Life Goes On

Week 12, Semester 4

One of the busiest week ever: 1 assessment on Monday; 2 assignment due and 1 presentation on Wednesday. More free towards the end of week but yet still need to prepare for quiz and assignments due on the following week. There was also Google Code Jam 2015 Qualification Round in which I passed. One more thing: I passed the Phase 2 of Wikimania 2015 “scholarship” application! :) …

Week 11, Semester 4

There were lots of deadlines at Week 12 and. There was a long weekend but then I was still busy as I joined a Hackathon over the weekend and hence my school stuffs were postponed till I finished it. This week also marked the last NTUBS event of the semester. …

July 2014 (2)

21 July 2014

This week is the 2nd week before CNS 2014. I started the week with a relaxing pace but it ended with a such busy and tiring one as in Saturday and Sunday, the committees had a trial camp of CNS 2014 from morning till night. …

Busy week

10 July 2013

This half-week has been a busy week.

On Monday, I did coding (almost) full-time, from morning till night. The results? My LM2 project is almost as functional as the first LM project. I haven’t implemented “Forgot password”, “Edit password”, “news”-things, “comments/discussions via Disqus”, “manage user”, and “delete/ban user” features. Looks like quite a lot, but I will try to finish them by 20 July. Go! Go! Go!

My progress on Kingdom Hearts 2 FM+ has been slow down by the increasing LM2 coding spirit. Now, I have completed Agrabah and will revisit Halloween/Christmas Town.

This week too I have encounter wmflabs and got an idea to host my POTD selection tool there. It was complicated: not just upload things like normal web hosting services. Instead, it was connect to their server via shell (which was another program on my Windows machine, called putty and winscp). I got help from a guy working at WMF because I contacted him via email about my problem. The problem was just recently resolved because I reached out WikimediaLabs IRC channel and a guy called “Petrb” helped me figure out what is the problem. Now it was all up and running at tools.wmflabs.org/idwiki-gpu

Today, I went out to hang out with my friends (Leonard, Golfin, Edward, Lenny, Roselyn, Vicky and Jessica) at Sun Plaza. It may be our last time hanging out together, maybe the next ones will be called reunion.

On entertainment, I have re-watched Detective Conan Movie 6: The Phantom of Baker Streets, which have a good story but quite bad at the clarity of the images, maybe because it was produced long time ago.

Overall, this half-week was very fun.

Holiday progress

6 June 2013

On 1 June 2013, I got my report card and National Examination results. I got the 6th rank in my class. The results of National Exam was fairly good, the average was 9.00. My Indonesian language score was the worst from the others: 76.00, I don’t know why, but that’s it and I don’t mind it.

3 June 2013 was the photo session with Mr. Johnson and his students. We travelled to Hillpark Sibolangit (beside Greenhill). First when we arrived there, it was cloudy then it showered lightly. In the afternoon, the weather was very clear and hot but near evening it became cloudy and rained lightly. We took photos in many spots including the entrance gate, the interior of the building, and the merry-go-round attraction. We had our lunch at Sehati, Bandar Baru. After we went back to Medan, we had our dinner at Bakmi Guangzhou, Polonia before went back to our meeting point at Johnson Bimbel. At night when we arrived at Johnson Bimbel, it was raining heavily.

5 June 2013, in the afternoon, I, Peter, Golfin, Charlie, and Tommy went to GOR Veteran to play badminton. This time was quite crowded. It was very tiring after we played.

This week is the 5th week of my Introduction to Psychology course at coursera; also my second week of First-Year Composition 2.0. Overall I’m doing well but I must manage my time to do all the activities there.

My project of LM2 seemed to be halted for a while. The side-project, LM2C, which was LM2 but written in CodeIgniter framework had a design change: I implemented Twitter Bootstrap there. I’m concerned about POTD selection at Indonesian Wikipedia and I’m starting a new small project to facilitate the selection process.
