重新投入了職場,而且形態還跟過去有巨大差異。說實在,今年的總結就是這樣。由於大半時間(算起來真的有快半年)都是在限行中度日,儘管我的工作本來就不需要踏出家門,但連健身房都不能去難免有點鬱卒(儘管槓鈴舉到厭世)。現在疫苗也打了,加強劑大概也快輪到我了,我想我們大概又從病毒那邊偷來了一點時間吧。
(more…)昨天是紀念佛陀悟道之日,可我國卻屢次淪陷與各種人爲災禍的水深火熱之中。前面傲慢失言風波未平,後面疫苗註冊網站再出問題,再來傍晚又一記重錘——單日確診人數再創新高。連本來想趁熱鬧看個血月蝕,天空還不作美下了場雨,用灰濛濛的天似乎在嘲弄凡人如我等的作繭自縛。
(more…)其實這幾年都是這個狀態吧,呵呵。我昨天想了一陣子,說實在有點不想寫這篇文。去年的這天,我整個人因為限行令困在家悶得慌,今年則是剛剛脫離年頭再度實施的限行令。不過好在現在一切都在軌道上,不如去年的脫序,這樣也算是一種好事吧。
(more…)本來應該是去年玩完的,但SquareEnix家的優化真的太差了。為了不想講究降低畫質,我是在最近很暴力地升級電腦才把去年中買的XV玩完。至於同期買的XIII,可能是也比較舊的關係,所以雖然優化很糟但至少勉強運行沒什麼問題。可是都把主線任務都走完一遍後,卻一樣頗覺遺憾(和各種摸不著頭腦)。
(more…)最近因為工作各種等待回復,加上又各種關在家,所以知悉異樣Diversity有活動就手刀跑去報名了。這三個工作坊會在除了農曆新年的那星期外每周六進行,在一月三十日那天則是第一次。該期工作坊的主題是LGBT群體的前世今生歷史與現況。
既然電影也寫過了,這些年因為入手Nintendo Switch的關係玩了不少遊戲,也該寫寫一些遊戲玩後感。這次就先說說丟入了快兩百五十小時進去的,兩代的異域神劍(或異度之刃,Xenoblade Chronicles)這樣。雖然操作和體驗沒有《塞爾達傳說:荒野之息》(Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)這樣震撼,但這系列的獨特之處是故事的深度和轉折吧。
(more…)前几天看了一部电影,其实也不太知道故事是说什么,只是冲着男主角Joseph Gordon-Levitt(Inception和500 Days of Summer)和女主角Anna Kendrick(Up in the Air)就入场了。后来翻wikipedia才发现另一个男主角似乎应该是演青蜂侠的那位Seth Rogen,可是他在这部电影是个小胖的猥亵鬼。这次已经是我第三次看到Gordon-Levitt了,感觉他每次接的电影都有点另类,虽然Inception大收,可是我觉得那是因为Christopher Nolan的缘故(btw电影开场前再度看到了Dark Knight Rises的预告,虽然很期待,但似乎要超越前作不容易)。
不知道为什么最近总是能够接触到一些很感人的故事(其实也不很多,或许最近生活很平静吧),前两天吧看了一部很感人的电影,而今天则看到朋友介绍一则小故事。这位朋友,虽然只有一面之缘,但是总能够在他每次写的文章感受到他细腻的心思。阅读他的文章,往往能够让读者从他的文章延伸出无尽的感想。今天下午,本来是想开电脑播一些音乐听听的,却在我的blog aggregator不小心看到了他的这篇文章,好奇之下,就点了原文来看。原文是三毛小姐的“哑奴”,收录在《哭泣的骆驼》这本应该叫做散文集吧(后来鸡婆去找了找,原来我妈有这本书,准确点来说,应该是我舅舅的藏书,但是前几年他把书送出去的时候,我妈捡了回来,我也捡了一堆卫斯理金庸回来)。
拜MalaysianIdol(简称MI)所赐,最近的歌唱比赛都大吹SMS风,仿佛没有SMS就不算是最“公平”的赛果。(AkademiFantasia好像是本地第一个用SMS桥段的歌唱比赛,不过真正让全民为之疯狂的要算是MI了)如果单纯作为一个Show来看,有这样的安排当然无可厚非,但是我认为如果计票的方式更为公平一些,和更为透明化一些,会更好。在我看来,让观众可以无限次投选是一个很白痴的安排,怎么说呢?如果我看了某场比赛,看到大家都唱得很好,那么我每个都去投的话,那么投票还有什么意思?再不然就是恶意灌水,我很喜欢参赛者A,所以我就SMS到天昏地暗,花了一大笔钱才肯甘休。这样一来,和作弊有什么差别?
相信很多人聽過華盛頓怒砍櫻花樹的故事,如果沒有,且讓筆者為你的童年表示默哀。雖然真實性成迷,但是這流傳至今的小故事卻教育了世世代代的人誠實的偉大。其實故事很簡單,就華盛頓某日收到斧頭做生日禮物(是說這禮物也太歡樂,是要鼓勵跳斧頭幫的舞蹈麼?)。就一天為了測試斧頭多鋒利,就拿了家裡種的一棵櫻桃樹開刀。結果樹倒了,盛怒之下的父親因為兒子的坦白選擇了原諒這樣。聽起來還真是個溫馨的故事呢,或許原諒出自於當時對質時華盛頓拿着那個斧頭吧漫出來的愛和憐惜吧?
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.
