Woo two amazing deals I have seen relating to Microsoft Office that I must share.
I will first off establish that both these are equivalent to Microsoft Office Professional. Microsoft Office Professional is $849 for 2 PCs, $499 for 1 PC. So have a little think of how much you would would not like to buy it full price.
At the SI Group website, all you have to do is provide your DEC (the new version of DET, apparently) email.
Previously where you were like blah.blah2@det.nsw.edu.au, your email has now sneakily changed to blah.blah2@education.nsw.gov.au
This happened seamlessly so that POP/IMAP forwarding was transferred. In fact if you'd blow the dust off your DET/DEC student portal login, and hit the site now, it's much brushed up with better resources like a timetable and stuff that I still won't use.
In any case if you just read the User Guide that they provide, you are on your way to a discounted version of Microsoft Office Professional Plus (one PC). How discounted?
IT'S FREE TROLOL.
Note that Professional Plus includes a few extra programs ON TOP of Professional. So in addition to all the ones you use (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Onenote), Professional includes Outlook, Publisher and Access. Even better, in Professional Plus, you are getting stupid programs nobody ever uses like Infopath, Sharepoint Workspace (formerly Groove) and Lync. No idea what the last 3 do at all.
Note that I haven't actually tried this as I am waiting till my new laptop arrives to install this, but tell me if it works!
I do believe that only applies for high school students as uni's are not DEC. Though if you go to TAFE you're still covered by that above program LOL.
Do what you want cos a pirate is free, but this shit is better!
Found this bright and early in the morning on Ozbargain. I was looking for that JB HiFi Logitech deal then BAM free Office on the sidebar. WHY NOT.
Also linked is one license to Windows 7 Professional and one license to Windows 7 Ultimate. Not that I'd ever buy Professional/Ultimate seeing as it has stuff I won't need... but it's pretty cool to get for free =P
For those of you with med/lawyer/not-TAFE aspirations in mind, fear not the sacrifice of having access to less programs, or paying that hectic $850.
For that, we have the Microsoft Office University. I found that this is installable on on PC and one laptop (I emailed customer support to double check their shady wording). So this means one for home and one for lectures YAY.
Unfortunately you will not get your junk programs of Infopath, Sharepoint Workspace, or Lync.
For peace of mind, yes you will still get Word, Excel, Outlook, Access, Powerpoint, Onenote, and Publisher.
This comes at a dandy price of $99. Considering it is essentially two installs, this is almost as holy fuck-worthy as the free one.
I'm guessing somewhere down the line (quite soon) when Office 15 comes out (not sure if that's because it's going to be released in 2015... they seem to have a trend of every 2-3 years: 95, 07, 2000, 03, 07, 10)
Assuming this University package stays till then, that would be bloody awesome.
I found this as an ad in the confirmation email of my laptop purchase - I appreciated it greatly =P
So in short, one is free Microsoft Office. Properly licensed and registered too! Another is cheaper version of Professional.
By the end of this week, I'd have saved $320 from buying laptop, and $499+ from getting the free office ($499+ as Professional Plus isn't actually commercially available - must be Volume Licensed).
That's enough to buy a decent acoustic guitar. Not that I'm going to, I cbf doing the comparing and shit atm :L
Also it's not really fair to say I saved $499 seeing as I wouldn't've ever dreamed of buying Professional anyway. Screw that shit Home and Student would've been fine.

Subjective
You know when you listen to people talk about other subjects and you're just like "da fuck would you want to learn that for".I never really understood why people said "thank god I don't do phys/bio/chem." Then I listened to people talk about Eco then I was like... "Okay I know dat feel bro"
Like wildfire
Aww no a little research told me that Justin Bieber (probably) never said he'd be this generations Kurt Cobain.And his "supergroup" was just some stupid prank he pulled. Although in the video he said "but better [than the Beatles]" too many times to make sense.
Damn you, internet, for spreading rumours so fast. I wonder how much other shit I take as fact.
My opinion goes back to
Voice: Good
Voice suited to music: So-so
Choice of music: No
Personality: To be informed
Low fat junk food
What the fuck do you think you're doing. Just because it's "less unhealthy" doesn't make it "healthy".Like low fat ice cream is just lose-lose. You eat it, it doesn't taste that good, you're still getting fatter, and still gateway drug into full cream ice cream because that's the real shit.
Or like the wholegrain Pringles. This shit is still fried but at least your shit will come out a little easier cos this stuff is WHOLEGRAIN. The texture of the wholegrain one is dodge, but it's sweeter than the potato one. Not sure if sweet is the taste I'm looking for in chips.
UMAT - Medentry douchebaggery
Anyone who's done Medentry drills will know - when the patterns move and it's like -(In any section C) JOKES DID YOU THINK THIS NUMBER WAS USEFUL. I JUST PUT IT THERE SO AS DECORATION.
(In Pick the Middle) COULDN'T YOU TELL THAT THIS BLACK BOX SCANS ACROSS THE GRID IN FIBONACCI NUMBERS? LIKE, THE IMAGES ARE ONLY OUT OF ORDER, WHY WOULDN'T YOU BE ABLE TO WORK OUT FIBONACCI FROM THAT.
I hate how you can't tell if one shape is covering another shape, or whether that shape completely disappeared from the question.

the hunger theory
Today we ran the cross country.
Alternated between running and strolling wooo so get off the track in reasonably time, don't get too tired, don't get into zone. TRIPLE BLOW.
Screw the cross country I want to talk about hunger. So a bunch of us were sitting in a circle chilling out during uber long lunch.
Jeff: I'm not hungry at all after running that
Max: It's the caveman theory/reaction (I can't remember which word he used)
All: ???
Max: When you have been running for ages and you don't feel hungry. Because if cavemen had been running around for ages it probably means there's no food.
Somebody Tree: But what if cavemen were running to hunt stuff? [Add extra stuff: Like humans were weak shits and instead of actually fighting animals they just ran at them until they got tired.]
*brief pause*
Jeff: It's so you can carry the food home and not eat it on the way, to impress the babes and then bone them
*general lols and agreement*
Tree: So in order to feel hungry, you have to walk equal distance to how far you ran, carrying something heavy on your back.
*a greater amount of lols*
So yes we traced the biological roots of why we don't feel hungry after excessive exercise.
And so begins the return of the papers woo.
Goodluck don't stress yourself too hard. Unless you want to, then whatever go ahead.

project semibreve
Woo kickstarted invitations to people for composition/lyric-ing!
One day, soon, we might be ready to record yay!
Volunteers are still appreciated though! =D
On a different note (hawhaw) I found out that the Zoom H1 Handy Recorder can be used as a USB mic with the new firmware update. That means infinite quality Skype and computer recordings =D =D =D. ZERO PEAKING, EVERYONE. So now I can do everything at the computer! Record straight into Wavepad or Audacity, and then YAY EDIT TIME STRAIGHT AWAY. And I can play to a click track too omg the possibilities are endless.
EDIT: A minor gush that nobody except like 3 people will care about - OMG GUITAR PRO 6 FINALLY HAS A GRAND STAFF. NO MORE TRACK1 - PIANO RHS, TRACK2 - PIANO LHS. SO HAPPY.

Yay the list of people who are interested are growing! Thanks Vaish, Susmitha, LJ, Matt, Shelley, Albert =D
I'm a little worried that maybe stylistically peeps may not agree with the song. I don't know if people visualised it as happy-go-luck or super virtuousic or what... sooo I made a more beautiful version of the sample.
Jokes I made the beautiful version of the sample as proof of concept.
Should I put it on SoundCloud... hmmm :P.
EDIT: Yeah why not. I'll put it on. Don't bash my singing =P
This track comprises of 3 clean guitar tracks, 3 vocals tracks, and 2 distorted guitar tracks. I only wrote 1 vocal melody atm but with some more composers we can go nuts on harmonising if that floats your boat. In case it wasn't clear, that is indeed the tentative chorus to Project Semibreve.
It still feels bloody empty without a bass and drums but oh well a demo's only a demo.
I need a catchy name - somebody suggest one! My tentative naming is "Project Semibreve" atm =P. Then we'll give the song a real name later. But the project needs to have a flash name 8DD
To the people who explicitly said they'd like to help, I will send out an invite to sync the files. PLEASE TELL ME EXPLICITLY IF YOU WANT TO HELP, I'm I don't want to make any assumptions =P.
If you volunteered for video tech I'll send you an invite a bit later because right now I don't have anything to put into that folder and that's just awkward.
Possible things you may be good at:
Composition/Lyrics (need these guys first!! Preferred program Guitar Pro 6, set up will be sync'd to you if you don't have it!)
Sound Techs (preferred program: Audacity)
Video Techs (preferred program: Adobe Premiere)
Instrument players (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Strings, Piano, + whatever!)
Admin-y people (to help gather the sound/video files. This includes people who know how to sing and can help those that are struggling to get their note =))
Please ask for more than one if you are good at more than one =D
Anyone fancy themselves a tune-writer or a poet? I NEED BLACKUP.

simply symphonic
Last night I had an idea that was intoxicating.
In fact I didn't sleep until 2, but cause/correlation I can't tell if it was boredom from not being to sleep that spurred this idea, or that this idea kept me awake.
I had a vision of a song that we make, as a grade. Where in the verses, each person in the grade sings one note/one word. And they take a video of themselves singing that note/word.
Then, we take all those videos, splice them together; take the audio, splice that together. Do some sound techy stuff and mix it all together.
I did consider the factor that some people aren't singers and have trouble carrying a tune, but I'm sure with some help from someone more musically oriented they would easily get just one note on pitch, right? =D
In fact I got so carried away that I wrote a preliminary chorus. (Why do the muses strike when I need to sleep, or can't play guitar to work out the notes?). I don't especially fancy my B-grade singing free and floating on the internet, but if you'd like I'd be happy to send you a sample of what I came up with (just ask =P). Be warned, I recorded through Apple earphones because I wanted to be able to stand up, sing, play guitar, and be heard at the same time, so it peaks like a motherfucker, on top of my B-grade singing :L.
But the reason I post this is that obviously I can't do it alone - first and foremost, I need everyone's voice sample, but way before that I must enlist the help of people like composers (probably 1 or 2 more), sound techs, video techs, instrument players, and a plethora of other jobs that I haven't conceived of yet.
So, think we can do this before our graduation assembly? It would be the coolest memento ever! You can be like "our grade made a song. What did your grade do hmm?"
Guess I'm asking two things - who likes this, who thinks this is lame, and finally, who'd like to help?
Though some requirements I guess, I'd rather have composers that agree with me stylistically, sound techs who have a rudimentary knowledge of how to read music (just the rhythm will do), and instrument players who are competent :L. Stylistically I can see guitars (electric + bass, acoustic mebbe strumming along), strings, piano if anyone composes pop, and backup vox would be nice but I doubt anyone can be bothered working that hard. Though I'm open to weird and wonderful additions :L
So yeahhh leave a comment, MSN me, or if you're feeling weird, text me. I would like to know what you think and if this is possible!
[Thanks to Vaish, Susmitha, LJ, Matt (so far)! We need to find ourselves some composers and this can actually go underway!]

prioritise
By superior pro prioritisation skills, I did 1 4u paper then went and played guitar cos I decided I just couldn't be fucked anymore.
I've had the drum beat for ages now, but like during exam period I started writing the guitar part. Then I went all out added a lead guitar and parts of bass guitar. It's 1min long atm and I'll definitely finish it soon.
I have a mp3 of how the computer imagines it to sound.
I don't know if the lead guitar adds or detracts to the song - I wish I could just record a billion tracks and send it off to a producer who knows what the fuck they're doing :L
Have a widget to play =P

inducted
Trolol this is not about physics despite the punnery in this title.
Today I am inducted into the hall of idiots who leave stuff in the exam room/halls.
RIP my Proliner (triangle piece from the Mathaid set)
I'm making insane amounts of idiot errors in maths. Wonder if that can change before the exam ;_;

i've been dazed and confused
Woooo English is over which means half our exams are over!
Making multitudes of idiotic mistakes in 4u that screw up the latter parts of the question. I hope adrenaline does its thing on Wednesday and Friday
Today I used my whole morning playing guitar. I hope my neighbours like Led Zeppelin. I put on Mothership and tried to play along. Which worked for most of them. I couldn't be bothered with the non-main arpeggio bits in "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" because there are random 4 bars of chords that never appear again so I never got to work them out.
I like the guitar part of Ramble On a lot =P
I got up to "When the Levee Breaks" and realised that perhaps I should do some work.
Yayay my hands are cold. Goodluck for whatever exams you may have!
I love it when something runs out of batteries, and you just take the batteries out and swap them over. And it starts working again. MWAHAHA
On a similar note - I love how the iPhone doesn't waste all its battery telling you that it has no more battery.

ergonomical
Recently I changed my pen grip to the proper way to hold a pen. It's slightly less tiring to write now, and it's easier to form letters nicely, but it's hard to write neatly under time pressure because I'm still not used to it. But in time it will be my best friend (I hope). I realised I write a lot this year because I ran out of like 2 or 3 pens already this term. And I swear I used only 2 or 3 pens all of year 11.
Another thing I'm trying is to type with the correct fingers. When I was typing the word "decided" I nearly gave up. Also, I can't bring myself to use the pinkies for P and Q, and I need to learn how to use my right hand pinky to press backspace and enter and shit like that. I'm pleasantly surprised that my own made up typing system so closely resembles the correct system.
In any case, sleep well, eat well, don't pull all nighters and energy drinks don't help.
Soon I will post many "Draw Something" pictures - both my own and other's that I managed to screenshot in time.

I saw this link after some College Humour videos (College Humour isn't what it used to be ;_;). I found it quite funny because some of them are things I do. Some of them I suspect aren't what most girls think (despite the title of her video) I feel like making my own comments =P
Yeah you don't have to watch it, I've summarised her main points and added my 2 cents
1) Why do guys watch the same movies over and over eg Fast and Furious, Tokyo Drift, etc.
Don't girls rewatch the same movies over and over again as well? Just different movies to what we watch, probably, but still! There's nothing wrong with re-watching a movie! Especially if it's an action movie and it's hardly about the plot and you're just watching for the cool effects. Like the battles in LOTR!
She says "I'd literally watch any fucking crap ass television show over a movie I've seen a hundred fucking times."
Really? Does anyone else agree with this statement? TV shows can get PRETTY CRAP if you search hard enough. I'm pretty sure my tolerance for even established soap operas is pretty bloody low. Compared to say, my tolerance for LOTR again.
2) Let's watch this movie! It started an hour ago! (Why would you watch a movie from middle to end?!)
If it's a movie I've watched before, I'd happily skip the first bit of, say, again, LOTR, to watch some hectic battles. I already know who the characters are so screw the establishment!
But if it's a previously unwatched movie then yeah I'd rather watch from the beginning. Mainly cos I have nfi what's going on otherwise.
3) Why do you want me to smell your farts?
I've never done this, can't relate.
4) Why, after a shower, do you leave your towel on for ever?
I DO THIS. Partially because it's too much effort to dry off completely in the shower. So wearing the towel covers what needs to be covered while evaporation does its thing.
Plus, evaporative cooling feels pretty hectic.
I suppose in the end it's a "because I can" thing.
And I don't get cold so why the hell get dressed? It's something society oppressively pushed onto us.
5) Why turn on the bathroom fan after a shit and leave it on till the end of time?
I turn on the fan before I take a crap. I turn it off afterwards if it wasn't noxious. If it is I leave it on and forget. So it has some truth. But it's for the greater good of humanity.
6) Why leave so much hair everywhere after shaving?
I am an Asian kid therefore do not have enough hair to relate. In my experience though, it's not that hard to wash your razor in the bloody sink.
7) Why ask her how long you should microwave stuff for?
Because I have no fucking idea. And guess who will scream at me if I boil/pop something in the microwave :L. It's a safety precaution for all parties.
Though it's pretty stupid to ask if I have microwaved it before, or there are directions on the packet.
8) Why turn on air conditioner when it's equally as cold outside?
Stereotypically girls are more sensitive to air conditioners than guys for reasons unknown. But personally I don't need airconditioning - tolerate whatever temperature, warm or cold, like our ancestors did. Fun fact - I didn't have air conditioning in my home until end of 2011. And this is the only summer that never got hot enough for air conditioning WOO
9) Why do guys get sweaty sleeping?
I don't think I get sweaty, though, of course, I'm asleep and I can't tell.
10) Why do you put peanut butter in the fridge?
That's like putting Nutella in the fridge but less punishable by death.

just you know why...
Today, after school Sun took out his box of sushi that every (except me =P) swarmed.
I'd just like to say Sandra's compulsive squishing of Sun's food ("I wasn't trying to POP the tomato - just bruise it very badly!") is quite humourous.
And then she started squeezing his cheese. Which I noticed was Laughing Cow. ie not Panda.
"Not Panda cheese, Sun. You dead, man"
Unfortunately he was the only one there that didn't laugh because he hasn't seen it before. And if you haven't seen it before it's embedded here.
I also like that epic state of sleeping where you're not really asleep but you are. This is most easily measured when listening to music. Like, I am in shallow enough sleep to hear the lyrics and remember hearing every song. But when I "wake up" I only have a hazy recollection that I DID listen to the music, but soon forget... I can't explain it - it's rather like trying to remember a dream.
Wait upon further inspection... I just checked the album of American Idiot - was wide awake for American Idiot, fell asleep during Jesus of Surburbia, zero recollection of Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Are We The Waiting, St Jimmy, Give Me Novocaine, She's a Rebel, Extraordinary Girl, Letterbomb, was in that beautiful state of half awake/half asleep for Wake Me Up When September Ends (kinda apt that I regained consciousness then), same state for Homecoming, was pretty much awake for Whatsername.
Wow so I filled out a full nap-cycle with American Idiot. That's such a good way to fall asleep.
Also lastly I want to say, that a couple of bands are so great that it is impossible to judge people who listen to them. Like I can laugh at peeps if they listen to like Pitbull. Or, to give an example of an artist/group that people ACTUALLY listen to, maybe something I'm more famous for scorning - Glee.
And perhaps they do sound great to half the population but it's difficult to claim I'm unjustified in making fun of it - mainly cos Anonymous is generally against Glee.
But I found some bands that you just have to respect, even if you don't listen to their music. You can't go "HAHAHA YOU LISTEN TO THEM?!?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR EARS?"
Of course there can be more than just these few bands, but I can't think of any more impossibly-greats off the top of my head.
Actually ignore if I said "bands" up there, I included individuals too
These artists are:
-The Beatles
-Jimi Hendrix Experience (mainly just Jimi Hendrix)
-Led Zeppelin
-Elvis Presley
-The Rolling Stones
Quite possibly, it actually backfires and makes your own music taste look worse to laugh at any of them. Legends deserve their respect.
Because while you yourself may think any of those bands are retarded (God be with you), 99% chance your idol in some shape or form was influenced by one of those guys.
TELL ME IF YOU THINK OF MORE SUPER INFLUENCE BANDS THAT I MAY HAVE MISSED.
I did consider Queen, but they don't give off the same holy vibe as those 4 I listed above.
Pink Floyd, Eagles, AC/DC, I all thought about, but I decided against them. What do you think?
Of a more contemporary band, I think old Guns N Roses might've been pretty insanely influential - I wonder how much November Rain, Sweet Child o' Mine and Welcome to the Jungle did for new rock bands out there... Nirvana too. Although not terribly virtuosic, had a simple brutality that just worked.
Anyhoos I totally went off on a tangent but whatever. You still read it all (Y)
I'd just like to say Sandra's compulsive squishing of Sun's food ("I wasn't trying to POP the tomato - just bruise it very badly!") is quite humourous.
And then she started squeezing his cheese. Which I noticed was Laughing Cow. ie not Panda.
"Not Panda cheese, Sun. You dead, man"
Unfortunately he was the only one there that didn't laugh because he hasn't seen it before. And if you haven't seen it before it's embedded here.
I also like that epic state of sleeping where you're not really asleep but you are. This is most easily measured when listening to music.

smells like teen spirit
Today we had a chemistry prac.
We were reflux-ing ethanoic acid and 1-pentanol to make amyl acetate or pentyl acetate I can't remember what we're meant to call it.
This ester is to have a fragrant banana smell, in contrast with the sharp stinging smell of ethanoic acid, and the nail-polish-smell of 1-pentanol.
So we were being told a story of how the previous class conducted the experiment without any major incidents. One boy did manage to spill ester on his hand and he smelt like banana.
I finished the story to our table by adding "Then he ate himself and he died. The End."
Anyways so we were refluxing and in the space between lighting the Bunsen burner and actually getting results, we were being simultaneously being taught and told anecdotes.
He was informing us of how if we hit a couple of notes out of the many notes smelt in a banana, and we can still recognise it as a banana. And how it's like an mp3 ripped off a CD, which holds only 5% as much data as the CD file. Which sounds like so much lower quality than "compressed 20 times" =O. The power of expression to warp our interpretations of the same data =O. Mr Bialy is such an audiophile.
Then he was showing us a word doc with a bajillion esters and what they smell like. Then we found out that amyl acetate/pentyl acetate is also the bee alarm pheromone. So presumably if you torture many bees you will extract a fragrant fruity smell. Appears to be legitimate, good gentleman/lady.
"So, if this classroom was right near the JR plots, and we had our windows open, the bees would be going ballistic!"
And I chimed "One might say, they would be going bananas."

I think that's the first class-laugh-out-loud quip that I've made since like year 10 =O. I slightly ruined it by smiling too much but whatever =P
As an addendum:
Do you know what's bloody cool? As a catalyst, we used 18mol/L sulfuric acid. Not 1.8. FREAKING EIGHTEEN. Theoretically that's a pH of -1.6. It was so exciting to be so close to something 180 times more concentrated than what we usually use. Think of all the things we could destroy - the possibilities are endless!
