E-learning part 2
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.

e-learning?
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.

时间在工作中过得特别快
最近开始了生命的另一个阶段，或许也是最漫长的一个阶段，就是踏入社会投入忙碌的职场生涯。不知道在这方面我是不是个幸运的人，在实习期间虽然日子是不太快乐，但是每天到时到候我的supervisor都会把我赶走。而在这家公司，我第一天工作就被人在六点钟催促我走人。而且不记得是第二天还是第三天在放工前十分钟我的上司就恫言说六点钟sharp就会落闸锁门了。

寨主号召强奸犯大会
因为人毕竟不是巨人，所以我在想，以前的领袖们是不是为了要制造人家仰视（cue一个双手紧握支撑住下巴流口水的画面）他显现自己是什么神仙下凡的感觉所以很鬼爱站在高处对子民下达什么指令之类（喂，左边的那个谁谁谁，你昨天偷了右边那个谁谁谁的鸡记得今天陪人家）。当然不是什么阿猪阿狗都可以站上去的，而且每个人站上去得到的反应都不一样的，不信你丢个什么Justin Bieber上去看，应该会被众多男生丢上去的物品砸死。

什么时候出门都是个错~
天啊，巴生谷的人民到底要到什么时候才能够摆脱塞车的困扰？难道要等到太阳不再耀眼，雪山开始崩塌，河水不再川流，空气变成毒气，然后石油耗尽，到时候就不用塞车了，因为大家都不能活了。说真的，住在这里，我不说别的地方，就只说Subang Jaya好了，不知道是不是我倒霉，还是真的那么仆街，就真的什么时候出门，都会有塞车的问题。不知道那个无脑的人说过塞车是繁荣的象征，我相信他如果来Subang Jaya亲自驾驶一个星期，不要有人来开路，就算有人来开路，也未必有用，嘿嘿，我肯定他会把所有刊登那句话的报纸杂志，甚至用来浏览过那句话的电脑全部吞进去。

「果」一年
我本人沒什麼看電視，這對很多人來說大概不是什麼新鮮事情了。不過家中二老倒還是有在看港劇的，所以有時候還是不免會看一點。這兩個星期，由於終於就業的關係所以黏在電視機前的機率就更少了。不過這陣子電視上倒是播放了一部看起來挺有趣的港劇，乍一看質感與過去的港劇有所差別。雖然也說不上有追，但是大概的故事倒是還是可以說一說的就是。

站點搬遷啦
說大馬部落重新開張好像也太誇張，畢竟這只是計劃中的第一步。另外要架設的交流站點，其實目前還在規劃中。不過無論如何，經過了快一年，我總算兌現了其中一個承諾。同時間我也把自己近乎所有的站點，都給搬到這個新的伺服器。其實這幾句加起來，也就是本人目前除了幫忙建構，也挪出本身租用空間的其中一部分出來給大馬部落。由於架設環境的轉變，這中間要去學的實在太多，所以每隔一段時期我會把相關的筆記整理出來丟到技術網誌去。
