Schrödinger's cat

E-mail Print PDF

In 1935, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger devised an experiment where he puts a cat along with a vial of poison, which may be broken at random thus killing the cat, in a sealed room/box. When the box is sealed, the cat in the room can be thought to be simultaneously dead and alive hence creating the paradox when we know in fact the cat can only be either dead or alive.

Point is... in life most of the time until we open our box, our cat is both dead and alive. Been in a situation like this? I learnt about this in the Big Bang Theory first season which I watched last night.

Dungeon Hunter & Starcraft 2 on the iPad

E-mail Print PDF
Read this on mashable today. It's going to be a blast and finally a game worth playing. Having completed (getting stuck on a game bug) Heavy Mach 2, the game I'm on now is Dungeon Hunter. It's basically Diablo with the touch controller rather than the mouse and no multi-player capability and way less skill combos. Like most hack and slash games, usually 1 skill takes you 90% of the way, so no biggie.


Anyway here's an excerpt from the article on Starcraft 2 wonder is the multi-player is linked with the pc version and will pad players. All you know pad players might dominate the next WCG.

Playing popular strategy game Starcraft 2 using an iPhone or even an iPad sounds like a usability nightmare, but developer Daniel Hellerman is planning to make it happen regardless of the potential issues.Hellerman is working on an iOS application called the Starcraft 2 Gameboard that will let you fully control Starcraft 2 from your iPhone or iPad, complete with "mini-map control, detailed unit statistics, and easy touch access to the game's most important hotkeys and macros,"

新不了情 - 蕭敬騰

E-mail Print PDF


心若倦了泪也干了
这份深情难舍难了
曾经拥有天荒地老
已不见你暮暮与朝朝
这一份情永远难了
愿来世还能再度拥抱
爱你的人如何厮守到老
怎样面对一切我不知道
回忆过去痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来拨动我心跳
爱你怎么能了今夜的你应该明了
缘难了情难了

iPad Review

E-mail Print PDF

After a week with my iPad 64Gb wifi only, I've finally gotten over the initial difficulty with the Apple and iTunes interface and the button which keeps closing my apps and returning me to the main screen when I really meant to back up or call the menu page. I had some of my apps wiped once when iTunes synced and deleted my apps. The most damaging part being I have to replay Plants vs Zombies, and that really sucks. Here's what I recommend.

First thing to do. Jailbreak the machine... Why should you do this? Just do it if you want to get access to apps and stuff like installous. What does this do? Google it. So head over to jailbreakme.com and follow the onscreen instructions.

A must get for people who are used to Multitasking

Backgrounder (from Cydia after you have jailbroken your iPad)

If you are used to multi-tasking and just can't stand your apps closing everytime you return to the main page. Get Backgrounder. My first 2 days without Backgrounder was really bad. I really thought that the iPad was a useless and expensive toy. But after I got this, I'm back in action. It's like having my books, and laptop on a 500gram device. It was really great. But this is only possible if you have jailbroken your iPad. Download this from Cydia

Favourite Productive Application

iBook/Singtel Account

It's a close tie between the 2 applications but I use iBook a lot more than the Singtel Account application. (Of Course, who's so psycho to keep checking on their bandwidth usage/phone bill.). I'm reading Game-Based Marketing on the iPad and it's proved to be really useful to have it on pdf and viewable on a large screen that turns on and off in a sec. If you are into reading, I highly recommend that you use the iPad and get all your books on pdf.

GBM

The good thing about the Singtel Account application is that I can check on my bandwidth usage in an instant. I've recently gotten the multi-SIM for my phone plan and will need to check that I'm not exceeding the 1Gb that I'm allowed. It'll cost about $1 for every 5Mb there after or something like that. It's really expensive and I paid $20 extra for exceeding on one month. Also read my post on multi-SIM subscription before you get yours.

Singtel

Favourite Game

Heavy Mach 2

Oh yes if you have the iPad, you will definitely play games. Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies etc... My favourite so far has been Heavy Mach 2. Relive my Battletech days. Come to think of it, someone should make a Battletech Boardgame on the iPad. In fact all the table top games like Lord of the Rings, Warhammer and stuff like that will fit really well on the iPad. Anyway, Heavy Mach is really a boys game. Mach up equip rocket launchers and tap away. Upgrade your Mach (the original term was Mech by the way) and blast town to town to complete your missions.

HM2

That's all for now. I've also pre-ordered my iPhone 4 and now waiting for it to arrive. I'm thinking about buying the Macbook and picking up some Objective C (I've gotten books downloaded to my iPad for that :) ). In the mean time, if you'll like something done on the iPhone/iPad. Feel free to contact me. I'll be able to fix up something with my buddy for you.

Multi-tasking

E-mail Print PDF

I got the iPad 64Gb wifi recently. Now I start to realise how much I am connected and multi-tasking, filling almost every second of my life with activities. The iPad comes with NO multi-tasking capability. Which means if I'm downloading an app, I cannot be doing anything else. Man... Took me like half a day to realise why my downloads keep failing. Not to mentione the convenient round button which returns me to the main page while conveniently closing whatever I was doing without saving has caused me a few frustrations.

But it's true, I now I realise how I'm like doing 10 things all at once while my mum/dad tries to talk to me at the same time (occasionally, I watch the TV as well, all at the same time). If they get multi-tasking on the iPad, I'll definitely get the 3G model. Until then... let me figure what this thing is good for.
