the day of the bouncing heads

dragged myself up for early lecture this morning... then meeting was an hour after that. first session with the supervisor took an hour! gee and to think i didn't expect we have much to talk about. then after that was another hour in the library meeting room. and i got home to do my work.

i would now like to rant and complain. why oh why did we get these group members. we kind of deserved it for rushing into it. first off the minutes sucked. i mean, we did most of the typing! well alright, jason did most of the typing. primarily because despite us having a meeting to talk about the format for the minutes, some of them went to do different things, change colors... for what right? don't they know what is "standardisation" called? another thing about them was that their english sucked. try to use profound words inappropriately. including mundane items in the minutes. not following structure of minutes. apparently they haven't been going through communication skill lessons of any sort. who would list down the summary of an agenda without going through the details of the agenda topics? redundant man!

and we had decided to come up with a different web page design each for the client. we encouraged them to try even though they weren't experienced in this. they did. except we had miscommunication. at least it was on their part. the big picture was we needed 2 websites: one for the main gist of the project for the client, another for the project website to be used as presentation and grading. they had misinterpreted the requirements to be one single site. result? they designed a crappy 3 page(we asked for 3 pages) site that mixes things from the main site and the project site. all in all, it sucked. all 3 of them sucked. we just smiled and played along. one of them was under the impression that we were able to use integrated development environments to create nice looking designs for us. he thought we didn't have to rack our brains or get inspiration to do the work. the program does it all for us! wow if only...

oh well. we'll play along for now. so anyway that aside, i'm done ranting for now. i managed to finish off the bloody assignment! yes at last! and got it printed out as well too! so amazing. a simple assignment(i suppose so) that has 6 tasks amounts up to 22 pages of content! how bizarre!

so yes i'm done with one big portion and happy for a while. so to celebrate, let's all bob our heads up and down and up and down repeatedly to signify this uplifting occasion! TADA!








alright let's do it one more time!!! ENCORE!!!





now you know why i put that title. :P oh yes MSN Messenger 7.0 is officially out. no more beta!
