Assignments after assignments
Lately, it has been a hectic school life. Everyday seems to be really crazy because of those lectures and I had to spend time at home after school to work on assignments.
WISP assignment was so called "released" last Friday because of those lessons that we had missed since Week 2. Should I really blame my lecturer for briefing us late for the assignment? Nonetheless, these few days, I have been really putting my time in front of my laptop and type the report out in essay form with further research. It is totally crazy for me to finish the essay less than a week. Blah, this considered to be my fastest assignment I have ever did other than my Java assignment in Year 1. Oh well oh well, I have an upcoming seminar to attend organised by IDA and other organisations. The seminar is Industry InfoComm Forum which is this coming Monday. And a really big big mistake is my WISP assignment is due on the same day. Blah, thought of submitting my essay tomorrow to MeL and hardcopy to the IS office, but I'm afraid I may do badly because I submit the essay early due to insufficient checks on the essay despite, I tried to rephrase my report a lot. Well, I guess if I do badly, I really need to push my assignment 2 for WISP real hard this round.
Went for Imagine Cup briefing after school at 5pm today, a sudden urge to participate in the competition on Software Design category, come to think of it, I need at least 2 more members in my group to participate. I wish I can work on it alone. But seems that, ICT wants to group the members together which I kind of dislike it so much. Maybe I have no fate to participate?

Facebook Alternative?
Recently, I have discovered a new alternative to surf Facebook beside using the web browser.
Fishbowl provides a great solution to browse Facebook right from your desktop. Yes, you heard me right! It is a client program to surf Facebook right from your desktop. Installation of the program takes about a minute or so.
Basically, the program uses Silverlight, a Microsoft SDK for Facebook to develop the program.

Windows 7 Realtek Audio Driver/Program
I realised my Realtek audio program was deleted after I formatted my notebook from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
Even though, Windows 7 would actually be clever enough to install my audio drivers, but however, I was pretty sad that my Realtek audio program was gone just like that. Why was I even sad? The reason is simple, I rely a lot on the equaliser with my speaker to give it a bass boost.
Actually, after I formatted my notebook to Windows 7, I actually installed a Windows 7 audio codec which was wrong to install. But of course the end result was, my audio driver could not even startup and it even screwed up my Windows 7 themes and the theme is just purely on Windows Classic. Several services could not even startup especially my LAN.
Any Realtek audio users there? Simply just get Vista, Windows7 Driver (32/64 bits) Driver only (ZIP file). Here is the download link although, you gotta agree to the agreement: http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Ah Choo,,,
Since Wednesday, have been sneezing. Well, I thought, it's just normal for your nose to sneeze due to dusty environment.
Thursday morning went to bathe before heading to school for lessons at 9am, then clean my nose part because of black pores. Then the water hurt my nose and started to feel running nose. That's normal as such situation I experience before. So thought nothing happened.
Ended up I caught a cold in class with those really super strong aircons and plus with the cold weather. After lessons, spent some time at The Square at 31 to wait for 5pm SIG meeting. Ended up, location changed from The Square at 31 to eGarage. Alright committee meeting was okay rather as compared to some meeting I had with the adults last Sunday. I guess I get along very well with people around my age because of the endless ideas for youths. We decided to submit a proposal to Ms Lee to approve the activities to bring in the members. I realised something contradict about my lecturer which I would not want to blog about it.
Yesterday, thought I was alright and went to class for 4 hours for IS modules. Right in the ISM module, I feel a bit sick and no mood to really understand the lesson even though typed notes using the notepad program. End of school, took the same bus as Rui Ping. Then when reach home, my head was really tight and went to bathe and took 2 panadols and slept 2 hours and then woke up to eat porridge.
Monday is NAFA test. Sigh.
Tomorrow going for a new haircut, perhaps new hairstyle.

No School but eLearning
Today is a slightly different day from normal weekdays though.It's my school's division eLearning day. So yea no need to wake up at 8am but at 8.30am just to get ready with morning bath and get myself ready right in front my notebook just to login to the MeL system to be actively in doing the group activity in the discussion board. MeL system was pretty lag but of cause it is way better than the previous run on eLearning. Previous eLearning on MeL was terrible. That's probably the reason why Ngee Ann Poly has to upgrade it's MeL system to a newer version.
Morning was Supply Chain Management (SCM) module and had to submit answers for the activity. I'm appointed as the leader to initiate discussions and summarise group members' work.
Afternoon was Web Database Development Module (WDD) and had to do tutorials individually. Answers can be taken from the appendixes (slides) but of cause did some rephrasing on the answers. 7 questions in all.
One funny thing encountered in Windows Live Messenger just now in the afternoon. I typed my nick as "SOMEONE USING IMAC IN ELEARNING SIA". And my lecturer (used to be) msn me and said she was one of them and asked me if I'm referring to her. Lecturer having eLearning at home as well. And I know she was using iMac afterall at home. So yea, the nick was about her. haha. But of cause I didn't even bother to tell her. And I do not want to be hunt down by her in school.

Solution: Div won't align to center
Have you ever dealing with div just to centralise the div on your user interface?
Fret not, I have just dealt with it when trying to design a website.
Basically, you will type such css codes to align your div to center.
margin: auto;
padding: auto;
But however, it works on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Internet Explorer on the other hand, mess the alignment and it will actually align to the left. So how do I align the div to the center.
Simple, remove any headers to your html files or php files and replaced it with
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Viola!

Windows Live Mail Application
I know this post comes a bit later though, but I would like to share everyone on Windows Live Mail application which was developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows Live Messenger and those packages.
Recently, I reformated my notebook from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Professional. Yea, I know everything wipes out except for some of my old documents. And I realised, hey, my Windows Mail (another alternative for Microsoft Outlook) was deleted. Okay, I could not find any application which I can use it to check my company emails since I have to use my company email account to access those important emails from clients. Guess what, and I went to google and I search on Windows Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Windows 7 Operating System. There seems to be no hope though I tried one solution which was to use the Windows Mail files and folders in the Windows Vista and copied over to the Windows 7 C Drive. The end result was failed! I was quite worried about this since I could not even copy those emails to my personal email account such as Gmail. So I continued to search, and I saw Windows Live Mail application which can be used as another alternative. But of cause since I was busy with work, so I did not bother to try it until today. :) My notebook is installed with Windows Live Messenger and not Windows Live Mail because I dislike unwanted applications to be installed onto my notebook. It took me 5 minutes to install the application. And I have managed to link it up to my Gmail and my company email. I was happy that my Gmail setup takes less than 20 seconds since the application was clever enough to identify it as a Gmail account through the Gmail account domain name. But of cause for those specified ones like company emails, the settings have to be configured correctly.
If you do not have Windows Mail or Microsoft Outlook applications in your computer to setup your company emails, then why not install Windows Live Mail application and simply configure your company email account settings given by your system administrator or network administrator?
