vectors

"Graham's number, named after Ronald Graham, is a large number often described as the largest finite number that has ever been seriously used in a mathematical proof. Guinness World Records even listed Graham's number as the World Champion largest number. It is too large to be written in scientific notation because even the digits in the exponent would exceed the number of atoms in the observable universe so it needs its own special notation to write down." [1]

No, it has nothing to do with vectors. I was playing around with the pen tool in Illustrator CS2 today out of boredom at work, and this is what I came up with. I really didn't know how to do the 64, nor where to position them. But whatever.

So, if you ever decide to colour an n-dimensional hypercube, just remember this.

Pointless Studying Procrastination

Stuff that's cool:

• Pretty interface. Like, it looks incredibly slick. No wonder why they used something similar for the PS3.
• African huge screen for a portable system. 480x272 resolution is nothing short of impressive.
• The browser. I can even check my email. And it does WPA...cough DS cough...
• Sound. Expected nothing less of CD quality; but coming from a DS, there sure is a big difference.
• DJ Max. It's awesome.
• DJ Max looks so sweet. It would be almost impossible to port it to the DS.
• DJ Max is crazy.
• Did I mention DJ Max?

Stuff that's bleh:

• Maybe preference, but I don't quite like the cellphone-style of keyboard entry yet.
• Wireless B only? Oh well.
• Video playback requires conversion. Guess it's the same situation for my DS.
• It's bigger than my calculator.
• The browser supports flash, but it's an old version...so no Youtube on the go. Meh.
• With a UMD loaded, it drains the battery like a vampire.
• The square button is awfully close to the screen. I keep leaving fingerprints on it when mashing away on DJ Max.
• The circle button feels weird...kinda clicks when it's not pressed directly down the middle.
• Whoever decided to place that analog pad that low deserves to be shot. Or has hands the size of a baby...and still deserves to be shot.
• Ditto the L and R buttons. And the rest of the buttons. Maybe I need a grip attachment.

Guess I can't go wrong with $160. Came with a 2GB Sandisk memory stick. Also got GTA: Liberty City Stories, as well as The Matrix and 8 Mile movies...not that I'd watch them on this though.

Work, work...

Never thought work could be this relaxed. Meanwhile, I'll try to update this page.

Last night, I tried sleeping early...well, earlier than usual. Then I woke up 10 mins before i had to be at work.

I'm never sleeping early again.
