I'm still waiting for my data mining program to finish running. Yea i think it's gonna be quite kickass cos i've found a better model fit compared to our initial run of results. Let's hope this run churns out something more promising as well.

Anyways, i'm introducing this program called Process Tamer to all your programming pple. We all know how much the com slows down whenever we run a big program, or do some rendering work, or rip/convert mp3s. What your computer does is actually just allocating all it's resources to the resource hungry program, thereby slowing all the other stuff that u might wanna do.

Process Tamer essentially redistributes the computer resources evenly, so u can carry on surfing net and watch a movie while your 100 page long code runs in the background. So there's no need to run programs in the Stats Lab anymore, you can always do it on your own com without compromising your other activities.

Think you guys are smart enough to google for the program yourself eh? It's free btw.

I cut a slit across both my blisters today. Just so that the green grass oil can get inside the blister. Sadistic i know, but they hurt so bad today that drastic times call for drastic measures. Green Grass Oil = GG Oil. It's really quite GG when i dropped 1 drop onto the blister. But of course it's tolerable, just stings quite bad. I guess when you grow older u can tolerate more stuff.

I guess i'm gonna be out of action for 1 week ba. Can't really walk properly now, so dun think i can go shoot either. I wonder how am i gonna go school tml. Hmm. But i have to, cos tml got ES quiz. Hope it's easy, or at least i can tikam correctly.
I feel quite productive today, cos while running my code, i devoured my entire ES textbook, though not really reading very carefully. But at least i did accomplish something and i'm happy abt that.

Was listening to my interview with Johnson, he was kinda asking me abt the order of importance of my time usage, which i listed: Shirui, Studies, Friends and Personal time. But lately, it seems like personal time has overtaken friends. Good in a way i guess, i feel i have more control nowadays.

Guitar Update: Lesson 21-23: Learning the Notes/New Notes, New Keys/Moving Between Forms.

The first 2 lessons were kinda redundant, cos it's stuff i'm continually doing throughout this "course". So i skipped those, and moved to the last one. The lesson is, like it said, all on moving between forms. But it's still mostly on the sliding scales, cos it's the tool used to help us move between forms. Yeap so it's another sliding scale studying concealed to look like something else.

Some pretty nice licks in this lesson i must say. More examples using slide instead of bend to accentuate the notes. There's a lick on double stops, which is quite tasty, and another one that involves quite a number of string skips. It's probably the trickest lick in the entire book so far.

Again the entire lesson of 6 licks took up the designated hour and a little more. No time for review once again. Maybe it's becos i'm really putting in the effort to play the licks as properly as possible, though i feel that 1 lesson a day is abit too rush. Should give it more time let the licks settle in. Now it's like a learn, play, perfect, forget cycle.
(at this point in time Google fails on me, and the rest of the post gets eaten away)
Anyways check this band. It's crazy. I'm so in love with it. Avant-garde metal?


Good night.
