EOA ’staff’ day

by Jonathan in Life on Sunday September 18, 2005 at 2246hours

Sheez, been busy with the Sec 4 rostering since I logged into MSN. But its a commitment I made and its a commitment i’ll uphold.

Came back from EOA (Educational Outdoor Activities) ’staff’ day with Farand and Azad (yeah, finally managed to catchup with da man). A day when we finally get to experience the high elements ourselves instead of being grounded conducting the activity. FUN FUN FUN. =)

Did CRC (Challenge Rope Course) first which was rather unexciting I must admit. Then moved on to the rockwall, which was fun, but I’m still using too much of my arms instead of my legs.

Moved on to Zipline (Flying Fox) after that and that was the most fun. The line’s quite slack, so the first 2 seconds or so is a complete freefall, (as in 9.81m/s^2 towards the ground) before getting picked up by the line. Whee!!

That was followed by absailing, which i upped my time-to-bottom to about 8 seconds, so thats an improvement. So yeah, that concluded the EOA ’staff’ day.

Looking forward to more camps, but since I still have exams I guess I’ll have to wait. Sigh.

CS just ain’t for me

by Jonathan in Life on Friday September 16, 2005 at 2044hours

Yes, CS as in counter-strike, and (even bigger yes), i’ve been playing it though I’ve stopped for the exams.

Back to topic, I think the reason I don’t play much multiplayer games is because I simply suck at it. As in really, really, terribly and atrociously can’t make it.

The conclusion stems from the fact that bots (average one’s in fact, not even considering the smarter ones) can kill me with KNIVES! Here I am holding a pistol, and they have the audacity to walk up to me and kill me with their KNIVES! Says wonders about my aim doesn’t it?

At this rate, if I were to go to war for Singapore, my area of the battlefield’s going to have a whole lot of bullet holes and no dead enemies. So here’s the lesson to be learnt, don’t bother playing CS with me and if you do, make sure you arn’t on my side. =)

cBoard userbase increase

by Jonathan in Jonaize on Tuesday September 13, 2005 at 2152hours

I’m upping the beta on cBoard to include more users. (Yes, its still beta :p) So if you or anyone you know would like this highly customisable service, just send me an email.

I’ve thought about it and have decided that I’m not going to release accounts to the public. One of the reasons that tag-board and other providers go down so easily is that they try to do too much. Ain’t gonna happen to cBoard.

The fast paced life

by Jonathan in SP on Wednesday September 7, 2005 at 1703hours

Just handed in Java assignment today, will upload and release it soon. All assignments done, can finally start studying for Final Term Exams. I think life runs faster than Nabil. Oh well.

I’m missing my grandma a lot. There’s something soothing about her and her nagging. Sigh, I miss the nagging too. :(
