Ten Forward

OMG the staff lounge at SFU Surrey on the 14th floor is named Ten Forward! Hurrah for Star Trek fanboys :).

Forsberg Falls

It's not as bad as Patrick Stefan, but Forsberg FELL down in a OT shoot-out tonight; he didn't even get a shot off. I hope someone will post it on Youtube soon I can link it here. Haha the Preds made a great trade eh?

Canucks won again tonight! w00t go Canucks go!!! And the same for me with regard to all my midterms next week!

iTunes Snafu

Apparently it's still year of the dog according to Apple :).

Busy Chinese New Year

I don't recall ever feeling this swamped in Chinese New Year. Acma445 midterm on Tuesday and a HUGE math348 assignment due on the 28th that I'm *supposed to try to finish by Wednesday--fat chance of that happening, I'm only about half way there. Moreover, Bus316, Acma315,, and Math348 midterms are in the next next week too, so it will be an absolutely dreadful new year.

I really hate dynamic programming. It's basically tracing out every possibility in a systematic way to find the optimal solution. It's a frigging pain in the ass to do by hand!!!

Oh my brother bought a Wii!!! It's an awesome little system that totally tired my arms out after three hours. I love golfing, boxing, and bowling. After midterms I'll go Wii-mote hunting.

HAPPY YEAR OF THE PIG!!! 恭喜發財, 事事如意, 心想事成.

Oh my. A cute tech journalist:

What's new in Excel 2007?

Emphasis added by me:

Import, organize, and explore massive data sets within significantly expanded spreadsheets.

Work with massive amounts of data in Office Excel 2007, which supports spreadsheets that can be up to 1 million rows by 16,000 columns. In addition to the bigger grid, Office Excel 2007 supports multicore processor platforms for faster calculation of formula-intense spreadsheets.

Oooo... ahhh... the little actuary inside me is excited.

Bookmark necklace

Today in the library I saw a girl wearing that funky arrow-shaped bookmark that SFU was handing out at last year's Open House. She wore it around her neck like a necklace--like everyone else during that day at the Open House. She was talking on the phone and I didn't really want to burst her bubble by telling her that you are wearing a bookmark around your neck *insert a Nelson Ha-ha here.

Anyways, this got a chuckle out of me today. Something else amused me today as well. What's with people being freaked out by a little bit of rain!?! It's H2O, you drink it; you need it; it's an ubiquitous substance! What's so scary about it!?! *Sigh... Hongers are too sheltered.
