Another late blog entry from the wonderful world of Brett...

Ive been playing around with MySql lately, managed to get it running and setup on my linux box, also got phpMyAdmin working, makes it so muche asier to do stuff :), all i have to do now is start playing with php a bit more.

I got aksed to submit my resume for a sys admin type job at the uni on friday. It sounds pretty cool, so i emailed my resume off. If i get it ill have to reorganise my marking and stuff. I might have to give some of it away to fit it all in :)

Im still writing exams for uni as well, got the draft looked at and it is cool, just have to make some modifications and see the lecturer next week. Im also still marking, but i dont have many this time, which is good :)

Got a call from my ex, weird things going on there again. She asked if i tutor her for the computer graphics exam coming up soon. I had a good think about it but then gave it a miss, its not worth the trouble it will cause considering what is going on. For some reason her new boyfriend seems to think i gave him a lift one day and told him all this crap about her, which is a total crock of shit, i wouldnt know the dude if i walked past him, ive seen him twice and thats it. He also denied coming round to see me... weird, considering i had someone staying here at the time that saw him as well. sheesh... lol it just gets better and better by the month :) damn i should write a book.

There seems to be noone on ICQ lately, i dunno why. It goes in spits and spats really. At the moment the icq conversation is very slow.... *sigh* If anyone reads this and uses icq - send me a message sometime for a chat - 55176979 - thats my icq number... dont be shy :P

Ive been listening to Avril Lavigne lately, dunno why. Its catchy music. Also be stocking up silverchair and a few other random songs that take my fancy.

hrmmm, i dunno what ill do tomorrow, maybe go check ou a movie and go for a drive, who knows.... hrmmmm

well thats about it. Im sitting here looking for somthing to do... i guess i could always go to sleep... *sigh*

What is the point of having a blog?, hrmmm really there is no point, except that it is a place where i can write stuff just for the hell of it. I think it will be good to look back on later as well. Some people probably think it is weird, but i cant see why. I find that i think about things better if i write them down. Things make more sense if i put it in writing, makes me think about what i am actually writing about.

so there :P

Made a bad stuff up today, realised i was meant to keep a log of the marking result i did for computer graphics. The problme is that i realised this after i had taken them back and they had been returned to the students *eeekkk*. Anyway, i was a bit worried, but shot and email to the lecturer and he said it was cool, he will just get them to return the marking sheet with their second assignment. easy. And here i was getting worried.. :) Just goes to show that things arnt as bad as they seem :)

Not much else is going on. Im heading to Newcastle in november somtime for my sisters 21st, should be cool.

hrmmm... shower time... *yawn*

yup, i think about it a lot. The whole "what am i here for" question... and in the end, after pondering for what seems like an eternity, i always come to the same conclusion... I DONT KNOW.. yep, thats it... thats all i can come up with.

hrmmm I kinda reckon that things happen for a reason, and in some way everything that happens was meant to happen and everything that is going to happen, will happen, no matter what you do. Your decisions are the things that determine the path you take, but your going to end up at the same place in the end... that one point where your meant to be... gawwwdddd

I wrote my first exam today, well draft exam anyway, Ive got a meeting on wednesday to show them my draft. Hopefully it will go well. Im not 100% sure yet how to allocate marks, but hopefully that will get sorted out on Wednesday.

anyway, back to the topic at hand. I feel like im not in the place im meant to, but what i am doing now (in most ways) relates directly to the big picture. The whole PHD thing is still up in the air for me. Its going no where, its boring, and my motivation just isnt there. Really there is no point me doing it. I know i am not going to be a hard core academic at any time, so really there is no point. Its 8 years... count em.. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8... yep 8 years of study, to get somthing that really i wont use. Id be better off doing somthing that is going to be useful later on. I guess i need to think about it, but the time will come where i have to make the decision.... Its been about 2 months already, and really i havnt done a great deal. Ive read and everything and discussed some stuff, but its like fighting an up hill battle, and it shouldnt be like that. hrmmm damn i hate that.

bleh - im working on a new website.... it should be pretty neat i think.

*yawn* - arrrrrrrr!!! dammit... im going to do somthing...
