My continuation of existence since 23 years ago allowed me to view broad array of humanly issues (I knew I should took Psychology major). I never said Im an expert (me vs 60 years old gramps? tell me bout it) but the seemingly almost always unique personality for every human funnily can be sum up into one general segmentation called "human habits".
For this time around I will focusing on one of the human habit called Waiting.
I met several friends who likes to wait patiently for anything that they would really like or dream of to happen but simply won't because of this waiting game! Example,
"I took IT subject this semester as an elective and apparently its too hard, but I think I will wait until the end of semester and see whether I pass or not"
This kind of attitude irritates me so bad! seriously, if you think its hard and you know its an elective drop the course and find another one! why wait until the end of the semester? what if you failed?
Another kind of wait I thoroughly saw is waiting for the perfect timing thing. I personally agreed timing is everything. Swift action but bad timing apparently never produce good result. This kind of waiting game have been implemented rigorously in business and it works. What upset me though, this kind of waiting game somehow being made as an excuse for some people to stay in their comfort zone before deciding to make a progress in their life. Example,
"I will quit smoking pot after I finished my uni"
Last wait that I seen is the worst. It seriously fuel my rage and bother me that bad. People who likes to do this kind of waiting game got a serious issue. Symptoms such as complaining heavily about what happen in their life, stressed out so bad but they don't clearly explaining what and why they are stressing out, then they clearly did nothing to fix any of those problems are the major indicators for waiting game called fictional wait. Simply don't want to do anything that's what all about.
Does any of those criteria above somehow resemble yourselves?
I fully recommends everyone to stop waiting! make an action, make an impact in your life because after all you won't live forever. Opportunities only come once, you missed it you will regret it. Stagnancy in life is what you really must avoid. Once you wait you will wait forever.
Quick reminder, we always have a choice. By waiting you practically disregard all the option of life you can do. Hope everyone get my point here. -R-

Mid August Note: Human
Apparently we are in the middle of August 2009, two months plus after mid year which I reckon should sum up at the very minimum half of your life progress for 2009. Serious question;
How was it?
Good to greatness?
Lame going worst?
Awesome as usual?
Some of you might yelled at me regarding this type of rhetorical question. Why all of a sudden I jump into that sort of question about life progress in 2009?
because You know, I know, We know; Resolution is what we made years after year of our life. Funny thing about resolution is we tend to forget about it especially in the middle of year like now. We heavily dedicated ourselves to achieve what we want to achieve for this particular year at the very beginning, forgo anything in the middle, then starts to mumbling and stressed out at the end of the year because of unaccomplished or low accomplishment of goals. This is so normal, as normal as humanly as possible. I will categorize this type of human as "Under-Achiever".
Easier to said than done, easier to plan that act hey?
In reality, not every single human do have that kind of behavior I mentioned above. I seen a lot of people who plans heaps of things and actually did tried to finish every single things they planned. Although not everything they planned is actually came to reality, they achieve the most of it. They cherish every single achievement they made and learned why they failed to achieve several other plan. I should say well done to the humble reader who did that. I will call this type human as "Hard-Worker".
People might or might not did what they planned to do. People might be lazy, people might not have enough time, People might have other unplanned activity that must be done or people simply just don't want to do it and another gazillion reasons might fuel the unwillingness to finish plan. No book produce without writer; no effects exist without the causes; One simple reason I can come up with why people tend not to finish what they planned is because of the Unrealistic plan people planned to do at the very beginning. True? Extreme example:
I want to lose 20kg of weight in 3 days!
I want to buy Ferrari by working part time!
I never said its impossible (Impossible is nothing! tee-hee) but seriously guys, that will be HARD AS HELL!. I will categorize this type of human as "Day-Dreamer". Simple note though, if someone actually really really keen to do one of their impossible plan I honor them with the title "Impossibler" for all the human who wants to achieve the impossible ( I made that word up).
Fourth kind of human I notice is the one who actually did nothing and achieve nothing because they plan nothing at the very beginning. This kind of human well in some part I could said Idealistic because they stick to what they are but not in a good way. Seriously people you should avoid this type of human at all cost. They do exist in the planet earth, and beware they will infect you like a zombie eating brain. Can you imagine if every human are actually like this? Epic fail. No will no glory, I will entitle this type of human as "Loser".
One last human category, very rare breed, one in every ten million. Almost the same as loser, but actually achieve a lot in their life. They never planned to achieve something big let alone work hard for it. They just simply destined to be big, and big is the only path they know. Simple example, People who won one billion dollar lottery by finding winning lottery ticket in the thrash bin. This type of human is what I hate the most. I will categorize this type of human as "Lucky - Bastard".
Which one are you? -R-

Refreshment from the Tech department
Hello Folks,
It's been a while since I wrote stuff because of the installation process of a new HDD to my MacBook Pro. Been quite happy with the result so far. With the new Hitachi TravelStar 7k320 320 gb, 7200RPM 16MB cache memory practically I've got almost zero loading time. I fully boot OS X Leopard in less than 5 seconds, fully boot Windows Vista home premium sp1 in 7 seconds or less through my boot camp. With the spaces three times bigger than the original HDD (320GB vs 120GB) finally I had rooms to breath. To utilize that, I allocated 60GB for Windows Vista, the rest for my beloved OS X leopard with VmWare Fusion* installed. Time to experimenting with all the latest operating system currently available right now.
*For those who don't know, VmWare use for running Operating System in the virtualization environment; Virtualization itself means it executes application like it was in the real machine but actually its not.
First victim, Windows 7.
Although its still on the RC version( Release Candidate) this latest iteration of Windows post Bill Gates era already drawn a lot of praise from the IT community normally regarded as "Vista done right". With Vista barely improving through all the latest updates, public opinion regarding Windows Vista already sinking deep down in the negativity point.
I personally thought that Vista was a very good OS really a major improvement from Windows XP. From Direct X 10, new interface, bit locker encryption and mirror backup function to name some of the features. Its good IF you have the computing resources to run it. Indeed I couldn't agree more that Vista is really a resource hungry OS. I reckon minimum of 2GB of ram and core duo processor then Vista can run normally. With normal i meant light use such as using word processor. If you plan to use for HD video encoding or gaming, additional computing resources may needed.
Thus as a regular user of Windows especially XP and Vista I would like too see how well Windows 7 perform compare to the older Windows version. Lets begin!
For the testing purpose I will use MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Core 2 duo, 4GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM 320GB HDD 7200RPM. The VmWare is set to run only on 1 CPU with 1GB RAM HDD spaces 20 GB. Installation CD will be using PC Authority Windows 7 RC version free CD.
Installation
Straight forward as usual, Insert the CD while VmWare Automatically detects the content of the CD. As Windows 7 is not official yet, Vm detect it as Windows Vista installation CD which still fine just a matter of renaming it. From there the installation process given you the option to choose which version of Windows 7 would you like to install. Of course I'll go for the Ultimate version the most complete version of Windows 7.
Then normal protocol as usual while the file is being copied from the installation cd's to the HDD. Somehow the installation process resemble Windows Vista installation.
It took about 10 minutes to completely copied all the installation files which is quite fast then it proceeds to updates. I somehow likes the updates screen.
Finalizing the installation it welcome me with a quite unique welcome screen then into the home view. Easy breezy and fast!
Interface
As you can see the interface somehow Vista look-alike with the addition of taskbar positioned in the bottom of the screen next to the start icon which I'm pretty sure its look and work exactly the same like Dock from OS X. The ultimate version includes several themes to choose from. Great thing about that its not about changing the display, it also changes the sound; the music and some icon. There are some issues with my virtual machine setting though, I somehow couldn't run the aero function let alone test it due to graphic card problem. Will try to fix that later on.
The taskbar also provides a mean of notification by flashing the icon. Gadgets which firstly introduce in Vista has an improvement as well; they can be move anywhere you like across the screen where previously it is just only a static sidebar.
By right clicking the mouse in the icon on the taskbar, it reveals the information recently use for that particular icon. In my example I use windows media player to reveal the playlist I recently played.
New windows update interface now clearly defines what updates are important or just optional. It is also gave clearer explanation about what updates are we going to install.
Performance
I couldn't manage to officially benchmark the performance in comparison to Vista, however through the minimum setting I set on the virtual machine as I stated before; Windows 7 ran extremely well almost without hassle. Although running video while opening several different application at the same time produce a little bit lagging in the process. Overall the performance was good.
Important Features
Notes
That's about some of the new exciting features of Windows 7 that I found useful. Although there are a couple more or should I say heaps the limitation of hardware and computing resources due to the virtual machine environment and the OS release candidate version it can't be run properly and fully reviewed. For the latest and exciting news about Windows 7 I will update it here. Check out soon! -R-
At the very least, Windows 7 truly shows some promises and excitement compare to the previous iteration of Windows (Vista). The fact that Apple will release its latest iteration of OS X in September code name "Snow Leopard" truly will challenge the very existence of Microsoft OS as the industrial standard. Not only that, the growing usage of open source OS such as Linux base system and the latest Chrome OS from Google really push Microsoft to up their game in order to compete in the tough market. Community disappointed byWindows ME Microsoft answer it Windows XP, now Windows Vista really let us down will Windows 7 be the answer? or new history are on the making as Microsoft crumbles. -R-
