Good Customer Service or…

…did she want me? ;)

While I was away in Sweden, my Canadian SIM card got lost so I had to buy a new one. On Saturday morning I went to the Roger’s boutique and asked how much a new SIM was. The girl told me it was $25 and she could activate it on the [...]

Last Post from Stockholm…

Well, this is it. I’m leaving Kungshamra in a few minutes. Although I’m happy to be going home, I’ll definitely miss everyone here. Bye bye Sweden… :(

Leaving Sweden Goodbye Party

I realized it’s been ages since I’ve posted any pictures. I have a few (about 3-4) events to catch up on and I will probably post them once I have some free time back in Montreal. But for now…

Last night my corridor mates organized a small going away party for me. We had [...]

I’m Done University!!! :)

Do I feel much smarter? Not at all.

Am I glad this university business is over and I will be back in the work force again? Absolutely!

A few weeks ago I was notified that my career start date has been moved up to July 31st because they want me to attend a special training [...]

"Ummm…Are You Finished?"

This afternoon I wrote the GSM networks exam that I was slightly really worried about. The exam was scheduled for 09:00 this morning. I started studying yesterday, but was concerned because although I had previous exams to practice with, I didn’t have the solutions!

Around midnight I was speaking to one of my classmates who informed [...]

Goodbye V…

I was right. I did make a mistake. I’m single again. I’m sad about that for now, but give me a few days and I should be fine (hopefully.).

On Saturday morning I found out that V has been cheating on me since last week with one of her work colleagues. No further questions please.

Yes, I’m [...]

The Home Stretch…

Alright, so the VoIP and Musical Communications projects have finally been completed and submitted. It seems I overestimated my abilities…the teacher said that the VoIP paper would require ~50 hours of work. I figured “If it takes an average person 50 hours, it should probably take me 20 or so”. It ended up taking me [...]

Audio, Video and Emotions Experiment Results

Background

Studies have shown that music is an integral part of filmmaking and can have a profound effect on the audience. However, only until relatively recent times has more intensive research been conducted. One example of this was an experiment by Oliver Vitouch titled “When Your Ear Sets the Stage: Musical Context Effects in Film Perception” [...]

Convergence of 3G and VoIP & IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems)

This is where things start to get really interesting. The convergence of 3G (high speed, “always on” Internet access) and VoIP drastically changes the playing field. If a mobile operator were to offer Internet access, without any value added service(s), then they would become nothing more than a wireless ISP. At that point, the only [...]

SkypeOut Offers Free Calls to North America!?

I refused to jump onto the Skype wagon even when I heard about it over a year ago. However, while finishing up some research for my VoIP Project I came across this article:

Skype Introduces Free Calls to Traditional Landlines and Mobile Phones in the US and Canada

Needless to say, I’m downloading Skype as I’m [...]
