Temperament

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Wikipedia says that “In psychology, temperament is the innate aspect of an individual’s personality.” I agree.

and then it blabbers on to further state that “Temperament is defined as that part of the personality which is genetically based. Along with character, and those aspects acquired through learning, the two together are said to constitute personality.” - and that’s where I start to dispute facts Wink

For one, it actually feels great to be able to wake up naturally, without any external sources which intervene in your sleep by incessantly ringing, or buzzing, or playing some silly tune. It’s 6.20am now, and the last time I ever woke up this early by myself was probably during the holidays last semester. During that period of time, my temperament really wasn’t as rash as it was now, hence, I’ll attribute this change to the amount of shut-eye you get, then.

No, really, the sleeping part doesn’t hold much weightage - it’s more of what one can do based on that temperament to mess things up. Notice the plural to the word “thing” being used, eh?

Last week itself, I have successfully messed up ties with quite a few organizations, including, but not limited to: IDA (the guys who are incharge of your Internet in Singapore), a production studio affiliated with MediaCorp , and one of our very own RP’s diploma chairs.

The “How” part to the question is even more interesting - I just called them over by phone, and threw words in the form of glass shards at them. You could very possibly hear the pling and plang of those shards being randomly mis-fired at those people.

..as for the “Why” part, it was simply because these 3 organizations decided to work together to pull me off a national competition with a real big prize. They gave all kinds of crappy reasons, such as “unfairness” due to the fact that I had familiarity in certain areas of expertise, but I do believe the true reason behind it was that they’re just biased against me.

It wouldn’t really look good for someone who deals with so much *REAL* stuff to totally smack some secondary school kids who can’t do IT stuff in the real world for nuts right on national TV, yes? Or maybe not.. Hmm. Still, having stepped on the toes of these 3 organizations does seem a little harsh, but what has to be done has to. *Sighs*

Still, it’s not entirely their fault for being so stringent on their decisions - minds can be changed, decisions can be reversed, but maybe its just that silly temperament of mine which kind of broke them a little - to the extent they were afraid. Not good =X

There, more evidence that the silly attitudes of me can screw things up again.

Anyways, I’m going back to juggling projects - got quite a few to work on again. Yell

WirelessTweak Released

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Guys/Gals:

REALLY SORRY for being missing from Yandao.com in a week or so after the competition thingy. Alot of things happened, people screwed me up, the school backstabbed me painfully, and I made quite alot of rash actions in my IG which had immense repercussions. Hence, I really do need time to sort those problems out.

As of now, the bulk of the problems should be mainly resolved, and I will resume regular (almost daily) posting really soon :)


Hmm.

Can’t connect to Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks?
Can’t change much of the wireless network settings?
Can’t do your experiments because the school make things cockup?

*Yawn* And they thought it was uncrackable. Awww.

Anyways, here’s WirelessTweak for you all - now you can remove the restriction (Wireless Group Policy) that Republic Polytechnic’s network gurus forced upon your poor, docile, laptops.

How sweet of them, don’t you think so? ;)

Yes, this is an Inter-Polytechnic Competition organized IN RP. Hence, RP MUST WIN!

Come show your support for RP, and the humble creator of Yandao.com - Kelvin, and then maybe he will have more ideas once he collects the prizes :) Oh, and more ideas are good, because that also means more CE talks, and more workshops about hacking, too. Aiyah, more everything can already.

For those who’re interested, the competition is some IT Networking competition with SUPER MUCH prize money. The sponsors must be CRAZY! (in a positive way, of course!)
