So I stumbled upon an old class photo, and I mentioned to cfgt that our high school class was filled with overachievers.

YesIt’s been a while since I last posted a desktop picture (the last time, I posted a picture of the dining table. Previous times were of my desk back in Malaysia). I realize I haven’t posted pictures of my current desk, so here it is:

Short rant. I was doing some work earlier. Then out of a sudden, my PC BSOD’d on me. So, fine. I can always continue my work on the Ubuntu laptop (though by then I had lost about 4 hours of work) while my Vista machine scans itself for errors.

So.. Google launched their own satellite, with a GeoEye 1 camera on board. Think of all the things they can do now. As one commenter on Valleywag said, just attach a Advanced Tactical Laser, and you practically have a low powered Death Star waiting to kill anyone with pinpoint accuracy.

The Week That Was

Let’s have a look back at the week that was, for me…
Busy!!
I had 2 exams on monday, Game Theory and Advanced Macroeconomics. GT was very doable, while I think I may have failed my Macro exam (who the hell thinks of why rich countries are rich and why poor countries are poor anyways?1).
