科大 2004 夏
HKUST 2004 Summer

Events ordered by date, almost.

再續 Robocon - continued

We are so tired after the match. 但不知是誰的好主意,我們大伙兒要在比賽翌日將 LG3 向 EMO 租用的停車場場地執拾好,將場地交還給 EMO。

We also ran into problem due to the money in July, as well as re-packing of the competition material. 唉,實在是糟透了。

Upgrade

Sound

又到了手痕厭錢多的日子,繼升級輸入裝置後,這次買了一個 Headphone。

I bought this Sony MDR-7506 online. Even it has to be shipped from US, it's still cheaper from local retailer that sells "water-goods" of 7506. 這個型號的耳機在電台和錄音室也很常用呢,事實上也真的不錯。

Wireless and System

家裏的 Pentium 2 系統隨著那個 10,000 rpm 硬碟死亡而退役。我又有籍口去升級家裏的電腦系統。

I have bought a Linksys WRT54G, hacked with OpenWRT. Also a VIA C3 based computer with Debian Linux installed as server. Details to be carried on another page.

夏季的堂課 Summer Courses

本來登記了 ELEC 214 (Communication Systems) 和 ELEC 301 (CMOS VLSI Design) 的,但因手術期衝突和其他問題,最後把 301 退選了。Sigh, the grades in summer courses are usually good, and it turns out to be true, so unhappy to miss the chance.

Playing + Summer Courses = Summer life.

外遊 - 曼谷 Bangkok

適逢哥哥從美國返來,我跟他和媽媽到了曼谷自遊行。Our objective is to enjoy the trip and get out from pressure in Hong Kong, not to wake up at 7 and rush to next stopping point.

因為經濟環境的差異,錢到了泰國突然增值了好幾倍。我們出入都是乘的士,吃的都是到大酒店,消費的都是到較高級的地方去。

Oh, a snapshot from McDonald's.

ELEC 254 的準備

下一個學期要修一科很特別的課,就是 ELEC 254。This is an project-based course. My summer course friend and me were shooting for A+ in the course, and started planning the project in late August.

由於一般是以三個人為一組,輾轉間接納了另一位同學的加入。Frankly speaking, her ability is not that high, and we doubted if she can follow our progress.
