my new Apple.

Got myself an Apple after much (or not) consideration.
A friend commented that I looked totally like some kind of 3 year old (or something), getting all hyper and excited (eyes filled with gleam), like a kid getting her first prize or favourite toy.

Why, of course it’s a toy! Favourite/new toy indeed…

Nowadays, I have been really busy… *shocked* I dunno why I kena a new project and I was “shot” with a totally new thing and doing/trying out new language, product/platform. Oh, crap. Basically for the past 2 weeks… OT like for free. It’s a big jump for me… But well.. new project I guess it’s a good thing too. Hmmmm….

Google Maps’ Street View feature.

This new (or probably not so new) to those always-up-to-date-tech ppl.. Anyway, I just need to make myself be in awed in this bloody cool feature. Though it may not be able to update “live” the night/day time, neither can it be the exact season or whatsoever. But the thing is, it is just so damn cool to be able to explore this street view feature.. and it REALLY REALLY takes alot ALOT of power and damn zai pple from Google to be able to get this feature done up man. I think this new feature could be my new added daily hobby and more stupid reasons to go online. Imagine I could explore places like the States, Europe in 3D and able to navigate lah! (though not live, but it’s really REALLY good enough, at least for now). Google is like my god now la. @_@

This is outside the Kyoto Train Station and I passed by here daily when I was in Kyoto taking bus! *Missing Kyoto, missing my travel* Sigh.

Let’s play Googolopoly!

This is really interesting…

Box.net came up with the idea of making google into a monopoly.
hoho.

Being the so-called monster in the Internet world, Google is having constantly exponential increase of gastronomical juices in terms of acquisition.

As quoted from Box.net

“In the last few months, Google Health, AppEngine, Knol, Android, OpenSocial, Sites, and the rumored Skype acquisition (is that even real or just propaganda?) were some of the most talked-about topics. We often come to the conclusion that Google’s way to do business with other companies and interest in controling the information age makes the company look more and more like the software monopoly of yesteryears. Overall, it’s questionable whether such a powerful position made the world better or worse….”

” One day we got tired of being serious about the situation and came up with Googolopoly, a game where you can take part of ruling the internet even if you don’t work in Mountain View. The goal of the game is to use Google shares to buy as many properties as you can without landing in the deadpool and losing your stock. As with any great board game, there’s a very real metaphor to what’s going on…. What happens when the Google monster gobbles up all that is left in the web world, is present on your cell phone, desktop, and even controls your health information? For all their product excellence, the threat of amassing this much data is too serious to ignore.”

And tada! Googolopoly for everyone!

Sheesh, I better start to mug for the last paper for tmr NOW!!! *horrified*

vrml script for the beginning of a new year.

After some editing, researching, coding, scripting, blah-blah, whatever it’s called, I’d managed to capture the images of webcam into vrml. One great step to year 2008 I hope.

Time to invest some time for my interim report soon.

time consuming sh*t.

After 3 hours, uvw unwrap is still a mystery I have yet solve.
And this is a sample of the stand which showed the school logo that I’d done for freaking 3 hours! I know I suck at using 3ds max, but still, at least I’d tried…

All rights reserved to school for the logo.. -___-”

p/s: pls do not be envious of what I’m doing for my fyp, cos, i’m not exactly enjoying doing it either.. it’s freaking time consuming..!
