Today’s meeting goes on as usual on 12:40pm at the C-block computer lab. Most of the members turn out on our weekly meeting.

Today’s lesson is conducted by Chong Hor Kong on “batch” command. After all explanations, a task is given to members to fortify member’s understanding towards the batch command such as define variable, mix two variables together etc.

The meeting ends at 01:20pm. After that there is a short meeting for the AJKs by the President.

Yours sincerely,

Tey Kai Yin,
Secretary of Itanium Solutions 10/11

Today's meeting began around 12.45pm. Attendance was lower today due to the fact that trial exams were on the way for the Form 3s and Form 5s.

Nevertheless, the lesson commenced. Today's lesson was about batch files. After a simple introduction about what were batch files and how they worked, students were soon working on theirs. Simple commands like echo, pause, variants, nul and loops were taught.

The students were attentive today. After bringing up the topic of creating never-ending loops with batch files and showing them how to do it, students were soon engrossed in doing just that. Though the effort on learning that up was certainly commendable, let us be reminded that the school computers are of significant age and may not be able to take too many continuous loops in the future.

Due to the fact that it was the Puasa month, class had to end slightly earlier than usual, which was around 1.20pm. After class, there was a short, impromptu meeting with the AJKs to discuss about the upcoming CHS Cyber Games and our installation.

As the Form 3s and Form 5s will be sitting for their trials, installation would not be held anytime soon. Ideas for a lunch or dinner during the Hari Raya holidays were contributed, however, nothing has been confirmed yet. Therefore, please continue to watch the website for updates.

Class will be on as usual next Friday. To all the Form 3s and Form 5s, Itanium Solutions wishes you all the best in the upcoming exams!

Lim Li Anne,
President of Itanium Solutions 10/11

Today, Itanium Solutions made a trip to Sunway University College for a workshop conducted by their School of Computer Technology especially for our club. There were 38 members who made the trip.

All members gathered at the round table at approximately 11.20am, formed four groups and headed to Esso petrol station outside school. We took the bus, which was only 32-seater, so with 38 people, some were forced to stand throughout the ride.

We reached Sunway University College at about 12pm, and we were greeted by a handful of courteous people from Sunway University College. We got into our groups and headed to the canteen for our lunch. Then we headed to the "command centre" CCCL room where we got our briefing and a bag containing our notes. We drew lots and were split into four separate groups, namely A, B, C and D. Each group will spend roughly 35 minutes at a particular workshop and will rotate with other groups throughout the entire workshop.

We were then ushered by Sunway University College student helpers to our respective workshops, namely

Session 1: Flash Animation
Venue: CL1.1     Trainer: Ms. Mohana

Session 2: Creating 3D Anaglyph Images using Photoshop
Venue: MMPL     Trainer: Mr. Lyon Laxman

Session 3: Working with a MicroController
Venue: CCCL     Trainer: Mr. Tham Weng Kee

Session 4: Twitter Integration
Venue: CL2.8     Trainer: Mr. Terence Le Grange

After 4 rounds of workshops, we converged at the CCCL room for a conclusion. Here, Sunway University College concluded the workshop by promoting their Diploma and Degree programmes in Computer Technology. Following that, our club presented a token of appreciation to the Sunway UC personnel with a hamper. The session ended with a group photo of all Itanium Solutions members and the trainers.

All in all, it was a very educational experience for all Itanium Solutions members as we absorbed a lot of fresh knowledge from the real computer experts from the highly regarded institute. We had all enjoyed our time at Sunway UC.
