The NUS university years, from graduation and trips to campus Wi-Fi setups.
Thanks to Li Xiang for the graduation gift she bought me in Hong Kong in April 2010, meet Dahhhh, the rabbit from Raving Rabbids! My NUS commencement falls on Wednesday, 7th July 2010 at 8pm, a slot I dislike.
After 18 and a half years of study, kindergarten through to three and a half years at university, I've finally finished! I went to Taiwan with Weiquan, Kelvin and Hong Jun for a seven-day, six-night graduation trip to celebrate.
I sat my final NUS exam last Thursday, 3rd December 2009, an evening paper from 5pm to 7pm, so technically I've graduated, pending results on 22nd December. Now I'm off to Taiwan, just as I was last year.
Today's CS4266 lecture was my last in NUS, marking my final day of school. Next comes a reading week, then two weeks of exams. As in previous semesters, I have four examinable modules, starting with SSA2211.
I finally clicked the File For Graduation link, as I'll graduate this semester with my last paper on 3rd December 2009. My course runs four years, but as a Singapore Polytechnic graduate I earned 33 module credits of exemptions.
As usual I'm swamped with school, with assignments due every week since week three, and it's now mid-October. My last day of school is 14th November 2008, with three exams on the 22nd, 25th and 27th.
Here's a tutorial on configuring your iPhone, iPhone 3G/3GS or iPod Touch to connect to NUS Wireless. We use the NUS SSID rather than NUSOPEN, since NUS is PEAP-protected and much faster. Note an iOS 4 bug affects this too.
First, your Nokia phone must be 802.11-enabled, whether an Nseries or Eseries. I'm using S60 3rd Edition, Symbian OS 9.2, as an example, though it should work on other S60 editions. We'll use the NUS WLAN SSID rather than NUSOPEN.
Woot, I've applied! The School of Computing is offering a new 4-MC Facebook Programming module next semester, CS3216: Software Development on Evolving Platforms. It's a chance to be part of this new global internet phenomenon.
