No more exams! Saturday exams are a cruel, cruel and unusual form of torture Hopefully did alright in all my papers - ugh, one or two of the examiners just threw the most random crap in. On the plus side, I got up the courage to google one question that really threw me and I did get it right

Break time. I finally got together the money and there's a pricedrop ahead, so hopefully late next week = Xbox 360 time*. Oh, and my exchange is being upgraded to ADSL2+ next week (with no extra cost on the monthly plan..take that Orcon), so there will be no shortage of fun time for the three week break. Then back to the grindstone again. Which I have a feeling will be the routine for the next seven years or so

So far though it's been pretty mint, even after the initial 'wtf am I doing here and oh god I think I hate my major' issue. Which is safely resolved. I changed to Psychology and now have many many years of fun learning ahead!

* to everyone that called me a casual gamer, TAKE THAT SHIT BACK THE SIMS 2 IS HARDCORE. I'm serious. You try sitting down with SimPE and tell me that's not hardxcore. Which is what I am off to do shortly

I got a guy coming to pick up my old PC that I sold on TradeMe, yay! In about twelve hours. Problem? Someone has thrown out the drivers >:( Now I have to run around trying to find drivers to get the Ethernet working to activate Windows. This guy seems like a newbie, he should not have to deal with that..so I get to do it..oh, hurrah.

I really should have put as-is in the auction, but it seems people come and bash the shit out of you if you do: [link]

One time I sold my old iPod and the guy who bought it threatened to come back and beat me up if it didn't work Hopefully this computer will work. It does! It did..it will, it has to

I fed sparrows out of my hand in Albert Park today. Never knew the city birds were so tame. They'd even jump up and hover to grab the bread from your fingers.

It was seriously the cutest moment ever.

(short journal is short and looks better on page)

I broke my Ubuntu install on my EeePC, quite spectacularly. I need to reinstall Linux on my EeePC. This requires a bootable flash drive. To make a bootable flash drive, a working Linux install is required. I broke my Ubuntu install..

Currently installing Hardy in a Parallels VM on my Mac. Last time I tried this it did not work, but everything seems fine now. Oh, a blank screen...looks promising..

Dear Apple, please make a subnotebook (no, the MacBook Air isn't one) so I can have one of those instead. Sadly this will happen about the same time they release a mid-range upgradeable tower (see: never) so I have to learn to love Ubuntu. Y'know, I love it, when it works. I fully accept that what I did screwed it up and it is (mostly) my fault (although there's a couple of things it ruined all by itself, thanks).

Meh. I still would like a Mac laptop, but I don't want a full sized laptop, too much hassle. The Eee goes almost everywhere with me, it even fits in my (larger) handbags! Plus every girl I meet and several guys all think it's adorable. If you are a guy, get one and you will get surrounded by chicks wanting to have a go on your 'cute baby computer ^______^'. Heck I even bonded with a random guy over the merits of overclocking it's processor and installing Ubuntu on it (his had XP, bah!) so it could even get guys for a geeky girl

Woah, the VM is actually booting, I AM SAVED
Maybe

At least Linux is interesting. Macs are too stable. There's never any issue to fix so I have to invent some obscure functionality that I "need" just to have a challenge on a boring weekend. At least that does not contain the panic factor as in "OMG THE LAPTOP I TAKE ALL MY NOTES ON IS SLOWLY BECOMING UNUSABLE". Although giving up is never an option, even if I don't REALLY need iTunes streaming to an unauthorized client..which I still haven't got working..yet...

Oh well. Home all weekend it looks like so I have lots of time to do this. Ubuntu, you better treat me better next time (and I promise I won't do that thing again to screw you up)

It just occurred to me that since I upgraded to Leopard, Corel Painter may actually work if I tried installing it again. IT DID! Yesssss, now I can do awesome paintings again! Seriously, painting in Painter just smashes Photoshop into the ground in terms of blending.

Oh Painter,we have been separated too long <3 I fully recommend trying it. And no, Painter Essentials that comes free with Wacom tablets is not anything like Painter and is, in fact, a piece of shit.

Bad week, is now over, still have far too many essays to write. Oh well. At least for Sociology I get to rip apart Garth George, shouldn't be too hard.

Remember kids, bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks
