Mar. 13th, 2002 01:32 pmI'm really tired from school, so I'm going to take a nap now.
I will return near 6pm.

Mar. 11th, 2002 09:12 pmArgh. My computer just spontanously rebooted, taking out my entire long journal entry I was writing. So what is below is a summarized version of the daily summary I was writing.
Woke up late this morning, 6.35am. I had to leave by 6.45am, so it was a mad rush. Just dress, brush teeth, drink a glass of water and go. But it's a Monday, and I don't normally go on a Monday. Alas, this week is TechWeek. The scourge of TechBC students. Luckily Transit was working in my favour today, I hardly had to wait for any changes between busses and skytrain, so that worked out well. I had to be at school early to give a debate for Process Elements. Why can't any other members of my team at least have some public speaking experience?? I was really really tired when I got to school, so temporarily gave up on my zero caffinne state (none all weekend), and ate a few white-chocolate coated coffee beans. Those got me going in a hurry.
After my presentation, i sat in class and evaluated other groups while working on my laptop. After that, I filmed a bit more for HTTC, and met CrazyDave for lunch, and showed him TechBC.
I thought I had a programming test at 1.30pm, but it was at 1pm actually, so I got there 15 minutes late. Despite that, and writing the program twice, with all sorts of fancy comments, I was teh first person finished. It took only in 20 minutes. I got 100%, and was the first to leave. Seriously, that class is a joke.
I'm really sleepy tonight, I think from lack of sleep revealed by not having caffinne.

Mar. 9th, 2002 10:19 pmI walk out of my computer room. Hmm Why is that computer so quiet? *looks behind it*. The fan failed on the power supply, and the system was running really hot. I shut it down, started to take it apart, stopped for dinner (Roast Chicken), opened up the power supply. Hurmph. 'Hazardous' and 'No user serviceable components inside'. Whatever. I'm a user, and I can fix these things. Loads of dust in there. Vacumn them up, and the vacumn cleaner starts to choke *ghhhg*. Re-greased the fan, put it back together properly, put it in to test it. And then it shocks me. AFTER I have dealt with the high-voltage components. Bah!

I am Sephiroth; I was the strongest soldier in the Shinra army. I was a pretty good guy, and even destroyed the occasional monster. Eventually, I found out I was made in a lab, and went crazy. I then summoned a huge meteor to crush the planet!(no subject)

Calming and childlike, and yet outgoing all the same, while you seem like just another person, you have an almost ethereal quality about you. Unfortunately, despite all your good qualities, you are so hidden in the background it's almost depressing. |

Mar. 7th, 2002 10:00 pmHad lunch with Marissa (Subway foot long sub, and I treated her as well), then went to my NMI class. Our video turned out quite nicely.
Both of my NMI team members and Marissa took SkyTrain with me, and we slowly parted ways. Thomas and some guy on the train discussed the TV show, FarScape for a bit. I agree, it is a neat show.
At MetroTown, wandered through the dollar store with Marissa for a bit, but she didn't find what she was looking for. I loaned her some extra small change to buy the addfare for the bus up to SFU for her English class.
Then I went to look for her birthday gift, since her birthday is on the Ides of March. I was told previously what I was looking for cost $20, but I found it ranging from $30 to $40, so I'm going to see about getting something like it at Home Depot instead, since that should be cheaper.
Walked over to Royal Oak to meet up with my family, went for all you can eat Sushi. Had well more than my $20 of sushi and food. Nice oranges afterwards too.
Just got home now. My legs are really sore for some reason, like I've been walking a huge distance.
For my caffinne consumption today, I had one mug of earl grey tea this morning, two chocolate bars this afternoon, and half a cup of green tea with my sushi. Tommorow I will have less.

Mar. 7th, 2002 11:48 amI woke up a bit late this morning, so I just skipped breakfast to make up my time. Only had 1 mug of tea, no coffee today. I want to try and avoid caffinne totally, just to see what effect it has on me. So that means no coffee, hot chocolate, tea or caffinated pop. I might make a few exceptions with hot chocolate tho, to warm me up.
Math class was the standard this morning, applications of derivitives today. Since then, I've worked on my HTTC project some, getting it into true 3D in VRML on the FakeSpace. It still needs work, but it is doing really well so far.
My NMI project is also doing really well, I'll post up the movie on my site somewhere, for people to see. Thomas did an excellent job on it, since I don't know much about video editing, he did that part of the work.
I'm going to have lunch with Marissa in a bit, and then I will finish my Java assignment, I think I have tweaked it enough to beat enough other people (like everybody 8-).

Mar. 6th, 2002 12:14 pmI am really really friggin cold today. I dunno why. I did manage to catch some more sleep last night. Around 7 hours of it. I'm exploring compiling my linux kernel in different ways today. I have nearly everything as a module, with the full intent to use initrd to deal with it.
Still working on homework as well. I have 2 pages to do for BGE, due midnight tonight, I should study a bit for the math quiz tommorow morning, and I need to start of my final projects for HTTC, BGE and PE.

Mar. 5th, 2002 10:26 pmIn reading Sleep Thieves more, I certainly see things that reflect my current state of mental affairs there. I get 4-5 hours of sleep on Monday and Wednesday nights, and 6-7 other nights, doing all the homework I do, and trying to keep up with my normal activities as well. I have generally been managing quite fine but today was the worst dragging on it has been in a long time. Song: "A-Ha - Minor Earth - Major Sky\10 - Barely Hanging On".
I think it may have something to do with the fact that I have drastically reduced my caffinne intake, but I only decided to do that because it was having no effect at all on me anymore. Song: "Ace Of Base - Beautiful Live".
Yes, definetly some signs from Sleep Thieves are present with me. Delayed mentral processes being first and foremost amongst them. It is good that I am very well versed with the keyboard so that I can carry on typing this even while my eyes drift off to sleep.
Why do I cut down on sleep? I have piles of homework to do. And midterms next week. Generally, I just carry on pushing myself at doing the work, like what I have been doing tonight. I felt that I wanted to go to bed around 6pm, but I just made myself carry on working. Apart from stopping for about half an hour for dinner and reading some livejournals, I have been working near continuously since I got home around 5.30pm. Song: "Bluemchen - Der Beste Von Alles"

Mar. 4th, 2002 05:38 pmOne thing that has worked out over the weekend, was my new server. It's now getting everything nessecary installed on it. I have named it 'Bohr' in keeping with my naming scheme for computers. (Fermi, Tesla, Einstein, Henon, Joule, Newton)
My WinAMP playlist has expanded some. My HDD now has 15gb of MP3, which is 3628 items on my playlist, comprising 251 hours and 45 minutes. w00t! more than 10 days of music!

Mar. 4th, 2002 04:03 pmWhoa. It's like I dropped off the face of the planet for a few days. I didn't feel like posting to LJ at all, I didn't do any homework whatsoever, and I hardly got any email!
A number of events have occured since I last posted. On Friday, I spent the day hacking computer hardware. In the evening, I went out to BEST's 10th aniversy part with Marissa, and then we hung at Tara's apartment for a while, before getting the late bus home. I missed the last bus at Willingdon and Hastings, so I called my parents to pick me up, and they were a little pissed off, but that wasn't too bad.
Saturday I was downtown to do more filming for my NMI project. It's making great progress now. Kudos to Thomas for doing an amazing job in video editing. I'll put up the work in a while for everybody to see.
Sunday, Marissa brought her computer down for me to migrate her existing drive data to a new drive, but that ended up not working properly. We went out around 6.30pm to have dinner with Neil. Made him sit and get hungry before it was a reasonable time for dinner. Yes! I eat my dinner late. 9pm or 10pm is not uncommon for me. We went to Cactus Club @ Metro, I had a Maui chicken. Marissa had a full serving of chicken and beef faijita, and I shared my Mocha ice-cream tart slice with her for dessert. Then we wandered around the Metro, talking a lot. One funny thing, while sitting at the one Metro entrance, a guy with a big bag of Kaiser rolls went by, and Marissa shouts out, "Nice Buns!" Neil has had an interesting history it seems, from attending CDIS to doing plenty of drugs.
This morning, I carted Marissa's computer back up to her dorm, and set it up, and cleaned her room up a little bit while she was out to her Psych class. Had early lunch with her after that, and came home via Lougheed Mall, after stopping at Walmart to buy more Columbian instant coffee.
I've got a headache now, and I'm listening to very basey music. Does that make sense? Nope. Its "Run Lola Run - OST\01 - Franka Potente - Believe". Go figure.

Feb. 27th, 2002 10:30 pmI had my macaroni now. Microwaving it more solved the frozen problem.
