First try: Material Design Lite

www.testorange0106.dickwyn.xyz

So, the other day I was googling about Bootstrap 4 news and I stumbled upon Material Design Lite. It is basically the simplified version of Material Design built for the web. And somehow, I totally missed out the release of the framework last year. Then, I continued my research on it and found out that MDL (abbreviation for Material Design Lite) is a pretty robust front-end framwork that takes…

It's been three years

It’s been three years

Three years ago today, I decided to jump the gun and finally try out WordPress. Up to that point of my life, all I knew was blogger. I still remember when I first tried out blogger around the year 2008 (same year that I opened my Facebook account), opening a blog was all the rage back then and I distinctively remembered this trend where people had this blogger gadget which was basically a link to…

My first wave of reviews

I am finally done with this. I was initially targeting this to be published the week after the final exam but as it turns out, writing a course review is not that simple. But I did manage to complete all the reviews and I am pretty happy with what I managed to come up with and my initial goal was to average in about 1,000 words for each review and I managed to exceed that goal. In total, this…

IEE 380 with Professor Linda Chattin

I thought Calculus III was the last math paper that I will need to take but as I soon realized, ASU requires me to take a couple more math papers. Enter IEE 380, probability and statistics for engineering. I had no flipping ideas as to what I am about to learn in this course nor do I have much interest in the topic of statistics. But after completing this course, I kinda like statistics. At a…

CSE 120 with Professor Martin Reisslein

First thing that I should say is that I actually didn’t choose this class myself, my advisor did it for me. There are actually quite a number of different professors teaching this class each semester. But I would recommend you to take it with Professor Resisslein if you can because his class is pretty fun in my opinion. The first thing to know about Professor Reisslein’s 120 class is that he has…

HST 109 with Professor Jonathan Barth

This is one of the two general education subjects that I took to fulfil the requirements that ASU has set in order to graduate. I don’t quite remember why or who influenced my decision to settle on this History course but I think it was because the timing was right. If you don’t like History, this course might be just the thing to change your mind about history. Personally, I don’t like history…

PHI 101 with Professor Douglas Portmore

Just like the history class that I also took this semester, I completely had no clue as to why I landed on this Philosophy class. My final decision was probably also due to the timing. All I can remember is that Professor Portmore’s ratemyprofessor page said something about tests being easy and I was basically sold. Similar to HST 109, I ended this philosophy class feeling a totally different…

ENG 101 with Professor Ivan Wolfe

Ah, english class. ASU requires you to take it unless your SAT score is at a certain level. But as an international student, I needed to take it either way. The TOEFL that I took was only used to convince the US Immigration that I had the knowledge and skills to survive the American classrooms. At ASU, there are two levels of English to be taken at the Freshman level. ENG 101 and ENG 102 is…

FSE 100 with Professor Yinong Chen

Just like my CSE 120 class, I didn’t choose this class, my advisor did it for me because if I were to choose it myself, I would have done it with another professor. This is because Professor Chen’s Ratemyprofessor rating is pretty bad. But after taking his class this semester, I beg to differ. He is not as bad as what the internet says. At a glance INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING (FSE 100) TWO(2)…

Morning thoughts

This morning, I did something different. I woke up at about 9am and I could already feel the productivity flushing in. Compared to the time that I slept and woke up during the last few weeks of the semester (I consistently woke up at 4am if anyone was curious), 9am is pretty late. But comparing it to my routine for the last three weeks, it is an improvement. I don’t quite know what has gotten…

End of semester sentiments

Day 121

Well that escalated real quickly (I just had to include this statement mainly because I saw this tweet yesterday about the Google Trends of the word ‘well that escalated quickly’. Anyways, after 16 weeks of consistent studying. Classes have officially ended for me.

My favourite trend I’ve seen on Google Trends so far: pic.twitter.com/xpv30YNb1G

A recap of what I did in 2015, lot of fun adventures

Here I am writing this entry on Monday as an early preparation to prevent my bullishly bad timing to kick in. By the the time this blog entry goes live, I’ll be on a plane headed to my next journey. Pre writing this article was most definitely required as I have a pretty bad track record of publishing articles late. Mostly has to do with my laziness. But this assures that it does make on my blog…

A good deal

It is like a dream come true, I am finally the owner of a Lumia 1020. While I am not the actual owner of this striking white phone, at least now I have a piece of Nokia history. I was initially looking out for the older 808 Pureview with the larger 41MP sensor but there were no second hand options out there. Never would I imagine that I will have the Lumia 1020 in my hands.

The phone was…

Week 1: The Great China Firewall

From Japan to Bangkok and now China, it has been quite a ride these past few weeks. Actually wanted to do a write-up weeks back but I was somewhat busy with some work here and there. As for my holiday in the land of the rising sun, I’ll leave that to a later date as most of my photos are on OneDrive and the cloud service alongside Dropbox is not available in China. Not to mention the slow…

Burgerlab for lunch

I think this is the first time ever that I am blogging about food here and this is somewhat of a breakthrough moment. Basically every single day of the week I am talking all about technology but I do watch Masterchef. Today, in this inaugural blog post I will be talking about lunch at MyBurgerlab. If you are not familiar, MyBurgerlab serves burgers. Nothing too surprising about that as the name…

Humanitarian efforts through coding

Microsoft is making some waves this month, next week they will be finally releasing Windows 10 to everyone out there. Not all will get the update on the day itself as indicated by several reports but it’s safe to say Microsoft’s servers should be ready for the volume.

But before that happens, Microsoft is giving developers the fun time with the official release of Visual Studio 2015. The IDE…

Undecided

Today is a public holiday and yet another religious festival in Malaysia, these days public holidays don’t mean anything as classes are usually modular. Writing a blog post usually starts with a title and the body of the article needs to be as inspirational and at the same time relate to the writers feelings/mindset. I’m back to writing on wordpress this week and although i did not write this…
