The new clamshell zaurus, the SL-C3000<\/a>, is scheduled to come out in Japan on November 10th. It now includes a 4GB microdrive in addition to the 128MB RAM and the arrow keys have been replaced by a joystick! Still no embedded wi-fi, though. Still… me wants it, me does. I wonder what kind of updates the software will receive. My suggestion: official support for Linux boxes and PIM syncing, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! The Register has some info in English<\/a>. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
I got flash objects working properly in Firefox again! My guess is that some artifact settings remained from my previous installations of Firefox and its extensions (flashblock<\/em>, in particular), which was preventing flash objects from being displayed. This was strange, because it wouldn’t even display the border of the flash object. The root account had no problems, of course; it never does. I did a couple things like deleting the ~\/.macromedia directory, and reinstalling the flash plugin everywhere I could think of, but what finally solved the problem (I think) was re-installing the flashblock extension and enabling<\/em> it. Oddly enough, not having flash for many months did not bother me that much. I also installed the gmail notifier extension<\/em>. Now I can click an icon in the Firefox statusbar to log in, and it displays the number of new mail I have in my inbox. Nifty.<\/div>\n
School is basically my life, right now. I’m in 5 courses, and here’s what I think of them:<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. 1st year Chemistry:<\/strong> I have to complete my lower-level requirements, and this is one of them. It’s okay, but it’s really time-consuming.<\/li>\n
  2. Statistics:<\/strong> I recently talked to a guy who said this was one of the hardest courses he took, and that he never fails exams, but he failed this one. Guess it’s time to start studying….<\/li>\n
  3. Computational Intelligence (AI):<\/strong> This course is alright. The instructor is from the US and is pretty funny when highlighting differences between Canada and the US.<\/li>\n
  4. Computer Animation:<\/strong> I’m in over my head with this course. Too much math I don’t remember or just don’t understand. I didn’t even finish the first real assignment. Too busy. I hope this course doesn’t kill me. I haven’t looked at Assignment 2 yet….<\/li>\n
  5. User Interface Design:<\/strong> I like this course. But there’s SO MUCH reading and the group project eats up a lot of time, as they usually do. Got a midterm coming up… but this is also the crunch time for our group’s project. Oh man… Ganbaro? \ud83d\ude41<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
