Distributed Computing

I send my application for my Masters to IPS (Institute Pengajian Siswazah), USM last few weeks. Just got the reply card. Looking at my study leave application, seems that I have to accompany my course outline with the form.

Migrating from Bachelor degrees to Masters-a lot of term that is 'alien' to me=
  • independent study
  • research
I choose 'Distributed Computing' as my area of specialization. Reasons? I always like the idea how computers can improve human's health, figuring out how to compute complex algorithm of certain medical disease calculation. One project that still run on my machine, and will run until I don't want(or Allah-for sure) it to run is;

Folding Project

Though the project's code is not available, I put trust for my machine to run this stuff. Nice. But I wasn't sure whether it's actually run the said calculation or I am helping CIA to track world's wanted terrorist. Duh.

Hopefully I can do excellent research on this stuff for my masters. Long way to go, I called IPS USM and they said; start at July 2006.

Sigh.

Beijing and image manipulation addict Salam, Image manipulation with command line is fun and time consuming too. Given my Digikam plugins unable to work, I start to figure out many wonderful features of other tool which offer almost the same quality. However I was stucked with ImageMagick,with many tutorial on the net: Here and Here for i in *jpg ;do convert -font helvetica -fill white -pointsize 18 -draw 'text 10,50 "ACM-ICPC Beijing 2005"' $i $i;done The pix above shows a heater to heat up guest room during ACM-ICPC competition. (outside building's temperature is almost 4 celcious).
