Eniac is completely dead

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006 | Life

Well, now that they have locked everyone out of Eniac, suprisingly, there is nobody here. Looks like I will have the lab to myself pretty much every time I come in here after 5 (there are a few other people with key fobs, I don’t know who they are but the numbers are small enough that the chances of seing them in here – well, it may eventually happen this semester. Then again it may not).

Next phase in the SoC conspiracy is to complain nobody is using Eniac and suggest we shut it down. It’s a conspiracy I tell you, don’t let them fool you into thinking it isn’t!

How to fool a wiretap

Slate magazine have bee kind enough to provide information on how to stop law enforcement agencies (or indeed anyone else) tapping your phone (well from what I read it just prevents them from recording it effectively). Have a read.

The clock ticks on

Is WordPress slow?

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006 | Life

WordPress seems to work really slowing when posting things. It doesn’t seem to affect my blog much but some of them it seems to take ages posting something, especially when there is an image in the post (I think, because I virtually never post images here but I always do with the news blogs and such). The rest of it seems fine, just posting. Wierd.

EDIT: Ok, to be honest, that was really slow as well.

Tripping

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006 | Life

Oh man, some stuff had just gone to my head. My computer has been on for well over 48 hours now and if I move out of the position of typing I get all kind of wierd pains. Which is wierd as I spent Sunday in bed ill.

Looking around I room, there is crap covering the floor, clothes, papers, stuff that’s important no doubt, I’ve swept most of the stuff that was lying on my bed into the mass too.

Approaching the door I reach down and take a swig from a bottle. It says lilt on the side but what I’m drinking ain’t lilt. It’s not alcohol either, truth be told, I don’t even know what it is.

I need a fix, need my next Fredo but I’m trying to come clean.

And through all this one question burns into my mind. Why am I narrating all this in the present tense when it clearly must have already happened as I’m here typing about it.

Aweful and awful

So apparently it’s spelt awful. Huh, learn something new every day.

Monday

Monday, February 6th, 2006 | Life

Yeah ok, so the title could use a little work. But I didn’t really feel like something random and there was nothing really appropriate for me to put in there as I’m not really posting about anything. At least I don’t intend to, it might end up that way.

Still not feeling greet though I’m well enough to make it through uni I think as my SE12 lectures are now done with so that means I don’t have a 3 hour block to deal with. Well at least today, I still have one tomorrow. The lack of SE12 lectures means I also finish at 1 on a Wednesday now but then I need to do the project work and most departments give Wednesday afternoon off for sport anyway. Damn computing, they know we’re all nerds who don’t play sport.

This weekend should be pretty crazy I will be filming for Nightmare 90210 this Saturday, like all day probably and there is a film making social on Sunday night which is desperate for material so that is going to require some mental editing together Saturday night and Sunday.

MySpace

Does this look familiar?

Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred.

This error has been forwarded to MySpace’s technical group.

It’s like every other page. It boggles my mind how MySpace got so popular considering it has to be one of the most unreliable websites on the internet.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Sunday, February 5th, 2006 | Life

About 2/3’s of the way through this movie, it is really messed up (and therefore good :p). The guy just had a lizard tail. Yeah, it’s random and it doesn’t really appear to make any sense but it seems like a cool movie.

General life update

Saturday, February 4th, 2006 | Life

Wow, I’ve used this title before.

So anyway, I’m feeling a bit better at the moment, well enough to spent some time on the PC. I’ve been doing a bit of work on Movie Liquid which I’m quite fired up about at the moment. I still have a lot of work to do before it is finished though.
