Tomorrow (Saturday), I will be going with @lukasfoo (blog) to Sepang Go-Kart circuit next to the famous F1 circuit for an endurance race / challenge. Drive as many laps in a stipulated time.
Looks very tight. Haven’t tried it before. The only ones I tried is the Shah Alam Stadium, and the LITRAK circuit (airport highway). Nervous, yet excited.
Good news is, just need to be top 20 of the 30 teams to qualify for Sunday! Which will be another surprise contest; could be IQ / General knowledge challenge.
Very nice to have someone who has competitive go-kart experience. Just hope we don’t bump into someone like Hui Jing (Red Bull rookie). That would be super embarrassing!
Here’s a preview of Google Wave, an amazing piece of technology by Google.
This system really changes the way we communicate, and how we interact with the blogger, the commenter, the bystander and even the silent one. Should be publicly available early next year!
And today’s SIB service was good. We the cell were the hosts, and it was quite a nice experience. People were nice, and the food thereafter was decent!
And Telok Gong dinner was awsm.
Furthermore, Chelsea’s defeat and our slim victory brings Man Utd back to the top of the Table.
‘Grats to Arsenal too who is slowly climbing up the board.
Here is Lukas’ go kart experience earlier this month!
I learnt 3 things:
1. Video compression takes a lot of firepower. Rendering a 640×480 10 minute video takes about 40 minutes. No effects or editing whatsoever. Need Quad Core processors soon :) hehehe….
2. Streamyx is fast. I averaged 48KByte/sec upload throughout the 55MB upload. Amazing consistency. As for downloads, I can touch 160KB/s, and average 140KB/s. Oh, there’s no caps.
3. Solid State Drives (SSD) are very fast. By multiple factors. Like loading Win Vista takes 70 sec on a fast Core i7 system. But with SSD, that process completes in under 10 secs. Cons: Rm 1200 for 120GB?
You can compare yourself, [Awesome God - Youtube] or [Jordin Sparks - Youtube]
Anyway, Go Kart plan partially phailed today! There was a corporate event taking up the whole track the whole day. Wanted to go to the ELITE circuit but our Black Girl had plans with Grandma. Another time lah, I guess.
Result 2pm later Monday :) Excited on how many Credits I can get… hope I get at least 3 this time :)
