一半

Two papers are gone, and I totally didn't sleep well these few days. My sleeping time is at morning to noon, everyday. Wow. Even though maybe I have slept around 6-8 hours, I still feel like... weird... Wow am I sleeping so late? Perhaps studying at night, or more precisely, midnight is my favour.

Just finish another paper. The second paper, which feels like its the first paper of this sem. Sigh. Its quite full-of past year, and all the answers are sharp and clear, they're in the slides of course. Just that I keep on forgetting those things. And I've studied quite a lot of things that didn't come out, memory is full of those... rubbish... There are 5 questions, and all are compulsory, so no other choice. Means that if really can't do one of them, then 10-15 marks are gone! So gone...

Studied whole night, and just slept around 30 minutes because of those bullshit noisiest. LOL. And in the end... died. @@

Forgetful

I forget to study, I forget to do so many things. Study week is almost gone, today is the last day, and tomorrow is my first paper. I need good luck, give me good luck! These two days I have terrible sleeping time, almost from afternoon till evening, then stay up all night. Studying, but sometimes can't really concentrate. All these boring subjects, I wonder why should I take them. Almost lose my direction, lose myself too. But this isn't really the first time I feel so, take it easy, and deal with it, I've told myself.

Good luck, to me, and all my friends.

Week for studying

My blogspot reading list is getting bored. So few updates by my friends out there. I wonder, is blogging really not that popular among my friends? Haha.

So for this semester, I'm sitting for 4 papers, respectively on 25 April, 28 April, 3 May and 5 May. This study week, truly, I'm quite normal. Usually my study week will be my time for new phones, that's my ugly schedule, but I keep repeating it. Proudly to say, this semester, not (yet).

So few outings too, compared to the past study weeks. I'm not paying hundred percent attention on studies too. Just that, I'm too poor to hang out. Opps. Haha!

Yo, someone is complaining that I put most of my stuff on web. I agree too. Ok, I'll try my best to filter and control (behave) myself on Facebook and here. Lesser posts related to personal stuffs. Hehe. So, let's talk about general stuffs, hope that won't be boring. Hehe.

House stuff, hope that we can settle it soon, as well as furnitures too. =D

Immediately after final paper then I'll be going home, to rest maybe 1 week, then come back again for internship. Yes, finally it comes... Hope it will be great and interesting!

晴天

编排得有点乱。

Pottery就这样草草了事,感觉都没做到什么。Product也因为IP的关系而没法拿出来摆在摊子,难免有点失望。算是完成的作品偏偏派不上用场。我不想怪罪IP,因为我知道,我并没融入其中。当天九点到五点,我选择发呆,面对一切的烂情况和废话,我需要很高的EQ。最难过的事,即将过去。最难挨的时刻,就这样。坦言这一年因为种种关系导致我在这个科目里并没有真正受益,没学到什么东西。就是一个,错,字。有种感觉我还真的不适合这一行,也许是因为全天下对IP的重视度,(在FB句句关于IP,总被挂在嘴边),搞到我完全感觉不到我原来是跟他们同一个科系的,好笑ing。

Facebook的正面status?这几天心情也总算大起大落。我不要别人来评论我,不如先问问自己有没有资格。我只想说,这几天也非常的累。对,我没有IP做,因为沟通的关系,然而我不想把问题说得太清,或者太过绝对。错的一方永远不会知道自己有错,除非有人点醒。我知道自己有错,可是我也知道只有自己这么脆弱,这么的想。每个人想的东西毕竟不同,每个人要的东西不同,每个人的处事方式也不同,每个人的思维判断逻辑更是有着很大的分别。那几天我睡得不好,不懂我的人应该认为我这么这么的得空,应该完全很自由,很享受才对。我只能说,外界看的,都是隔层莎,雾里看花。然而人总爱道听途说,自己不知道却要硬硬说得头头是道。看好戏就有他们的份。难听的话,自己不知道发生什么事麻烦你们就先搞好自己组的事情,嘴巴静点我不笑你们是哑巴的。我能说什么,承认自己无能,也承认这个世界上什么样的人都有。沟通这门事,我搞不好了,我尽力了。可是一只手掌是拍不响的,要的是机会,单方面怎么可能会有“配合”?我宁愿自己有机会去工作坊割伤弄淤我的手,也不想听那些流言蜚语。精神上的打击,这不是我要的结果,是被制造出来的玩笑。

已经很婉转了。

晴天,赶快来。

HD2 -> HD7

Sounds interesting! Finally few months of waiting and research, I've decided to try to flash my HD2 to LEO70 Rom, which is firstly developed by DFT and published on XDA Forum by HD2Owner. Few hours ago, I've tried version 1.03, and now I'm using the latest version 1.04. Basically I just choose this rom randomly, as there're still some different rom out there. Anyway, just try my luck.

But it isn't really just TRY, it will totally format my SD card, ie. all memory will be gone, and, my WinMo 6.5 Energy Rom will be gone too. I need to back up all the contacts, but its okay, I always did it. Just that if I want to go back to 6.5, I need to re-install and re-setting all the stuff inside.

These will really take me lots of time, as I want it to be perfect all the time... Haha! That is why I'm not dare to flash new rom. But my 6.5 memory is getting low and I don't know why, maybe the dump memory and files are getting more, so I've decided to format it, hence, I flash it.

Just in case, I use another SD card to try out Windows Phone 7 rom. Don't forget I still have Android MCCM HD V4.0 Desire HD rom on the other hand, I'll still need it. My extra SD card is only a 2GB card. WP7 is very choosy about the SD card being used, but luckily my 2GB old SD card still works like a charm in WP7. In fact, it is really smooth!

So I read through as many articles as I can before flashing it to WP7. Installation guide is easy. Developers seem have provided everything. Firstly, just plug in my HD2 in 6.5 through USB Active Sync connection, then install MAGLDR and LEO70. The process is very fast too! (Sorry I'm not providing the step-by-step guide, the guides are everywhere so just google it~)

Installation of DWT.exe (LEO70)

The computer's side. DFT!

So after the whole process finish (about few minutes), my HD2 reboots with original Energy start-up screen, then it will automatically booted into MAGLDR for couples of seconds. And, here it goes! HTC boot screen, and Windows Phone Logo!



I'm really excited when I see this! Yey, Windows Phone 7 is started! I almost shouted and jumped at room, but my roommate was sleeping la... hahahah!

HD2 T8585 -> HD7 T9292


Of course there're still some settings to be done...


So, finally I've booted my HD2 into HD7. Err, not really HD7 because it is LEO70 build, a Windows Phone 7 rom. Until now, I've used it around 20 hours, less than a day. There're of course some problem still. Some are the problem of HD2-ported-rom itself, and some are the cons of WP7. The main problem is the bad camera. It has no autofocus, the settings are very very little and limited. There're green tint if using flash to capture photos. And overall the colour tone of image produced are blur and not sharp. 5MP camera is totally spoilt. BUT, the video camera is getting me a big surprise! It can record 720P video like a charm, quite smooth too. Continuous auto focus is there, just that it is a bit dark, but I think it is normal for a phone. The video camera has done its part, hehe..

The key mapping of the physical buttons are quite weird. I keep on pressing the wrong buttons and it ends up going here and there, Bing Search and IE. Errrm. The volume is too loud although I've set it to be 1 over 30. Wow, but I guess it is way better than the volume is too low then. So, the sound/speaker quality is not that inspiring too.

No marketplace access. It prompts me to insert an Windows Live activation code which I don't have. Sigh. I must get one from Microsoft to get it works. Same for the Hotmail synchronizing, XBox services, Live services. I'm still on the way to figure out how to install the signed XAP application files which I have downloaded, as I have no access to Marketplace to download new and useful apps and games.

Overall the OS and UI is really smooth and simple. It can be said as limited too, too few things on a phone, compared to its older production like WinMo 6.5 (which has too much things on a phone). The tiles homescreen design is indeed very intuitive and user friendly. I love the sweep my fingers left and right to view more. It responds very fast as I simply touch or press buttons, big thumb!

From idle to wake up, I just need to press Power button once, it responds very fast too, unlike in the Android builds. The transition animation is nice, the theme can be changed into different colours to avoid bore. The Zune player, the music+video gallery are new and I love browsing my media and music library using it. People Hub gathers all the contacts from my email accounts, and Facebook accounts too, they links it all.

Another thing that I just learn is how to use Zune. I have to install this to build a connection between the phone and computer. After few trial (how noob am I...), I finally know how to use it to transfer all my media files among my HD2/7 and my computer, including photos, videos, and music.

Hope that battery drainage won't be serious on my phone. Haha. Otherwise, I really enjoy it! Thanks for all the guides on XDA forum and Youtube of course. Hahaha...

Settled

And finally the photo editing has came to an end. Glad. I was playing around with PS, and learnt quite a lot from friends. Although in the end I might not get any realistic results such as final exam. I felt like I have learnt a lot, the most important thing is I'm happy with this hobby. Photography rocks!! People around might can't understand this, as they can't understand when something comes out to be so beautiful, I feel so contented. Wow, I say like I've taken some great photos. But I know I'm not, I'm always still learning. And counting down the days until now, I have my 1000D with me around 9 months. Yes it is still below a year. A speedlite has helped me a lot, especially in the recent MATB2 dinner. Looking back on my first year, I was using cameraphone, second year I was using digital camera. So of course the photo quality is getting better. I love this kind of memory. Clear, and vibrant. Although this time I'm still unable to use the speedlite in a proper way, causing some failed shots with weird lighting. It's much better than shaky and blurred photos. Some photos are still out of focus, hehe. So, the chosen photos are already all uploaded on Facebook. A complete album that takes me few days to finish it. A small achievement for me. Haha...

I wish I'll have another chance to take part in such dinner again...

I want to have better photos always... Haha!

So this is the last MATB2 in my life, guess so...

Quite satisfied with it, except for the food. Nice hotel, enjoy the night too.

Today started the week 13, wow the final exam is damn near right now! My week 12 is really holiday-ed. Outings, shopping, online. Without paying any attention on my studies. Luckily I don't really lack behind. Yes the whole world out there is doing IP.

Saturday's rolling-out-there is quite crazy and without much plan. Spent some money but in the end I get some new experience only, those places aren't really nice. Hahaha...

I would look forward for the next time, for better venues. Haha!
