上次不是说要重新安装Windows的吗,结果这几个星期一直给人(我们互相怂恿……)怂恿我再来安装Linux。于是……我动摇了,这几个星期也在开始筹备安装的准备工作。我的朋友目前最新的计划是……安装Linux来玩Virtualization(应该是通过VMware),因为我们开发软件还是比较Windows Based的。后来他也在考虑着用WinE来跑.NET Framework 2.0。我就应该是采用Dual Boot的方式,要写功课软件就跑Windows,做其他事情就跑Linux(应该是Ubuntu)。

故事片名叫地球停止转动的那一天The Day the Earth Stood Still,可是电影完全不是在说这一码事,我可以要求refund吗?如果少了Keanu Reeves和Jennifer Connelly恐怕这部电影要成为一部B级的特技灾难片了。其实会看这部电影主要原因是我想看Keanu Reeves,可是后来看到Jennifer Conelly的时候整个人就是有一种賺到的感觉,当然这种感觉维持的时间不长。
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.
今天又去諮商了(替荷包君哭哭),這次是感覺第一次很真實打到痛點。之前兩次的諮商,雖然某程度感覺很隔靴搔癢,但仔細想想如果沒有前兩次的鋪陳,或許今天不一定會那麽impactful(是的我找不到字)。説實在,在離開會談室,我有很長一段時間都在晃神狀態中。腦裏的思緒,打轉的都是以前經驗的一些片段。只是沒想到,自己極力避免的,終究還是切切實實發生了就是。
