Hey everyone, First of all, the sections in brackets are extra details that can be skipped and the message should still be comprehensible but the brackets represent side notes, footnotes, thoughts, extensions and other such fundanglery that makes life worth living or at least my blog worth reading or laughing at … As for my over use of brackets that probably comes from the fact that my brain thinks 3 times faster then most people, hence I have more sub processes, hence faster and more indirectly linking between thoughts, it is either that or the fact I enjoy Scheme / LISP programming which also uses lots of brackets. Second of […]

Hey, Being trying to get QUT’s services working with Gentoo properly. I lost my usb stick this morning. (The silver one that was 1GB but Windows damaged to 512mb and that is currently partitioned as FAT32) H drve only works using mount (smbclient gives an error) so I made a bash script to mount my H: drive for me, I also got Wireless Printing working using CUPS (this will make my life so much easier.) Steps 1. Click Administration tab, Click Add Printer 2. Type in a valid / relevant name , description and location, click continue 3. For device choose Windows Printer via Samba, click continue 4.

Hey everyone, Feeling a little better now, although, how one feels is quite relative. Best thing that has happened so far (besides having a Mathematical Modelling Assignment and C assignment todo) was returning home late at night, normally I would have been driven, but the other night wasn’t the case. On my way up the hill, I met an old Greece / Italian lady with a broom, staring up at a possum and whacking the tree, to try and knock it down. Inside I chuckled to my self (beware IT Joke / pun coming), as I had already a photo of a possum on a bin at Uni (/bin/possum) and […]

Salutations in moonlight Truth … Lies …. Secrets … Surprises … Honesty & Chivalry war in my mind’s eye Seeking Compassion & Redemption For Crimes Not Committed For Glass Shards that bleed my barefeet And yet don’t exist, or perhaps my feet aren’t there I couldn’t be certain, and yet I couldn’t be wrong The damage done and only realised post mortem If only consumption was enough One day you will all get the keys To play in the ball pit and do as you please Hopefully by then my half-life will have decreased But perhaps we seek the pain and damage To prove we are real, as having faith […]

Hey everyone, Uni is back, had my first Mathematical Modelling (mainly ODEs based) lecture today, and the lecturer who is new to QUT, mentioned over crowding and yeast that said “Life is crap, this place (petri dish) is crowded and crap, I want to die”, to which the entire lecture room laughed, and I had to suppress a shout of Emo Yeast!!. On the last week of the holidays I spent lots of time at Ruben’s, because he had his LAN party (which wasn’t bad) and his birthday which was awesome, I met lots of cool people, demonstrated my skill or lack there of at pool / 8 ball. Cries […]

Where there is smoke there isn’t always a house burning down

Between lighting the fire and my current pastime of cooking Chiko rolls (pan fry as apparently baking them is treason to their iconic Australianism), the closed windows because it is winter there is little piece between then shrill howl of the two smoke-alarms that do their jobs oh so well (setting off at least 8 times consecutively for lighting a fire in fireplace and 3 (make that 5) for pan frying Chiko rolls) I prefer open fires to fireplaces as there is so much more freedom, as your not limited to a small cubic box and my Chiko rolls are much more black / charred then their advertisement claims. (My […]

Hey everyone, This was going to be an audio post, but I don’t feel like talking /recording at the moment. Anyhow I have lots to cover. First Things First (Because they can be first, second or last and it wouldn’t matter) and keeping them brief so people can’t use excuse it is too much read. *sighes* Over the holidays so far (since after the Trolltech BBQ), I have attended a 75th birthday that was so much fun. It is really fun to be able to catch up with family friends and their family. Funny or interesting sub-events at this event included: The cute children and the newborn baby (terribly cute). […]

Hey everyone, Lots has been happening over the last few days. I did my Linear Algera exam (*crosses fingers*), it was hard as I didn’t do enough study (as usual (as it was clustered) ) and the stuff I did study wasn’t really as relevant as I needed it to be. The next morning (morning-after) I went to uni, to catch up with Cheater, Ruben, etc, and Cheater and I went war-walking with Cheater’s new GPS (thank goodness his blog is no longer forbidden, but it does have Paris Hilton as the latest topic, which is almost the same. *SUBLIMINAL Message to CHEATER* *Talk about your War-walking instead a stupid […]

Hey, This goes out all the Maths people I know. It also intends to be one of my shorter posts. Gamma Song MathmaticalPi Flax, Burlap, Flannel And quoting Ivanhoe (because I love Burbank Films Australia animated feature film which I have and watched on VHS) “Second to NONE,” said the Pilgrim, who had stood near enough to hear, and had listened to this conversation with marked impatience. All turned toward the spot from whence this unexpected asseveration was heard. “I say,” repeated the Pilgrim in a firm and strong voice, “that the English chivalry were second to NONE who ever drew sword in defence of the Holy Land. I say […]
