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。
事先声明,这篇文章会有爆多图片,也是笔者第一次在国外写文章。说到笔者目前的状况可真堪称凄凉……在这个凌晨时分还在麦当劳跟周公周旋着努力不让自己入睡。其实不是在这个时候没有地方睡,只是不太方便回去睡,不过这留待后面再叙。说到这个培训课程,其实一切都是在匆匆忙忙中安排的,从renew passwordpassport再风尘仆仆仆着去买车票,到赶去买一对noise cancelling的earphone一切都只不过是两三天内发生的事情。
今天是乖乖仔日,所以死仔包我就不免俗地装一天好孩子带了老妈子到电影院看电影。事实上前几天小弟已经处心积虑在book票仆个好位奈何中间的位置已经sold out,让小弟暗锤到一个极点。如同目前的政局一样,今天去拿票的时候发生了超级戏剧化的事情。原来我星期五book了超级乌龙票,本来要看星期天12.30场结果变了星期六的12.30场。结果无奈之下买了前面第二排的票,可是进场的时候,仍然还增添一个更刺激的变数……
这是我第二次打这一篇文章,第一篇文章随着browser crash然后wordpress没有帮我save到的关系完蛋了。好了,我要重新写这篇东西。基本上在凌晨时分他们在电台讨论的同时,我们几个比较相熟的bloggers也在大气电波外的网络同步谈论着,而引起最大回响的,要算是康仔说的08部落年。部落这个词事实上不是我会用的词,不过为了配合大馬部落的征文活动,我在这里可能会不自觉用上这个词儿来代替我一向惯用的网志。
Sometimes things makes me wonder why am I taking this “Computer Science” course where it is actually a course to teach you how to write programs. I actually expected something like how computer works in detail not programming in DEF language that is popular in demand in local business market. These few days some incidents or I shall say an article makes me think again whether my decision to take this course is a good decision. The article was recommended by my lecturer who lectures us in a subject/unit named “Internet Programming” which should be renamed as “Writting ASP.NET Websites With C#”. Although I find the unit not as interesting as I expected (because most of the things covered in the syllabus are covered again and again in some other subjects/units I took in previous semesters. It is still an interesting subject anyway, considering we have a better image of the .NET framework.)
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.
