Holidays... wait .. Study Break


I'm treating this 1 month study break as I would my post-A levels holidays. And as I would my retirement. And like my post/pre-prelim. What's up with me? I'm whiling time away doing leisure stuff.

A brief check of my daily activities: Breakfast, computer, discovery channel, computer, lunch, computer, studying, exercising, computer, dinner, channel 8, computer, sleep. I roughly contribute less than 10% of the time I'm awake studying. Less than an hour. Sure, it can get longer than an hour, but interspersed with long mindless strolls around the house. Learning Japanese or even Unix sounded more interesting than staring at the Post-Prelim Marking Scheme.

FYI, I managed to make more headway on Prelim stuff than learning Japanese semantics or even getting past the first chapter of Unix though. That's good.

For some reason, I'm trying to learn Japanese. Just for fun. Vocab is the biggest stumbling block, as well as the fact that not all Jap text are in Romanji [the hanyu pinyin version Japanese, as compared with Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji (Chinese)]. What, am I expected to carry out a list of Katakana-Romanji and Hiragana-Romanji transcripts? I hope not.

ODE .NET 0.9 just released. I'll be able to get back to translating the C++ ODE tutorials into C# ODE tutorials, yay! The one I'm planning to work on is the car joint hinges demo. I bet it's gonna be really cool to figure that one out. Suspension system with damping and Hooke's Law. Pivots, axles, socket joints. =D It's like playing with Lego except you got unlimited supplies.

Mythbusters is getting not so interesting. There were some stuff that didn't need testing, some stuff that were tested wrongly. But it's still interesting to watch. The next one, a special Snow episode, is gonna be nice. Can't wait for it.

Battlefield 2142 jammed/lagged on me... There's no anime to watch.... Sianz!


Gash is on crack.
