woah, its almost been a week since my last blog. hrmmm what has been happening...

Ive got uni work running out my ears.. geez. Lots of marking and stuff, subject cordination etc etc. I finished marking computer graphics this morning. I woke up around 6am, cause the fella that was staying up here was leaving. Anyway, i was going to go back to bed but i though 'bugger it' and marked instead. Got them all done and took em out to uni. Aomthing else i can mark off the 'to do' list.

Uni network speed is amazing now, they put a new switch.. 100meg / sec is some sweet download speed. I lined up Redhat 8.0 to download (3 cd's) and the first one came down in about 20 mins! dang!... that reminds me, i need to go out and get the off the harddrive.

Wiped away my XP box today (again), damn thing was playing up, but i think ive found the problem. I updated the VIA 4 in 1 drivers for the motherboard and things are looking good. Made a ghost image as well, damn i liike ghost... theres somthing about taking 10mins to have a machine completely installed that appeals to me. :)

Went to yepoon again today, checking out my mates bathroom. He finished it off last week (grouting and stuff) and its looking pretty good.

I dunno what ill do tomorrow, hrmmm

*sigh* - i read some stuff from some site about the political crap that web people get into. There is like this totally different culture out there that i never knew existed.. sheesh, and i thought i was boring :) bleh... that doesnt make sense cause i dont have the article to link to...

There were bull sales up here last week. One sold for $55,000... yup 55K, 55 big ones... 55 with 3 zeros after it... a new monaro with change! for a cow.. or technically a bull .. hrmmm

Ive decided im going to start taking my camera with me and take some random pictures. I dunno yet what ill do with em, but we will see.

Im still working on my 'new' webpage design. Should have somthing done soon... ;)

righto, im going to do somthing else...

be good kiddies...

But it melts in the sun like a life without love
But ive waited for you so ill keep crying out
Without You"

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*
