Parents

Have you ever sit down and think how your parents have treated you and how you've treated them all these years? For some people, they might think parents are people who want to take control of their lives. I mean, let's face it - parents can be really bossy at times when they don't listen to you and expect you to obey what they say. Then when you're really pissed off at that time you'll yell back at your parents, and in return - either lock yourself inside a room thinking of how miserable your life is, or getting a 4 hours lecture from your dad, or watching your mom emo-ing all over the place.

Stop and think. There should be a reason behind all these. Well, why do they took all the trouble to nurture you, watch over you, protect you and raise you all these times? Just to take over your life and have you rebel against them? It does not make sense at all. They did all these knowing the fact that you will eventually leave them somewhere in the future.

Though it's a bad analogy, let's say you're raising a pet dog. You took care of it since the day it was born. You feed it, clean it, took care of its droppings, clean up after its mess. One fine day it tore apart your favorite shoe, so you got enraged and scolded it but in return it got angry and bit your hand. How would you feel? What if you know one day the dog will leave you - will you still take care of it?

I know parents are sometimes wrong. But parents are humans too, just like us. They make mistakes just like how we screw up sometimes. Well, if you dislike your parents comparing yourself with other people, or dislike them making jokes out of you in front of relatives, or just anything - you can always talk to them nicely. Of course, you must be willing to think it all over and don't expect your parents to do what you said - because sometimes the problems lies in you.

To make things simple, you put yourself in your parents shoes - you think what they think, you feel what they feel. Eventually you'll understand being a parent is not easy at all. You'll have to bear the responsibility of raising, educating and protecting your children. On top of that, you'll have to take care of the emotions of your children and bear all the responsibilities of the mistakes your children make - making sure they turn out to be the best they can.

People often wonder the reason I follow my parents around, unlike my sister, who is always not around. I respect my parents. They've guided me all these years and shielded me from the cruelty of the world. Without them, I will cease to exist.

It's time for me to do the same to my parents. I'll make them feel safe. I'll make them feel they're not alone. I'll protect them.

A talk on dreams

I just woke up from an afternoon nap and I have this weird dream that skips from scene to scenes.
 
Part one of the dream involves me buying tickets for movies. I bought a lot of tickets so the price is kind of expensive. It took me quite some time to combine the small quantities of cash in my wallet to pay. Apparently for some unknown reasons the cashier said I paid insufficient amount of cash. Out of the blue security guard guy (with plain clothes, no uniform) came towards me a dragged me out of the queue forcefully. All the while I tried to explain to him it was a misuderstanding but he didn't listen and grabbed my neck. Just when I want to fork out some Aikido moves and teach him a lesson - I woke up from my dream. BUMMER.
 
Part two involves in a game (I think is RO, no details), I left my game character on a map and I activated rain. The next morning I come and check the character appeared somewhere else. So as I investigated the incident, it turns out the game's rain will induce flooding and thus the character gets flushed to somewhere else.
 
Part three is where I teleported to some unknown time and unknown place where I was participating in a competition. I think it's related to some tech entrepeneurship thing. So the participants and I rode on a jetplane back to Malaysia. The jetplane is operated by some unknown nation. They boast about their safety features where you can escape from the sides whenever accidents happen. The plane is not very big, but has ample space for us (rows and rows of sofas), guess it's a private plane. When entering Malaysia air space the plane was forced to enter a thunderstorm area. There was a heavy turbulence and everybody was afraid that the plane will crash. That time I tried to use telekinesis and control the weather. Surprise surprise! The weather within the plane's area cleared off (it's like a hole in the storm). I remember someone commented on how weird is the weather, sudden on sudden off. Then the plane landed and starts cruising on the roads (?!). The crew member told us this is a special plane that can cruise on normal roads. I remember the ruckus we made caused a motorcyclist swaying left and right, nearly falling while watching us pass by dumbfounded. Then the ruckus caused a few sports car tried to race with us, but end up banging into each other.
 
Then the scene jumps to a ceremony (voting and prize giving). For no apparent reason I am winding wires and packing up stuff during that ceremony. In the ceremony, the big shots in fortune 500 companies get to vote which participant they like the most. Then durng the voting session, a guy participant claimed to be from KBU approached me. He said he was from some kind of computer course (I don't remember). Then a girl participant, who appears to be from KBU too, approached me too. Just when I asked her which course she took, *poof*. I woke up from my dream. BUMMER.
 

 
Normally in my dreams I kind of have telekinetic abilities... When I concentrate my thoughts, I am able to fly and in this case, control weather. (Don't tell anyone: I used to play micro-telekinesis in LRT *nothing better to do* where I try to force the LRT to close the doors/start moving by issuing commands in my mind. *of course it doesn't work in real life though there are a lot of occurences where the timing is just right :P*)

Nokia N82 - A Power User's Review

The following is my review on Nokia N82 after using for over 24 hours, based on my personal view.
 
The Looks
Though I personally prefer clamshell phones, the Nokia N82 - although being a candybar form factor - looks undeniably well designed. The phone's size is roughly equals to Motorola A1000 but the mass is around half of it. The housing is made out of acrylic-type (I'm just guessing based on the optical and physical characteristics, don't take my word for it) reflective mateial, so it feels solid on the hands. The buttons are designed to save space, while preventing users with big thumbs from pressing the wrong buttons - small, yet properly spaced. The sensitivity of the numerical keypad is excellent. Though the shoulder buttons and joypad are slightly awkward to press. The headphones slot is placed on the top instead of on the side (A1000), which made the phone fit well into the pocket and solves the problem of accidentally disconnecting the headphones. Equipped a QVGA (240x320) TFT LCD with smart backlighting (with light sensors on the front of the unit), the display of the phone is consistently crisp and vibrant.
 
The Feel
Running on one of the latest OSes from Nokia - the Symbian S60 3rd Edition r20.0.062 (9.2 kernel) - the N82 has a clumsy OS due to the comparatively deep and over-complicated menus. The configuration panels are scattered everywhere. For instance WiFi configuration can be controlled in 2 different places; you have to dig into a chunk load of menus just to change the display options; some menu categories are oddly splitted and placed in different locations; applications are oddly categorized, and the list goes on.
 
Furthermore, the OS locks most parts of the C/D/F/Z drives from user-land application access, making easy-customizations to the OS almost impossible. The OS doesn't provide useful (user-friendly) error messages when fatal errors occur, for instance APN locked by USIM (though it's more like an OS limitation rather than USIM) is reported as a very cryptic message.
 
The OS' use of the hardware accellerometer by switching the display into portrait/landscape mode when you tilt the phone doesn't work very well, a bit too sensitive. Furthermore, the OS' MIDP 2.0 implementation is non-standard, especially for the copyArea method in Graphics objects - it is totally screwed when copying regions that overlap.
 
Of course, the OS is not a total disaster, the quick application shortcuts on Standby Mode (Microsoft lingo: Today Screen; Symbian UIQ lingo: Home) are highly configurable. Another feature worth mentioning is the quick start application for the phone to import Internet and messaging settings from the USIM card. The feature of ringing through both the internal loudspeaker and headphones when calls are being received in headset mode solves the "listening to MP3 in train" scenario.
 
Though the online firmware updater is a really nice feature, the Nokia Software Updater installation on Windows Vista is as bumpy as driving off-road on a Jeep (though I think most of the problems lies in Vista itself). I have to reinstall it 4 times just to finish installing without failing halfway through.
 
Due to having dual 332MHz OMAP ARM11 CPUs, the phone software and applications are very responsive. To demonstrate the power of the CPUs, the 5 Megapixels camera boots up in less than 4 seconds right after you flip open the camera shutter. The dual CPUs seems to save power quite well, compared to Motorola A1000's single 160MHz CPU.
 
The GPS hardware and drivers are excellent. This is my first time getting a satellite fix in less than 1 minute (in fact, almost instant) on a mobile phone. Normally, A1000 takes around 10 minutes to obtain a fix, even on AGPS mode; the N82 did it in shorter time, without AGPS - making GPS navigation really fast and easy. One drawback is the accuracy of the GPS hardware - it is not really useful on places with narrow lanes due to having low accuracy.
 
Transferring files to the N82 is really fast (almost 10x faster than A1000), kudos to Nokia on that.
 
Sound quality (stock headphones) on the N82 is above average, with great treble and weak, but acceptable bass (you can hear them, but you can't feel the *thump* in your ears). But you can always change it to something you like since it uses a common 3.5mm audio jack.
 
The Verdict
Though I can't really give a complete conclusion since I'm still a new user, but this is what I can think of:
 
The Nokia N82 is for you if:
- You are willing to read the manual (and call your telco company when you screw up PIN2 when tweaking the APN restriction)
- You are willing to memorize keypad shortcuts OR navigate through really deep menus just to launch the voice recorder application
- You want Xenon flash and great lens (5MP Carl Zeiss Tessa) with autofocus on your phone
- You want to expand the features of your phone by installing custom software
- You (like me) are a fan of HSDPA, 802.11b, GPS, GPRS, FM (radio) altogether
- You want a device capable of scanning QR Codes on stock configuration (the Japanese love to put it in web sites and magazines)
- You know what is Firmware, J2ME and Symbian.
- You want to break free from Apples, Oranges, Doors and Windows *wink*.
 
Overall I think the designer of the Nokia N82 really made an effort in designing the phone. (when compared to Motorola A1000: flimsy headphones, disconnecting USB interface, rusting USB connectors, missing quick dial etc.)

Life is a Game of Chess

Though we are pawns and though pawns are pretty much useless by itself, if they gather in number, they form an invincible team. When black knights and rooks try to push pawns around, pawns must act strategistically - that way even knights and rooks can't touch you and you can take them down any time by moving just one step diagonally. If it's a black bishop chasing after you, move straight on and the bishop is no more a threat.
 
Remember, there are still white knights, rooks, bishops and queens, you must know where to find them. Though it may seem black knighst, rooks, bishops and queens are overpowering due to thei numbers, they are highly stupid due to their barbaric nature - soon they will notice white pawns have always been secretly launching a revolt against them - leading to their destruction in one fell swoop.
 
Awaken, white pawns! The time has come! Eraticate all thoughts of "there's no way to change", "it has always been like this", "I'm too young to die", "I have 3 children"! (you want your children to be consumed by black knights and curse you for eternity?)
 
And soon, with proper planning and execution, one day, white pawns will be promoted to white knghts, rooks, bishops or even queens.

Programmer Joke (Real Story)

Programmer A:
I wan to make my code directly END the operation at that line. Is there any command in C++?
For example:

CODE


IF
{
 instruction
}
 else
     if
     {
       instruction
       "FORCE END HERE??"
     }
     else if
     {
       instruction
     }




Can i?

Programmer B:
BREAK can be use in 'IF' statement,just like using it in 'SWITCH' statement..

Or if u like to experimenting, try CONTINUE as well..tongue.gif

Cheers
---
 
Programmer C:
Just !@#$ use 'return'. If my memory serves me well, 'break' cannot be used in if statements (C++) (so does 'continue').

Psst psst.. teach you a secret trick to end the application any time without fail. Don't tell anyone!

CODE

{ int i = 0; int j = 1/i; }



SIGFPE 100% guaranteed! icon_idea.gif biggrin.gif

Or another secret ninja method:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


CODE

{ int *i = NULL; *i = 10; }




SIGSEGV 101% guaranteed! icon_rolleyes.gif

Programmer A:
okok i'll try to be low profile lol. shakehead.gif
It works also but the weird thing is, when it reach the operation where i insert the above 2 secret code it POP OUT has encountered a problem ; send error report thing =.="
 
---
 
Programmer D:
u really tried? rofl... that guy was being sarcastic
those are methods to crash your prog

Programmer A:
then he must be a badass xD
Bully a pure innocent kids like me cry.gif

Enod Nath Dias Reisae

The KBU International College School of Engineering is proud (or is it?) to launch the development of the Engineering Laboratory Inventory Tracking System (ITS) codenamed: Enod Nath Dias Reisae.
 
The project unofficially kicked off a few weeks ago without proposal, documentation or guidelines on an infamous language known as Visual BASIC 6.0. Today, after wresting on a language with such an unconventional grammar such as this, the development team has made a big step into porting everything into C# from scratch.
 
With the database table (and application design) still in the designing process, can the development team hyperthread themselves by designing + programming at the same time, producing the final product on-time? Time will tell.
