The blog has remained static for quite sometimes. Let me see what I have to update you guys and gals. Post-convo. My convo took place a week ago. Whenever I come to think of it, I can only say that time just passes by and everything on earth does fade away. The euphoria on convo day now remains memory; just another piece of nostalgic event.

Post-convo bears another meaning too. Exactly like what Fooji mentioned in his previous blog, I am now an official graduate of University Malaya. It simply means, working is my responsibility and duty now. Have been applying to various positions within a company and among different companies since 3 weeks ago. So far still no news.

Anyway, the amazing understanding I found lately is about fundamental electronics. Well, applications that required intensive to mild computations all based on the basis of "the presense of electron" and "the absence of electron". In short, Boolean logic, of 0 and 1. Execution of a piece of instructions in machine language, which consists of a huge amouny of 0's and 1's in different combinations, is made possible with the manipulation of electrons using silicon (transistor, IC). When there is a movement of electrons, it means 1 and vice versa.

When someone says something about processor speed and indicates the number of calculations per second that it can performs, he/she means the actual number of flip-flops or manipulations of the movement of electrons per second?! Correct me if I am wrong. It is real complex and complicated to understanding all the underlying concepts and workings of computer hardware.

Balik-balik juga kepada 0 and 1.

Electrical and electronics engineering derives from "electron" and its movement. Quantum engineering or even nano engineering will go further than just merely movement; they explore and manipulate the properties of sub-atoms to perform calculations. There lies the crunching power. Still a long way to go though.

Balik-balik juga kepada complexity dan un-understandable.

Next sharing of knowledge : hopefully, about automata and complexity theory. This is one of the core courses in Computer Science but it never exists in UM. Out of my own interest, I search for its tutorials and notes on the Web.

Balik-balik juga kepada pelajaran "baik bergantung pada diri sendiri daripada bergantung pada orang lain".
