Smoothwall keeps freaking blocking more and more things... Just today, it forces Youtube Safety: On... interesting... They blocked Youtube history...


You can try viewing videos through posting the link and viewing the preview in Facebook...


NTLM Authentication bla bla bla was added... I can't even access internet through Realplayer ??? I have no idea what to use for login 'Windows Security'


Internet will be disastrous from today onwards...



SO pissed off now... I can't even view pictures /videos on Facebook ??? zzz

Looks like it's reduced in functionality.
Google's site certificate is not trusted and I can't access any Google website -.-

F12 Berlinetta

WTH? I just messed up the last question in C2. Spent too much time on trig graphs :|




Physics--- I couldn't do it...


Friday 23 March 2012

OK I seem to be able to login on Facebook mobile and Skype is working.



DAMN I floundered through Biology...
LOL the internet keeps changing. Just now, Facebook and Youtube was blocked. (At about 4-5pm) I don't know what has been done. NOW, I can't even use other applications except web browsing -.- No Skype.
On the Samsung GSII, no Facebook app, no Google Play, no Twitter. Only some things  worked like: Currency app, Bloomberg, BBC, News

This is confusing. Previously, on my Samsung, I could access the Facebook and twitter app without  logging in.(Although the Facebook app was reduced in functionality) Now, there is no way to access the apps, because the problem is with the network and not the phone. Web browsers seem to be the only things that work



Interestingly, I can sign in to Skype on the Samsung...
The Skype on my laptop is suggesting that the Wi-Fi network is private/closed.

Biology tomorrow....
Gahhhhh Physics ISA was ok. I think I did better this time.




AS English: I totally wrote 6 paragraphs of waffle. Not kidding... The first text: Advertisement for Amnesty International Credit Card... I didn't like that. I chose the speech by then Prime Minister Tony Blair.


The people sitting on the right: ELLA 1--- like a boss.
The people sitting on the furthest right: Spanish...

Friday 16 March 2012

Ok the commentary is done, finally. I handed it in 2 minutes before 4pm, like a boss. lol

Now: The power point ._.


Physics ISA and Biology EMPA later today...
I can't believe there are some inter boarding house games a day before Biology 1 -.-

AS English? I'm doing more of Economics/Business... :| Oh the irony is unbearable...

SHARP EL-W506

Yea, I picked up my calculator from the mailroom. It came on the 13th of March and it was ordered online on the 11th of March. Cool. Excellent service.. . SHARP EL-W506. The W for WriteView.
The display is a bit wider. The solar panel... great. It is supposed to have 556 functions. The menu in the calculator looks really complicated. Need some time to get used to. Of course, this model has differentiation, integration, log to any base, Summation, Matrix etc... The coolest feature: CNST, the constant button. All the useful constants.... Really useful in Physics, if you don't have a data sheet. It also has a conversion function. It even has index notation prefixes just in case you can't remember them. WriteView is impressive, but it is NOT designed for speed. So, I'd rather turn that off if I need fast results.

The EL-W506 is slightly longer than the EL-506WS.Some buttons have a different location.
For the colour wise, the EL-W506 is Black and the EL-506WS I have seems to be dark blue.
If I ever buy football boots,

NIKE TIEMPO LEGEND IV ELITE



----looks pretty nice.
Price is erm... not.
What the ????    

£275.00  Are you kidding, twice as expensive as the non-elite model. I guess the carbon fiber is expensive.


OK, maybe 

NIKE TIEMPO FLIGHT ... cheaper, £85.00 (but still it's quite pricey)

I was thinking of something under £40. I could buy the Adidas F10 TRX FG. haha (I have the Adidas F10 IN) If I buy the same colour---slime + white with blue stripes... lol that's matching. 


Very funny the price difference between the F10 and F50 is huge !!! OK I have looked at the F50s before. They are so ridiculously light.


The Tiempo IV Elite should be interesting with kangaroo leather... supposedly the leather with the highest tensile strength.

OMG WHAT?

Sony TX1 vs Samsung Galaxy S II

The Samsung Galaxy performed decently.

Complaints:
*Auto-focus in video mode is quite crappy. (Doesn't focus very well)
*Exposure was not satisfactory. (too bright...everything was white... have to configure it manually to get better results)
*It's really hard to take still pictures with this camera.
*Zoom function was too abrupt.
*I was worried the microphone couldn't handle the noise level of the drums... sure enough.

*The Full HD 1080 doesn't really mean anything in terms of quality.


The Sony TX1, on the other hand,
*had 'outstanding low-light performance' as claimed by the manufacturer.
*Decent auto-focus in video mode. (Excellent in still picture mode)
*Microphone is not bad.
*Exposure is quite good
* Ergonomic(unlike the Galaxy)



I would like to try the Sony NEX-7 (It's really expensive for a mirror-less interchangeable lens camera)
About £1000. OMG -.- That can buy a decent and proper 'full-frame' DSLR.
If I were to record live shows, I could use an NEX 5/7 with an external microphone.

The latest one is the:

Canon EOS 5D Mark III



COOL... Only £3000...

They use an ALLEN & HEATH mixer. Good brand... English. There is a stereo overhead microphone. (pointing in different directions)... don't know if it really works.


There was a single foldback speaker (stage monitor). At least there was 1. 
They did seem to use electro/electro-acoustic instruments. The first electro-acoustic guitar performance: it was connected to the speakers. There might be a DI box. There were also subsequent performances involving electro-acoustic guitars. There was a electric bass guitar. That was connected to an amp directly.


This concert doesn't seem to require the extensive use of microphones... haha.

Crap this S1...
Not very nice.


At least, Chemistry was better.


LOL I keep having problems with the new '£50 note'. LOL today I was buying a doner kebab and I gave the 'new £50 note' The store owner was quite surprised. he even used a marker to test the note, held it against the light... bla bla bla... All staring in amazement... 'It's new, we've never seen it before.' LOL the irony... You must be rich... zzz seriously? Is it that uncommon?

I had the SAME problem 2 weeks ago at ASDA. The cashier was like 'feels funny' *asks for assistance* It's all right, probably new... I had no problems the first time at ASDA.




I like how the teller at Barclays made no comment whatsoever about the £50 notes. It's like*gladly accepts-the more the better.



HAHAHA bad service at HSBC.... the premier banking looks better.
LOL there seems to have a lot of problem with HSBC, pertaining to their cards.


=================================================
Black Maserati Gran Turismo
Classic Bentley Mulsanne
Modern bentley
Black Porsche Panamera S
Black Audi A7


Lol why are all the nice cars in Black?


Surprisingly, the Mercedes Benz C is not very common. In Singapore, everyone has a C/E -class.(literally)

They drive Fords too. Opel  (Vauxhall as it is know in the UK) is common. The Insignia is not bad.

Diesel cars are ok, except that the engine sounds distinctively different.
