Neopets Dupe Day
Ah, need to pia my HYP stuff... so I'll try to type very very fast and make this a quick one. Though I think I have quite a lot to type for today, thought it's mainly just about Neopets stuff.
The day began when I woke up in the late morning to burn a CD for a friend who was supposed to collect it in the early afternoon but ended up coming over in the late afternoon instead. Had to do a bit of updating for the church website as well, since it will soon be "officially" launched to the youths of the church so that they can make use of it to obtain information.
Ok, I logged in the mIRC, into a Neopets channel, to discover a little commotion going on, which soon escalated into a big one. Yep, there was something going on, a glitch in the Neopets system which allowed people to duplicate items from their Safety Deposit Box. A few people were duplicating really expensive items and donating it to the rest of the Neopets users by placing them in the Money Tree, where anyone can go and take donated items for free.
It went on for a few hours, before the Neopets admin managed to control the situation. The aftermath? Well, the items were removed (I don't think all), user accounts were frozen... but I guess there would still be some people who managed to get something out of this whole mess.
A friend of mine was telling me about another glitch which happened last year, 4th of April to be exact. The password request feature was faulty and users can request for any other user's password which will be displayed immediately on screen. Quite scary isn't it. People could just log in to other people's account and take away their items and money. Of course, the aftermath would just be loads of unhappy users and some who had their accounts frozen.
Just one more thing... The Neopets shops restock at an average rate of once per eight minutes, which calculates to about seven or eight restocks per hour. Well, normally lesser. Something interesting happened today though... From 8 - 8.20pm, there was a total of eight restocks and I think the total for the hour was at least more than 12.
Now, on to an admin matter... I'm done with my module bidding for the new semester, since I managed to get the modules that I wanted at one point each. Yep, supply more than demand... so there wasn't really any bidding going on. So, in addition to my HYP module, I'll be taking the following three modules:
Module Code : CS4274
Module Title: MOBILE COMPUTING
Module Code : CS4272
Module Title: HARDWARE-SOFTWARE CO-DESIGN
Module Code : LSM1302
Module Title: GENES AND SOCIETY
Yep, I'm finally taking a very much Biology module after many many years =) I hope I'll be able to do well for it and do something about my miserable CAP score. Okie, bathe, then pia HYP. Consultation tomorrow morning at 11am. It has begun... again.
