Ubuntu 9.10

最近我又因為衝動而跑去install ubuntu啦

新的ubuntu 9.10感觉非常不错用

我install在我的dell vostro 1510上后

只是要搞一搞wireless的driver就没问题了

而且新的ubuntu里也有ibus input可以用来打中文字

但是没有smart input

而且control有點奇怪

害得我打字打到很慢下

非常不习惯的说

身為google的支持者的我当然不會甘于使用firefox的啦

所以我就跑去install了chromium来

感觉跟chrome差不多而已

所以我非常喜歡

上面就是chromium在ubuntu里的样子啦

现在我还在繼续慢慢的configure

然后再看看有什么東東好玩的

不知道你有什么建議呢? xD

Looks exciting isn't it?

So how do I actually get it?

The story begin from this morning.

Today when I wake up at the morning and check my mail box,

I was so excited to saw that google has sent me an invitation to the wave.

So I sign up it immediately and ride the wave!! xD

And of course playing it all alone is not fun at all.

So google has given me some invitations to send to my friends.

Up until the moment I writing this blog, I have sent few invitations to my friends already.

I expect that there might be strangers coming to this blog and demand for invitation.

I'm very sorry to say that I will not simply give invitation to strangers,

since that google wave is only fun if you are playing it with friends.

So I'm going to fully utilize the invitations left for me to gain maximum excitement with friends.

If you already have google wave, then you can add me SquallChua@googlewave.com

Let's ride the wave together!! xD

酒鬼日記

我應該很久沒有更新過這個blog了吧

主要是因為fyp很忙

還有也沒什麼東西寫吧

先回到正題

當初在吃完tenji之後

去逛cold storage看酒

就萌生了想要喝酒的念頭

然後又想到要用不一樣的方法來慶祝下FYP的結束

既然登威也剛巧在五月時會回來

那麼就叫他從labuan買一兩支酒回來吧

首選當然是我還滿期待的chivas regal

然後又問看cfc要甚麼別的

結果搞到最後他居然要那麼甚麼bombay sapphire的

藍色的酒~有點噁心的感覺

光陰似箭~歲月如梭~

很快的fyp結束了

登威也帶著我們要的酒回來了

所以今天我就出去midvalley那邊meet他們拿酒

然後順便去唱k一下

哇哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

下面就給你們看看我帶回來的兩支酒吧

我先把酒藏進冰箱裡面冷藏一下了

最近天氣有點熱

我怕把酒給熱壞掉

然後就是隨時都可以來happy啦

哇哈哈哈哈哈哈

同樣的老鼠

剛才在lowyat翻logitech的產品時

掃過一堆logitech的mouse的圖片

突然我看到以下的圖片

怎麼看起來那麼熟悉的

再看看我手上捉住的mouse

欸?!怎麼那麼像的?

無論顏色和形狀都一模一樣

可是怎麼我的logo是asus的

這個是我買我的asus電腦送的mouse來的

結果我的話還沒說完

就在我的mouse底下看到個logitech的logo了

原來這個mouse真的是logitech的

難怪那麼好用啦 XD

再看看lowyat的價錢

哇!居然要賣到RM85的叻

看來我是拾到寶了

哇哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

慵懶的假期~墮落ing

這個禮拜是難得的假期

雖然我這個假期不回家

要留下來做fyp和assignment

但是人卻變得越來越懶了

吃飽了睡

睡醒了吃

然後還跟kar hoong和cfc玩left 4 dead

結果還因為玩太多結果夢見被zombie追 =.=

天啊

我醬子下去不行的叻

眼看著時間醬子一點點過去

我還真的覺得我會趕不完我的fyp啊

話剛說完又皮很癢想要打civilization了

我可是要為38小時的lan game party做準備的叻 XD

我的iPod Shuffle

這個拜四去了家庭聚會回來後

我的iPod Shuffle也終於到手啦

雖然不是新的

但是也還可以用啦

我還滿喜歡它的小巧方便

隨便夾在衣服上都可以帶著走了 XD

回到家後我當然是第一時間download iTune下來

然後放進我喜歡的歌

我常愛聽的歌也還滿多一下的

不過有1GB都夠裝了

哇哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

這邊show給大家看幾張照片先 XD

以上就是在下的iPod的尊容啦 XD

我都放了我愛聽的蘇打綠和五月天的歌進去

還有最近是看Nodame太多被影響到了

我突然很愛聽古典音樂

跟我朋友拿了Nodame Live CD的音樂來放進去

聽到那些Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Brahms等的交響曲的感覺真好啊

哇哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

第一個job offer

昨天我就已經收到micro ocean的通知了

說他們決定offer給我那個software engineer的position

今天他們再次打過來跟我確定一些細節

他們offer給我的basic salary是RM2200

其實這個數目比我預想中還要少的說

我當時告訴他的salary expectation其實是RM2300-3000的說

2.2k的話扣除了EPF之後

所剩的還不到2k

感覺不是很滿意的說

然後其實好像也沒有什麼其它的津貼可以加上去的感覺

當時在電話裡

我告訴對方說我要hold住這個offer一下

因為我還要時間來考慮其它的可能性

他就問我說其實我主要的考慮因素是甚麼

我當時跟他說

我的第一個考慮因素是working field

如果能夠的話我當然是希望做自己有興趣的工作

而錢的問題落於第二因素

總和來說

其實我對那間公司的messaging system並沒有太大的興趣

至少我沒有看到任何有趣的地方

然後他們offer給我的薪水也比我預想中還要低些

本來我還想要拖久一點才給他們答覆的

不過他們要我在這個星期內給答覆

所以我想想應該還是推掉吧

反正我也還有大把機會的說

MMU的career fair還在等著我呢 XD

題外話:

剛才跟youqi談到了vitrox又send來同樣的email的事情

他告訴我其實那個mailing list是跟著cgpa排的

我看了一下也覺得有點可能

雖然不是很很確定

但是從我認識的幾個人的cgpa的range來算的話

這個也不是不可能的說

不過如果照這樣來看的話

居然還有一個人的cgpa高過我的說 =.=

想想有點不甘心,雖然我都沒有很努力讀書的說

就去調查了一下那個是何方神聖

查了一下那個人好像是個伊朗人來的 =.=

看來在這裡要找出成績比我好的本地人還有點難度的說

本地人真的是都丟臉到家了啊
