Aikido

Huh, just finished that damn paper an hour ago, still have to work on the reference, but I'll do it tomorrow.

Last week in the effort to meet more people, I took an afternoon Aikido class. I figured, the benefit would come twice, I meet new people, and learn self defense at the same time.
I always curious about Aikido, but never had the chance to try it until now. When I first came I just came and watch them train. My first impression was great! The movements are beautiful yet dangerous. It stress not on the style, but mainly on the movement, which I thought is good, because I hate memorizing style. The next week, I came and learn a few moves before they thought me how to fall without hitting the vital part. I manage, but still my body's aching all over the next day. But it was great, and I'm really looking forward on the next session.

Star Wars -> Computer ethic?

This semester we get this module that its purpose is to learn on how to make good academic papers. We learn things such as research, making references etc. The presentation of this module is quite unique IMO, but effective. Last week, they give us a fictional case about a factory robot who accidently killed its operator. In the case, there are five major character that supposedly responsible for the accidents. They are the CEO, the manager, the programmer, the tester of the robot company, and the operator himself. We were then divided into five groups and each group is assign to one character. Each group's task is to prosecute and defend the character on their part of the accidents. One could say that the CEO is responsible because he's the head of the company that produce the defect robot, the programmer is at fault because he's the one who produce the faulty software and soon.

This become alot of fun because some group present their case against a particular character like a lawyer in that court room drama movies. But my classmate Darren probably the best of the lot when he presents a case against the killed operator. He argue, that given the facts that he lacked the training and he's working in a dangerous enviroment, he should've reject on operating that robot in the first place. Then he gives the best example of the afternoon: "You all seen Star Wars right? We all remember when Luke Skywalker destroy the Death Star ship that were a threat to the universe. But have you ever think that he also killed innocents who work in the Death Star? . Cleaners, engineers, janitors, all those who probably never mean any harms but just happened to worked there. But does anybody accuse Luke other than a hero? No. That's because all those people who work there knows the consequences of working in an evil war ship like that. The operator should know that if he's incapable of working in such a dangerous environment, he should reject to operate the robot."

LOL! class, credits where its due.

cheers..

Lately

.. I've been ignoring that tagboard on the right and the comments you all loyal readers take the time to wrote down. So I take this post to reply those kind words.
For ruri: I really glad to hear that. Send my regards to Indra. I think he's a bit busy right now, I rarely find him online on YM. I'll send you e-mail later on.
For La Lune: How's the research on university going? I hope you find a good and not-to-expensive to continue your study.
For Saint: Huhuhu, I'm glad you clear up the problem with your bf. Everything's back all nice and rosy again huh?
For Spawn: Just drop me an e-mail, I can't access KG from here
For Serenity: Thanks alot for all your support girl!. I'll tell you, when I read that back I feel it's almost too corny for my liking... But that's what happened, sometimes those Reader's Digest story did really happen..
For Arb3i: I still haven't found the right plugin, lately I don't have the time to drop at #trainingdj channel. I'll stop by prob tonight to check if someone found the solution yet..
For balq, snydez: That's exactly why I choose the title.
For vanillasky: Unfortunately, I didn't meet the daughter. Which I think is a bit unlucky, because he said that his wife is an english woman. So assuming she's a caucasian (white), and based on the fact that caucasian and indonesian/malaysia couple seems to produce fine descendants (think Nadya Hutagalung ), I think I'm going to regret it.
For Morningdew: Thanks, that's probably the closest I get to James Stewart . Oh what a wonderful life..

g'night everyone!
