Never thought that a module can be so interactive. Hey guys, btw do you have any idea what kind of facebook widget you want to work on? This is interesting.

If there is a function that it can act as a group where people can twit a msg to an account and have the msg forwarded to all the account's followers then that will be pretty useful. Anyway I wasn't being serious in wanting credit for twitter part. Oh, by projects actually I do not only mean CS3216's projects. I still have my FYP and my iPhone app! financially OK= no nagging by girlfriend. A hard figure would be around $2000 per month. I plan to do this through freelancing rather than getting a full time job as I think I need the extra time to make sure my projects bear fruit. Yes it is my last semester so time is running out!!

Actually, it’s probably more important that the class makes a difference for YOU, since this IS your last semester. ;-) In any case, what does “financially OK” mean?

Or maybe it is just that we are too old and think about such stuff all the time. Love your comment about the SEO for CS3216. =) Now that you mentioned it, I thought, when the first answer was given that “I am from Year X…”, that they were kidding, but I guess there is just a different interpretation of the philosophical question that we thought it was.

Nope. It is a lousy idea to take CS3216 to try to get an A 'cos there are MANY MANY easier ways to get a good grade. If people are here for a good grade, they will probably regret: (i) most of the people who were worried about their grades last year, didn't get very good grades - this is not a class about grades, it is about passion. (ii) anecdotal evidence has shown that it is not implausible that the time taken to get a good grade in CS3216, might cause all other classes to suffer, thereby resulting in a lower CAP. People should just take CS3216 because they feel like taking it. The higher curve in CS3216 is basically due to the higher quality of students that CS3216 attracts and also in some ways, compensation for the pain inflicted upon them..... but remember, "What doesn't kill you, makes you strong". :-) “And if you go by last semester’s statistics, you have 50% of getting an A.”
