[Bad-at-maths tax...] Someone once said that the lottery is a tax we impose on people who are bad at maths.  Just look at the people standing in line to pay the tax. When I was in NUS, I sometimes had to download journal articles for project purposes. Unless I'm mistaken, we weren't allowed to download an entire journal. We had to download them article by article. Every field has their own premier journal titles. There are several for computing/computer science, personally, I prefer the articles in practitioner journals. Short, more relevant and easier to read (and you don't need to know statistics). Since my current job has absolutely nothing to do with what I studied in school, it was important for me to be kept in the loop with regards to the latest happenings and developments because I see myself returning to IT/computing somewhere down the line. So I was very glad to see that my employer has a subscription to CACM. And this time, I could download the entire journal. Not the pissy article-by-article nonsense. I've downloaded all the issues for this year so far. Going to start reading them soon. ^^^ by Locksley @ 10:27 PM.

Broken for now. :( If anyone knows of a good way to display tweets without using Twitter's awful looking widgets, please let me know. Preferably something that allows me to retrieve my tweets in plain-text format.
Anything and everything under the sun. I write about my day, my thoughts, things I see in public, things to get off my chest, or sometimes just some senseless rants that make sense only to me. 30 year old male. Always with too many ideas in his head and too little time. For my 15 minutes of fame, I want to be a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman. Movies, TV, cycling, computers, planted tanks, cherry shrimps, P2P legal issues, Manchester United, WWE, TNA, UFC, etc... Best viewed @ 1280*1024 or above. Views are expressed are mine and mine only, and are not meant to offend or influence anyone. Designed for readers with a sense of humour. If you can't laugh at yourself, you probably won't like my style of humour. |
