I’m clean!

Dear all,

I’ve just received a call several minutes ago from RP’s discipline master, whom stated the following matters:

  • RP’s principal has ordered an investigation by the Student Discipline Committee in regards to this photo database. I’m to go down tomorrow at 9.30AM for a brief chat
  • I’m pretty much “thought” to have “hacked” into RP’s system to obtain such information on the classes and students
  • They’re wondering if I’ve ever hacked LEO and/or the UT system the CE Point system

They also highlighted the following matters which I fully comprehend and agree:

  • Public viewing of student photos and classes are indeed a concern for the school
  • What kind of “data” is actually stored inside the database?
  • Disclosure of methodology of obtaining such information

I do belief in more ways than one that I am possibly held under suspicion for academic grading purposes.

For the matter of full disclosure, I shall disclose that I’ve accumulated a combined GPA of 3.98 (1 less combination than the perfect GPA) over all 3 years and that *all* the facilitators who have graded my daily attendance can attest to the exact correct grade given.

As a sign of co-operation and goodwill, the database will be suspended voluntarily till further notice. There will be no requests to “search” stuff entertained via IM or e-mail.

I hope for your understanding and your patience.

Edit: Looks like I had some facts on the phone wrong. I’ve been requested to discuss how we can proceed from here – some details still very touchy now, so they’ll remain “closed” for now. PLEASE do not reply with vulgarities – I understand where the school is coming from on this.

Your Sincerely,

Kelvin Leong

Well, my good ol’ buddy, Hong Yi, pasted me this video – and my first impression was that, wow, amazing cinematography. Apparently, after watching it, it’s WAYYYY more than that!

Yay! It’s here, it’s here! AY09/10 Sem 1 Photo DB!

Hahaha, OMG. *melts* – literally.

You guys are STILL refreshing the pages at 3AM in hope that I’ll update? Sheesh, I see like 20-30 constant refreshes on the site.

I GIVE IN. YOU WIN. PFFFFFFT.

Okay okay, I’d truly be an asshole if I didn’t update. So…. there you go! UPDATED!

(as usual, to get there, use the button on top to get to what u’re looking for)

Yes yes, I know some features are missing, but then right, my dearest readers, you must also understand it’s now 4.13AM and that my bed is more tempting.

…UNLESS you bribe me with one Ultimate Mocha from Coffee Bean or a Venti Java Chip from Starbucks.

..and give me a reason why I should run the Photo Database ’09?

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Well, I’ve just got home from a long day at work, and I found my server frozen stiff with crazy loads at almost midnight.

** RANT MODE ON **

Oh, it was last year’s Photo Database application – some of you guys were trying to get “it” to display this year’s stuff – but apparently LEO changed stuff so the scripts got frozen and caused the server to crash. BRRR.

Okay, so now that I’ve graduated, and that everyone I (do) know personally has graduated – and that the school’s management has changed (and I don’t know/have no ties with anyone “up” there) – my question is simple:

Give me a good reason why I should continue running the Photo Database at the expense of risking myself when I’m no longer in RP.

No, really, I’m serious.
