A Lazy Weekend

So yeah, the weekend was spent reading, watching farenheit 9/11, and playing a few games – very laid back after my PHD confirmation talk last friday.

Books:
Spent most of the weekend reading.
The Subversion book is pretty good, im keen to get my hands dirty and set up a subversion server. – more on this later.

Games:
Finished Hitman Contracts, and started playing Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. Theres no doubt that Joint Operations is a Battlefield 1942 killer – The weapons are much better and it jsut seems to play so much better. Im yet to test it out at a LAN though….

Movies:
Farenheit 911 – damn good movie! Very interesting thats for sure. Kinda makes ya think….

Blog:
Also did a mock up of my new site design, im favouring a 3 column layout at the moment. Ive held back the urge to buy the new oreilly CSS Cookbook – but the more i leave it the more i want it – so ill definately get it.

Seems CSS is REALLY powerful, especially CSS 2.0 – so i kinda want a paper reference that covers actual real world samples. Theres heaps of stuff on the web – but a hard copy would be so much better.

Thats a lot of ‘-’ usage. I should actually read up one day on when you actually meant to use the ‘-’ character. *shrugs*
