Debian GNU/Linux version 4.0r0, codenamed "etch", was released on April 8th, 2007. I am now switching over to the "testing" distribution codenamed "lenny".
It's been a rather long time since I last posted. In short, my Teaching Practicum in Juying Secondary is drawing to a close. I have one more week in the school, and they are having their mid year examinations, so no classes to teach, only invigilation. Will be going back to NIE after that, and get my final school posting, to begin teaching as a full-time teacher from the start of Term 3.

NIE Supervision Coordinator
My NIE Supervisor for my practicum is Associate Professor Kwek Leong Chuan. Seems like quite an interesting guy, has research interests in quantum information science.
Will be contacting him on Monday (tomorrow). Will also be contacting the Principal of Juying Secondary.
Have a floorball game against Skools Innebandy in a few hours. The results of the games played so far are less than spectacular for NTU Hurricane. Will we pull off a miracle with our Swedish Hurricane back in town?
In other news, a fellow teacher trainee at NIE and an advocate for GNU-style freedom has found his way to this blog. He had a letter in the Straits Times forum on 1 April 2006, about the Singapore Government adopting the OpenDocument Format (ODF).
Interesting, because I was actually working in MINDEF when it made the switch to OpenOffice.org, and got to see the ground-level implementation process and the reactions of staff when this change was forced upon them.
Interesting, because I once had a letter in the forum too.
Won't it be lovely if Microsoft one day becomes compliant with open standards?
