Changing Rooms

So i find out on the weekend that i have to move rooms at uni. Something about new honours students and the general lack of space. Anyway, i dont really care, it doesnt worry me. What really annoys me though is the total lack of organisation.

I found out ‘officially’ on tuesday which room / cubicle i waas moving too. I went and had a look only to find the cubicle in a really dirty state with a heap of research papers and stuff sitting around. Fair enough i thought, it would be a few days before i had to move.

Tuesday afternoon arrives anad the tech guy comes to move us. Yep, totally unnexpected he just turns up. Anyway he moves one other persons pcc then come baack and tells me he will do mine first thing the next day.

Wednesday morning comes, i unplug my pc and box it all up ready for the move. Guess what? No tech guy comes. I still have no idea where he got to, i didnt get a call or email or anything. So i spent the entire day sitting around waiting for this guy to come.

Ive decided im just going to move it myself tomorrow morning. Right after it bundle everything up in the other room and throw it all in the rubbish bin outside. I couldnt care about archving it or whether the other person wants it or not, they should have thought of that before organising for me to move there.

So yeah that should be fun. :) In an evil kind of way im actually looking forward to seeing what kind of dramas it causes. hehe

AUC Goodies Part 3

Got my 15inch powerbook and airportr extreme base station laast thursday. I was actually surprised how fast i got it and it came before easter :D

The 15inch powerbook is awesome. The keyboard, although the same physical size as the 12 inch, is a lot easier to use. I think it has to do with the larger palm rests. Whatever it is its really nice.

It would be tough going baack to a 12inch after using a 15inch for any extended length of time. I plan of making the mosst of this one while i have it though.

So now i have aall the hardware, im into the ‘nutting out’ stage. IM still not 100% certain of whaat my scholorship project will be, but i figure i have a good amount of time to get a solid ideaa and design in place. The actual coding phase shouldnt only take 6 months max me thinks.

So yeah, all is good on the goodies front.
