Finally, Jeanne is out of the hospital. Last Monday, she had a vomiting spell and diarrhea so, that night, we decided to take her to there. After an interview, the pedia ordered her confined and so that’s where we spent the next three days and nights. They ran some tests and they think it was a virus which is quite common with kids. They gave her a generic treatment regime and an IV drip to prevent dehydration. She seem to have responded well and the doctor allowed her discharge today. Just as well since she was becoming bored and cranky being stuck to a very small radius within the bed. Now on to the birthday celebration!
The prize value is P574M. The chance of winning is 1 in 29M. The value of a chance to win is therefore P574M x 1/29M = P19.79. Close enough. So off goes P20 :P
Finally completed downloading the Starcraft II installer as well as all the patches. I was able to download everything overnight, much less time than I initially expected. Due to the 1GB per day limit to its “unlimited” surfing, it would have taken a few days at an estimated cost of P200. So I decided to use Globe’s time-based browsing which is P5 for 15 mins or P20 per hour. Total cost is about the same at P200 but with no usage limit. You would think postpaid is not a complete failure until you realize that time-based browsing is also available with prepaid. Anyway, looks like I’m now late in finishing Red Dead Redemption. Gotta double time on that now.
UPDATE: Still haven’t finished Red Dead Redemption. But couldn’t resist the urge and played a few missions :D
Back in high school, friends and classmates would tease me as being AB for Abnormal. During college and the first few years of work, friends and a colleague or two would tease me as being OT for Autistic. All done in jest, I’m sure. The teasing petered off as I settled down with work in the IT industry where AB and OT is the practical norm. Maybe people just grew up. Or maybe because I got more senior :P But once in a while, some people still tell me I’m insensitive. On a whim, I took this online test and I got a whooping 35! Maybe I should go see a specialist and know what gives. I just might find out I’m an aspie or autie. Boy, would I be glad!
Since I’ve recently decided to study iPhone programming and and since Starcraft II is still a few days away, I was able to spend some time learning Objective-C, the programming language of choice for iPhone development. Since, I’ve gone through quite a few programming languages (LOGO, BASIC, Pascal, C, some C++, Java, and more recently Flex), picking up the syntax and the basics was a relative breeze. I expect, as usual, things will get exciting once I start working with the iOS APIs. Haven’t felt this excited in a while!
