Google Chrome on Linux

Google has finally released a beta version of Google Chrome for Linux and Macintosh. Just go to Chrome's website and it will detect your operating system and place the correct link to the download page.

Too bad, the option we had only for Debian/Ubuntu (DEB) and OpenSUSE/Fedora (RPM). The other format are not officially supported and Google put a link on a community-supported version. I think for now, the best option is to use a bundle Chrome package. It's not the most bleeding edge, but i think it's quite stable for daily usage.

Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove

It consists of six series up to now (and one additional for mobile version and another one for Nintendo DS). You can see all of them in the official website.

I think i will play it on weekend

Fingerprint Trial

My campus is planning to use fingerprint machine in the future. Right now, they are collecting fingerprints from all of the employees, including me. I have submitted my fingerprint this morning and i have verified that it works.

For the first phase, it will be implemented for employees, and in the future, all students will also use this method. This will reduce papers wasted for the absence form and also no more "ghost signature" (a term which described that a students do not come to the class, but he/she is listed in the absence form).

Start of Exam

Tomorrow will be the first day of the final exam for this semester. For some students, this will be their first final exam as they have just entered college this year. For others, this just another routine to test what have they learned for one semester.

Good luck guys and gals

Marking

In the last two days, i have been busy marking students assignments. I taught 9 classes in total, so you can see how many assignments i should mark. On each class, i usually gave two assignments, so it should be multiplied by two.

Luckily, everything is finished now. Next task is marking for final exam, which should start next Wednesday.

Google Public DNS Revealed

Google has announced a new service to make Internet gets faster by introducing Google Public DNS. It works as an ordinary DNS server like what you got from your ISP, but this time, it is from Google and we can pretty sure that they have hack their system to provide more security layer and also speed improvements.

I have added their IP address (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) as alternatives of my DNS name server which i got from my ISP besides OpenDNS and Nawala project. Let's just hope this will give me better Internet experience under unstable condition of my primary DNS server from my ISP.

One More Class

Tomorrow will be my last class for this semester for regular class. It will be an operating system class and i hope they enjoy the class and we will meet again in the different class next semester

Exam is Ready

Finally i have finished making the questions for final exam of all of my classes. I just need the schedule and then i will update it with the time and day of execution and then it will be submitted.

Be prepared guys and good luck

We will also have a meeting this weekend to discuss about next year's class and also schedule for each class.
