Right on.

I really have to start reading these 17 research papers. My God. :s

PERHAPS I SHALL, NOW.

Oh, yeah, Funeral Quest is only configurable on Windows machines. gg :(

Paste.

is hot.

I’m thinking of dropping one of my subjects before the August 31st cut-off date. I can’t work out the C programming in it. It’s really pissing me off, because the rest of the concepts in the course I’m fine with – it’s just this programming assignment that has me rooted. I’m waiting on my tutor to reply to my email but if he doesn’t get me on track in time I’ll just have to cull the bastard (and the course).

I really should write my own post again. I think I’ll steal this stuff, it’s gold.

Apart from that, my cat is still sleeping on my mousepad regularly while I’m at the computer. I’m surprised actually that he doesn’t leave more hairs lying around to confuse the lens on my optical mouse. He must be discretely considerate. What a good little chap.

A fun distraction, if you can be bothered playing it daily: Funeral Quest. I’m trying to get tofu to put our own version up on the dot server. Here’s hoping he’s not too busy with SCRABBLE.

I have a mozzie bite next to my right nipple I think. Maybe it’s just a third nipple I never noticed. I’m sticking to the mozzie story. Itchy bastard.

I’ve set up rednut (my other PC) to do some distributed computing projects like protein folding and SETI@home. Otherwise he wouldn’t be doing a whole lot.

For some reason, kos, morg and tofu’s results aren’t coming through at all for the protein folding. It’s really weird that all three of them are getting binked. Hopefully it fixes itself up. I made a dot team for the folding, and joined the OCAU team for SETI@home, as no one else seemed interested in doing it with me. :'(

Saw Chandler last Tuesday and again on the Saturday. Was good to catch up with him finally. Saturday was pretty fun, we just chilled out and later caught up with Benecke and Byrne. We didn’t really get a chance to see the Wallabies lose, which is probably a good thing on what I heard about their performance. Later on I finished watching Starship Troopers back at Chandler’s until 2am or so. That movie rocked, I always meant to see it years ago but never got around to it.

On Sunday Lou and I went to Crows Nest again for a double date with Laura and Alex. We hit up Pinos (it was packed out to the BULLSHIT) and I stuffed myself on gnocchi then we dropped in to Bravo’s for some gelato. Mark was working there so we had a nice chat to him over our icecream. Mmm. The gnocchi was good but it had nothing on the bonar chicken burger from Chooka’s Chicken up the road that I had on Saturday! My god was that tasty. I’m so going back for another one soon. Maybe I’ll take Lou there to show her what I was talking about. I’m salivating at the thought. God damn.

Have to go in to uni tomorrow for a meeting about my INFS3020 project, it’ll take all of 5 minutes I’m sure. Maybe I’ll swing by Crows Nest with Lou for a chicken burger while she’s killing time for work or something. The only problem with this is that it means I’ll have to try and find a park at uni. Maybe I’ll be in luck since it’ll be Thursday and all. Hrmm.

I always get a bit self conscious about the song that comes up in my post (when I’m listening to one). I get self conscious when I have to talk about what music I like listening to, as I feel people are always judged on their tastes (I know I do it :s). Not to mention people always go on about defining genres, etc. I’m crap at that. I like plenty of music, I just don’t like talking about it. SO THERE. Some songs I have at random but I feel they’re a bit too “trendy” to be a fair indication of my taste, so I’ll skip it until a cooler one comes up for my post. I bet I’m not the only person who does this. Anyway…

I’m sure everyone will respect me for the song I have selected. Out.

Shot.

The men’s shot put final owned. Good old shot put. :D

Anlezark was disappointing, though. He seemed to be totally psyched out. It was clear that he wasn’t a medal contender, but to make the top 8 and be the most successful Aussie shot putter ever one would have thought he’d just go balls-out and throw like a mad man when he got his final 3 throws – it’s not like he had anything to lose. Instead he went soft and failed to perform. Oh well.

The guy who ended up winning it was awesome, and deserved it. He threw 21.15m twice then finished up with 21.16m to tie with the American leader on the same distance, but with 5 other fouls. The winner (I forget his country :s) won on count back. His consistency was solid enough that he earnt it fairly in my opinion.

I suppose it’s really only the field events I care about at the olympics. I somewhat take back my previous statement.

I’m still drinking white Russians. Good old Lebowski. Mmm. Need to buy more vodka and Kahlua.

Olympzzz.

I’ve never been that in to the olympics. Big whoop I say. I’d be more interested if it was pro-doping just so I could see some freaks owning everything. Oh well.

I haven’t written in here for a while, I’m in a winter-lazy mood. Yes, that’s even lazier than my regular lazy mood/lifestyle. Yes. Bubs wont shut up about the China versus Cuba women’s volleyball either. ><

Uni work is starting to build up its pressure on my conscience. Maybe I should start doing some. :s

Winesoc dinner tomorrow night. In Newtown at Thai Land. Should be good. $30 for a good meal with wine included. Quite a few friends coming too so it should be a fun one. Fortunately I have uni in the morning on Friday as well! YES!

My arm hurts I cbf writing more. Ladedah.

Slick.

I picked Bentley because it’s the first luxury style car I thought of, as I don’t know much about cars (they’re crap).

However, I AMZ TEH BLING!@

Blergh.

Sore throat. Ouchies. Probably not enough sleep. It got me a sickie yesterday at least.

Big Lebowski didn’t end up getting played at uni on Tuesday, they fucked up the DVD that they hired (isn’t it meant to be illegal to hire a movie out to screen publically?) and accidently got Fargo or something. Not that Fargo is a bad movie, we just didn’t feel like watching it after we spent the last week or two and the whole day getting excited about seeing it (as Lou still hasn’t)… Oh well, Saturday perhaps!

Gotta leave for uni soon. I hate early tutorials when that’s all that I have on for the day. How sucky. :< The subject's website says we have to hand some work in each tutorial, but the tutorial questions came with answers this week… ? They were also labelled "week 3" even though it's week 2… I'm so confused. At least I'll hopefully have some time now to buy my textbooks I guess, as I'll have a few hours (ie, 5) before work tonight.

Bought Doom 3 on Tuesday. As most switched-on reviewers have commented: it's an ordinary game on a terrific engine. It is basically a tribute/near-remake of Doom 1. Linear gameplay, weak story, weak characters and no real replayability. It looks beautiful though and the lighting effects are amazing. I had to crank up the gamma through the in game console to be able to see anything though… I think it's perhaps a little too dark most of the time.

The multiplayer is fun (and it feels very, very smooth) but will be short lived. I’m pretty sure the id boys concentrated all their time on making a solid engine that they knew they could license out to other developers. The hype about the singleplayer experience (whilst still a fun game, it’s AI is weaker than that of Half-Life’s and the story is even weaker) was just to make BIG dollars. It appears they’ve already released the source code to certain developers (I know Quake 4 is being made off a modified Doom 3 engine) and I think a map editor is included with the game. Mods will keep this game alive (and there will be many!).

Now we wait for Half-Life 2, which appears to have a more dynamic engine (and most likely a great storyline and experience). It’ll be tough to match the smooth movement that only id seem to be able to provide, though. Still, it’s very possible. Apparently the latest Unreal Tournament is meant to have a killer engine. Unfortunately, I’ve always had issues with the way the mouse and player movement feels in UT. Hopefully the latest one is smooth sailing.

About time I cleaned my teeth and went to uni I think. Huzzah.

whipaCHOW.

Of course, I’m sleepy again. I only post in here when I’m sleepy. Maybe that’s why life sounds so boring in here. Maybe I’m just boring though. Whatever.

Had a big bludgy day at uni today. Managed to hit up some Thai Times 9 with Asren and Lou. Also bought some beads for Lou from the Bead Company. Expensive little bastards. That place must make a killing. I took her round to see where our flat on King street is as well. Lots of walking. Whee.

Saturday night was good fun, a nice big gathering of chums (including Helena and Asren, again). We went from Ship Inn to the Australian to the Lowenbrau to Maccas to Ship Inn to Pancakes on the Rocks to home. Lloyd and Eri didn’t soft out for once. It was impressive. Good to see the rest of most of the usual suspects as well.

I’m already in lazy mode for uni, it’s got me worried. I have to buy the text books. I was going to buy them today but the queue was way too long. I also have to pay at least $175 for only two text books. Gotta love that. At least I get a bit of a discount due to my Co-Op membership.

Tomorrow I’m meant to be watching The Big Lebowski with Lou at Manning Bar in the afternoon. I tried to talk Helena in to coming along, too, on Saturday night. Don’t know if she’ll be up for it though. Hmm.

I tried out that Manhunt game by Rockstar. The one where you go around viciously murdering gang members. Some 17 year old killed a 14 year old in America and they’re blaming the game for inspiring him, as the 17 year old enjoyed the game. Personally I think that although the execution videos are very graphic, they still come off a little comical (and entertaining, even; at least from a curiousity standpoint, perhaps) and the gameplay is fairly boring and repetitive. The AI is dodgy and the process of taking them out is simply laborious. If that 17 year old was inspired by the game to kill that 14 year old violently, he’d have to already be pretty fucked up anyway to be able to play the game long enough to be influenced by it. Blame the parenting and the fact that some people are just bad, I say.

I’m really bored lately and just can’t be stuffed doing anything productive, or even counter-productive. I just sort of sit around waiting for something interesting to happen. I really need to start doing some uni work, or preparation for assignments or something.

I hope the bracelet Lou made me is cool, I’m sure it will be. We got some nice dark red beads and a few B-grade garnets, as they’re my birth stone. :) Whee should be good tomorrow.

Palmy and tofu spent most of the weekend making the dot movie. Apparently it’s roughly 400MB to download. I think the dotmaens are getting a special DVD version though that’s higher quality. Should be cool.

Wrists hurting. Waah.

Intolerable.

Strikethrough is over-used these days. It’s just not funny any more, it’s cliche. DAMN YOU ALL.

On to other things… I didn’t go to uni today, I figured I’ll be a hardarse and miss my 1st and 2nd lectures for two subjects respectively. Tomorrow I get a sleep in before work as the tute I’m meant to have doesn’t start until next week. Wow.

Also, I’m going to ‘s for dinner tomorrow night for lamb roast. Apparently it will be cooked. This is comforting news.

Got my “hands” on KMFDM’s last two albums tonight. Been meaning to check them out for, well, a few years. :/

I’m almost at the end of Jagged Alliance 2, although there’s some side quests and zones I’ve skipped. I think I’ll be alright though. I got a bit disheartened in one of the last sectors so I started playing Fallout all day, then had a stab at Fallout 2 after midnight. They’re ok. Probably would be a lot more enjoyable if I played them when they were released. The interface just feels a tad clunky compared to the standards I’m now accustomed to. :o

By the way, yes I’ve left the strikethrough on intentionally. Until now.
