A New hOP(e)
This marks the return of Hopeless Optimism (until, you know, I go on Hiatus again). hOP #118 is out on a brand new page. The logo is different and the guys are no longer photoshopped. They're now redundantly drawn on Illustrator. #118 has a title, and so will #119 and the rest.

After much deliberation, I decided to shift Hopeless Optimism to a Blogger-powered Blog (Don't start, LJ-WP People), getting rid of the iFrame system forever. Now the old block strips can live together with the new strip strips, without worrying about iFrame sizes. This also means hOP has its own RSS feed now.

I'm still working out the kinks, adding in the strips as blog posts and dropping titles into the ones that don't have titles (i.e. Pre #118). I hope this works well.

Internship Ends?
IT'S OVER!!
So it ends. 12 weeks. My internship with the fine folks at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research is over (or is it?). It's been fun, entertaining(!?), exciting and I learnt some deal of a lot. Thanks to the school for hooking me up to A*STAR, my supervisor for his patience and follow-up and fellow "colleagues" Jasmine and Ilyana (pictured) who has kept me sane for the aforementioned duration. I've learnt that XML still kicks ass. I've learnt that such projects has a working curve thats get steeper at the end. I've learnt that I cannot survive on the DES canteen food alone.
I enjoyed my time at my internship. There were the days that had it moments, but all is well. And now, I'm freeing up the tension. Excuse me.

Key to the City.
What's Next for Niko Bellic?

That's it. That's 100.00%. I finished up GTAIV at long last. I was hung at 98.33% before I took Packie to a show, went for darts and a drink. Then the trophy popped up, and part of my hobby lost some meaning. I spent 76 hours (113 game days) in Liberty City, excluding all my superhuman cheat-code-using rampages I didn't save on. It's been really fun. Pity the DLC episodes won't touch the PS3. Time to get Arkham Asylum.

Follow the rest of the story, from the time I got the game, finished the story, finished the story under 30 hours and shot 200 pigeons.

What's wrong with this picture?
Image possibly blurry on purpose.
Well, it's not really a glitch. Yes. This Mac boy installed Windows on his iMac. Just so I can play serious PC games. Namely, Left4Dead and/or Left4Dead2. I'm using xpize to ease the pain. I last used Windows back in 2004. Check my records. Then my Terminal died and I made the switch and I've been an Apple fanboy ever since.
XP didn't hookup with my internet so good, and the idiot light error dialogs are hard to figure out. But I fixed that. And I got out of there before my brain exploded. So again, Windows is for my non-alternative-OS gaming. Everything else runs on Mac.
