Blog September 2007

Yesterday, even I had one class, but I had a number of long appointments. I am deadly tired. After I finished my only class at 11:20 AM, I was working on STAT 231 at SLC until 2:30 PM. The work was supposed to be not so long but it was. Luckily, Chin helped me out quite a lot.

While I left Chin alone in SLC to meet my teammates, I called Preaw to inform about DVD sales in SLC. Well, I actually didn't intend to call but just left her a message.

From 2:30 PM to 4:45 PM, I was working on my OS assignment. It was fun. I have never enjoyed working with the other people before. It is kinda good feeling.

After OS meeting, I was about to go home to work on my statistics assignment and I tried to leave a message to Preaw not to call me back just because I called her in the afternoon but she answered the phone. I was kinda happy a bit to get to talk to her. While we were having a wonderful talking together and I was about to reached the bus stop, she mentioned about her problem with Microsoft Office 2007 not removable. So, without thinking I asked her to go to her room and allow me take a look at it. Well, that was my first time to ask a younger girl to go to her place. Anyways, I went to meet her and just made some system restoration. We talked quite long even I'd finished solve the problem. I think I've a good time chatting with her.

After that I met Chin again. He and I were in the similar situation "finish your work or lost your mark". However, he left around 11:30 PM, letting me continue my work until today's morning.

Today was really UNPRODUCTIVE. I again went to all classes but slept all the time. Eventually, before my last lecture, I talked to the prof that I was deadly tired and I couldn't stay up any longer... and asked him where I should read to catch up the class. I went back home after that and went toward to bed slept until 8:30 PM.

Before writing this I called Preaw again to ask her if I can copy her Thai music because mine is damn old.

I think this is an unavoidable fortune. Happiness and Sadness combine together.

I think if I have more time, I might have done this as I graduated because writting the kernel consumes a huge amount of time.

However,� after� having� done� a� lot� of� research� on� web� frameworks,� the� other four candidates� finally� show� up...

As� now,� I'm� doing� a� lot� of� research� on� five� languages:� C++, Perl,� PHP� 6,� Python� 2.4+,� Ruby� 1.9+� and� Java� 6.

C++� is� the� strongest� in� many fields (e.g. flexibility,� cross-platform� etc.) but� weakest� in� the� term� of� web� development� because� it� is� made� for� multi-purpose� uses.

Perl� is� also� the� second� strongest� in� many� fields� but� very� weak� in� the� term� of� complication� of� style� of� coding.

PHP� 5+� is� the� strongest� in� the� term� of� web� development� but� weakest� in� the� term� of� security.� In� addition,� it� lacks� of� unicode� support� (UTF-8).

Python� 2.4+� is� also� strong� in� many� fields,� especially� many� APIs.� However,� it� is� the� same� as� C++� in� web� programming.� Even� though� it� has� built-in� APIs� for� web� development,� it� is� still� not� easy� AT� ALL� to� use.

Ruby� 1.9...� I� haven't� done� research� yet.� But� Java...� man!� I� don't� like� to� use� it� though...

Right� now,� I� rank� in� this� order� (most� interested� to� less� interested):� Ruby,� Perl,� PHP,� Python, Java,� C++.
