Hallmark Promotional Day (2 days ago)

Just got back from work, which of course was accompanied by the usual shananigans (please excuse any misspelling). On Saturday it was Valentine's Day, which some people (including me and Despina) refer to as Hallmark Promotional Day. Other than that, yeah, not much to write about off the top of my head.… Read more →

Enrolled

I have finally gotten off my lazy behind and been bothered to enrol for uni this year. The courses that I have chosen are:

COMP3804 - Advanced Inf. Tech. Project (a year long course)
INFS3100 - Introduction to Information Science
HIST2100 - The Rise of Modern China
HIST2702 - The City in History

I am resuming my history major this semester, after completing my Peace and Conflict Studies major last year.

My timetable for this semester really isn't that bad (compared to previous semesters which included 9 to 6's with 4 hours break in the middle, yeesh!!). Assuming that i … Read more →

THE Goal

Last night i scored probably one of my best ever goals i've ever scored in futsal. We were playing Kafeneon (the fiery greeks) in what was agreed between the two teams to be a play-off for third place. After we had scored our first goal, they kicked off, and the ball came loose. I saw an opening and let rip from just after half-way. The ball curled out and up and ended up in the top right corner of the goal. I doubt i have scored any finer. We ended up losing the game after leading at half time (in … Read more →

My party

Last night I had my birthday party. Special thanks to everyone who came. It was a quite an enjoyable night with various 'interesting' occurances.

Photos here. (go through occasions etc)
In consideration for peoples privacy, you will need a username and password to see the parties photos, which should have been emailed to all friends and aquaintences. If you didn't get it, please email me and i'll send it to you.

I think the photos pretty much speak for themselves, so I'll keep this blog entry short. Enjoy!… Read more →

Happy Birthday To Me

Well today is my birthday. If i've done the maths right today i turn 21. Twenty one years ago at three minutes to twelve in the morning i came into this world. Yay. Nothing much planned for today, after all it is just another day!… Read more →

[Insert title here]

Played in the finals of futsal last night, and we went down 7-5 in the semis. They blitzed us 5-1 in the first half which ended up being our downfall, becuase we won the second half 4-2. We got it back to 6-5, but another goal killed us off. We brought along the digital camera in the hopes of taking some photos to put up on the site, but the battery went dead half way through the match.

Went bowling yesterday with Despina and my cousin up from Sydney, and did pretty crap. i Think i got an eighty-something and … Read more →

Buggered

Interesting last few days, stayed up late on Saturday night which was a bad move considering i had to work at 7 on Sunday. Work was surprisingly alright, although i was totally screwed last night because of lack of sleep. When i don't get my 8 hours, I don't respond well, and i think I only had around 4. I went over Tim's place yesterday to pick up a few CD's (thanks a lot tim!), becuase i'm going to be setting up a new computer over the next few days.

As a result i shoudn't be too active anytime soon.… Read more →

The perfect storm

Well this afternoon was probably the worst storm i've seen. I was home by myself and it was absolutely vicious: it stated around 4:40 and was over before 5. Our outdoor timber blinds were completely ripped out, and little pieces of them went everywhere, two 1 meter high pots with soil and a tree in them were toplled over, and lightning struck probably less than 100m away (really loud!!!), and seems to have knocked out our phone, which is not working, our half-full (or half-empty?) garbage bin was relocated almost 5 metres, and we seem to have collected in our … Read more →

Gallery finished

Well i've finally finished installing the Gallery. Therefore the photos page is gone, and any links to it should be broken.

In my typical about-face style i changed my mind on which PHP gallery i was going to use, and decided rather to go with DAlbum.

Right now there is only one album in the gallery because i don't have many pictures, but Andrew and Tim will be pleased to know that their photos are in there. I considered the possibility of allowing people to automatically post their own photos to the gallery, but decided against it because … Read more →

More photos

Andrew sent me some photos as well, see them at the Photos page.

Looked around for a good php photo gallery. Decided on this one. I'll spend the next day or two installing and configuring it.

Played futsal tonight in the last round of the normal season, and lost pretty convincingly (can't remember the score) to the top team. We finished second to them. Finals start next week, and i'm not looking forward to playing these guys in the final (if we get there).… Read more →
