random ramblings.....

9.3.02

god!, i slept in till 1pm today, sheesh! i must have been tired... anyway... i listened to an enya song and kinda liked it so downloaded a few more to look at, they are pretty good...

Been doing some work, cold fusion, its not bad... eating little pizza things for tea.
Felling really good... mmmm

oh well... back to it... gotta get this done to get back to rocky and start planning WWDC trip !!!
gee, blogger is back up again!.. mmmm well another week is gone, got a lot done today at work. I think i will go clos to getting it done this weekend. That way i can bum around a bit before i go back home. Im kinda excited about my salary review, ive got a good feelign, even though everyone has said the raise wont be much, mmm ill wait and see.
I havnt been doing a lot, other then work lately, i plan on chaging that when i get back home. Having had time to sit and do nothing... and i hate that, i like being able to just sit and think. Oh well....
Still looking forward to wwdc (hopefully i can go), and also doing my phd... it looks pretty funky. *sigh*, i just dont wanna be sitting around doing nothing, i want to be learning stuff and doing new things, not stuck in one job doing the same thing over and over.
I got an email today about a job at the people that make Interarachy for the mac, so i might check it out...

*wants a mac programming job*

arrrrr, thers nothing like lying in bed with my ibook... Ive got the sorest shoulders and neck for some strange reason... i hate that.. mmmm Ive been getting a lot done lately, it seems the more ive got to do the better i go, ive got my review documents under control i think and my phd application is also coming along ok.

At the moment i am haging out to get back home, being up here is ok, but im sick of not really being able to settle, i seem to be living out of a bag (well i have been for the last month), mmm anyway, i should be heading back around the 16th as the project im working on at the moment finishes then. When i get back i will be flatout trying to get my phd application in and fill out a wwdc choloship thing before it closes, whew... thats an important one. :)

I havnt spent much time pondering lately, maybe ive been too busy, which is a piss poor excuse i know, i should make time. mmmm I dunno it seems that everythings going alright for me now. *sigh*

Done a lot of cocoa tonight, getting close to finishing off my first book which is cool. Im getting pretty confidant that i could whack together some pretty simple little apps. Im really keen to do that and start spitting out some of the ideas ive got in my head.

It seems lately i have been enjoying being by myself. I dunno what it is, but im quite happy to do my own thing, maybe its cause i know have the chance after going through a stage when i didnt really have the chance, mmm i dunno... but yeah, i like being able to do what i want when i want... but then on the flipside having someone around to chat to is great..

Ive been thinking lately about what im gunna do next, and the whole phd thing is really looking good. Im waiting to see how my salary review goes next week and see what happens. mmm but in the mean time i just keep going along doing this and that...mmm

arrr well... im done with blogging at the moment...

Arrr another day of work finished... whew, got lots done again today... I was a little worried earlier int heweek that i wouldnt get this project done in time, but the last few days have been great, and i think it will be cool.
Found out today that i have a salary review next week... mmm should be interesting... ive got lots of questions to ask, and im expecting a fairly good raise. I guess ill have to wait and see.

Cant wait to get into my new cocoa book!, but i think ill finish off the other one i have first. i dont like half reading books for some strange reason....

mmm, oh well, enough of this, im going to play a game for a while, then get back into some productive work, mmm maybe either cocoa or more cold fusion..

:)
*chanting* I got my new cocoa book today!!, I got my new cocoa book today!!

arrrr... Too bad im up to my neck in work shite, that is slowly drowning me and making me smell bad... *sigh*
Oh well, i think ill get it done so i can do cocoa.

*chanting* I got my new cocoa book today!!, I got my new cocoa book today!!

oooo!!, visited the Apple University Consortium page this morning and noticed that they have the 2002 WWDC scholorship info up... Time for me to get my arse into gear and become a student again. Looks as though i will have to apply through AUC, but that should be cool... mmm ok im gunna go finish my phd application and apply asap.
grrrrr where is my damn cocoa book.... *sigh* Aint much to write in here... all ive been doing is working and chatting and playing some games. mmm oh well....


*sigh* *sigh*

mmmm, doing some work work today, thought id try to get ahead a bit.. still doing cold fusion, which is cool, its not that hard... mmm

Been trying to download LOTR soundtrack, found a few songs, just waiting for them to download to see if they are any good... if they are i think ill buy it... *thinking*
I installed Unreal Tournament again as well, thought id try it on my new computer, runs pretty damn good, looks better then my 233mmx with voodoo 2... arrr how things change :)

Oh well, enough rambling about nothing... back to work...
another day gone!, whew... got some of my phd application done.. which is good, also got a lot of cocoa done as well.
I got an email this morning telling me that my other cocoa book i bought had been shipped, so it should come soon.

Havnt been doing much else... thinking a lot... about nothing in particular, which is good... keeps my head working i guess.

I seem to work better at nights, dunno why....
ooo well

gee im boring.... *yawn*
