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, This post is long overdue I know but given all that I am upto, those who actually bother will understand if not tolerate. Invites are sent out. Currently I am sitting in an empty house, with no way to get down the range to the train station to get to the city. But I figure I know when the last train leaves & I have the phone number of the local taxi service, so I will properly get packed up & down there in time. My mood is frustrated but pensive with bouts of indecision, intensive loneliness & isolation and the occasional sprinkle of hope. I am listening […]

Hey everyone, I am currently sitting here, cleanly out my laptop’s 100gb hard drive, and updating as much software for my Gentoo as I can since I had to leave the software updates to the weekend as their were several blockers (packages that can’t be installed with other packages), but I believe I have them all sorted out now. Other current blockages include our toilet which has caused the most grief this weekend. Because it is a septic system it isn’t just as easy as using a caustic or acidic solution like Draino to unblock, and we are currently using an enzyme based solution which may or may not be […]

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. […]

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 […]

Mathematics I survied my first mathematics exam. In hindsight I should have studied more. Besides not fully remembering the rigourous definition and proof of limits and running out of time and being confused by implicit differentiation syntax I didn’t do that bad, IMHO. The MAB111 exam was also very stressful unlike the IT ones. I was annoyed going into the exam because I didn’t know the subject material fluid (only in bits and blocks) and as much as I like to only blame myself, I definitely sure there were other factors invovled. Stuff that annoyed me: The formula sheet (7 pages) had all the formulae expected for the ones you […]
