Magic in Microsoft

Some of you guys might received this email. And these stuff is really weird. No one could explain why this happens.

MAGIC #1

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the
Computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty
Cool...and Unbelievable.... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this
happened!
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER



MAGIC #2

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

is it just a really weird bug? :-??



MAGIC #3

Microsoft crazy facts

This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable...

At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates , couldn't answer why this happened!

It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself...

Open Microsoft Word and type

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER
Then see the magic...............................

Housework

Two days ago, around 4 plus, there was no electricity. And the condition lasted till 8something. The story I'm about to tell is simple. Since there is no electricity, most of my housemates gathered in the living room and ate dinner while watching a show using Stephen's laptop. Everything is pretty much OK, till the garbage truck came. And some one needs to take the trash out.

Mr.BossAround said, "Oh, the garbage truck is here." Then he turned around to look at the duty roster. I was there waiting for him to call out the person incharged of the garage. But then, Mr.BossAround said nothing and quietly sat back in his sit. This seems strange for someone who likes to call other people to do the work. Then the logic came to me in a split second. Even without looking at the duty roster, the reason is simple. Its HIS turn to take the trash out. His name is on the duty list.

If I've been skipping my duties, then I would have nothing to say or have no right to speak up. However, since I did my duties every week, its very irritating to see him skip his duty while if other people's name is up then he'll definately call out their name. This is OUR house. Its our responsibility to look after it and do our duties. I guess some people like this deserve the title @$$h0!3

Net Wars

Everyone went to their respective battle station.

Initiating MSN connection.......
connecting.....
Msn connected. Linking drive to chat room 1.
Keyboard full power...
Linear catapult clear....
System all green...
All weapons free...
Combatants launch.

And so the war started.
The war is about the useless streamyx line. The old line which was supposed to be functioning is still down and its already a month. The bill we received stated RM0.00. Furthermore its under our senior's name when it should be under King Kong's name. We've telephoned and ask those from streamyx from fixing line to activating the line. All would say check this and check that. No solid reply was given. I wish I could scream at them "CHECK MY @$$"

The question now, 'is the line cut?' or streamyx not doing their job and didn't bother to activate the line. Mr.X who didn't help out anything started to point fingers at own housemates. WOW. And he is also unclear about certain stuff bout the net line. =.=". (Did he really live in this house?) Great. A leecher. If we were to apply a new line, there would be registration fees and other fees which is not cheap. Some don't agree on this and don't want to pay. While some are willing to pay.

Another laughable part is how Mr.Y come to this idea of the conversation. Where those willing to pay will pay for the initial fees while after that all would share both line. GREAT. Who is so fckin stupid and willing to pay the money for others. I know I would be that fool. And so the argument continues until...........

OK. Conclusion reached. Those who wants the new line will pay for it and those not willing to pay will use the old line. If either one of the line is down, the other group are not to touch the operational line. So it came to just me and Ericc willing to pay for the new line. After a few tweaks and turns it'll mostly stay this way.

Both agree that we can download whole day. Coz 2 person using the line wouldn't cause much damage to the other. For me, although the money I have to pay is higher, I wouldn't have to deal with those @##&$%#$ people who closes my download program when I'm downloading on the appropriate time. And also those who download during daytime and keep complaning that the line is slow.

Birthday Surprise

I was truely surprised that my housemates celebrate my birthday when the clock passes midnight signifying that its the 18th of October. They got KFC to celebrate the occasion. And some of them didn't took their dinner just to wait for the KFC. The truth is, if they had called me 5 minutes later, I would've hit the sack. Thank god I'm still awake. Then throughout the night till 2am plus, my handphone wouldn't stop ringing. I kept receiving messages wishing me happy birthday which I'm truly grateful.

For all those who read this and wished me on that day, I would like to say thank you.

On a darker note, I caught a flu. And its really an inconvinient time. Got fencing competition this Saturday and also Dr. Harimi's test. Got to study now.

EXAM EXAM EXAM

Omg. The finals is near and I've barely done any full preparation for all the subjects. Especially my thermo. With a terrible lecturer, I dunno how I would do in my finals. I would be very very happy if I scored a B in this subject. Even the chances of getting B is low. I've also started to gain confidence in some subjects which I thought I would surely die.

Fluids : Thanks to the group studies that has been made so far, I could say that I've done fairly well in it.

Strength of Materials : Still on a so-so ground. Its not as bad as it seems if I put in more effort into it.

Japanese : Hopefully I could continue to score A in this semester also. Vocab wise I think I'm still ahead of what I should know. Just that the grammar part is a bit shaky.

Applied Mechanics : Promised myself that I would do a good job to prove him wrong. Did a major slip up during the 1st test and got written not serious in my paper. 2nd test is next week , and this time I'll exceed his expectation.

TiongHua : Done the assignment and drama. Whats left is the 40 objectives. Hopefully get a A-. Although the lecturer say many got B+. Which might not be that bad. If got an A- its for the better.

Math : Another huge obstacle. But not impossible to get good results. Need to put in a lot and multiple extra effort. If not I'm surely dead.

Thermo : SURE DIE!! The chance of seeing an A- or B+ for this subject in my exam slip is as good as the chance of streamyx providing an excellent net service. NEVER!!!

Now the hours of gaming and watching anime has seriously gone down. Although this is a great season which I had a lot in my watch list. Been waiting for a long time for such a good season to appear, but...............WHY in exam season also? They surely has a great timing.

Dark Net

The future of the internet service/ broadband in our country is dark. A new project for the broadband which is HSBB ( High Speed BroadBand) is made and its given to telekom. OMG!! And more soever, telekom is given a subsidy of 2.4b. Not million but BILLION. WTF??? Other companies offered to do the same project without subsidy. If other people doesn't require the subsidy, why does telekom needs it? The reason would be very very obvious. Ehem....

As the debate of this matter is posted on youtube, I totally agree that there is no competition for telekom for the broadband service. The service they provide just sucks. The internet line is freaking slow, and if there's any complain or repairs needed to be done, they would take ages. Just fixing a new line and activating it takes up nearly a month. The 2nd line in my house is out for quite some time. A few days more and it'll be more than a month. If they charge us for the monthly fees, then they'll bound to hear more complains from me.

Even when they want to fix a new net line in my house, we have to call dozens of times. The same problem also occur to many. Damn it. When we apply for it, they said that it would be done within 10 WORKING DAYS. Its 10. However, it takes nearly a month to complete fixing the line. Which is double the promised time. I really wonder if we can sue streamyx for not delivering the service they promised. Many companies were sued for not being able to fulfill thier promises. If sueing streamyx is an option, then I think that many would have gladly done it.

For the new project, if other companies other than telekom or streamyx are doing the project, I would be the 1st in line to subscribe their service and also be the 1st to turn down all offers provided by streamyx. Why go for streamyx when i can have other options. I would happily bet that other service provider would do a much better job than streamyx.

More and More Complains

This blog has not much interesting stuff in it. The main part of my blog is mostly my complains. For the internet issue, other than the slow and irritating service provided by streamyx, another factor that really gets onto my nerve is 'some' of my housemates. There's a verbally agreement that all downloads must be made after midnight and NO DAYLIGHT DOWNLOADS. However, those who made all those fcuking complains in the 1st place and made a huge fuss out of it is currently breaking what he made us do and download shows during day time.

When the line goes slow, and if 'he' didn't download any stuff, you can hear him complain, "Hey, ********* u got on download is it?" On the other hand, if the line is slow and 'he' didn't even complain or made any noise, there's a good chance that 'HE' is the one that is downloading and makes the line much slower.

I wish I could shout "SCREW YOU" at him and throw his computer out the window. Whats the point of making an agreement when the person who suggest to make it breaks the agreement in the 1st place. The other users also pays the same amount of money for the streamyx but the usage part is clearly and heavily out of balance.

I looked like a fool to be one of the few who still follow the agreement and continue to do my downloadings during the night. These few days when I wake up, the download speed -- 1kb/s or worse. This morning, its 288b/s. WTF!!??!! I might as well don't on my computer. If 'he' says that he has many things that he have to download, "GO TO HELL N F YOURSELF" As if I don't have any shows to download. I'm willing to bet 1million that my stuff to download is double or more his amount. At home I can download 4 to 5 episodes a day and here??? Barely 1 episode a week. Its pathetic.

Its really depressing. If this continues, I would love to tell them to hug the internet line by themselves. I'm seriously thinking of getting a line for myself. The celcom 3G. Even if i have to pay RM99 a month, if I worked during the holidays, then i can cover the bill myself. Even if its a bit expensive, I will be able to use a decent internet and don't have to follow any stupid agreement of foolish rules which won't be abided by 'some'.

New Design

Got new design of logo, slogan and t-shirt. Now left to the higher-ups to decide which design they want.

Next week will be another hellish week. These kind of weeks seems to be pretty often here in our 3rd sem. Have lots of things to do which includes assignments, test and other presentations. Saturdays and Sundays are fully booked. Its high time to unhooked on the games and start to put more effort in work. Might be unable to post for a while.

Design

Took me some time, but my 1st draft of the logo for the UMS Fencing Open is done. I looked quite nice to me. I'll take some time to improve it and give it colours. Since the given theme was something to do with ancient stuff, and my head of department wanted to use the word honour in the slogan, so i came up with the slogan "We don't fence for the money, but for honour and glory."
My original idea was "Aien Aristeuein : Ever to Excel". For me any of those is good. I did my part and the rest is up to the higher ups to decide.

Finally stopped Diablo. Yeah! But picked up Final Fantasy Tactics A2. =.=ll. Whats the point of stopping a game and start another?
