Well, i took a drive to yepoon and did some tiling. Just a shower this time. Managed to get 2 walls done, but that was in between stuffing around and having to drive into rocky to get the right type of glue. I thought i would have forgotten how to tile, but after a while it came back to me and i was slapping them onto the wall. As usual i got the damn glue everywhere... i think i get that from my dad. :)

Been listening to Silverchair lately, they arnt too bad. Managed to find a great music video webpage where you can download video clips. Ive got about 7 now, they fly down at around 50k/sec at the uni.

Managed to get my copy of Mandrake 9 downloaded this morning, checked it at the uni around 7:30 am, and it was down. Took arounjd 3 days, but i guess the mirrors where bogged down since it was only recently released. I tried to install it under vmware, but it has issues... major issues. Like it doesnt like the default filesystem that is allocated to partitions, and for some reason the graphical installation fails and when you do it with the text install you cant see half of the options... *sigh* i guess i wait for a patch to come out.

Been pondering again lately, being around friends is cool, but i also like my space. hrmmm more could go here, but my eyes are almost falling out im that tired... later... later

right, im off, got lots to do tomorrow... gotta mark some more damn assignments... hrmmmm running out of time *eeeekkkkk*

hrmm, played some LAN games today. Start at around 10:30 and went through till about 7pm. Was great fun, played Warcraft 3, BattleField 1942, Quake 3, UT 2003, etc etc. Also copied a few MP3's off a mate, he has like 11gig of them on his drive, so i went through and copied what i wanted. Now ive got a heap of new tunes to listen to. yay!

Going down to yepoon again tomorrow, gunna help my mate tile his shower. Should be ok, im thikning if i get down there early we can make a bit of a dint in it.

Ive got contract work running out my butt at the moment, so much of it. Marking, Unit coordination, Exam paper writing, Mac programing... geez i could go on and on. Should be good when the money starts coming in.

I found a neat little app for OS X that lets you chaneg teh color of the doc background. Its really neat. At the moment i have it set to a transparent yellow color and i like it.. Now they just need to randomise / automate the process so that it cycles every so often. that would be cool.

The final season of the X-Files started tonight. Only 9 weeks till it ends. Hrmmm. Ive already read a bit of what happens and apparently it is a bit of a let down, well not a let down, but most people will be expecting a lot more from it. Either way, i dont mind, i think its great. Gotta start collecting the DVD sets.. the first series box sets are getting kinda scarce round here. I should lash out the $100 and snap one up before it gets impossible.

Bought the new silverchair album - "Diorama" yesterday, also got Monsters INC on dvd, damn that movie cracks me up. Im a sucker for computer generated stuff... *sigh* plus its got some real neat features on the DVD about Pixar.

Righto, i think ill finish this and go listen to some tunes.

over and out.

:P

damn i was tired today, i dunno why. I need to get to bed early and get back into the swing of things.

Sent an email to the lecturer i was marking exams for saying it took me about 10mins each to mark the exams, anyway, he sent one back telling me that it takes about 20mins each and he will make a contract for that.. sweet! so i get about double the money.. damn that is cool

I have been working on a new website, but i cant make up my mind what to do. Its hard, i need a host that supports php or somthing to make it database driven. Its too hard.. *sigh* hrmmm i guess i should just stop whinging and do it..

Ive almost got the VPN program ready.. and ive already got ideas for the next version which will make it a heap better. I figure i will get this first version done with the basics for the uni, then put the next version out as a generic thing. So i get the credit for it and stuff, that way i can use it.

Im looking at nitro cars again at the moment, man i want one still. $800 they cost, and would be great fun i reckon. Im just wondering if i should just lash out and buy it or whether its going to be one of those phases... hrmmm I hate being one of those people that thinks deeply about every decision... grrrrr
