Endless Paradigm

And being Sunday night, I am sorely disappointed that no new episodes of Kiddy Girl-And have been released in the whole week.

I just saw ep20.  Looks like the story will be running into the climax soon.
Hayate no Gotoku is getting a bit repetitive around ep42 now, but I guess it is to be expected for a 52 episode series.

And being Sunday night, feel bad that there's another week of work/study

Same.

Excpet I have one of these in-tutorial exams tomorrow.

3 out of my 4 subjects are heavily based on team work.
Which is good in one sense, as long as the others do the work.  Problem is, from experience, they rarely do, until the night before.
EDIT: just got an email about one of my team members quitting.
Marvellous.

I've done some productive things this weekend at least, though not much, but it's better then nothing.
Also I hate team work at times. When I was in middle school I usually went and tackled team work projects by myself, If team work was in the criteria, well I think the teacher ignored it to my total mark instead of putting it down as failure.

Seems that the Uni upgraded all computers in the library over the break, plus some computers in the business school's computer labs.
Now all Uni computers run on a Core 2 Duo processor (unsure about the computers in lecture rooms) and no more Pentium 4s.

The libraries now all have iMacs, running a 2GHz mobile Core 2 CPU, 2GB RAM, integrated graphics from memory.
Except that these Macs all run Windows XP, and the single button on the mouse is kinda stupid - can't see how anyone could use Windows well without a right-click button.  The scrollwheel is a tiny little ball - whilst it might seem cooler, it means less control over the scroll than a standard wheel.
It seems that the computer is inside the screen, probably like the old Macs.  The USB ports are well placed - at the back of the screen...  They also seem to have optical drive of sorts, but I couldn't find it.  I used the "Eject drive" thing in Windows, it made some weird sound, but I didn't notice anything otherwise.

Computers in the business school's P4s got thrown out (maybe) and replaced with the C2D E6750 + 2GB PCs in a different lab, which got replaced with E8400 + 4GB RAM PCs.  Same specs as the PCs in the IT labs, except in a smaller case, and the monitors are worse.  Apart from the native resolution of 1680x1050, all other selectable options have screwed aspect ratios.  Plus screen not adjustable in height, unlike the ones in the IT labs.

The internet got "upgraded" apparently, now content from Google networks, including Youtube etc is unmetered.  Wikipedia, Sourceforge, Yahoo etc are still metered though.

The drive should be on the right side, near the top of the box.

and double you tee eff. Why buy hella expensive Macs if you're gonna put XP on them.

Dammit, wee still have some P4 in some of the crappier labs (the ones in the College of Business & Economics), which happens to be labs closest to where I usually am .  All E8400s in all the libraries, with full HD monitors.

The CBE did get a new building though, which looks pretty awesome and probably makes it the best building in the uni.


EDIT: Wee have Macs too, and unlike yours, they actually run Mac OS.  Linux workstations too in the IT labs.

wee've got fairly decent PCs in our library, one Mac G5, wee've got a 'Computer Aided Music Theory' lab with Macs like yours Zinga, and our CIS lab with PCs dual booting Linux/Windows. And our music studios have Mac G5s.

I'll take a look next time I go there.  Thanks :P

Yeah, I've actually been in one of them XD

Don't have any Linux machines I think, apart from the servers (which is what's used when teaching UNIX courses in IT).
