Hey Everyone, I am finally settled in, in the city. Uni is back and I am working hard and having fun, Laptop screen isn’t fixed, but HDD is upgraded to 100gb and battery is already fixed. I also now know how Brisbane transport system works. Speaking of systems reminds me of my new subjects MAD (008, Modeling Analysis and Design, information systems ) and Linear Algebra (MAB312, linear systems.) It is good to see that the Greenroom hasn’t changed much. Still gamers, still same amount of 2 years hanging around (possibly a few more), although we are missing Adios, Everest and CS 1.6. I misplaced my gaming cd case,if anyone […]

Hey everyone, Today is my first day living in the city, and it seems to be absolutely great so far. I am currently waiting for my laptop to return from warranty repairs. Back at Uni I am, a week early, planning and organising numerous tasks and exploring my new surroundings. I got a new bed and its so comfortable, and my new room is so cosy :). I went and bought my IT text books for my subjects this semester and I managed to get them second hand. (Yay!!) But the price still made me grimace. I only need to get the Maths textbooks now and some more pens and […]

Hi everyone, Sorry that this post is so late, but I didn’t get the photos back and uploaded till after LCA2007 (See the following post for more on that). I am now official 18 (well 18 and 1 month and a bit), I can now legally choose to abstain from certain benefits of being 18. One such benefit that I won’t obstain from is the one which allows me to transact in online commerce. Paypal, Ebay, etc here I come :P. My birthday party was hosted at The Sofitel on the eve of my birthday. The preparty (Organised by my mother) was fun , and I hoped I mingled enough. […]

Hi, (Server is UP Now) The Birthday, Christmas and New Years post is still in draft form (as I am waiting for photos to be developed, so I can scan and upload). All the while I have been shopping yesterday and preparing for LCA 2007 (lca2007.linux.org.au) which is a much slower process than I expected, I suppose it would be a less slower process if I focused more on getting ready than on helping people in #Sabayon on OFTC.net. I actually managed to finish packing and went to the Upfront Club to listen to Cloudstreet, albeit an hour late. They were awesome, they played the “The Green Man” and their […]

Starting from scratch…… (WordPress / Firefox / Vector Calculus/ Goodness else knows ate my last two attempts at this post ) This post is later then it should have been sorry for the delay and I still have the mega Christmas, Birthday and New Years one to write, and it feels so weird to type it all down. Last week I went to city with my dad to drop off my laptop to warranty repair guys and to inspect and apartment in Brisbane. After dropping off my ASUS A6KM (It has screen blemishes from pressure since I bought it (new retail I might add)), we were driving back to city […]

Hi everyone, I haven’t blogged for a while despite the fact I should have, but lack of everyone else updating has rubbed off on me if only a little bit. I am loving all the comment spam I have to delete, must recently a semi Shakespearean false definition to a dead link. I have been slowly upgrading my Gentoo and preparing for / backing up the under warranty repairs. Also have been playing ET occasionally on Internode servers (I just discovered why my guns kept getting jammed. Low mouse sensitivity on touchpad.) I also went to a small but LEET lan courtesy of Ruben, and after Hell and high water […]

Freedom, Irony, Coincendence, Love

Hey everyone, All my five exams are over (lost two lives on the maths levels but gained two on the IT subjects) and till next February I am temporarily free. (No more University till February) Irony seems to like to throw itself on me, with coincidences and random events occurring all around me lately. From bumping into people, hearing love songs after witnessing fist fights, dealing with friends and acquaintances in similar scenarios, cliched pop cultures references leading towards mockery of anything sacred, people striving for difference that in doing so they become the same. However, that doesn’t mean all fun and games till then. I have already compiled a […]

Hello everyone, A number of changes will be happening to the write style of my blog. It will be come more weird and unusual, less clear and narrative and filled with more whimsical crazy things that I do or come across. Blog hasn’t been updated in a while, unfortunately. This is because of switching servers, downtime and lack of clarity and inspiration. (I wanted to update so much during the downtime but couldn’t.) UNI University is going great, onto the second semester exams now. Already completed OOP (Object Orientated Programming) exam, just have to study for the rest of them. (mainly mathematics). Also I have being stealing unis (uniforms) as […]

Hey everyone, Headings this post. (You shouldn’t get so lost.) Maths Assignment / Skills Portfolio / Project Madness Back from One Week of poorly used holidays. (Got sick and lethargic) Still as busy as ever. I maintained to complete the majority of my 2 mathematics assignments on time :). First wave of assessment is over. Wave 2: Skills portfolios, Wave 3: Projects, Wave 4 (The Big Boss) Exams. I will be coding almost continuosly over the weekend, if not the next 10 days in order to deal with the second wave of assessment that seems to be target locked to my being. Whilst I probably won’t get an amazing high […]

Hey everyone, Long time no post, because the web server hosting my site (courtesy of Nick Stallman) has had IBCD (Infected bash commands disease, long story short messed up glibc linking in all bash commands :)). I also suffered an cold, sore throat, mucus, fever etc superbug which I have recovered from due to time, sleep and lots of garlic water (Yes it has another purpose besides warding off vamprical beings). I have lost my invitation to Ruben’s (Really, really nice guy / hacker (Combine him and Nick Stallman and Me with computers, sugar and caffiene (which I don’t have) and you have 3 elite hackers (the good kind (has […]
