just a thought

this may be a little unconventional for an official blog -something i wouldn't have done in a different circumstance, let's get that one straight. but while i take this to be somewhat inappropriate and rather personal, i've decided some things needed a general consensus to be executed. sure, seeing that semester is about to wrap up for the year, i doubt i could pull some last minute meetings with my team, let alone the common students to discuss matters regarding facility abuse, et cetera, et cetera. and when this entertaining, yet aggravating show of one person's ludiscrous behaviour rendered this blog into a non-constructive medium of shared thoughts (phew!), i felt and knew this was a chance to hear what everybody would have to say. in short, something needed to be done, and quick.

don't get me wrong, my intention is not to feed the child's ego by posting this up, but i've been thinking; assuming he is among us, allow me to take him to be as just another unsatisfied, amusingly enraged taylor's student lashing out at everyone, particularly me (you flatter me too much) over work stress. he's raising an issue -shallow racial and religion insults aside (something i've come across one too many times) -and so we aim to solve. therefore, let's focus on the root of the problem(s):

digilab facility abuse:
on one end:

- countless students've complained the installed games in digilab's desktops are a terrible nuisance, especially when coupled with boisterous gamers who come over to play while they want to focus on their work
- the hogging of desktops for game-playing reduces the amount of available computers for students who come to work
- apparently, these gamers are rude, disrespectful and lack the sensitivity to think of the larger population of students who need the computers -we don't all have this precious facility at home, you know?
- straight from mr patrick kee: no games are allowed to be installed in any of the computers and should be immediately removed, period.


but, on the other end:

- work can be kinda crazy, we all need some kind of escape -perhaps we should get tv?
- negotiations are an option -setting up rules, the freedom to play at certain hours and yet maintain sensitivity towards the ones needy of computers for working
- game playing is allowed provided respect towards the rest of digilab population is maintained by behaving less like monkeys.


feel free to cast your vote at the poll at the sidebar, argue constructively, and have your say. majority wins, and we'll work it out accordingly.

thank you, goodluck for finals, happy coming holidays and cheers.
