The final version of Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer 7 is now out. It is available for Windows XP SP 2, Windows 2003 32-bit, Windows 2003/XP 64-bit and Windows 2003 ia64. Windows XP SP 1 users, I think you need to upgrade to SP 2 before you can install IE7.

Singapore Future MRT/LRT Map
Posted By Lester Chan at 15:30 in Blog

If you know this already, ignore this post.

Singapore Future MRT/LRT Map

It is a very good news for me when I saw the map. Did anyone notice that NE2 Station is missing from the North East Line? NE1 Station is Harbour Front, NE3 is Outram. Where is NE2?

Apparently from the map, it is stated that NE2 is Kampong Bahru (station name is still pending) and Kampong Bahru is just behind my house. Woot, means I got a train home next time, instead of transiting from MRT to bus at Tiong Bahru or Harbour Front.

Suck In Programming
Posted By Lester Chan at 23:16 in Blog

I maybe good in web programming, but when comes to Java/C/C++/VB etc, thinking of the algorithms makes me feel so helpless and make wonder why the heck I go study, I should go out work as web programmer.

But when I managed to solve the algorithm, that thought just disappears.

By the way, NUS Course Marker sucks.

VivoCity is Singapores largest retail, leisure and entertainment destination. It is just located beside Harbour Front

It immerses you in its blend of activities , new retail concepts, multi-anchor tenants and an evolving retail environment. And it stimulates your senses, allowing you to craft your own “Vivo” experiences.

The name “VivoCity”, which is derived from the word “vivacity”, evokes a lifestyle experience that is modern, stimulating and accessible to everyone, a place bubbling with energy and flowing with vitality. It feels alive.

The VivoCity identity is inspired by a sense of natural energy and flow. Its organic and dynamic nature expresses the stimulating experience, reflects the energy in the name and complements the architectural vision.

Programming Written Exams Are WTF
Posted By Lester Chan at 23:20 in Blog

Been so busy with school and nothing else but school, endless tutorials, lab exercises, quiz, test one after the other. Almost no breathing space at all.

But anyway, back to my blog topic, was doing my revision on CS1102, Data Structures and Algorithm, come across this question:

Assume we have a list of the integers 1 to n, where n is even. I take the items off one by one and enqueue the items at position 1,3,5,7, ¦ n-1 in the list into a queue qodd, and push the items at position 2,4,6,8 ¦ n into a stack seven. I dequeue all of the queues qodd items one by one, pushing each item onto a stack sodd. I then pop all of stack seven, one by one, enqueuing each of its items into a queue qeven. Finally, I gather all of them items back into one list, first by dequeuing an item from qeven, then popping an item from sodd. I continue alternating these paired operations of dequeue and pop until both qeven and sodd are empty.

After reading it, I was like WTF, this is not exactly testing your algorithm but testing the level of confusion you can absorb. Retarded question, and further more this is a MCQ, if it is structured it is not that bad at least got more marks for it.

I like programming, but I hate the written part of it.

Google vs Women
Posted By Lester Chan at 19:15 in Blog

Came out with this phrase while I am doing my Java. I need to find my pencil case but my ah dear tell me where is it before I can even say it out.

Lester Says “Women are just like Google, except that they search for things in the house and say the results out”.

O2 Atom Exec
Posted By Lester Chan at 10:55 in Blog

Been super busy for the the past weeks since my school started. University is unlike Polytechnic, tutorials need to do, break time need to revise through, weekends need to do lab exercises and tutorials. Lab exercises is graded that is why we need to do, tutorials if you do not do, towards the end of the semester, you will have difficulty revising through, especially Maths and Discrete Structures. So all this means you got no life. =)

Upgraded my M1 Line and thus, changed my Sony Ericsson K750i to O2 Atom Exec. Sent my K750i for the last service and firmware upgrade before my warranty expires in September 2006. Will be passing my phone on to LiXiang whose Samsung X460 is really very basic.
