I was just dreaming that I didn’t take enough English subjects in college to graduate, which totally doesn’t make sense now that I’m awake. I really believed it while sleeping though. I was told I was missing like 6 English classes. That would take me another year to finish those! By then I probably would have fallen out of practise with programming. It’s already taking me long enough to find work.
I got a black suit for finding work. I got lazy dress shoes too awhile ago.. and now I still need a dress shirt and tie. It’s been a drag and hit on morale shopping with mother.
I’m 3 levels away from being reaching level 80 in Priston Tale. That’s pretty hardcore! However my brother is catching up quick with his own character.. I want to be the first to reach 80! However he has alot more time to do nothing than I do, even though he is still in school. Awhile we go we joined a chinese clan in the game, and they’ve been really helpful. Alot of them are talking chinese and I can’t read it, but there’s the few that know english and that’s good enough for me. 
Went to Fairview mall on Friday, the first time since they made a bunch of changes. I could tell from the outside they changed a few things whenever I was on my way home from college. I had overheard someone say that inside looked like a whole new mall, that they could not even recognize it anymore. Still seemed like the same mall to me, but more elegant now. The food court especially has been moved to a bigger area where they set it up very beautifully. It was nice enough to make me think.. if I were to go on a date right now, I’d so want to eat here, but the rest of the mall is still a bore.
I feel lazy.. so next few blogs are gonna be short and about nothing in particular.
This one is to mention about the Gokusen dvd special. It was really long!! It felt like a movie, in fact it was being almost 2 hours long. There was alot of happenings.. those special touching moments of whatever happenings. There was new background scenes used not ever shown before in the regular drama, so that was interesting.. seeing some new halls or sides of the school or Yankami’s place. Affter watching this, I don’t think I want to see her go through another class of different students and risk being disappointed.. thee characters in the class were all good enough.
Finished watching just now. Not much to say but just that I loved every single episode of it! Fantastic performance! And what’s this? Shin is after Yankumi too?? I always thought there might be that chance. Darn I’m gonna miss this class! Fail now! xD
Very good that the head teacher came through to help Yankumi, there was really no one who would help her other than him. Of course he had to have enough reason to do so.. so the students and Yankumi excel at that.
That director guy sure is evil. I thought he would just play a very serious professional role, but really he was being an ass like how the head teacher usual is. What was up with that one random laugh of his? Scary.
Next is the special DVD episode, then I’m gonna start Season 2 However I’m worried that it may not be as good. If not, I’ll stop early.
Universal Firefox 0.3 Release Candidate 1 is here! If you are wondering about the link, it’s hosted on my own website. 0.3 includes binaries for running Firefox on MacOS. I’ll try to update this post later with more infomation, but for now check out our wiki page…
Other briefs: I want to give my own shout out to Chris and Dave for such a fantastic semester it has been. It has been real inspiring to learn to open up to the possibilities and concepts that come with Open Source! You guys do a great job pushing the projects, sometimes which scares me (a good thing) and helped me to see the amazing vastness that Mozilla technology is. To me it feels like a new religion in software engineering. This is an experience I won’t forget and won’t let down. As Peter Evanoff mentioned, although we’re done school we’ll eventually bring our project to a version 1! I’m still gonna jump and hang in IRC randomly.. I think I certainly would have time telling students of the next class OSD600 how to build Firefox! - At least I think I contributed in that by writing “Minefield for Dummies”. Anyway it’s time to look for work and I’ve been holding up some other personal learning projects all year - I’ll blog about those things in the future here if I don’t manage to bore you to death.
Today I’m 23! Hurray! I’m supposed to be studying.. I planned on it since I do have a test tomorrow, but I’ve been failing ^_^. I’m getting many shout outs from the SYKO community, many friends on Facebook and other very special people in my life who I love. I’m not having any crazy events this day, but its a peaceful day and I’m enjoying that. I do look forward to making this a fun Spring. I real Spring, such as getting out and just enjoying the sun.
On top of all that I’m graduating from college this year! I feel life is going to be a big change now. I have no idea what are all the things to look forward to and I certainly look forward to it all. Whatever may come in my path. College has given me so many experiences now, I still miss high school, I still compare those days.. but overall learning and struggling in life has had its most satisfying rewards. There’s more to come for sure in terms of work, but I just don’t know would I’d ever again have the chance to celebrate learning successes with friends in quite the same way. Maybe one day I’ll go to university again, I certainly miss it.
Thank you everyone!
Yup, I started watching Gokusen randomly. Started awhile ago actually. Seems like its getting better with each episode too! What’s interesting I think, is that the of values of the students in the 3-D class is arguably better than the other schools!
This episode had many good parts to it too. Just to keep it short, I’m really liking the series so far. Sorry to bring up old stuff though
I missed an entry for why I choose the USB Firefox, so here’s to make up for it. Come to think of it I didn’t even know what OSD stood for when I took the subject. I just needed 2 subjects to graduate and this is one of the 2 extra random subjects that I took. I remember being asked on the first week, what brought me here and I said, “I have no idea what I’m getting myself into”. Having Chris for professor again (since my IPC) was reason enough. This goes back to what I was saying on my “Last Class” entry though. This subject really deserves a permanent billboard to advertise enrolment!
Anyway though, after the projects were laid out for us, I really wanted to help develop something that everyone can use. That’s my biggest drive in programming also, to make someone that everyone can enjoy. If I didn’t go into programming I might have become an artist! -or something in between like computer graphics design. (Well, there’s still time )
Economically it was a good choice to make also since I wanted to take advantage of buying a USB Key. It was suggested that we get one in order to hold our Mozilla build. As it turns out though I never really did use it for that since the school is so generous with lending out laptops.
I suppose it was these two things that lead me to take on USB Firefox!
It was a little scary, I mean everyone was a bit scared for that matter. This thing is huge and we’re trying to add a brick to this quite solid building. Or another metaphor: It’s like we’re putting a new Janga piece into the tower. Chris told us that the Mozilla community didn’t know how big this project is. Some said it is small, while some others said its huge. On choosing day, I was still trying to measure the success / failure percentage of the project. You never really know until you start hammering it out.
Today though, I consider myself lucky. As I hoped, Peter E and I had gotten a good head start with 0.1. We didn’t take it lightly like we might have for other subject’s first assignments. It was this course that even got me started on using Firefox regularly.. and it has been quite the eye opener.
Next entry, Universal Firefox 0.3 Release!
