Here's what my room looks like at present. I took it with a phone's camera. Most of you already know which phone this is - and only a few of you do not. What do you guys think of my room?
I Use a Remote With My Mac
I happen to use a remote control device with my PowerBook G4. It looks like this:
Yes, it happens to be a Wii Remote. Does it work well? Yes. Am I crazy? No. A Wii Remote happens to be quite the worthy investment. It works with a Wii. It works with my Mac. Two devices for the price of one?
Here's the real puzzle - do I have a Wii?
rei's Odd Habits When Studying
While it's not really odd, since I think so many of us students do it, but I think most of our parents will easily find this odd. 1. Listening to loud or noisy music while studying. 2. Chatting with friends while studying. 3. Watching TV while studying. 4. Typing out assignments while eating, snacking, drinking, talking on the phone, PSP gaming, making trips to the kitchen, dunking biscuits into a hot drink, and so on.... 5. Pen spinning. 6. Constantly checking your e-mail even though you know nothing is there. (Occasionally, someone might pass you tips, you'd never know. 7. Not write out your assignment/homework until about a week (or even hours) before its due. 8. Sit around doing nothing. (actually you are deep in thought, but you look like you are actually flying around into dream land) 9. Burn the midnight oil. (Even if you didn't have to.) 10. Write out blog posts like this about odd things you do. (which aren't really odd) 11. Watch anime. 12. Watch TV shows. 13. Watch movies. 14. Watch... your watch. (or clock, or PDA, or phone, or - I think you get the point) 15. Take 12 hours to do what would have taken you ordinarily 1 hour to complete. 16. Start clearing your desk, which hasn't been cleared for like the last half a year, when your assignment is due tomorrow. 17. Start clearing (similarly) your room, apartment, toilet, cabinet, closet or bed. 18. 'Suffer' from insomnia due to anxiety for the day after tomorrow's exam paper. (and playing... let's say DotA during this period) 19. Begin to hack your PC, PSP, XBox, GameCube, Wii or anything you can think of just because you don't feel like doing work. 20. Attempt to optimize your BitTorrent download because you think the max bandwidth of your Internet connection isn't high enough. 21. (and the list goes on....)
Believe it or not, the above work took me 1 day and 14 hours from me reading the question to me writing a 3 paragraph answer.
(On another note, this happens to be post number 404 in WordPress - and my camera is actually pretty good at taking photos, contrary to my belief.)
A Look into cfgt's Cupboard of Tricks
I know you can see the mess of cables there. I'm not a very neat person to begin with when it comes to cables. I fully intended to use a shorter cable instead of the blue one, but that got lent out a few days ago. :P
Among the cables are: 2 CAT5e cables with RJ45 heads, 2 power adapters, 1 plug converter, 1 XBox controller and 1 XBox AV cable (needed for it to boot without FRAGging (flashing red and green)).
The XBox is a fully working LAMP and SAMBA server, running Torrentflux so that I can move my laptop around (and out of) the house without fear of having missed so many hours of torrenting. :D It still does work as an ordinary XBox, and yes it still plays games. :D
Another thing in the picture is a NETGEAR WGR614 wireless router. While it is a router, I am currently just using it as a wireless switch because my Netcomm NB5 modem comes with a router feature. (I believe in separation of power, or what most people might call spreading the load - whatever.)
And that's only one shelf in the cupboard. Anyone want to venture a guess into what else is in it?
Settling Down in a New Place
Honestly speaking, it's taking pretty long to get comfortable in my new place. I've set up my torrentflux xbox, my modem, wireless router and my speakers and printers up. However, I still lack a damn fridge. :( I still don't really have much to say. I intended to take plenty of photos of the place, but at the end of it I haven't taken any photos and don't really care. At some point, u238 will do it, so I don't think I should do it redundantly with my much weaker camera.
On another note, I've acquired a Wii Remote... to use as a remote. :D
(I'll try to make one post per week, if possible. For now, I'm trying to find a job. If you happen to know of one suitable for me in Melbourne, please do tell. :P)
