What's Buzzing? - Hit By Haze

Yup, our country seems to be hit by a haze caused by open burning from Indonesia, it seems. Just when the weather appears to be stabilising, this happens. Ipoh is not affected too much by it  but in Johore and   KL,    it seems too be quite bad - forcing some schools to close.

Update: Seems like it is just getting worse in Ipoh here as well  this evening.

What's Buzzing? Best Free Software for Mathematics

I have been trying out Maxima and Smath Studio and they are both pretty good. However Smath doesn't do symbolic integration but it is still worth checking out.

Sage is also worth mentioning but I find it not as Windows friendly as Maxima.

What's Buzzing? - Ice Cream With Bread

As I wrote before, I had a dream about eating cheaper ice cream. Well actually, I had  a dream about eating cheaper ice cream with a bun. So just a few days ago,  I went to buy some low cost F&N King's cookies and cream ice cream but felt the buns were a bit too expensive so I tried it with bread at home. Seems to taste okay but possibly cookies and cream is one of the ice creams  that go well with bread. The bread was actually wholemeal bread from Jaya Jusco La Boheme bakery which tastes nicer than the normal wholemeal bread that is available in most shops. I suppose white bread will do fine as well.

Running Program

Am not trying to lose any more weight but trying to stick to a running program. Have reduced my running program to 6x400m now, due to some problem with my knees. I also run on the spot faster for a count of 100 to 400 as part of the 2 minute sessions during the day. Still run around 2 miles - one mile of which will be at a faster pace on alternate days. Seems okay today so far.
