Thara: Bus improvement
http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2009/01/bus-improvement.html
Friday, January 9, 2009. Another idea that I am sure people already dreamt about:. The bus should be fitted with a rack at the back so that cyclists can hang their bicycle. It shouldn't be too expensive, and it will promote more cycling. February 11, 2009 at 3:22 PM. These exist (though only on the front of a bus that I've seen), eg:. February 12, 2009 at 12:05 AM.

Thara: Australian train...
http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2009/02/australian-train.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2009. In the last month, I had privilege to "enjoy" Australian train. The trip was simple: I needed to travel to Wollongong for AMSI summer school. . Interestingly, it was cheaper for me to travel to Sydney first before backtracking down south to Wollongong. Then, it made some sort of sense. Countrylink (the train operator) was having a promotion on the trip between Melbourne and Sydney. This was fine with me, since I wouldn't mind meeting my friend in Sydney. . Ok, I was a little...

Thara: Beyond Zero Emission
http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2009/02/beyond-zero-emission.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. On the last Saturday, I had a chance to meet some people from BZE, who introduced me to an idea of compiling a solution guide to our current climate woe. . So, if the government lacks a political will to do something we feel deeply about, what do we do? To convince the government into action, as we have specific achievable short-term projects, which bureaucrats understand;. To initiate discussion among environmental organisations towards solutions; and. View my complete profile.

Thara: Cool conceptual gadgets
http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2009/02/cool-conceptual-gadgets.html
Monday, February 16, 2009. Is currently running a design competition for the best "green" gadget. Now, I support the idea that we should search for more innovative design, but I also like to point out there are number of people who misunderstand the real meaning of the word "green". . One thing that I notice is a lack of imagination. Having said this, there are some interesting concepts:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The quest for his own theorem.

Thara: A week of cycling
http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2008/12/week-of-cycling.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2008. A week of cycling. It's been a week since I got my fifth bike in Australia, and I already I rode at least 250 km. In that week, I lost about two kilos of weight which I believed to be the result of having cold and cycling. . Place that I went:. Wed 24: Kew Boulevard (1.5 laps). Thurs 25: My friend's parents house in Burnside height ( 24 km from my house): I didn't like the head wind on the way there at all, but the road is flat. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I finished a...

http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2009/03/transportation-network-coordinated-vs.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. Transportation Network: Coordinated vs Anarchy. Recently I wrote an article for Paradox (Melbourne University Maths and Stats society's magazine). It can be found on page 21-24 on this issue. Below are the first few paragraphs. On the surface, this question seems easy to answer; one can. Set up a model of the system;.

Thara: Part 2
http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2009/03/part-2.html
Monday, March 2, 2009. The second idea is bus rapid transit. Unlike conventional bus system, BRT is its new interpretation. It has most of advantages of train system without its cost. There are no complete agreement on what constitutes as BRT, but to me the following rough idea will explain what I believe to be BRT. So, what elements can combined to form BRT? Cheap per mile in comparison with train and tram. Easy to implement. In general, the route should coincide with the one with high bus usage....

Thara: Clothes of size S shortage
http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2009/05/clothes-of-size-s-shortage.html
Sunday, May 3, 2009. Clothes of size S shortage. As much as I would like to claim that I am indifferent to opinions of others, but that is not the case. With this, I realised that I only have one jumper that I don't mind wearing to university. That generally translate to; I don't wash my jumper for a long time. So recently, I was on a search for my next jumper. . How hard is it to find a decent jumper that fit me? Anyone with answer, please tell me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). First week in PhD.

Thara: 2009 Budget on Tertiary Education
http://supasiti.blogspot.com/2009/06/2009-budget-on-tertiary-education.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. 2009 Budget on Tertiary Education. Just went to a public seminar on 2009 budget and tertiary education yesterday. The speakers painted somewhat darker picture of the budget. I only remember some of aspects:. TEQSA: this will be a new institute that the speakers hope to fill many gaps between the government and the universities. Since there is no real guideline on the role of TEQSA, many hope that it will act as a regulator to ensure that the minimum standard is met by all te...
