As some of you (read: probably none of you) know, I hate JS with a passion, and will go to absurdly great lengths to implement something in CSS3 -- which is basically my one true love...
"You know that ringing sound that you will perceive when you are in a very quiet area? Some people say this is an auditory-illusion brought about the ear’s inability to detect frequencies below the threshold of the human senses. This is completely wrong..."
I recently started an internship at Oracle. I'm working as a software engineer, with very little say in how anything is done, but I do get to suggest options and possibilities to my team lead and project managers.
Luckily, this isn't my first rodeo. I've already been through the initially ugly "interfacing technical stuff with HR stuff" stage, and can now manage to give a suggestion to a higher-up without their eyes bugging out and my fearing for my job...
So all of my classmates posted on our Facebook group that our end-of-term marks are out. My heart stops for a moment. This is it, the moment of truth. What I see on the school website will determine whether I passed or failed, whether I win or lose, whether I...
I... honestly have no idea why I thought of this. I suppose this is what happens when you spend an entire class (and I mean the full term, not just one day) doing linked lists and BSTs (comprised of linked lists). Throw in morse code, and you have a quick way to decipher it without actually learning anything...
In a few days, I'll be moving out of my on-campus residence (with a cafeteria) and be forced to - once again - begin making food for myself. I'm sure many of you are in the same situation, so I'll share some of my cooking tips and recipes to the less culinarily inclined among you...
I'm currently about one week away from finishing my first year at university. I'm about halfway though my exams, and will soon see whether I made it through my first year.
The first thing I noticed about university was the exponential rise in difficulty after the first term...
Since I started my Bachelor's program (Software Engineering at uWaterloo), I've begun to realise that engineers... don't have it easy in university. Engineers in university are not allowed to have lives, mostly because they're too busy doing homework and studying.
Now, not to say that engineering is the most difficult program...
I've been told I take good notes. Now, personally, I think that's a gross overstatement, but a million adoring fans can't be wrong (not that I'd know... someone who has a million adoring fans, please let me know if I'm correct).
Anyway, people probably like my notes mostly because they're written in LaTeX, and are all formatted and pretty. At least, that's probably why Clarisse likes them...
Well, I've gone and done it again: I got bored of the most recent layout for my website and went with a completely new one, redesigned from scratch. This time, I've gone with a more bloggy-type of website, which should (hopefully!) prompt me to get back into writing regularly. Or, it'll be a complete...
