Hi guys. Today I had a conference with Buff, Mon, and Teddy.

Got my first D-SLR!
Got my Canon EOS 1000D with twin lenses plus tripod. I’ve been wanting to do a bit of amateur photography for ages.
MacBook kernel panic
My unibody MacBook has crashed on several occasions for no freaking reason whatsoever! The laptop was just sitting there running Mail and Adium and then goes into a kernel panic. Not happy Jen!
iPhone OS 3.0 is a piece of s***
The long anticipated iPhone OS 3.0 has arrived. However, to my disappointment the update is quite buggy, forcing a couple of native apps to crash occasionally. MMS still does not work on the iPhone. It kept producing “Message send failure”. I called up Optus technical support but they couldn’t find what the problem is and now I have to take my iPhone into a store to look at the possibility of a defective phone.
I’m really beginning to dislike the iPhone.
EDIT: 25/06/09
I went into the Optus store at Australia Fair and after many trial and error, the sales rep called Optus technical support and after many tweaking (supposedly the MMS profile was changed on their end), MMS finally works!
Remove Kubuntu splash screen
After installing the KDE Desktop I realised the default Ubuntu splash screen has been changed to Kubuntu which is quite annoying.
There seems to be a common way of reverting the Ubuntu splash screen but it did not work for me. Basically there is a line of code that is used to change the splash screen but after doing so and rebooted, the same Kubuntu splash was displayed.
In the end I decided to uninstall the Kubuntu splash screen altogether which then reverts back to the Ubuntu splash screen.
sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-artwork-usplash
KDE 4.2
I took a day off today as I really had trouble sleeping last night. My stomach was giving me problems and I was up until 4am. Anyway, despite all that I managed to install KDE 4 on my Ubuntu machine and after playing around with it I’m starting to like it a lot! It seems to be a huge improvement since version 3 in 2005.
Assassin’s Creed 2
The highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed 2 is coming out towards the end of 2009. Just saw a couple of trailer/gameplay videos on YouTube and the only thing I can say is that it’s impressive!
Update
Just a quick update. Last week I attended a 2-day workshop with Max Design on CSS and accessibility which broadened my horizon on how physically disadvantaged people use computers and the Internet.
This week, I have been at the graduate development block training which includes a 3-day crash course in project management.
