Relax, It's Good for You

Helo, Peter Chao heerrzzz.... STILL ALIVE OVER HERE

Ignore that, the majority have now more or less successfully survived a long week of assessments of varying quality. Yes, AMC was weird and the score sheet says I got 37 (this is unspeakable: rnts are gonna kill me again for failing on the 'easy' test), and Science was at best ambiguous. Also, being 13th for speech wasn't fun... not only was I after a speech on god, the next 3/4 were on the same topic -_-'

It's probably been quite a while since my pater has done maths at school, yet his skill in the topic surpasses mine exponentially. When we get back the 2010 papers (which we are meant to be entitled to), I'm gonna give him 80% of the normal time, and he will still finish or full marks +1 -_- While most of us just learn the formulas, understand them etc, he actually has crazy intuition and solves stuff with the basics. He doesn't even use the quadratic formula or distance formula for that last non-calc question :O instead, just similar triangles.

For all you IT geeks out there (and of concern to common folk): everyone knows that you can use Wireless Access points (APs), often using a password, to access the Internet right? And some of you may know that using a password or credential means the network (traffic between computer and AP) is encrypted right? Well, a long time ago the geeks knew you could crack WEP in about 3 minutes on a good day, but only some know that WPA (and its variants besides WPA2 or WPA-AES) is now also easily cracked?
tl;dr - upgrade to WPA2, or else destroy your router.

I might be one of the few people who get their first music player device (Walkmans/iPods, that is) before their first mobile phone. I still haven't used mine yet, and now I have a pretty good reason to "ethically source" some more music, in a P2P fashion.

I'm now considering the ditching of SDD for Eco in L5, although previously I had thought of switching from Legal to Physics in L6 while switching from Phys to Eco in L4. The reasoning is this: I have reconsidered my choices and find that I should have done Eco. Even if I don't get something, my pater will explain it nice and simple in 2 hours. I mean, when your doing foreign exchange and not losing money, you must be pretty pro at economical stuff, right?

Anyways, new poll up there, and why do soo many (well 4) insist on hippy hair

Time to start Human Rights issues / take a warm shower for the bones
