生活裡其實真的沒有什麼是不可質疑的,不然的話真理越辯越明這句話就是個屁。真實的事情,跟一個人的想法不一樣,不會說過了一陣子經過時代的蹂躪就會更改。就正如你不會聽到天氣新聞報導會說,哦,今天太陽公公該是心情不好所以變成方型惹,隨便出門會曬死你喔。可是人的想法是會隨著時代的變遷而更改的,這是一個人心智成熟的過程。今天你可能覺得皮鞭蠟燭很變態,明天可能會瘋狂鞭人也說不定(咦?)。
今天是國慶日(其實寫這篇文章的時候還有一天才是,但考慮到今天才會發出來,所以……),所以今天來說說我們的國土好了。前些天我有約略跟朋友小白說過,長這麼大我沒看過大型的盂蘭盆節盛會。後來貼心的他,就趁着自己工作地方有在辦抓了我去吃最後一天的晚宴。所以一直到那個晚上,我才第一次見識到原來其實也跟其他華人辦的晚宴差也不多就是。說起來我的第一次,就這樣沒了,實在是難以面對鄉親父老姨媽姑姐啦。
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.
不管啦,总之上星期六是小弟第一次参与用工作坊这个形式包装的活动。基本上这类活动其实听闻已久,但是参与到还是第一次。只可惜这地方没有提供无线上网无法即时update网站,算是一点点小小遗憾吧。无论如何,这次的工作坊(其实是pack了几段的talks,各耗时大概三十分钟)包含了几个主题,计有——部落格在独立媒体的角色,新手部落,赚钱秘籍和梦想。简单的活动报告小弟已经post上官网,在这里我想注重的,是我个人的感想(每次都要另外声明真的有点累)。
本地的中文BLOGOSHERE很热闹吧,算是……原因是有一位“著名”的blogger(就算不是,也算wannabe了),在六个月的时间内总共被crack了68次。除了太过红的结论外,我不知道还有什么特别的结论了。说是他写的东西太尖锐?不见得,至少我有几位朋友说话刻薄到可以在对象前面直接说出来,酱他们是不是早就被人家阉割掉了呢?咯。还好经过几次cracking后胡叔叔也不是盖的(是开的),每天都很勤劳地风雨同路不改地backup数据。(最近几次……1,2)
