As we know, Vista was originally scheduled for 2003 but slipped over five years for various reasons. Vista is a much-improved OS, but the long delay has cost Microsoft, which is already looking ahead to Fiji and Vienna.
We had a DMMT gathering yesterday at Marina's Sakae Sushi, organised by Charlene. Among those who turned up were Charlene, Stacey, Zhi Wei, Laily, Suqin, Li Xiang and me. By chance we also spotted Zhi Fan and his girlfriend.
My 2006/2007 Semester 1 results: B+ in Data Structures and Algorithms, B in Computer Organisation, D+ in Discrete Structures, B- in English for Academic Purposes and B in Introductory Mathematics. My CAP is 3.18. Disappointed CS1102 only got a B+.
Wishing all visitors to my site a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you got what you wanted; what I want isn't available yet, maybe by Christmas 2008. Tonight I'm having steamboat with family.
Li Xiang bought a new computer today from Fuwell in Sim Lim Square. The specs include an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, an MSI P965 Neo-F board, 1GB of Twinmos DDR2 and a PowerColor X1950 Pro 512MB.
I caught Flag of Our Fathers last week, a touching and rather gory film, decent overall. It plays more like a documentary than an action war movie. It was also the first time I learned about war bonds.
While searching for XHTML 1.1 DOCTYPEs, I came across Wikipedia's article on XHTML 2.0, and after reading it I can't wait. The features look great, including the ability for any element to act as a hyperlink, much like XLink.
Look at what this guy can do with Microsoft Paint; he's genuinely good. It's astonishing how much detail and artistry someone can wring out of such a basic, much-maligned tool that most of us only ever use for quick scribbles.
I caught Deja Vu today and it's a good film. My eyes were glued to the huge screen throughout. The technology they use to trace the criminal is uber leet; whoever invents it could outdo Bill Gates.
Monday 7pm marked the end of my exams, it's time to relax, update my plugins and, if I have time, HTMLise my new layout. I've also installed Windows Vista; the GUI is great, but it runs slower than XP.
