有没有想过如果名字这个概念从来没出现过的话,这个世界会变成什么模样?我很好奇有没有人名字是阿猪阿猫阿狗然后宁愿自己没有名字而都不要这样的名字。又或者一些名人为了不要太受瞩目而宁愿自己没有名字,例如早前很不幸在新加坡声明大噪的那位女生(宁愿自己没有名字纯属假设)。又或者一些觉得自己一事无成,而自卑到宁愿自己的名字从来不存在。如果真的有这样的人存在,我想一个没有名字概念的世界应该很适合他们。
上个星期,不知道为什么头壳坏掉跑去答应了紫雨去弄一个卖电子书的网站。起初我是觉得很容易,因为他分析下来所要求的东西都是很简单的,但是一天一天过去了,我却找不到一个能够让我自己满意的script来完成他简单的要求。经过几天日夜颠倒的生活后,我在前几天开始打算要放弃了。是的,我很感谢紫雨那么看得起我,但是能力这东西不是说你要怎样就怎样,毕竟ecommerce对我来说可以说是一个外星的领域。最重要的是,本来应该开始轻松的假期,我竟然过的很stress,就好像在赶Assignment一样。
从WTJ那边得知接下来的星期三会有一场blogger的讲座会,根据一些消息指出,这个讲座将会由本地著名的blogger主讲(Jeff Ooi,Jeremiah Foo和郑立慷)。据我猜测,因为主办当局和主讲人都是专注于时事评论的,所以谈论的也应该大概是blogger的社会责任还是什么的。
前陣子,華人傳統的禁忌再度謎因化。當然身爲網絡邊緣人的我,總是在其變成凡人談資時才得知。所以爲了進一步弄死這個謎因,我再度搬上來網誌。是啊,一年又快到了,2024轉瞬間,就在我還在驚訝於2023的無爲,就悄然來襲。
(more…)Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.
星期天风和日丽特别适合家庭聚会,所以我随着家人和家父的朋友一起去吃叫化鸡。我们去吃的那个地点叫做Jugra,应该算是个民风纯朴的小乡镇。因为我们比预先设定的时间早到,所以我们先到了某山上去看灯塔。可是无心插柳之下,我们竟然看到有人在玩跳伞。本来还想玩玩Panshooting,但是这次却有点难度,因为速度感并没有很强烈,然后物体相当远,还没等到我聚焦完毕人就飞走了,好啦,我承认自己迟钝。可是上了山不拍点照还真的是很对不起我妈的空调机,可惜我的时间大多数在思考怎么构图(没办法,摄影我还是很弱),所以拍没有很多。
今天除了海角七号我也透过卫星电视看到了另一部算是相当瞩目的片子——集结号。集结号乍一听我还真的是什么军船的故事怎么知道此号非彼号,乃号角的那个号呢。故事其实是讲述一群倒霉鬼是怎么在一个国家的机制下让自己光荣牺牲的战绩失而复得的故事。故事基本分成两个部分,第一个部分是战争的部分,第二个部分是寻找身份的故事。
之前也說過會發所有在構思期間所做的筆記,所以第一章要寫的,就是故事概況。寫這段的時候其實是很快樂的,因為這是整個創作過程裡最無拘無束的時候。由於還沒有架構的關係,所以整個故事的設定是完全空白的。這時候,就可以隨心所欲塑造想要的世界。所以接下來看到的,就會是完全沒有根據的想象。雖然不盡然全部出現在故事裡,但是過程頗有趣。如果你仔細看,有好幾段下面還多了一兩段備註,其實就是過後幾天為了更改之前設定的新點子或補充這樣。
