I am happy that I finished 1000 words essay this afternoon using 3 hours. Although there might not be rich for the content, but I finished it...OK, last essay finally. The grade of rough one of the 4th assignment was not good actually. I hope that I can do better this time. By the way, I was hesitating about whether to attend the tutorial for PHIL 144 this morning, since I got essay due this afternoon but TA for that course invite me to attend the tut last night through Facebook group. After I decided to go to that tut and took seat there, TA told me that it's a optional one. I thought I can take attendance there since I miss half of tut for this course. LOL!!!!

Time to get final exams!!!! Last week of this semester is kind of busy. Got 3 essays due these 3 days (Wed, Thur, Fri). So tired, since there is a dota league this months, so i have to sleep earlier and get up at 4:30 am these weeks. Yesterday i missed the game live show, cuz the essay due this afternoon was so hard to finish. Fortunately, I finished it on time:D

Next week is the last week of this semester, hope you guys ready for the final! Actually next week is very busy. I have three essays due next week, one due Wednesday, one Thursday and one Friday. So, this weekend will be very busy. In addition, I have a presentation next Tuesday for CMPT 470 group project. But the good news is, I just have one final this semester :D

Happy long weekend! Our group project is almost done! If you are interested in it, check previous blog for the ip address!
Guys, you know what, there is a essay in CMPT 470 this semester, it's not about the tech you used in the project, it's a reading report.. I can't believe it!!! I thought only 376 need to write essay for assignment.

Any guys played our web game? There are still some bugs there and some people said that our game is a bit hard to play. Since the tunnel is a bit narrow, so monsters and robot cannot pass it easily. We are considering to fix it and hope this can make you enjoy it. By the way, it's almost the end of this semester, I've seen that I have probably 5 essays to deal with, sigh...

03/24/2013

We've finished the main frame of our cpmt 470 group project. You can have a look at: http://cbrawn.monster_panic.jit.su/. We change the login interface and you can enter you name to give your monster/robot a name! Your score will be stored in our database and the highest score will be shown below the game interface! Challenge other players to get a higher score!

Got a team project due next Tuesday. It's about our multi-player web game "Robots and Monsters", a pacman-like web game. This time, we gonna add a login interface, database connect to game server to store scores, user icon and some new graphic changes. The old version of robots and monsters was a bit ugly, so we will make some change on the appearance. And database will store players score and highest score they played.

Happy weekend~! I feel better this week, because it's not a busy week. Although there are one essay and one programming assignment due this week, but they are not complicate. The essay is to convince a friend(assumed) that my favorite programming language is as good as his/her favorite or even better. We need to use Computer language benchmarks game to evaluate that the language is really good at some fields, such as running speed, memory cost and code size.

Happy weekend! Actually, all works done this week. Two essays and one presentation have been finished. Then I have many spare time this weekend. But there is a midterm next monday, so I gotta do a review for Phil 144. I missed a couple of classes for this course, cuz I have too many works to deal with this semester. And I also need to get ready for the CMPT 470 team project.

2013/02/26

I am gonna make a presentation in CMPT 470 class with my teammates. This presentation is about a technical evaluation of a framework/front-end/back-end technology. Our group decide to introduce the tech Node.js. It is a server-side software system designed for writing scalable internet applications. And this software is really fast since its engine is Google Chrome V8 (8 times faster than python). Actually, I hate presentation, because I don't like to talk too much to many audience looking at me (shy = =). But, I think what I've done in the presentation is fine. By the way, there is a link for a demo of Node.js which is web-based game created by our group. Link: http://cbrawn.monster_panic.jit.su/

I heard that there are many exercises today, but I missed the class... I got a bad cold today, so I sleep all day and feel better now. I hope that exercises today will not count too many credits!! I bought some food and fruits last night in extra food, and it was raining last night and I forgot to bring my umbrella. After took shower I felt a bit uncomfortable, and got cold this morning.

Busy week

It's a little bit busy these weeks. I have a CMPT 470 assignment due next thursday and a 1200 words essay due next monday. The assignment is to write a program about a store locater, which shows the location of the stores in the map and some detail information about them. For the essay due next week, actually I haven't read the topic about it, it should be something about science and philosophy. In addition, there is a presentation next tuesday about a tech evaluation of node.js. Too busy!!!!!

Mahjong

Last night, I played Mahjong with my friends. It's very interesting. Mahjong is a game that originated in China, commonly played by four players. While the single-player tile-matching game mahjong solitaire is familiar in the West, the four-player table version is predominant in Asia. Similar to the Western card game Rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy and calculation and involves a certain degree of chance.In different variants it has different tiles but it is always played by four players. There is little uniformity in the way Mahjong is played in various provinces in China and it is played in a different way in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. Traditional Chinese Mahjong is played with 144 tiles (including 8 flower/season tiles) and some variants incorporate just 136 tiles (without flower/season tiles which are optional tiles used to apply bonuses).

Reading break

I don't like this reading break. I have too much things to do in next 10~20 days. One essay for CMPT 376 and one essay for PHIL 144. There are 7~10 pages essay to do in this holiday. In addition, I have to learn something about node.js for our team in CMPT 470, we need to do a introduction and a demo to show how good it is in next class. Meanwhile, gotta find co-op and jobs, since it's the 4th year in sfu and almost done all my courses. Too busy!!!

Happy Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. In China, it is also known as the 'Spring Festival' to celebrate the coming of spring. The night before the Spring Festival, all family members come together, enjoy their foods and TV shows -- Spring Festival Gala. It is published by CCTV -- China Central Television. In that show, many famous singers and artists will perform their own shows. In addition, the most important thing is to  set off fireworks at midnight. Chinese people think fireworks can protect them from illness and bad luck. 

Workshop

I attend a all-in-one workshop today. It is about resume, cover letter and interview skills. It's interesting. I have learned something about how to organize your resume and cover letter and how to make them attractive to employer. And in the interview part, we did a lot of practices. We were asked to make an eye contact to your partner in 2 mins without looking around. That's kind of embarrassing, but it's really useful.

OMG

I have a CMPT 470 assignment due this afternoon, but I really don't know how to handle it. It's about a search in some api from facebook, twiter, flickers, youtube and yellowpage. What I need to program is a webpage when user type in some words in its search box and click on the search button, it will show some related information about it, including videos, messages or photos. I spent a long time to deal with it yesterday, but i still can't finish it.

Phil 144

I feel a bit regret picking phil 144 this semester. I thought that it is a 100 level course and it should be a easy one. However, this course is a bit tough to computing science student I think. There are two books for selected reading, each one has about 150 pages and I need to read these two books as well as the textbook to write two essays. I have cmpt 376 this semester,too. So, I will have 10 essays! sigh..............................

Pigs' heads

 There are some pigs' heads sold In the Kroger supermarket in USA recently. Don't be scared, it is one kind of food that can be cooked deliciously in China. It is popular in folk people for a long time. 

13/01/17

    I think I've missed a tutorial this morning. Actually, I got a message from sfu alert at 10 am, it's about sfu burnaby campus closed today due to the heavy snow. And I am very happy about that, since no class today. But, after two hours later, my roommate told me that it is a wrong message, because there is no snow in the campus and other students do not receive that message and attend the class whole day. I've heard that this tutorial may take attendance, sigh... 

    By the way, no ghosts last night, happy about that.  

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I got a bad dream last night, and that dream makes me think there are some ghosts in my room. Seriously, don't think I am kidding. I was dreaming about like talking with my friends, and someone was running towards me and knocking me down. Then he was jumping onto my body and keep jumping for a while. And I waked up and felt my shoulder and thigh were shaking. It's not like shaking for low temperature, it's like something was jumping on my body. That kept for a couple minutes and thanks god it stopped. I hope it was just muscle twitching.      (   Orz   )

Basketball

Friends ask me to play basketball tomorrow. Actually, I haven't play basketball for a really long time. I like basketball, like its passion and I think it is also a way to enhance friendship with my friends. But I don't like the feeling that people collide with each other, because I don't want get injured (lol).

first week in spring

I picked cmpt 470 on Monday. I've heard that 470 is course that very helpful to computing science student. And I am interested in the web things, hope this course will not be too hard. And I have already found a group, wish we can communicate much and try our best.
