Brain Overload Again Soon

Met up with my 2nd supervisor on my 3 semester project. I have to submit a 'Design Proposal' (DP) 2 to 3 weeks later. He showed me a DP done by a group under his supervision a few years back. It has 40 pages!!! Some of the stuff will be quoted from the analysis report. Mine has only 15 pages!!! New assignments will be given to us soon, other subjects' term projects have also began. This means more work for me, my leisure time going to be over soon. My brain will be overloaded again soon......

Been using Openoffice for the past few weeks. The lecturer recommended the software for us to do our 3 semester project report. I have to admit, the writing format is way better than MS Word and the document file also take up less space. A blank Word document took up 11K memory, a blank Openoffice took only 3k memory. I input 10 characters in both documents and saved them. Words used 24K memory whereas openoffice used 5K. Imagine the statistic! However, Openoffice has 1 downfall, that is, the spellchecker. It does not work as good as MS Word. I really like Openoffice, it is a very good tool to use for report writing. I did not test other features of Openoffice as I do not need it. This applies to MS Word as well. Therefore I recommend Openoffice to those who wants an easier report writing tool. Oh, there is 1 feature that Openoffice outshone MS Word that is, Openoffice is able to convert documents to PDF format. MS Word needs acrobat reader professional version to do that.

Joke Per Post (If I Remember)
Mexican American War

During the Mexican/American war, an intense long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither side made any advances. Finally, an American general had a bright idea.
He aimed his rifle to the Mexican trenches and yelled "Hey Juan!"
A soldier jumped up and replied "What?"
The general shot him dead. This continued for three days.
A Mexican general decided that two could play this game and decided to try it out. He called out "Hey John!!"
An American replied "John isn't here......is that you Juan?"
The Mexican general stood up, "Yeah!"...
