop has cooled down, only minor lowering of prices now. Oh well, the longer I wait the cheaper they get. So yeah, no rush. :)

It’s interesting to note that my parents are already beginning holiday planning, ironic to some extent.

Also, check out ndoo’s blog for a ‘balancing ac’ remix. It’s cool and I’ve yet to try it out myself. He says its easy, the 45-degree angles of the chairs is almost surreal if you look at it long enough.

I’ll be back later today with more stuff.




I reject your reality, and substitute my own.
