I scanned in the card & certificate I received in the Sun Certification package here. You'd have to register to view them though.

IN3D lab test today was surprisingly easy. We had to model a rocket & add in colour to the surfaces. I think that's the most complicated 3D model I've built to date. First time I used the mirror & extrude tools successfully too. Unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot of my creation, but I shall upload a couple when I can access my Zip disk in school next week. I'm actually starting to get comfortable with LightWave & liking it. It's not as cheem as I thought.

This is what it looks like when I'm e-learning for eIHRM on SkillPort, (which is what I'm doing right now):



It's so...blah. Or maybe I'm just looking for something to complain about.

I hadn't completed The Opposite of Fate by Amy Tan yet (in fact, I hardly cracked it open), but I had to return it to TP library anyway. I couldn't renew it as someone had reserved the book in advance. Boo. I'd better grab it from the library again one day. (Read More)

The WordPress CSS Style Competition is closed & the winners have been announced! I just found out about the competition a few days ago. Wish I had had the time to submit an entry. But I wouldn't have stood a chance, there are some seriously excellent styles up there! Maybe there'd be another contest in the future; I'd definitely try then. (Read More)

This is so geeky: a page listing the hundreds of programming languages you can output the famous "Hello World!" in. (Link from ennovY.) I never knew there was a language called Brainf*ck! :D *explores*

There's a new kid on the block: ExpressionEngine. Somehow it gives me the impression that it's too full of fluff (if you get what I mean). It definitely meant to go the commercialised way, like pMachine. (Which is, may I add, rather ironic, as I could spot three spelling mistakes within seconds of browsing a couple of pages.) But US$199.00 for one owned license is way too much, no matter how good it is! US$50.00 for a 30-day hosted demo is a rip-off too, in my opinion. I'll stick to my open source software, thank you very much.

Remember I said I wanted to show the rocket I had modelled for the IN3D lab test? I doubt anyone cares, but here it is anyway.





Here's the screenshot showing the rocket in all viewports in LightWave Modeler.

As if Google hasn't indexed enough pages already, it now spans 4.28 billion web pages!

I love it.

I haven't came across most of the weblogs on this periodic table of blogs. Have you?

A few cool websites I stumbled upon today:

• Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age - would make you feel underachieved.


• Google Zeitgeist - Search patterns, trends, and surprises according to Google - very interesting, if you're into Google


• The Simulator - something silly if you have time to waste


• Computer Languages History - if you even bother about these things, like me

I have a new photolog! Heh. Couldn't resist signing up with Lightbox7.com. I love how the interface resembles Tabulas. Do add me as a friend if you have a Lightbox7 account.

This is mega cool. When you stop moving your mouse for about 5 seconds it'll dance around on its own. Heh. Looking at this page made me dizzy after a while.

I have finally done the unthinkable: ditched Microsoft Office. It has served me for years, but ever since I've discovered better, cheaper alternatives out there, it irks me to think that I've put up with it all this while. I <3 OpenOffice. Soon enough, I'm going to ditch Windows XP altogether. *evil laughter*

Installed Alex King's WP Style Switcher on my weblog today. I'm amazed at how simple & compact it is. Now I just need styles for it to actually function as a style switcher. Heh.

My Daily Grind for yesterday is now up! I took 25 photos, which is more than I did the last time. They're low resolution though, as I wanted to squeeze as many photos as I could into my memory card-less digicam.
