Nuances
My dog's so irritatingly adorable sometimes. She's mortally terrified of getting her nails cut. Upon hearing the words "cut" and "nail", she will drop whatever she has in her mouth and scurry off to a corner or to her small house. Just now I tried sticking my hand inside to pull her out, AND SHE BARKED AT ME! That gave me quite a shock. It was the first time she barked like that in that context. Most of the time she'd just resign to her fate while I dragged her on the floor by her feet.
Anyway, the first week of school's over, and there's already plenty to think about, especially for my 8MC project module. Not sure if my groupmates wanna continue developing on the multi-touch table or to try something else. Of the 4 suggested topics the lecturer gave us, only one of them stood out for its novelty. It was a BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) based game. Definitely interesting (and challenging), but the lecturer did warn us that interest and curiosity doesn't carry you through all the way.
Warning: Mild tech talk ahead.
On another note, I just finished writing the bulk of stuff for a Wordpress plugin. It's active on this blog, and it basically lets certain parts of the page update without having to refresh the whole page (which is slower and resets the Flash content). It's just a simple plugin I wrote to get myself introduced to the inner workings of Wordpress. After I fully develop this plugin (by adding in compatibility with browser history), I'm gonna write another one that integrates Qik into Wordpress.
