will sort out my digicam pix soon... and also thot of a new concept for e site.. stay tuned!

anyhow had another horrendous day in front of e routers in e lab. (theyre those flat rack-mounted things u see in pictures of servers..) trying in vain to get them up. erase config (erase start), reload, reconfigure, ping a few times to test, shake head in dismay, repeat. anyhow after 3h we got a different instruction.. changed e settings and lo and behold it worked! after e initial euphoria wore off we soon found ourselves on NetMeeting playing win, lose or draw...

its really quite fascinating how these routers n stuff are alternately simple & complex - surprisingly complex cos all we ever do is click on a link and pages will just load at the snap of a finger, nobody ever really knows whats happening inside, complex also cos its daunting; simple cos after a while everything makes sense- just like the funny subnet mask number on your com (Run -> ipconfig).. too much of a bother to go into details here- if anybodys interested beep me ill explain it. as best as i can, at any rate!

e esplanade's opening later tonight, sounds like a pretty big thing, and wat am i doing? hunched over e com with a ton of work on my mind. it feels just like school again.. somehow i just dont feel satisfied going thru this poly phase - i noe my frens are enjoying themselves to e max every day (and wind up snoozing away in class), heck theyre even intending to go down to watch e festivities - i just wind up sleeping all night, waking up tired, and getting nothing done in e meantime. zero computer games, too. something's just missing from this picture! maybe im just ill.

(2nd on my list of priorities, after e premiere video-editing, is a 4k wd essay on Military ethics, values & esprit de corps. thats enough to make me sick!)

malaise setting in again. guess thats all for now then.
