Multi-Media

In 2 more months our institution is going to hold our very first convocation. It's a real big @$$ deal. I'm not sure what it means to me, but what I know is that I'd be involved with the multimedia part of the whole thing with some of my other colleagues who are also part of our technical staff. The first trial for this multimedia team was our Head of Department's Award. It was decided that it was going to be made more like a convocation style. The day passed nicely. Only bad thing was, I wasn't told about any of this, especially the part that I was actually with the multimedia team.

A little introduction and comment on video control console

Concentration and discussions

More explanation of the video control console

Anyway, the next day, we had our last day of our multimedia course. But, this time, I was told about it. So, I joined in on the course. After hearing comment on the day before by 3 guest lecturers, I was impressed with what they said. There were more good comments than bad ones. During the course, even got to learn about some new equipments that was bought in lieu with the convocation. Video camera control consoles. Nice. Somehow seemed like something a big tv company would use for TV shows.

Anyway, now I finally know which part I'm involved with and heard that there's going to be a team building course in the near future for all technical staffs. That's good.

Lastly, Thank You to the guest lecturers for all their help and guidance throughout the whole duration of the course. We will do our best.

Meetings

Meetings,Meetings,Meetings. There's always meetings being held. Doesn't matter what company you work at, meetings will always be held. Bonus question, Why does meetings have to be so long??

This meeting started at 3pm-530pm.

Longest I've been in a meeting was two and a half years ago. The meeting actually lasted from 830am, all the way to 6pm. And I was there doing nothing. To some, It might be fun to just sit and do nothing at all, but for me, it was a real waste of my time. Seriously, 2 hours is already long enough for me. Right??

Fire Drill-erz

30/07/08. That's the date for the 1st ever fire drill being held in our institution. At first we thought that it was just meant for the students, but since this time it was for real, so, all of us went along and went straight to the assembly area.

Students in the hot sun, Staffs in the shade.

As you can see in the picture, the middle are is empty. This was because it was reserved for supporting departments. There were 2. The fire department Officer that arrived declared that all the staff in those 2 departments as "Fried to death", even though they were actually at the assembly grounds. Reason? they were all sitting at the grandstand while the students were on the field. Officially, we were all supposed to be on the field. I guess during emergencies like this fire drill, students were still considered lower than than the staffs. no equalities. But wont they be considered as equals when they get burnt to a crisp?

People and POWER... Something you can never separate. That's life.

Sabterdeyz

It's coming close to 4am in the morning and I'm adding another one for phuck.

last week was a full blown OT week for me. Had to format/ghost a whole department and all it's 600+ Pc's. Next week's a registration week for new students.

finally done with our work at 12am

Installed the latest version of Ubuntu which is 8.04 LTS. Real cool interface. Reminds me of Mac OSX. Nice...

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Well, that's all for now folks! Gunite for now! Muaks!

Overcome the layzee

It's a new month already and I'm updating an entry at 3am in the morning. somehow have some better idea when I'm updating at this time of the day.

What I'm gonna talk about is wonderment. "What does it mean?" you say? Don't ask me. All I can say about that word is that I'm wondering about something and It's been haunting me for quite some time now.

If you're wondering what's keeping me awake at this late hour. Meet Mr. Crackpot:

try looking past the plastic

So now, back to my WONDERMENT. This item is purely IT based. So, anyone who might know how to help out or give me some suggestions or ideas, please feel free to do so.

no more Mr. Pau

I'm currently wondering about the so called water cooled PC system would be better than the conventional air cooled system. As from my previous entry, you can see that my PC is encased in Mr. Pau. But because of some rather disturbing overheating issues I had while my pc was running in the case, I just had to move it out of the freakin box back into a conventional computer case (which I've drilled in as much hole as I can to make way for better air flow for my radiator).

WaterCooling Setup

And now that it's in the pc casing, I've installed my Water Cooling System, which consists of a custom CPU water block, a Thermaltake radiator + 120mm fan and a Nirox 2800 pump. All and all, everything installed and running through my CPU, I still can't get the desired temperature that I've heard so much of where some even come close to 20C.

the radiator

Mine somehow, remained at 40~45C during Idle but rose consistantly from 63~65C during 100% load and kept on going. I'm not sure what's the suitable temp for the CPU, but what I've read, I should try and keep it below 60~65C at load. And this is with a Water Cooled setup. So, what am I doing wrong here?

the Hidden fan

My wild guess is that because my pump is in my water tank, it kept heating up the water during pumping cycle, so, when it reaches the radiator, the water could only be cooled down to just 40~45C. Is that a good thing? Somehow feel a little uneasy.

So please, anyone, ENLIGHTEN me! tell me something I don't know or doing wrong.

P/s: I'm using a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (OverClocked to a steady 3.0GHz).
