My last post was in May? So basically, it's Junior year and I'm more busy than ever. Over the summer, I took Precalculus and Trigonometry and that took up majority of my time. I traveled to Oklahoma for the 2008 ... http://jeffchan.org/archives/i-am-still-alive/ On my last post, I shared some pictures showing student protests against the proposed 10% budget cut to education. I never shared my thoughts on this subject though. Some background information before I start rambling. Back in January in face of a 17 billion deficit, California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, proposed a ... http://jeffchan.org/archives/the-herd-of-sheep/ The sign was up on the school quad on Tuesday. The whole school district was supposed to have a rally against the "supposed" budget cut, on that day at Sacramento, the state capital, but it was "canceled." http://jeffchan.org/archives/terminate-arnold/ Today, I witnessed the most hypocritical "rule" I've ever seen.

What the hell? Since when did Taiwan become governed by China? It's common sense that the Chinese Communist government has absolutely no sovereignty over the island of Taiwan. This isn't even a debatable issue at all. China simply has no control of ... http://jeffchan.org/archives/facebook-taiwan-province-of-china/ Thank goodness the break is finally here! As usual, my task list is full of stuff: read history chapters, book report, RuneWire client, GHOP, portfolio, robotics, various code fixes, etc. GHOP with SilverStripe has been particularly interesting. I've completed 6 tasks so far and I'm definitely going to do more. I've ... http://jeffchan.org/archives/robotics-team-site-remake/ As you've noticed, I haven't blogged in a while. Mainly because of working on the GHOP Contest. You can read more details about it on the site. The open source project I picked is SilverStripe. It's basically a PHP framework that gives user-friendlyness to website authors but at the same ... http://jeffchan.org/archives/announcing-my-first-silverstripe-widget/ I clicked on the "show subthread" link in digg before the page finished loading and got this XD http://jeffchan.org/archives/oh-noz-i-broked-ur-commentz/
