ok… emo again…
some stuff happened… and very upset about what happened.
and the drama continues…
what to do?
going to sleep seems to be a solution… but will everything be ok tomorrow?
still got home work to be done… and totally no mood to go about doing them now…
if only I have my driving license… I might just go somewhere where I can be alone…
Ok… first time went to school gym today…
Actual plan was to jog/run around the school’s running track. However, after 3/4 of a round, it started to drizzle… and… Kai Lian and I sprinted back.
So we went to the gym instead… spent like 40mins there before we felt like we couldn’t go on training… xD
so we left… and PSP-ed while drinking H-TWO-O. haha…. then headed home…
Really sleepy day today… but… Still gotta try to finish up Rendermonkey homework…
Ahhhh…. =X
I dun feel like taking NAPFA anymore… lol…
Ran after school… around school perimeter… ran together with Kai Lian and Ms Tan… about 10-15mins into the run… my legs were about to give up… they didn’t have the strength to climb the stairs properly even… slowly walked… and cooled down… before heading back to Ms Tan’s office to take my bag…
Running is gonna kill me… and so is pull ups… Dang… and I am still aiming for silver when my NAPFA is on the 25th Nov…
MADNESS!
whee… stayed back in school to use the PS3 lab when it was available to do some practice… as well as complete my practical…
Where I last stopped, I was actually left with trying out the debugger on Yellow Dog Linux on PS3… and mounting my USB device on Linux’s bash shell… instead of the X Windows…
Last time… when I tried to mount my USB device, I was facing problems… like mount cannot be found… well today I managed to find my error… I actually forgot to key in a space… so I typed “mount/mnt/usb” instead of the correct “mount /mnt/usb”…
Well… now I think I kind of like using bash over X Windows… firstly, it is much more colorful, and once I am used to the commands, I am able to do quite a number of things…
Debugging part of the practical went well also… Helped to explain to XinYee some stuff from the debugger also… =) kind of happy to have accomplished some things from staying back today…
HLSL Practical one…
caused me so much headache…
but after some advise from Eileen how to tackle the problem… and still being very confused…
Mark told me that the shaders code is for one pixel each time it ran through… and somehow that helped me understand better how to solve the problem…
so… here are the screen captures… woohoo~!
Programming Hardware Shaders Module Practical 1-Colorful
Programming Hardware Shaders Module Practical 1-Split Color
Yesterday…
Got up in the morning… washed up, started day by going to the Post Office to renew my PDL.
Got in line… queued at least 15mins before my turn came. In that time… this man came and queued behind me.
And oh my… did he stink… or at least I thought the smell was from him… and he stood so close to me still.
After that, waited for popular to open at 11am. waited another 15mins or so… just to get a blank CD.
bought a $0.85 one… capable of writing up to x52 speed… but like not much use… max target speed was x48 on my home desktop PC.
burned WinXP x64 to it and installed it on my laptop. Only to realize that… My driver disc does not support x64 XP. So… went back to the same place where I got my x64 XP, MSDNAA, and got myself the XP with SP3. Started download then left for school to do some of my practical lessons… Since I didn’t have windows and the necessary software installed yet.
In school, tried to locate a free lab… but… there was none. Saw some available computers in Mr. Fritz’s class… asked for permission, and used a computer to do HLSL… but no matter how I tried… I didn’t understand what the heck I was doing. Although by chance I managed to get one out of the two outputs needed.
By 4pm, another class came in and had to leave the lab.
Met XiuPing, for a short discussion, did some other stuff… before heading out to Paya Lebar to meet Zul, Jin Hong and Melvin.
saw Yvonee at Subway from LJS at SingPost, as we ate at LJS… before going to Grandlink for Pool… and some Daytona… before we all headed home.
Today…
met Olivia in school for breakfast… and supposedly try to do HLSL. But, I forgot to bring my mouse! So, basically spent time trying to install Visual Studio 08. And for some frigging reason, SQL Server 2005 can’t be installed… even after trying a few times.
Went for DESOC class… seems pretty slack class… with alot of discussions… not too bad… =)
my DESOC blog will be coming soon…
after that, intro to motion capture… I saw my FYPJ’s work being showed to the rest of the class on ViconIQ! haha… how exciting!
anyways… got a brief intro to what we were gonna be doing, and what the equipment are…
after MoCap class… went home for quick dinner, before rushing to Marine Parade to witness Bryan’s Baptism!!! Yay!
Had a round of drinks treat from Bryan’s dad… nice guy! =)
While we chat and chat annd chat… till approximately 10pm…
Bought Mos burger for family, before heading home…
Well… school is where learning takes place right? Haha…
Today… had my first lesson on programming hardware shaders… some parts of the code were easy to catch… while other parts are just… not as easilly understood… first practical… make the cube have a two differen kinda outputs… using HLSL… well… was fooling around with the codes… and somehow I managed to get the second output that was required… but… sad thing is that I can’t explain what happened… or what were the steps I took to get to the end product… so… scrapped it… probably try it out myself at home… it’s due the next lesson anyways…
stayed back in school to try out linux… borrowed a book to refer to this morning from the library… in case I wanted to do something but didn;t know how… well… today… managed to create compressed tarballs and uncompress it… also managed to compile codes from vim itself… and open multiple files on vim… haha… was pretty fruitful time… what’s left to do are basically trying to mount usb device using bash and doing the debugging portion of the practical…
Hope to do well this semester… seems like there’s a lot of free time… but… I think there’s a lot of self studying to do also… or else… I might not survive this semester…
