Life in the geek lane

random ramblings.....

29.3.03

Hrmmm, back at uni again. Went to the caves just out of rocky today. Ive been in rocky for 5 years and never been there! It was cool!. Went with Nick, Sarah and Melanie.... we did the normal walking through thing. Found out they also do adventure tours where you can crawl through little gaps and stuff, so we might be doing that... that would be cool!

I must be sleeping crooked or somthing, my neck has been sore... dammit... oh well, one of these days it will straighten up again.

Got some new games, been giving Splinter Cell a thrashing, its not too bad. You need a lot of patience for that game. The graphics on it are neat though! bloody amazing!. I also found out today that the reason my computer was crashing when playing cimcity was because i had the A-A and stuff turned up high on the video card settings, when i turned it down it worked! yay!. I still have the problem of random crahsing, but im almost certain its the video card now and drivers. It did it today when i had the setting cranked up hrmmm somthing to invetigate further at some stage.

Well im done with this, for some reason safari wouldnt let me log into blogger tonight.. so im using crappy IE... oh well

Time to go home... im tired

Movie kicked arse!!! Bloody good! I have to say it had some of the most graphic 'people dyeing' scenes i have seen, made me flinch... but damn it was good!

Basically about the whole 'everything happens for a reason' theme. Im a big believer in that so i was sitting there lapping it up. I enjoyed it a lot. There were a lot of little messages and stuff in it as well which were cool. *sigh* I liked it a lot.

There were 9 people (including me) there. Which was cool. There were a guy and a girl sitting in front of me, and for some reason the guy 'dissapeard' for half the movie. :S im guessing he was laying with his head on the girls lap or somthing *ponders* but i dont really know. Cant say ive ever seen that before *shrugs*

But it was cool. Now ive just had a shower and im sitting watching the cricket and playing on the internet. Im looking up the specification for the IRC protocol. Lots of info on the web for it. I think i might make an IRC client. hrmmm i dunno... could be tricky but could be cool.

Its raining on the cricket, Australia have some ridiculous score 2 for 359 or somthing, bloody india have no chance, they have 3 for 103 after around 17 overs *shrugs* *yawn* frig its boring, and the damn commentators just ramble on with shit. I guess there isnt much more for them to talk about.... *sigh*

bugger this, i think ill go to bed. At least that is interesting... :S

Soooo WWDC is coming up again! Time for me to do my usual 'yay i want to go' dance blah de blah....

Yep, its sunday, and im sitting at uni again. Not doing much, spent all day writing an exam. Its just about done. got a meeting tomorrow about it so ive got enough done for that.

Thinking about heading to a movie at 9:30, havnt been by myself for a while and it will be cool. Sun days are usually really quiet especially at the late movies.... *loves late movies with no other people in the cinema*.. so yeah, might go check out 'final destination 2' *shrugs* why not! :)

Went to yepoon last night with melanie, nick and sarah. We were all doing nothing else so hooked up and went to get some funky chips at the beach. Tried out the 'cheese chips' and they wernt too bad. The dude overcooked the chips, but they were ok. After thet we checked out the beahc, they have just redone it all and its cool. Drove back to rocky and went to cactus jacks for dessert. We were told that the chocolate nachos are really cool, so we tried and and they are GREAT!!!! hrmmmm chocolate... *sigh* I had a bit of a gut ache afterwards but the gut ache was soooo worth it.. damn it was good.

Been looking at the prog A lecture slides and to be honest they suck. I think i will start redoing them. Managed to 'find' a copy of Keynote so im going to have a play with it. If its good ill buy a copy i reckon. But yeah, the slides bite so i think i should make em look fancy and take my powerbook along and fire it up... that would be cool.

Been talking to a fella about Cocoa programming, he is interesting in learning so im giving him a hand. It would be cool if we could do some kind of project together. Im trying to think of what we could do. I have a few ideas ill just have to wait and see. He is in the prog A class i lecture and is another mac person :) yay!

*sigh* I had grotty oily fish for tea tonight and its coming back to haunt me.. icky...

Tomorrow is another week. Just got the meeting in the morning and the lecture in the arvo and thats it. Ill probably do some playing around with cocoa in between or somthing.. *shrugs* who knows..

bleh righto, time for me to pack the little powerbook up and head to the cinema... yay! Damn i like going to the cinema... going with other people is cool, but a solo mission is good every now and then... :)
