After I started my degree  in Cyberjaya, I didn’t find any rooms or didn’t even apply for the hostel.
Currently staying in PJ in my uncle’s house. I’m still looking for a room in Cyberjaya for a reasonable price.
So I can’t actually apply for streamyx since they have a 1 year contract.

Luckily I had this DiGi Campus plan, where they are offering RM30 for unlimited data usage.
So i decided to give it a try, and by the way, the speed is not bad. Not fast , not slow !!

OK, first of all, your phone should have a modem function.
You can either connect it through bluetooth or your phone cable to USB.
The easiest is bluetooth because, it will find the modem and its driver automatically.

Once you have connected your phone to your computer, you should have a new modem in your computer.
All we need now is just a dialer. Go to Network Connection and create a new connection.
Create a dial up connection with the number *99#. Make sure that your dialer is using the modem from your phone.
This dialer doesn’t have a username or a password.

Thats all !! Just click connect and you now have internet on the computer.

Note : You must have your GPRS activated & GPRS setting correct in your mobile phone in order to use this on your computer.

Had some trouble in registering my subjects but the FIT administration helped me out and solved my problem easily. Went for a few classes and looks like my Digital Systems lecturer is moving with the speed of 8 GB ram and a quad core. She completed quite a number of things in the first class.

Currently waiting for my Database Systems lecturer in a lab.
The internet here is kinda fast.
This is a screen shot of a speed test from the lab :

The dancer seems to be clockwise and also anti-clockwise.
This is called optical illusion.

Have a closer look and enjoy yourself.

Most computer users or university students would have heard this terms like Linux, Ubuntu or open source but they never really knew what is it actually. I’m not a pro but just want to give some glance on something which is out of Windows. I read this quote somewhere on the net and its kinda cool.

This world has got no walls or fences, so why do we need “Windows” and “Gates” ??

Actually, Bill Gates and Microsoft has done a great job in this tech industry. Just that Microsoft doesn’t really care about the local market in smaller countries. An average person will think twice to spend money on the latest Windows softwares. So, lets just look outside the Windows !!

OK, what is open source ? Open source means softwares which are developed by software developers and they release the software with the source codes. This means others can actually understand how the software actually works by looking at the source codes. By getting the source codes, all we need to do is compile it using a compiler and it becomes a software. So in this way, the software is FREE. The developer will set a certain rules on using the codes which is given out, and we can use the source codes to suit our need.  So by editing the codes, we can create a program which best suit our needs using a basic structure.

Now I guess you understand what is open source. Linux is an open source, where programmers write codes for the kernel and stuff. Kernel is the core of a operating system. So, since it is open source many other people takes Linux codes to produce other softwares such as RedHat, OpenSuse, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu and much more !! They create software according to their needs like server, desktops and more.

Ubuntu is a operating system which is derived from another operating system called Debian. It was created for the ease of users to use Linux with less usage of commands and also without viruses !! It is slightly less user friendly compared to Windows, but its very powerful and secure. The only sad thing is, hardware developers like ATI, Creative and much more, they do not want to give total support for Linux users. So this causes difficulity for Linux users to write own codes for hardware drivers. But don’t ever look down on a Linux programmer !! They can even create drivers for a hardware which they didnt creat.

For a start, give a try to Ubuntu. You can just place your order directly from Ubuntu and they’ll send you the CD right to your home. I know, I know, you can’t wait right ? Then, just download it from their server and burn it into a disc. As easy as that !!

So I hope, this would help in understanding these terms. Next I’ll be posting some images regarding the desktop in Ubuntu and also the graphical software which is called Compiz. Have fun trying out open source softwares !!

All the best to all my friends in MMU !!

These are the screenshots of my visual basic project before submitting it :

Both together

I’ve always wanted to create something where others can benefit. Finally I’ve manage to create this simple alarm for everyone to use.

Guys, download it, use it and have fun !!

And guess why it is released on this day and why is it special ??
Because… today is my BIRTHDAY !!!! I’m 18 now !!!
So, Andrew and Drewbuzz Alarm is born on the same date !!

1. Maths Quiz – Tomorrow
2. Maths Assignment – By Friday
3. Visual Basic Project – By Friday
4. Need to study for finals !!

Haiz…so many things but so little time. Who said uni life is fun ??!!

Drewbuzz Alarm !! Outcome of a little hardwork.. As I’ve said in the previous post, I’ve been cracking my head to find out codes to complete this alarm program. Finally, I have completed this visual basic project. I finalized the project and waiting to release it soon. Decided to release the beta version of my software on 25th of September. Don’t forget to come back and download it. Hope everything is fine even when I submit this project to my lecturer.

Nah, i didn’t mean the orientation. Its just the time I’m having now.  Nothing better to do !!
Currently I’m in MMU undergoing my orientation program. It is kinda fun at times and also boring sometimes. The briefing is important but the way its being presented makes me sleep.

And I also remember during school days, the teachers will ask us to keep quiet or jangan bising…but here its totally different !! Our orientation leaders are asking us to make noise and talk with the others since we are all new to the environment.

Now I’m just sitting and looking here and there in my room. Anyways, lets see how the whole thing goes… Still got about 3 days of orientation !! Haiz…

Now after a 6 months break, have to start studying back a another few weeks. June is the MMU intake and I’ll be joining MMU for Foundation in Information Technology. Hope I can achieve something in it and make it up in my life !!
