Happy Halloween!

I hope you all had lots of fun on Halloween. Trick or treating, enjoying yourselves with friends, eating tasty candies. Exploding pumpkins. Having a blast.

As for me...
zzzzZZZZZzzzz...

Its just work after work. I don't have much time to do much else.

I even stopped watching animes and games D: !
The world has ended for me D: !!

Midterm time anyway. Atleast its nearly over. Though after that are final projects, followed closely by final exams. =_=;;

I'll try to drop in some time with a post about a more relevant topic. Until then I'll leave with a few things I found over the internet while I was busy working away.

Lots of other news that happened over the past several weeks. I would advise you readers to be regularly keeping track of your interests (even if it may seem irrelevant). Afterall, you don't want to be some boring stranger on the street right? ;)

Since I'm studying analytical instrumentation, I'll post an interesting fact from our prof.

The first digital computer was called the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer). First made in 1946. It was made up of 17468 vacuum tubes, 7200 crystal diodes, 1500 relays, 70000 resistors, 10000 capacitors. It weighs ~27 tons and takes up 63 meters cubed (2.6m x 0.9m x 26m)! It takes 160kW and only lasted 116h before errors occurred.

WOW !

We have advanced in computational instruments so much. We should be proud. Though I said that, don't forget to go outside once in a while to get some fresh air and exercise!

Expand your horizons, I always say! ;)
