Happy Chinese New Years
February 04, 2000
I hope your 4698th year will be as good as the last 4698. It’s the year of the Dragon. It’s the year of the future: 2000. Anyone ever imagine what the year 2000 would’be been like? I thought we would have hovercars and holographic recreation and houses that clean themselves. But 2000 and 1990 are quite similar (plus some more computing power that’s it).
I haven’t updated lately because I’ve simply been too busy with my boring little life. Firstly, on the Thursday, we were slaughtered in hockey by a score of 9-1. We were doing ok in the first half, 3-0, then in the second, we totally died. Shots from all sorts of weird angles went in. I managed to score that lonely 1 for us… yeah for me I guess. =P
Then there were the few hours I spent making v2.0 prototypes. One of them is up, in the graphics page – but It’s canned because Dennis pointed out that it didn’t work in Netscape. Fuck netscape. And you too Dennis! For using Linux! Haha if it weren’t for NS, my pages would all work fine. Hey here’s an interesting thought: you know how MS supposedly is imposing a monopoly over net browsers by packaging IE with Windows… well, there is no IE in Linux, so can we go file a class action suit on Netscape for having a monopoly in Linux??? Hmm… I hope Paul Allen doesn’t read this. Haha. There’s bound to be some loophole with free software and monopolies and I’m sure Allen and Co. will come up with a way to dismantle Netscape by the seams.
I played a few hours of Xcom too, but not that much. I don’t know where my time went! Oh yeah, I did study quite a bit and also trained hard. Then there was Tuesday which I was bummed out and some good friends accompanied me to to pool hall and I whupped them. After that, I felt a lot better and yesternight I whupped some more people. I rule.
There’s a Portfolio Management Foundation (what a shitty webpage) in Commerce which I have the highest interest in getting in. It’s an intensive 2 year program geared to bring experience in the industry of capital investments and such. About a hundred apply and 6-9 get in. I like those odds. If I get in I’ll be spending the summer working in Toronto: a city I don’t like since it’s ultra fast paced and everyone seems to be pissed off all the time. Plus I don’t know too many people there except a few good friends work there. If I’m picked, then maybe I can see them a bit more instead of twice a year, once being drunk and puking. Good luck to me.
I have 2 midterms and 2 assignments next week and as of right now, I have four whole days to study for them. I’m confident I’ll be too lazy and make that four into three, then two, then none. I don’t expect to be updating in these few days so read up this new stuff.
During my hiatus from the webpage updating scene, redirect your browser slightly and head towards Sinned’s Realm. After excessive harassment of “Make a banner Dennis. Make a banner Dennis.” etc, he has made a banner! You might notice it up top. If not, keep refreshing this page until you do see it – it’s on random selection between 3 banners. And his page is getting funnier and more interesting each day.
