Before I forget. . .

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

I have four stitches in my leg from the removal of a small bump.
I seem to have lost my spectacles, all $4oo of them. Fuck.
I just read, between the hours of 5pm and 1:30am, minus the duration of one and a bit crappy movies and dinner (say 2.5 hours), which makes it around 6 hours, […]

Scroggins, what kind of name is that?

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

More evidence that there was a Star Trek/Babylon 5 body exchange. After watching DS9 last night I noticeced that Tracey Scroggins (aka Captain Lochleay of B5 showed) playes the Cadassian named Gilora in the episode ‘Desitny’.
The most noatabe evidence of this joint actor pool is Walter Keoing who plays Alfred Bester a regular […]

Sunbird, you rule!

Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

I wrote an e-mail to the Sunbird team:
I wanted to thank you and the rest of the team for providing the world with Sunbird. Sunbird has not only solved my cross platform calendaring issues but in a large way, is responsible for getting me a good job with good people.
Once upon a time, I […]

Timetable anxiety

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Et ego rogat, ubi est is.
Ego ridat nam iam dolere.
There was some anxiety surrounding enrolling in my classes at Griffith, as my finely tuned timetable looked to be undermined by a couple of full tutorials. However a pleading e-mail to the Psychology department’s administrator got me into them. Phew. It could have been […]

TV, a scapegoat.

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

The Television. A marvel of technology, an inanimate object. Inanimate, not animated, not alive, not sentient. Yet it gets lumped with all these unfavourable and distinctly human characteristics; it’s stupid, violent, irresponsible, explicit and disrespectful. It gets called an idiot box, accused of encouraging violence (”young people these days, from watchin’ […]

Intranet. Graphs (in full techno colour).

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Go cuff the carrot elsewhere you sick CEO.
I speak of course of the erotic stimulation that the managerial types seem to derive from Intranets, Graphs, Charts, Meetings, and shared calendars. Really, it’s disgusting. I’m sure my old boss used to whack off with one hand while (single finger) typing in calendar […]

Friggin Finally.

Bubbly it is.

Happy, haappy, happeeeee!
I have been offered a place in Griffith University’s Bachelor of Psychology course, which is what I ordered.
My God. I’m going to be a student again.

QTAC, an acronym.

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

Many people think that QTAC stands for Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre. This is actually not true though they go to great efforts to disguise the fact. QTAC actually stands for Queensland Tertiary Admissions Cunts. Being that it is the 12th and that is the date the QTAC web-site informed me that the […]
