So im playing around here, just picked a new template for the hell of it. Ill see how it goes.. maybe it will grow on me...
hrmmm, so lets try blogger again, maybe this time it wont chew my blog up and shat it out... *sigh*

Sooooo let the exam marking begin... gunna be flat out for the next few weeks marking exams. Should be ok, ive got 2 subjects to do but i think it should be ok. I havnt yet emailed the people about lecturing programming A next term, i really need to do that soon. I think it is oweek next week (or maybe the week after) gotta get organised.

I should get my new powerbook tomorrow, it was ordered a few weeks ago so technically i should get one of the ones coming in the batch that arrived in australia today.. *fingers crossed*

My grandfather is getting worse and worse everyday, the cancer is just basically eating him away now. He cant move or eat or anything, mum says its only a matter of time. I will head home for the funeral whenever it is, i couldnt give a shit about work when it comes to somthing like that. I missed my nans funeral and it is weird not actually being there at the end. So im not going to do that again, ill get home anyway i can. Id say i will get a plane from rocky to brisbane and get a lift with some friends. Should be cool.

Got a new game - command and conquer - generals, its really good, good for blasting sutff and so forth. I think simcity is still the favorite. Its got lasting power i reckon.

Had a meeting with my PHD supervisor today, it was cool. I am getting a dual processor G4 to use at uni! kickarse!!, hopefully with a superdrive and everything. That will be cool. He was telling me about the stuff thats going on and gave me 2 tasks to start on. One if writing a digital certificate generator for the P2P application him and another fella are working on. At the moment to generate a digital certificate tyou have to do 2 pages worth of commands and crap, s of course having that done automatically would be cool.
The other thing was writing a distributed/collaborative groupware drawing app that will run over the P2P system they are developing. Its basically going to be used to test out the system. Its pretty cool. I reckon i can do it. At last i get to do some cool stuff. Might actually egt me motivated to do some work.

So things are pretty much flatout for me, next term will be full on with lecturing and everything but i think i can handle it. Plus its good experience.

hrmm well i guess i better stop riting and see if blogger is going to work for me.. *sigh* *fingers crossed*
