Where? Bachelor's Degree Project, Technology When? April 20th, 2007 Who? [[[[|]]]]

the bachelor's degree project demonstration last week showcased dozens of robots of all shapes and sizes… they travel in air, on land and underwater… not to mention the amphibious ones… from the legless snakes to the two-legged bipeds to the four-legged turtle to the six-legged crab… i'm not sure if there were any with even more legs… and then there were the helicopters, boats and hovercrafts… i wasn't present for most of the demonstrations so i can't be sure what else there were… anyway… here are some of them in pictures… to view their videos on youtube… just follow the links… they include stairobratenigmaturtletronmicromousesnakedexterous hand… and of course… vortex

Where? Technology When? January 10th, 2007 Who? [[[[|]]]]

engadget is blogging live from macworld 2007… and the coolest gadget of them all is the iphone… do drool over the pics and news there… i wouldn't want to plagiarise their coverage here… i'd love to get my hands on it when it's released in asia next year… if it does reach our shores… a long wait though…

apple tv was also unveiled… it's pretty much a media center to wirelessly stream digital video and music from your macs to your widescreen…

115 degrees celsius… that’s the temp of my overheated amd when all of a sudden my cpu fan stopped for some mysterious reason… luckily i could start it again after waiting for it to cool down… if it had really burnt then i guess i would be shopping for a dual-core now… haha… luckily for me my pocket is still intact… on the other hand… after a few hours of shredding two days back… my korg switched off by itself and i couldn’t get it to work again… i still haven’t sent it for repair… and i’m not sure if it’s the adapter problem or not… hopefully it isn’t the stompbox itself as it will be quite a hassle to have it fixed… or worse still… it can’t be fixed… 

three days of orientation… at least the chairs in the lecture room were high-backed so i could lean and doze off… ;) i did sleep a few hours in total i think… not to sure… well anyway it’s back to work tomorrow… actual work… probably start some hands-on programming or somethin’… i dunno… but it’s time to shift gears…

even though the hours are long and i don’t have enough sleep… i kinda like it here… haha… like i said… a change in environment is much welcome… and the blues are slowly drifting away… :)

memory gain

upgraded my pc’s ram to 1gb to better multi-task like i always do… especially for dvd-burning which is resource-hungry… i guess this amount of memory should suffice for the time being :)

to those ppl stayin near my area e.g. tmn pulai utama, tmn u and etc… you may be interested to know that my neighbor’s nissan sunny (old model) was stolen last night around 0430 hours… so i would advise u guys to be more wary and cautious in this dark hour… or rather… during the dark hours past midnight…
i have therefore set up a surveillance system whereby i can monitor the goings-on in front of my house from my desktop… since my car is usually parked outside… yup… it’s the car in the background… outside the gate…
if anyone has any ideas on a better security system… please do comment ;)
