hrmmm, well things are going ok... sent off the proposal for the website today, read through it like 5 times and was happy with it so its gone.. now i wait and hope they go for it... *fingers crossed*

run into a brick wall with the vpn thingy... seems that getting an NSTask and NSPipe to send info to an interactive terminal app isnt as easy as i thought... grrrrrr... no ive got to find another way to do it.

I found out today that my new mobile can work with yahoo messenger... damn cool... so ill make good use of it while my free wap/gprs is still going..

Also installed windows XP service pack 1.. and surprisingly it didnt frig anything up. It seems microsoft have added a new 'feature' where you can get rid of microsoft programs and use different ones if you want, i.e. if you dont want i.e. it will 'hide' it and let you use some other browser... the thing that annoys me is that it doesnt actually remove the shite, but just hides the damn shortcuts from the desktop/quicklaunch/start menu... what a crock.. what i wouldnt give for a program that will uninstall all the shit that comes with windows xp.. i mean who really wants windows movie maker installed by default with no otpion to remove it... sheesh...

hrrrmm, im feeling like some ice cream... might go for a drive and get some...

whew, its been a few fast packed days. Went and saw some people about a possible webpage job, things are looking good. Just gotta get the proposal done and drop it in to them, im planning on doing that by tomorrow.

Been working on the uni VPN thing, found out yesterday that the way i was authenticating was a bit dodgy, so ive scrapped that idea and going with something else now. Im confident the new way will work. Other then that i have the spawning off a new task to run the client which is funky, i just gotta read up on the inter process communication, but i had a little look earlier and i think it will be ok.

Went and saw my phd surpervisor today.. damn ive been slack with it... i havnt donw squat in the last 3 weeks, bu wih everything thats been going on its kinda tricky. I figure i need to concentrate on the job side of things for a while.. then i can worry about the phd side of things.

I think ill go check out a movie tonight, got a mate whos dropping by so that might be cool. I went and saw "the sum of all fears" and "signs" on the weekend. "The sum of all fears" is inda long winded, like the story goes on and on and then suddenely the bomb goes off and the baddies are killed and the credits roll... hrmmm "signs" on the other hand was way cool, totally unexpected what happens in it... and i must say it is a bit scarey... he he

righto... ive gotta be off and get some food, Jerry springer is almost on and we all know that that is a MUST SEE tv show.. :)

yay!, lunch time!
