When I first started this blog a few weeks ago, the first thought in my mind was, "I am not good in programming and the best thing I can do to compensate that disparity by doing well in what I can do well in." and so this blog was born and full in action.
But after just a few entries, this blog somewhat became a personal tutor to me. It was learning through research and self-study/self-learning. Self-learning was something that didn't occur to me the instant I stepped past the gates of the prestigious university. I was taught to learn and not taught to enquire till now. I hated it at first because it was a big boggy change from junior college. However, as time went by and grades began to reflect that self-learning is the only way to improve oneself, I realised it was afterall the first step in a long journey.
While searching for materials for this blog, it had opened a new avenue of interest for me to investigate - Linux. This blog was about Linux and the different distros of it. It was like one human being having split personalities, of course in the positive context. furthermore, I learnt that Linux was not alone. There are many well-known IT companies supporting Linux and using it as their default OS. The videos were the most useful. Especially when it came to explaining something without needing to type too much. Some of them were very creative ads and instigated me to appreciate them. A few of the videos were hilarious. I hope that would have added a little giggle and laughter to this blog. Above all, the videos that contained the demos of the different distros were the best, in my perspective. When you look through even a small magnifying glass, everything appears bigger and more accurate. Similarly, I believe that my little sparkles (i.e. my videos, spoken phrases, pictures and interesting facts) around the blog would have placed a high interest for my blog.
P.S. I did the penguin chain all by myself! Yipee! The exclusive picture in this blog not copied from any where else!
Writing this blog was something new to me, not because I am new to writing a blog but I am new to wrtiting a technical blog. I must say I was cautious and worried not to write the inaccurate things. Thus, sometimes, some of the entries may have been generic. But nonetheless, I believe I had provided my personal tags and opinions at many areas.
This is the first time I am doing a programming course that allows a creative component and it is greatly praise-worthy. It had allowed me to learn something in a positive notation and love what I am learning - something I have never got before at SoC....Oops...I hope my past lecturers skipped that line.
In a nutshell, CS2281 had intrigued me to self-learning, unleashing creativity and most importantly making me enjoy what I learn. CS2281 is a true billion-mile journey!
This is a video from Linus Torvald himself explaining about Linux and its origins, just like how Charles Darwin wrote about the origins of species. You would probably be wondering why I didn't post this video earlier in the first post itself. My reason is simple - I wanted this video to be some kind of a recollection and a memorable epilogue. This would be the last video for this blog and hope you like it! Enjoy! And, thanks for reading!

I really am not a paranoid student,
Just a little timid and crazy one.
