Wow, blogging has been sloooow lately.
Been really busy - marking and lecturing and so forth. Havnt touched any PHD work in weeks, seems working to pay the rent is more important. :)

Got back from Brisbane, went to Dreamworld while we were down there, it was cool - its changed a lot sicne i was there last. Managed to crack my windscreen on the trip and had to get a new one - $200, not bad i spose.

The wobblebook saga continues, i took it back to the place and they took a video of the wobble, apparently thats what apple wanted to see. Now i wait again. The bloke told me that apparently there was a problem with the first batch of 12inch poerbooks - the bottom case wasnt as rigid as it should be, and apple are tracking it, he said i should either get a new powerbook or a replacement bottom cover... i dont care as long as they fix it.

IM GOING TO WWDC !! yup! i got a student AUC scholorship to go! Should be cool. Ive spent the last few weeks trying to organise everything. Im staying with 2 other people to keep costs down. The cheapest flight is with Japan Airlines via Tokyo, so that should be cool. Got a 6 hour stopover on the way back though... but you get that i spose. Wont be bad to have a look round.

hrmm, apart from that, its the same old thing. Id like to have more time for PHD stuff, but its just not happening. thems the breaks.

The OS X app is going great guns! Things are progressing really well. The backend part is basically all done. Just working on a simple an neat interface. Hopefully we will have it done before WWDC.

OK, ive gotta go see a woman about exam marking, the people that check them have found adding up errors... as expected... *sigh*
