E-learning part 2
Few days ago, I posted up my response on the e-learning issue as requested by my lecturer. I was quite shocked after found out that not more than 5 people posted their response. Is this a sign showing that even though we are studying computer science, but we still do not appreciate and utilize the internet connection wisely? Or this shows that our e-learning system has some problem because it doesn’t help attracting students to login (in other word, it sucks)?
But then, I am quite impressed that there are people who rely on the internet resources in studying in my course. This is because in my college, we are rely on the lecturer for notes. If a lecturer does not provide notes for photocopying, then he/she will be in trouble when students evaluate him/her during the end of semester. Not many who are really interested finding out more on the subject somewhere else and this is probably why not many logged into the BlackBoard and post their response.
In my response, I pointed out that constant electrical supply is a main factor in order to make e-learning a success. It is quite insulting when we are already used to electricity black-outs even in this so-called “Advanced State”. Besides that, decent broadband coverage is also another important factor because not many residents in Malaysia are able to surf online with the help of broadband. Even one can surf using broadband, if he/she is using Streamyx’s service, then he/she will probably suffer from the constantly service down. Even though there are other ISPs providing broadband connection but they cant provide low cost connection. This is because wired connection that is generally cheaper is already monopolized by Telekom. In order to use other ISPs’ services, we will need to pay more for the hardware because they use wireless technology to deliver broadband connection.
If these problems are left unbothered, then I do not expect E-learning will become a trend in Malaysia.

又放一次飞机
本来是真的打算这几天假期可以更新一下我的论坛的，只是过了这么多天，还是停留在空讲的状态。刚刚发觉到phpbb已经出到2.0.18了，目前已经下载到了我的laptop准备近日内把论坛更新一下。然后呢近期内将会为论坛装上Cash Mod作为虚拟形象Mod的准备。呵呵呵呵，拖拖拉拉了这么多天，还是没什么东西出来。
前几天仙城的负责人和我说起论坛的应该是宣传的策略吧，只是目前我还没看到actual的plan出来，所以也不知道是什么来的，也不知道如何参与起。但是如果配合的条件是我能负担的话，那我应该会考虑吧，必经论坛间相互扶持总比相互敌视好。只是我的论坛目前还在筹备的阶段，也不知道会维持到什么时候，到时配合不懂会不会很尴尬？看着热心的他强调说看了他的plan，我会加速论坛的筹备，呵呵呵。就算论坛程序到时准备好了，我还要自己写一个程序给排行榜成绩储存的，呵呵呵，这样等起来也不知道是何年何日了。
除了程序上的困扰外，其实我还在继续挖掘i乐的特色，因为目前的站点简介基于论坛的定位尚不够吸引而变得很难写，所以这点也是为什么我论坛迟迟不开始宣传的原因。因为第一印象只有一次，而我希望我的第一次呈现出来的i乐是接近完美的，所以内容上以及一大堆策略迟迟不能够定下来，尤其是广告和管理的策略。
最后写写有关本blog的事情，我的blog有幸被Knight先生选中转播到bloglah.net，这个站点集合了很多本地blogger的blog posts，有空可以去跑跑。

废柴广播续集
今天是我这个笨蛋第二次玩广播，之前困扰了甚旧的问题终于解决了，所以我也能够提供高清晰的广播了。一切都很顺利，只是因为普通收听者必须下载额外的software，所以可能就是这样造成收听率超级下降。不过这次把所有的过程都录了下来，下次有机会再玩的话可以拿来作参考。
由于把过程录了下来，发现到有很多问题是广播者不会发觉到的。一，我今天状态不是很好，鼻音很重。再来，就是microphone太过于Sensitive了，导致杂音也参进去了。此外，也间接造成鼻音已经很重的我更加口齿不清，呵呵呵。第一次听自己乱talk的感觉，其实老实说，有点智障……从来没有expect自己说话是这种鬼调的，呵呵呵。
不过还好啦，很多东西你没玩过，你不知道有趣的地方是那里。只是很好笑的是，无论是粤语还是华语，我的语调都不正的。其实标准的华语要我说也不是很大问题，但是我口中说出来的话会变成很做作，很矫情这样子，所以就算了吧（我很厉害找借口吧）。呵呵呵……

废人广播记
因为本来因为某人有点忧郁本来想特地重搬旧方法播一些歌给她听可是该死的点对点广播不知为何不work，那算了，搞一搞也要耗上半个多小时的时间，TMD。于是就退而求次使用直接broadcast咯，只是bitrate太大她收不稳，太小不好听，后来拉拉扯扯之下变成了最低的32kbps了，呵呵呵。
后来的后来，就无聊到想顺便播给某大论坛的会员听，反正最近广播风很强烈（我早早就开始玩了，只是没试过人声on air）。接果没有想到并不如想象中顺利，因为有人投诉音质很差（因为玩惯128kbps的广播，没几何试32kbps的，呵呵呵）。后来问题一波接一波，不过也还好得到一些朋友的帮忙，谢谢了。本来开始也是不想说话的，只是大家一直起哄，逼于无奈下，曾给人说我说话有刺的我终于鼓起勇气on-air了，呵呵呵。接果越说越过瘾，不过也越说越词穷，呵呵呵。
后来剩下的听众都是比较认识的朋友，就开始更毫无忌惮的乱talk，呵呵呵。不过还好啦，至少也学过很好玩的东西啦，反正现实生活也没几何有机会开麦乱talk的。很高兴到了后期得到一些朋友的支持，虽然我真的很不pro，呵呵呵，这点我是知道的，不然我直接开麦主持电台节目不就的了？呵呵呵，下次有机会把过程录下来然后当podcasting这样散播出去应该会很好玩，有机会的啦。

我好了！
终于痊愈了，呵呵呵，大概是吧，至少比之前好过了许多。其间要感谢关心我的人（寥寥可数，可悲啊）。其中一位就是其貌不扬（唔，不能这样说她），应该是美若天仙，沉鱼落雁，倾国倾城，肥环燕瘦，啊，不是不是，总之意思到了就好了。哎呀，忘了介绍人家，她就是刚认识不久的Emily小姐，今年大小弟一年，明年仍然大小弟一年，依此类推。最近Emily小姐很爱演仔仔（忧郁……），如果想做做善事的话，可以上她的blog帮她打气，人家人在异乡是特别需要鼓励滴。在此郑重感谢她在忧郁中也能够发挥她超群的爱心安慰我这个小弟弟，谢谢啦。
不过病好了也是时候公布一下我的网站将在近日暂时关闭几天以便进行搬迁的工作（这要感谢Knight先生，他的blog在此）。漫漫长假，但是我不见得空闲很多，除了要应付一大堆功课和assignments，我还要继续之前搁下的i乐榜的进度。预料本周可以真的安装上虚拟形象的功能了，加油！

三个月大了
如果进研究所是某一种重生的意味，那我现在三个月大了，只是三个月大的巨婴竟然可以在电脑前打文章整个画面很不协调……三个月啦，而且刚好落在新年期间，整个感觉说真的有点微妙这样（最好是有微妙到，明明只只是句子开了个头不知道怎么接下去）。三个月过去了，换个角度我大概应该完成四份一的工作，其实也并没有，不过总算对学术文章里面的一些字眼没有当初的那么焦虑了（也只是从焦虑变成无可奈何的略过，一整个很过分）。

请允许我深深地鞠躬
首先，我要对所有的出席者说声抱歉，因为1027当晚的slide由于是仓促间赶出来的，所以做得不尽完美，至少是过不了自己的那关的。可是奈何于还是得交差，还是得拿出来接受大家的审判，来吧！！！如果你发觉好像只有几个人的照片在，这是因为一来是我真的是last minute的关系，二来，是因为google真的这几天不知道在干嘛慢到一个极点，而我的所有资料都在那个gmail里面，所以真的有一点欲哭无泪的感觉，唉～另外，要对所有的筹委说声对不起，因为真的因为自己私事颇忙的关系所以拖到今天才做slide，也因此成为最迟到的筹委，再深深地一鞠躬。好啦，这次我没办法很详尽地记录所有发生的事情（感觉上很多人在欢呼了，死仔包终于不用长篇大论了）。

2016的思考題——上街篇
這幾個月，甚至今年發生了很多事。有些跟我有關，但大部分都是隔岸觀火。這幾個星期陸續很零散在社交網站跟朋友討論，我想過了這些時日也是時候稍微組織一下。只是最近人莫名很疲累，所以接下來的文字就好像永遠揉不成一塊的粉團。

在陽光下一起揮灑汗水吧
前幾天又應了朋友邀約前去做了半天的義工，是說我也開始沒有想要去數前前後後幫了她多少次。相較去年搞到去馬來亞大學那麼大陣仗，這次他們大概是學乖了回到小場地舉辦。要說不同之處嘛，大概應該是我老友這次似乎沒有太多參與籌辦。沒有參與的主要原因是，她本人整個就是很逍遙快活飛到了台灣打工度假去了。是說如果她本人有看到這篇，麻煩不要忘記我的生日禮物，和明信片（喂！）。
