Headache day

Yikes, woke up with a bad headache and decided not to go to office today. took excedrin after breakfast did not help this time. Slept a bit helped, but I slept a good 7 hours last night...

Two possible causes: Sinus - one side of my nose was stuffy when I woke up. or Eyes - they were tired yesterday... I finally decided the 2560 x 1600 resolution on my HP 30" monitor at work was too small for me, I adjust the resolution to 1920x1200 and that made me felt a bit better.

I've got a mild case of headache waking up in the morning, but it went away quickly after I took a Excedrin after breakfast... lucky.

1st headache in a while

haven't had a headache since the last doctor's visit (when KC had Mono) but a minor one starting since last night after the Bowling game.

Didn't sleep well, since I woke up with headache coming and going. It feels like a bit of tightness on the upper right side of my head... a bit like muscle sore.

At Bowling game (since that seems to be when the headache start) I ate some fried chicken and shrimp with some typical dipping. and drunk a big cup of Pepsi.

And I suck at Bowling. I bet this is why I got a headache.

[update] Thibault's got some nice photos from the Bowling team outing:

Serenity Prayer

It's a nice prayer, from movie 'Mr. Brooks'

God grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And wisdom to know the difference.

Thoughts and wishes on Android...

My Android G1 sucks a$$ today. 90% of the time when I tried to do something, it would be busying doing sync in the 'background.' But the whole thing just slowed to a halt, that I feel like I am the background task, deprioritized.

I started to wonder why Android can suck like this. Essentially it's a computer with a 528MHz processor and about 128MB of RAM and some flash drive space (got a 8GB SD card in it). 10 years back, this is probably one of the better computer on the lot, and I remember having a similar system and I could play Grim Fandango, Crusader, Wing Commander 4, Need For Speed 2, and Quake 2 on it. Not too shabby at all.

So why this computer can't handle the current demand now? Touchscreen shouldn't be an issue, it's really just an extra simple channel (IRQ?) for the CPU bus to handle the event. Animation? come on, if I could play all those games, why not on this platform? My guess is that the only thing is probably just the cellular signal, battery handling, and data syncing that could be costing heavier performance issues.

So if the platform can have a terrific way to handle cellular signal, battery, and data syncing while not losing a whole lot of CPU/memory resource, then we can have a much better experience. And perhaps one day, we can play the next Bioshock on Android? I'd love to see that day come.

Religious book v.s. techy book...

Two nights in a row, I had the option to read either 'Head First Java' or 'The Reason for God - Belief in an Age of Skepticism' and both nights I chose to read the latter. Not sure why I do that, perhaps I am feeling a bit guilty that this book has been sitting on my bedside for longer than a year now and I've never read over 100 pages of it (total < 300 pages) Or maybe I am just a bit spiritual?
