- as seen on Fark. Mr. Ham disapproves.  Top Row: Old Philips 190B, depressed button circled Bottom Row: Promo images of the Samsung SyncMaster B2330 Well, this week was mostly spent rushing the project for the speech processing module (worth 50% of the total score), and I daresay I did a decent job in just four days - having a deadline concentrates the mind wonderfully. Unfortunately, this probably won't help me break my habit of procrastination. Other key observations: Notepad++ has the word wrap feature, there are situations where writing a script and manually editing data takes about the same time (in the best traditions of Buridan's ass), the Internet has better recipes sometimes, and a large portion of reports is regurgitation of background knowledge, which can't be helped. In the process, my three-and-a-half year old Philips 190B 19-inch monitor began operating its on-screen display buttons by itself again as I applied the finishing touches to my project report, which if not debilitating, was certainly very annoying. If I weren't receiving a stipend, I might have sucked it up and attempted to beat some sense into it, which works more often than it should on recalcitrant electronics (one just has to know where to pummel them), but as things are now, I figured that a new monitor would be a good investment. Hey, it's a work-related expense. My uncle ended up picking up the 23-inch Samsung SyncMaster B2330 from IMM at S$298, less than half the S$650 I (actually, my dad) spent for the Philips back in 2006. Due to its width, I thought that its screen was shorter than the old monitor on first sight, but some measuring tape affirmed that both were equally tall - but the new monitor is about 14cm longer, which is quite a lot. Kind of miss the adjustable stand that the Philips had (see top right of image), however. Some initial teething troubles with the touch-sensitive buttons aside, the display of the Samsung just seemed a little blurry at a resolution of 1280 x 768, which was the widescreen equivalent of my usual 1024 x 768. After some experimentation, no less fervent that those connected to my module project, I was resigned to the fact that LCD screens simply look by far the greatest at their native resolution - which in the case of the Samsung, is a whopping 1920 x 1080. Sure, the text may be tiny, but so what if it's tack sharp? Come to think of it, as my monitors have grown in size from fifteen to seventeen to nineteen and now twenty-three inches, my display resolution has likewise moved from good old 640 x 480 to 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768 and now to 1900 x 1028, with the effect that the larger my display size got, the smaller the average text size (in absolute terms) became. If this continues, one day I'll be reading a three-foot screen with a magnifying glass. Still, I'll probably get used to it in short order. Of course, one can zoom in on web browsers and most applications, and resize windows quickly with the Win+Arrow keyboard shortcut, but it just seems strange when 100% doesn't work as the default. At least I won't be running out of taskbar space. As though it thought that it was an opportune time to retire too, the A4Tech X7 mouse that I got about the same time as the old monitor, started playing up too. With click-and-drag actions becoming double-clicks, and the mouse wheel skipping gears, it was indeed time for it to go. Out came the Logitech wireless mouse that came as a set with my latest keyboard (kept under wraps as the X7 just felt right)... only for me to discover that it emits an annoying squeak with each left-click. Mr. Ham came out to persuade his relative to keep the noise levels down, but to no effect. Seems like a new mouse will be on my shopping list after the exams. World Cup update - receiving free-to-air signals from Malaysia and Indonesia by antenna is perfectly legal, says the Straits Times - but IPTV is not. Last week was a dream week for United, as they beat City with a last-gasp Scholes goal, and Spurs, yes Spurs, took both Arsenal and Chelsea down. What were the chances of that? Three rounds of matches to go... $50 on Manchester United to draw Tottenham (at 4.00) - not that unlikely, sadly $50 on Sunderland to beat Hull City (2.98) Next: Quals Over
