well, close calls i guess.  all went quite well and we have three successfully flashed dslites!

in the process, we did have to sacrifice 3 screwdrivers to remove a horribly distorted battery-cover screw… poor darksith!

the joys of ouendan in cooperative mode – up until now we had been playing the laggy versus mode, without being aware that there is a coop gameplay where you take turns at a number of riffs in the song.  your scores are kind of added together and also scored separately at the same time – its really awesome, and best of all there is NO LAG!  *spinning wheels flying around in head*

even darksith was getting in on the ouendan action!

lets move on to something more interesting – pokemon diamond/pearl.  good to see our hero has got his hands on the latest in gaming systems… although, i don’t know WHY he would be going out on a pokemon catching journey when he could be spending his time getting more fmailiar with his wand.  *shrug*

might be hard to see from this shot, but the world is actually perspective 3d!  it is really a nice touch, and while i haven’t explore much of the world yet, this looks like a refreshing addition to a series which has been known to try the same thing again and again and…

the battle system is really nice – this is one game where the touch screen makes for a very useful interface.  the speed i can choose my pokemon moves is exponentially lower now!  there are also new battle transitions and cool stuff which i am yet to experience (i hope anyway).  did i mention you can modify the reverb and filter on your pokemon’s battle cry? 

Today i finished my last project, this time for Computer and Network Security. It was quite an interesting look into some packet logs of attacks on a certain network. Our role was to analyse and produce a report.

Visio sure makes pretty looking diagrams . Anyways, other than a single presentation left tomorrow, uni is officially over. hooray.

On another note, i’ve decided to retire the shoutbox on my blog due to the amount of spam. i’m sure noone cares .

are belong to me!

another project down.  this time it was a dvd rental management system.  quite a lot of fun to make, really.  if you are that way inclined, you could even give the system a whirl here.  don’t worry about breaking it – its a testbed version.

other than not sleeping much, i haven’t had time to do anything worth talking about.  kinda sucks when i go to write a blog entry, but life is enjoyable somehow!  only two more deadline and my uni year is over, bar exams.  but they are exams – riiiight? night before study will do fine!

pepppy out

well i havent posted for a while. with good reason! uni have been very busy and continues to be, with 3 group assignments on an ongoing basis along with the usual committments. i almost forgot how to play ro, and how to sleep.

the end is within sight (well, kind of) as two of the major deadlines fall on monday and wednesday. i have a cache of entries in my head which i really want to blog about, so hopefully i wont forget before i get the time to actually do so.

i guess i don’t have much to show, except a prototype of the jabber client which i have been spending most of my life working on lately.

i’ve been listening to a lot of the naruto op/ed songs – they really got some nice artists for them. my playlist is way too small and i cbfd making it bigger, but i occasionally drag a new folder in there for some variation!
