说到今天的Assignment Presentation,可以说是好坏参半。不说技术上的缺点,先说说我们沟通的失败。技术上的缺点可以透过更多的coding更改,但是大家对于assignment的投入程度,我觉得需要一点检讨。因为这次的presentation,我组内的某成员因为没办法上网而无法时刻跟进我们连续三天疯狂编程的进度,所以在presentation的过程非常不顺利。到我回到家重新检讨,我才发觉和她同组那么多次了,这个现象并不是第一次发生。其是我不能说是谁的错,因为谁是谁非并非由我做主。
后来跟Emily谈了后,我唤起了更多回忆。现说说这次的assignment的事情,我记得,上个星期五,我和另外一个GroupMember相约在library谈assignment比较关键的coding问题。吃完午饭后,我就独自一个人走回lib,中途遇到她,她就问我要去那里,assignment的东西要怎么做。我所肯定记得的是我说我要去lib和另一个group member谈,然后assignment各做各的,之后我来拼起来。如果要说我错,我承认当时并没有明言邀请她跟着来。在今天的presentation后我透过朋友口中知道她在我走后眼泛泪光。但是我要说的是,我当时真的以为,真的expect她会跟着,结果却没有,那么我也当她没问题就自行离去了。
说说算算也不是第一次了,印象中没有多少次我可以找到一个partner可以和我一般了解整个assignment的过程。同组的group member不是完全空白,就是知道一半这样子。印象中也没有多少次有人主动问我整个进度到了什么程度。也就是因为这样,我非常在乎整个流程到底怎样了,慢慢地,变成我自己在主导整个assignment的进度。我不知道这个是不是我自己的感觉,我也希望不是,因为这种感觉让我觉得很不舒服,因为我不是一个自大的人。因为每次当分组的时候,如果我被分到哪一组的话,那组一定会有若干人会高兴?我希望我只是太敏感。如果这样造成大家不过问、不关心进度的话,那么,我下次就不要那么在乎了。要知道,控制整个assignment的流程,然后make sure everybody get informed是不容易的事,唯一一次我相信整组人了解发生什么似的,只有上个学期的其中一份报告(ADIS Report 2)。那次之后,因为讲师的误导,再加上每次都是我去找讲师了解更多详情,造成我知道得越来越多,但是我却没有办法把我知道的传达出去,因为我不可能知道大家的了解程度到多少,大家真正concern的是什么,结果到头来,还是我一个人赶完全部report。
以上种种原因和后果,结果造成我觉得自己越来越自私,但是我刚想(发觉不应该用领悟两个字)到,每次assignment大家的投入程度并不相同,间接造成我很难去distribute我所知道的东西,相信很多人也是如此。在这里,我希望我所有认识的,不认识的,曾经合作的,未曾合作的朋友同学陌生人,给于你的意见。如果你觉得三言两语没办法说得清的话,欢迎trackback,谢谢。
I got so impressed after looking at my friend’s assignment interface. It was simply just tooooooo nice. Therefore, me and my group members agreed to decorate our assignment a bit. Besides that, since we started using MDI, then the whole structure has to be revised.
We have added a navigation menu, so that the bar up there doesn’t look too plain (what an excuse). Then we added in some shortcut button suggested by one of my group members. We have also removed our so-called “logo”, since it was not so nice. And lastly, almost all buttons are now with icons so that user can see them clearly (hehehe).
Our system is usable at the moment as long as u do not key in the wrong thing (like you enter letters when you are asked to enter numeric) because we do not have time to do complete validation. We expect all the validation will be done at the time we submit our assignment though. Below are some of the screenshots taken from my assignment project. You can click on them for better enlarged view.
前天是我们的presentation日,因为第一节和第二节,也就是最后一节,也就是我们的presentation时间,相差了有5个小时,所以我们就“善用”那五个小时的空挡草草准备一份比较能看的powerpoint presentation。
因为相隔的时间太过于冗长,所以过了两三个小时难免会开始想睡。于是,在我们完成了所有的slide后,就出去喝杯茶清醒一下……之后呢,我们就回到工作间(其实是我们其中一个人租的房间),重新审查,并且开始彩排。彩排完毕后,我们就走路回到我们的campus。
戏肉到了……在回到campus后,漫步回课室的期间,一对家长团(开放日)竟然很荣幸看到我们一群人。这群显然是新生的家长们在工作人员的带领下四处参观我们学院的设施。因为他们前进的步伐非常缓慢,所以我们一群人唯有跟在后面慢慢走,反正时间尚早。好死不死,突然间他们竟然停下,在一个可以通往我们其中一个食堂的小路前听着工作人员说该小路可以直通食堂。这个时候,我身边的朋友她竟然很倒米得说了一句:“切,(食堂的食物)很难吃的……”。顿时间,一切事物停格了,我因为太尴尬的关系,所以找了个小路窜了开去,划清界限。哈哈哈,隐约中似乎看到家长们全部看着我的朋友,而解说员也“窒”了一下。
之后,我和其他的朋友连忙快步走想办法抛开家长团,后来总算把他们撇开了,我们才开始讨论刚才发生的窝囊事……后来我们一行四人强烈谴责该乱开炮的女生,因为我们认为就算食堂的东西如此不堪(事实的确如此),也不该这样“诚实”的,因为……新生到了才有得好受,现在学精了只会显示出我们多么无知,因为我们在第一个学期都是在食堂解决我们的饥饿的,哈哈哈哈。
Wahaha, the presentation was just going fine just that our group has missed some feature that is suppose to be ready as mentioned in our proposal. Besides that, our lecturer also required us to prepare some new modules in order to make the system more complete. However, since we havn’t learn anything about MDI yet I think I will just wait until all three of us master that chapter then only we start our second version.
Our group are quite fortunate since there are not much problems occur during our presentation. The group after us keep facing technical problems and this helped the last group because they have another week to prepare for this presentation. However, if I were them I will feel a bit dissapointed. Hohoho.
Just spent half a day finishing the interface for my group’s system – library system. And since we couldnt come out with a name that is interesting, so we just simply name the system as “Up2U Library System”, sounds dumb ho…?
Showing above is the main screen interface for our system. The system is separated into 3 parts with 2 modules each. I am in charge of the administration part of the system. Following is one of the screens for my module.
Look dumb huh… Basically, since MDI is not yet taught by the lecturer and I am really to busy to learn that in advance, so I link all the interfaces with “Unload” and “Load” commands. Therefore there is nothing really special about our system. Probably after learning MDI in the coming weeks then I will convert the whole system to MDI, hehehe.
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.
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.
直到目前为止,我的学生生涯中,很不巧的没有和太多老师有接触。不过其中几个令我印象深刻的,是我的英文老师们。呵呵。可能是因为要鼓励我们说英文吧,我发现英文老师们都很长气的。哇咔咔。
正因为如此,我并不太排斥上英文课,不过也没有为此改进了我的英文能力,呵呵呵。原因是因为在她们说她们的grandmother stories的时候,我总是把注意力投入到另外的地方。当然偶尔也会听听看她说什么,然后过后就拿那些故事来当作同学间的玩笑课题(很坏咧)。就拿我高中的英文老师为例,我们很喜欢上她的课(除非她有给功课,她是个很麻烦的老师……这是后话),尤其是她讲解文学(Literature)的那几课。她简直是做编剧的材料,因为从文学课的课文她可以扯到她的家人的故事。还要全部都是悲剧。不过先搞清楚,在当时我们是很同情她的遭遇的,只不过在她越说越多,而且越来越匪夷所思的时候,我们只好选择听过就算了。还有一点很特别的就是每当上文学课的时候,我们一大班都依她的要求全部集中在班内的中心点,然后好像小学生般围着她上课。呵呵呵。
想不到,上了学院,还是有类似的老师/讲师。为了引起我们对学习的兴趣,今天,我们一大班人在她的要求下全部到了图书馆的视听室观赏了一部又澳洲某机构看来是N年前录制的教育节目。节目是关于怎么做一个research的,呵呵呵。可惜,有一大半时间我都在猜测影片中人所说的字词(因为澳洲人的口音和我们平时听的英文不太一样再加上小弟的英文也不大好),只能大概知道内容罢了。不过总好过没有吧,之后,在我们眼里有些讨厌的Lecturer就三言两语帮我们重新整理刚才所看到的内容。
上了她三堂课,她给我们的印象是凡是都按照规矩进行,甚至被规矩所局限。你有听过一组人做assignment要签合约的吗?而且还要花一整个小时来解说简单的10条规矩(原因之一是因为她说话的速度,如果你看过The Matrix,她的速度就有如里面的所谓Program的速度,就是Oracle/Architect那一伙人的速度)。真服了她哦,而且看她不苟言笑的样子,很难想象如同猴子出闸的我们如何继续顶下去。
不过还好,这个学期还是有和我们类似的Tutor(助教吗?)教我们Windows Programming(VB),他真的很好笑哦,一整课都在强调自己有多么帅气,虽然我们没有一个有同感。很不巧的,第一课我就被他摆了上台,以达到活学活用的精神。他当时所要讲解的是Objects, Properties & Event在VB中的意思,所以把我搞出去后,指着我把我比喻成一个Object,之后我的身高体重等就是Properties。然后不知道他怎么扯的问我有没有洗鞋子(运动鞋),诚实如我当然很老实的说没有(因为银色的鞋子变成了黑灰色。然后他很做作的“弹开”,但是却说我其中一个”properties”是“鞋很干净”……最后到了event,当然,是说当某事件发生了,会有什么后果。他拍了拍我肩膀,并说“当我拍他的肩膀,他会说I Love You!”。好了,第一次就很应酬的照做。第二次又来,这次是I Love Mr. xx(他)。我开始Fed Up了,就直接说,I don’t Love Mr. XX(他),呵呵呵。
他真的很有趣啦,而且很了解我们学生的心声,所以他也没有cover太多Theory的东西,因为他知道我们会从讲师的课内知道,所以并没有花太多时间在内。反倒是Practical Part就花比较多的时间,因为班内很多人很明显Practical跟不上。如果这样的Tutor/Lecturer再多几个就好了,呵呵呵。
今天因为还在赶Assignment的关系一行四人到其中一位成员的家完成我们的 Assignment(可是Somehow变成了我的One Man Show,这是后话,待会再谈)。结果刚踏入门口就看到一位女生满身伤,看起来很哀伤的样子。虽然我是很好奇,可是因为素不相识,所以还是不便开口向问。后来透过朋友的查探,才知道她在学院附近被打劫。真是TMD,光天化日之下,这种社会垃圾竟然公然行抢。
其实今天是有很多不满要申诉的,第一个当然是那个抢劫案。接下来就是本少爷非常不爽人家公然恶意地对我骂粗口。他以为他是什么人,竟然口出狂言,如果不是当时本少爷正在忙加上距离遥远,恐怕我的一巴掌随之送上。
话说昨天,小弟因为自己第四稿的Proposal被讲师退稿,不过还好有了比较明确的线索,所以用尽精神在一小时内重新绘制一张。在这种十万火急的情况,再加上我是在讲堂,大家都很安静(就算是谈天,我们十个人也不会吵得太离谱),我也很平静地画。谁不知,这个时候,这个王八蛋突然间对着他的 GroupMember大声咆哮(原谅我用这词儿,但是我真的找不出更适当的词句来形容他的音量)。我只是很给脸地嘘声示意他降低音量,谁不知他竟然 “FUCK YOU!!!”,他奶奶的,他以为自己是什么新鲜萝卜皮。
本来自己忙昏了头没有记住这件事的(因为实在太琐碎了,这种记忆实在不配留在记忆中),可是今天我听到了令我更加火滚的消息。我从自己成员的口中听说这个人很大声(换句话说,是自大,可以参考我之前的自大论)地对他自己的成员说我们的Group做了那么多东西却头头碰着黑。我们差关他什么事,要他管!!!
就是这样多,可能最近因为睡眠时间变少的缘故,所以人也比较暴躁(荷尔蒙失调呵,呵呵呵),这样小事都能气这么久,实在太不值得了
因为旧站的程序我没时间更新,所以迫于无奈下只好暂时关站,没想到竟然有几个王八蛋在我的地盘撒野灌水。为了遏制这类事件继续发生,我唯有把留言版的留言功能关闭。如果大家继续看到我的旧Blog有这类事情发生,可以留言通知我。
唉,人就是那么的无聊,也不懂为什么。最近小弟忙到就来连阿妈都不认得,除了麻鬼烦的Case Study,还有很多测验将会在接下来几个星期接踵而来(详情可以参考之前的英文Blog)。天啊,我可以说这是第一次我感觉到时间那么不够用。呵呵呵。
前几天第一次Post上第一个英文的Blog post,昨天(截稿时已过半夜12点)晚餐朋友向我提起这件事。因为那则Blog内有附上一个超连接是把之前F4的电影观后感翻译成英文的,结果引发不少笑料(不过小弟是无辜的,我没时间去查看啦)。结果我写了两个字的英文直接翻译,然后两者合起来就成了笑料。那两个字就是,Spice(香料), Girls(女孩/姑娘们),结果结合起来应该是Spice Girls(辣妹),可是却变成“香料姑娘”。呵呵呵,可能目前的科技发展还无法完善地把某字和context相互配合翻译所以类似上述的笑料其实很容易发生,呵呵。
嗯,除此之外,可能有人会问我,为什么这个Blog变成半番唐的Blog?这是因为我有一些朋友自小说英文,完全不晓得中文(不过就算会中文大概也接受不了我的语法吧)。所以,为了扩大读者群,没有啦,只是身旁的Blogger全部都是英文Based的,所以为了顺应潮流,我就也Post上一些英文版的Blog咯。不过呢,嗯,因为小弟的英文程度有点抱歉,所以如果有污大家的眼睛,可以尝试去看医生,因为吹沙入眼可大可小。
最后送上一个朋友送上的冷笑话一则,某日上课老师问大家的志愿是什么,当然,小朋友们都争先恐后地抢答。
男生甲:“I like to fight, therefore I want to become a fightER!”
女生丙:“I like to write, I want to become a writER~”
到小明了,他很骄傲地说:“I like to draw, I want to become a drawER~”
前陣子才跟朋友聊起,我好像把過去兩年混在一起算成一年。説實在,若不是去年才加入新公司,不然我繼續錯下去大概也不會察覺有什麽不對。2020跟2021的確是近代人類史上頗爲慘淡的兩年(當然今年對活在戰火下的烏克蘭人也很辛苦就是),慘淡到也沒什麽好提起的。説起這該死的瘟疫,生活在日本的老闆前陣子才打趣說,這時候要遇到還沒確診的人似乎越來越難了。
(more…)因为担心自己对着每个同学都要说不同的方言搞到自己精神错乱紧张,所以我上个星期下了决心这个星期一定要对全部人一律说华语(我们系目前只有12个人)。很恐怖吧,去年就不存在这个问题,因为我那个tutorial group几乎全部都可以说粤语所以所有的讨论都是以粤语进行。唯独是其中一个因为听得懂但说得不很好的我们用华语对话,所以问题并不大.。
他奶奶的,同样的东西竟然要我重复三四次,本来心情甚美的我一下子跌落谷底。
是这样的,因为我表弟屡次投诉很多程序装不下,所以我建议他重灌系统。好了,因为不想浪费时间做在那边教他我就把一些方法告诉了他。之后安装后的东西我再想办法和他联络。之后联络的过程很不顺利,由于我们俩都在硬体防火墙后面,所以用不上一些简单的远程控制程序。高了接近两小时后,我妥协了,叫他自己安装MSN Messenger,虽不致这么简单的程序他竟然摸了整个小时还没摸到如何使用。恰巧自己也不使用官方的client,无奈之下只好要他找表妹恶补。
好了,耗了大半天,终于能通讯上了,于是我用文字很仔细把步骤列出来,要他跟着步骤走,因为不是第一次,所以有了这么多经验我并不担心他跟不上。谁不知,他真的跟不上,同样的instruction于是重复了三四次。他奶奶的,就这样我没有了一整天的时间。晕倒啊,现在的我真的一寸光阴一寸金啊!!!而且,今天也爆了我的纪录,当然我是那种不说粗口的人(可是我写),但是今天打出来的粗口我想是我之前所写过的粗口数量总和。我气到简直是到达那种每一句话都夹杂着粗口透过msn这样传送到他那边去。天啊,保佑我不要再见到这种人。
I was extremely angry just now because my cousin made me repeated the same instruction for 3-4 times. Because of his sistem not performing well lately, therefore I recommended him to reformat the system and switch to a newer OS. Since I am quite busy these days, therefore I just gave him some instruction on how to start the installation. After that, I went back home.
After he managed to installed the whole OS, then we faced difficulties in contacting each other using netmeeting and remote controlling program. I didn’t know much about that problem but I think the router we installed are causing the problems (both of us are using a router). Then we settled the problem by switching to MSN, but then he couldn’t figure out how to use that s/w. Since I stopped using MSN official client for quite a long time, therefore I asked him to seek advice from my cousin. OK, after around half an hour he was finally able to communicate via MSN network, but then telling him to do one thing caused me to repeat the SAME instruction for 3-4 times. And I get extremely annoyed and started sending very rude word thru MSN to him. hehe…. I really hope that I do not have to deal with this kind of ppl anymore…
这次大概是我印象中第一次看前汤嫂演戏,一来就是这种很俗气的大片——Australia。说是大片其实主线故事应该是在于两位主角暧昧的感情戏吧。由于之前完全不知道电影是要讲述什么故事,所以在片头交代一些当时澳洲的社会现象和被盗窃的一代(还是用The Stolen Generation好了)的背景资料我就以为是一部讲述这一代的孩子是怎么怎么的故事。可是看到片尾看到字幕又出来说他们的总统在去年发表道歉声明的时候我真的很想骂一句很难听的话,这根本就是一部拿这一代人来消遣的电影。
本应该在上星期四就写的笔记在我一拖再拖的情况下直到现在才能够写上来,原因是因为我很够懒……
其实我是很好奇导演到底除了拿督杨紫琼的戏份外,还删了什么情节。乍一看剪接的确是很精彩,可是事后回想却似乎少了什么。最大的缺陷,就是霍元甲如何学的一生好功夫,我就不信他是通过拍桌子就学成霍家拳的。再说,如果他的武艺是老豆传授的,那么为什么他并没有告诉霍元甲和赵家比武的“内幕”?还有,从影片看来,霍元甲的父亲应该是风度翩翩的人物,为什么自己的儿子一点都不像,反而像一个白痴四处挑衅别人。
