It’s 5.25am now and I’ve just finished my 90th page of my thesis. Due in another 34 hours. I still need to print and bind it as well.

So so tired. Can’t wait till this is over.

Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus – Philippians 3:13-14

Feel like that now, hehe. Different from how Paul intended it to be though but nonetheless, handing in this thesis seems like a heavenly prize (but its not really!).

I’ve posted another thriller video previously if you haven’t seen it. But here’s another!

Sheer brilliance.

Since last week I’ve been waking up at horrendous hours (i.e. 11am-pm) and sleeping similarly as well (2-5am). My routine begins with waking up, getting some breakfast and perhaps read some stuff online. Would probably waste an hour or so.

Then for the next 8-10 hours I stare at the computer screen, clicking and typing away with the occasional break. My shoulders are sore, my wrists feel a bit cramped, and my eyes feeling lifeless. I have a slight pulsating headache as well.

I can’t remember the last time I talked to my friends (I do, but its a figure of speech) and went out to get some fresh air and sunlight. This is what it’s going to be like for the next 7+ days. It’s kind of depressing.

Almost finished coding. Now I’m in the debugging and testing stage. Not looking forward to writing up my entire thesis.

Finally the fruit goes open source.

I was leaning more towards getting an iPod Nano but now with Apple about to release a software development kit (SDK), I’m seriously considering the iPod Touch. The iPod Touch uses the same underlying architecture as the iPhone, which will be the first to have its software go open source.

What this means is that you can now have your favourite softwares installed onto your device. Word, Excel, Skype, Firefox and others will be available. I’m pretty sure someone will develop those softwares.

The iPod Touch comes at a hefty price though. $419 for the 8gb, and $549 for the 16gb whereas the Nano comes at $199 for the 4gb, and $279 for the 8gb.

Perhaps I should just wait till the price drops.
