Feelin a little 'out of the loop' so to speak at the moment... hrmmm, dunno why... bleh

Went tiling again today, its looking good, amazing how much bigger the rooms look, damn i like tiles :), i need to take pictures to put up, hrmmmm

Bought a new ibook bag, the STM one, parachute ultra, and its sweeter then it looks on the page, i should take pictures of it as well, i was gunna write a little review on it just for the hell of it, i may still do that, but its funky, it has a little ibook puch thing inside that can come out.. he he, its neato.

Was speaking with a guy at the uni, things are looking up out there.. he was aksing about my linux experience, said he had some stuff for me to do once i start my phd, so that should be cool... I really need to start reading some stuff for that, ive browsed through one conference book and marked papers to photocopy, i dont find out till around 18th april if i get the funded position or not, so its cool.

Watched 'enemy at the gates' tonight, its not bad...

Ive been playing around with webobjects, and its damn good... better then i though (how dare i underestimate apple). Anyway, im really getting into it, along with it and cocoa my spare time is filled to the brim, its cool, i love learning new stuff...

hrmmm, anyway... Im going to surf the web mindlessly.... *sigh*

la di dah dah!!!.. i got an email back from the people from interarchy this morning. I applied for a job with them that was advertised on the AUC webpage that a friend sent to me. Soulds cool, they are a small company but i think it would be pretty good. Oh well, im not getting my hopes up... *cool calm and collected*

Ive been playing jedi knight 2 a bit lately, i got my light saber yesterday after having to do this funky jedi test thing... the light saber is rad... its better then any big gunny blasty thing... *swoosh swoosh - swings pretend light saber around*

Been working on my sports draw program as well, its going good, should have a version ready for release soon.. (yeah ive been saying that for a while, but its getting close).. Im thinking whether i should do a PeeCee version as well, but for starters i think ill just release a mac version and see how it goes... macs all the way! he he..
I was talking to my mum about it, shes is kinda the cheif, number 1, advisor :) since she had a lot to do with the local netball association and the original program was written for her to use. Im going to add other features to it.. so it should be cool...

Had a meeting witha client yesterday, (for my current job) and its kinda icky, i dont wanna say much, but i get a dodgy feeling about it... hrmm anyway... it might be ok..

Been applying for jobs all round the place, i figure i may as well, it doesnt hurt anything and i can use it to guage how the whole IT job scene is going, and also get a feel for how good my skill set is. hrmmm its all good...

bleh bleh.. ok, back to my sportsdraw... (after i get somthing to eat..)

he he

mmm, i heard on the news this morning that the australian government is considering paying the current illegal imigrants in the australian detention centre to go back to their own country, somthing like $3000 plus $500 for each kid. Im sorry but this is totally screwed up.. for starters these people are illegal imigrants!... the government is doing what they can to do everything to get them out, but they have to take precautions and everything before letting all these peple out. I watch tv and see them breaking out and wrecking the place, and here is some fool suggesting they should pay them to go back.. makes me wonder what they will do when they get back, sit there for a while, spend all the money then jump on another illegal boat and head back to australia. Im all for allowing people in, but when i see friends of mine that have applied properly about 2 years ago, still not here, and these people float on in, get sheltered, fed, medical care etc etc, and just kick up a stick and whinge cause their not getting treated right... Im sorry, but i say just send them back, dont pay them... sheesh... theres plenty of people already here that could do with that money, especially since its sooo friggen difficult to get any kind of assistence when you really need it...
I dont think this is the solution..., maybe the process can be streamlined, but these people have to be patient.. they are illegal imigrants, they have shelter, clothing, food, medical and everything that is needed, they shouldnt be put up in some luxury holiday home or anything like that, just the necessities... hrmmm, damn it annoys me....

bleh bleh
anyway...

i got jedi knight 2 today, and its great!!, im on the easiest level and its still damn hard... but ill work at it.

Im still working on cocoa stuff... its going well... i got an email today from the person from the uni who is going to wwdc, im going to have a chat with him, so that should be cool.

hrmmm, anyway..... i think ill go get some food...

Ive been kinda busy, the last few days
but ive still got time to admire the rays..
of sunlight that fall and warm my face
i wander slowly, there is no pace.

Theres a longing in me for somthing more
somthing to take me, so i do not bore.
with the general flow of life and its choices,
basically ive gotta follow the inner voices.

So i float along, with a weight off my mind
the more i search, the more i find
but also more questions are also found
a noise in my mind, that has no sound.

i consider these questions a kinda good thing
they make me think, make my mind start to sing.
with a rhythm and beat that i cannot describe
a humming in my body, my head full of vibes.

ill go with these thoughts and let my mind float
ill try not to ignore them and surround them with a moat.
take each day as it comes and let it slowly back away
im here for a reason, ill make the most of my stay.

*barrrrfffff speeewwww* mmmm, arrr i feel better now thats out. :)
bleh bleh bleh....

hrmmm, i read the time travel thing on slashdot, and its got me thinking. Stuff like that alweays gets my mind ticking over. That maths problem article also got me thinking... i dunno, i find it interesting.

ICQ is screwed today i think, hrmmm, i dunno why. The next episode of big brother is starting again tonight.. dammit... watchign those shows makes me shiver and feel like i want to strangel somthing... the worst thing is that bloody primus is hosting their website, so i am expecting problems wiht their internet access as all the idiots start hitting the webpage and killing it.

I rang again this morning about my long distance calls, and 'surprise surprise' got someone that could hardly speak english... I dunno what it is about primius, but when i ring up i have to wait on hold for on average about 30minutes, then when i finally get to talk to somone, 50% of the time they are speaking some extremely weird dialoect of english, and 80% of the conversation is spent with me asking 'sorry, what did you say'... hrmmm, anyway, apparently the phone will be connected by this afternoon...(which is what they told me each day last week, but im a fair man, ill give them another chance)... I think ill check it at lunch and if its not done just ring staright through to complaints and go stupid at them.... grrrrrr, sure they are cheap, but their service is shit....

anyway, enough talking about stoopid, silly, primus....

oo!, 30mins till lunch time... yay!
