Hi everyone, 2 weeks in. Had my great aunt’s 80th birthday party yesterday. It was quite nice. We arrived at little late which was slightly embarrasing, however the venue was simply smashing. It was a cross between woolshed, old english cafe, and a store that actually had cross generation kitzch items. The desserts were awesome, (I enjoyed a large slice of banana cheesecake), despite the fact that they were all out of waffles (They had served waffles for a party of twenty earlier that morning, .

Hi everyone, One week till my Birthday and I don’t feel any different or any older. I have time now, but seek part time employment that can assist in reimbursing my dwindling bank account. I have been busying myself with LANINGRAD (which could have been better), coding PHP, studying for next year, helping various people with their Linux related issues, including the reverse engineering of a Linux BSP for the Colibri PXA27X board and various other ends. My foot is still slightly sore, rebecca (the eeepc1000h) replaces ulrica which is still being fixed. My NAS / ivanhoe is at Altech and I waiting for other people to pick up there […]

Hi everyone, My head hurts courtesy of the 4 hours sleep and the lethargy attempts to consume me whilst choking and hicupping madly. Threadspace Hyperbol is an interesting distraction, and my reflections on psychology, humanity and other odds ends prance about like a young elk in the spring time. I am now free from scheduled uni contact time till next year. However I am still required to sort out the CRA mess for one of my group projects, if the lecturer gets back to me, and also to start work and study on two of the subjects I am doing next semester. (repeating Advanced Calculus and project work for the […]

Hi everyone, I have been quite busy, but not as productive as I would have liked to have been. I got to watch most of The Alzheimer Case last night and I recommend it highly.

Hi everyone, I know what I said. No more reading extend paragraphs of text which appears to be mildly interesting or boring depending on your emotional attachment to knowledge. Instead there was supposed to a bright flash based audio player that streams my voice (not that it is really anything all that stupendous, but it is mine and parapharsing Jewel “This voice is small I know, but it’s not your’s it is my own, but it’s not your’s it is my own, I am never broken. “) to whoever wants to click the play button. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. So you will probably have to keep on reading or […]

Short, sweet, late and unpowered and yet feeling awesome.

Hi everyone, Just got back from a weekend conference on the Golden side of things. The speakers were very motivational and awesome. Despite my current lack of laptop, I feel awesome and empowered. This post was intended to be short but the best laid plans of mice and men and all that 😛 , it would be an audio blog, but Audacity is still playing hide and go seek with the USB mic and my ac adaptor melted some of the metal of it and the new one doesn’t come to tommorow. So I have gone the entire weekend without net and laptop which has been more challenging than anticipated. […]

Hi everyone, I normally apologise for delays, but I am not actually sorry. Any how lets get down to updates which I really wanted to record, hence giving you a video or audio blog instead of what has been referred to by my readers as addictive useful random junk and mountains of monotonous ramblings that cause sleep. University is back. I am doing 5 Subjects. 2 Maths and 3 IT. So far they are all equally awesome. I am doing TCP & IP , Unix Network Admin, Scientific Programming (aka C & C++), Data Visualisation & Analysis and Advanced Calculus. (dealing with multi variable and differential beasties) As I have […]

Riverside Gentoo minimeetup and other such fun….

Hey everyone, Just briefly blogging about the mini meetup we had at 2pm today, I got to catchup with fox2mike, Redhatter and ivanm from #gentoo-au, it has great fun. Redhatter has interesting non photogenic photos of me in his gallery. (I was picking up the napkins he dropped and the wind blew away.) We also received numerous unusual looks, as most city going folk haven’t seen four Gentoo geeks in a circle talking about computers, electronics, compiles and puns galore. Neither had the tourists seen 3 laptops in a row at the riverbank before, so they took a photo of us. LCA time seems to make all Australian Linux Users […]

Hi everyone, How are we all ? Silent and uninterested as usual. This update like the last one should have been written and posted earlier, my apologies to anyone who suffered as a result of the delay in writing this. Java Blues (You can get blue coffee ?) I begin to realise know that most of the problems with my code not working aren’t due to typographical errors or silly mistakes but rather due to my unfamiliarity with the Eclipse Plugin Architecture and the Eclipse View Architecture and to a lesser extent Java itself. I also realise that if I had been in contact with someone familiar with either of […]
