Spent most of the weekend installing a new HD – which of course includes repartitioning, reinstalling XP etc etc.
During this i realised another reason i like macs so much. It took me the whole weekend configure everything and set it up. I had numerous problems from the drive not being recognised by xp (even though it showed up in the BIOS), to the partition table stuffing up etc. I hate how the windows updates have to be downloaded evry time, why cant they let you download an updater that you can burn to a cd and run later? nahhh thats too easy, instead you have to logon to the internet and download them all – which would be ok i guess with ADSL, but with a dial up modem its just a pain.

Anyhoo… its all going now, ive got more space and XP is behaving itself for the time being. *sigh* The more i use my laptop and G4 at uni, the more my PC computer just becomes a games machine.

bleh

Feeling crummy today – dunno why…

Got my confimation of candiature coming up soon, gotta get my butt into gear and do it. Have to do some documents including a literature review and stuff, and also a talk… bleh… joy.

Im spending a lot of time lately sitting at uni doing nothing, nothing as in doing other things instead of the work im meant to be doing. Procrastinating i guess… its driving me nuts… Its jsut hard to get into gear, i could make up a bunch of excuses, but really theres no point, ive just gotta do it. (wow thats gotta be a record for the most amount of commas in a sentence)

So yeah, thats what i gotta do. Might have to just force myself to do it. Might stay at home a few days a week without having the distraction of email / internet etc etc, see how that goes. dunno.

Got paid – thats good. Paying rego put me behind a bit – i paid a full year to get it out of the way. The next few pays though should start putting me ahead hopefully. Also go the webpage contract to do, that will be good. Gunna get myself some new glasses then as well.

righto, enough of this… time to read… looks like it might storm.
