Fuiyo.. Concepts (as in Concepts of Maths) was very not intuitive today. I feel so dumb compared to that math major girl who's taking the course with us. Prof. Grossberg introduced to us Well Ordering Principle (W.O.P.) to us. The definition seems infinitive and to the dumb like, it seems trivial. It states the existence of a minimum value in a non-empty set of numbers. Am I right? Correct me if I'm wrong. When he delved into proving the theorem that the Induction Principle = W.O.P, that's when I started to get dizzy. Suppose this.. suppose that...



I finally got the Indy machine running. Last Monday, Bo and I carted a free 19" SGI Monitor from the kind and helpful SCS Help Desk. This afternoon, the guy who donated the Indy to me came and resetted the root password and he taught a few basic stuff about Irix and Unix in generally. It's just a 166 Mhz machine built around 10 years ago but it is so well built that I can call it a product that has been over-engineered. The light blue casing is very solid. In fact, more solid than any PC casing I've seen. The CPU thin is thin too. The interesting part about this machine is its boot tune. When you turn on this Indy, you can here this tada sound.... I still have a lot to read about this IRIX. Apprarently, there are still user groups on IRIX 6.2 which might be helpful. Yet to set up the network as well. I intend to run this as a simple web server. Most probably this site will be hosted on that machine instead on my CMU Andrew web space.



After Arun left, I dashed to Hammershlag to help Seng Keat and friends move his things to his new dorm room at Morewood. Then I got a call from someone whom I'm borrowing a piece of software from so I had to leave Seng Keat before even meeting him (emm.. weird statement).



Then it started to rain heavily with the thunders and lightning.



This sucks. I'm stuck in Cyert waiting for the thunderstorm to go away. Killing time by writing a blog. Huh...
