I thought it was probably prudent to mention this minor detail... I resigned!

I handed in my notice the other day, about a week or so ago, and I finish up here on around the 9th of May, one day before my 3rd wedding anniversary.

There have been some really good opportunites as a result of working here, and I learnt pretty much everything I know here, but it's finally time to move on, into a position that has a bit more responsibility, and a bit more scope for new projects and what not.

So yeah, I start my new position on the 15th of May, after a few days as an unemployed bum...might have to hit the Bunbury circuit during that time and see my brother's new house etc, and maybe catch up with some of the kr3w!
McWoot!

cool haha

It took me 4 hours to get home from work on Friday night. I live 20 minutes away from work. I left at 4, and got home just after 8. Awesome.

Melbourne was AWESOME! I have pics, but due to an overwhelming sense of laziness (and a feeling that no-one would give a toss), I don't think I'll upload them.

Coolest holiday destination so far, much better than Bali, and a different planet to shitbox Kalbarri-the-worst-holiday-destination-in-the-world.

Went sailing with Russ the other day, and managed to run the flesh on my fingers down to the bone. Nasty.
The quack put this stuff on my hands that they use in the burns ward at Princess Margaret. Grouse!

The difference between sailing a Red Witch and an S80? It's like driving an automatic car down a 9 lane highway at 3:00am as opposed to driving a tank attached to a hang gliding rottweiler through peak hour traffic on an Autobahn with each of your individual nuts being tugged clean off with rusty wire. It's all good experience though. I learnt a few things to take back onto the other boat. Like "I'm not fit enough to sail an S80."

Oh, the Witch was the auto.

Naughty! PUNISH!

I feel I'm really out of touch with my friends, and my life from about 6 years ago. I was in Bunbury on Tuesday and Wednesday, and met up with a good friend. It seems that everyone is married, or divorced, or has 2 kids, or a drug problem, or is gay, or is leaving the country or all of the above.

When the hell did all this happen? I just seem to be getting way out of synch with everyone. I don't know where anyone lives, where they are, what they're doing...nothing. I read livejournals, and try and post on the few occasions that I have something relevant to say, but it's obviously not enough. Short of spam-rining everyone, I dunno.

Maybe that's what happens?

There's an idea for a New Years resolution. I'll try and harrass people, to try and keep up. It is hard though, with full time work, a family, trying to change out of this career. Then I get to the weekend, and there's often barely enough time for a sail on Sunday. To see my own brother is a 2 hour trip, and a 2 hour trip back, just to squeeze in a conversation with my brother, and my parents. But I guess everyone else is probably really busy as well, so I've got no excuse.

Gadzooks, the backups failed again. Time to start again. Trusty ol' Veritas.

We went sailing on Sunday, it blew like a mofo, which we have not had since last Summer season. A wise decision to change down a foresail size or two was welcome, given that we were pretty much sideways with 4 people on board...
After gybing around the second mark we managed to lose one of the sheets on the traveller somehow, which resulted in Angry copping the full force of the boom in the face. He blacked out momentarily, and then proceeded to bleed all over the boat. When he came to, he started swooshing his blood over the deck, mumbling "jush clean t' blud up" and shit like that. Pretty funny now, but it was a bit of a worry then. He's ok now, just a bit of pain in the head. My old man copped it across the back of the head, and my father-in-law took the boom in the ear. At the time of the traveller breaking I was on the bow on the leeward side, sorting the spinnaker out. The gust that hit us, with my weight being on the wrong side caused me to rocket over the side. I managed to grab the shortstay just in time, and drag my sorry ass back on board.

Most fucking awesome sail in ages. So...who's sailing to Rotto with me? ;)

Did yoga last night...man, my muscles are caning now! *whimpers*

I'm probably due for an update.

Since my last major post:

1. Bought my second house. 4 bedroom place, nice and big, same area I was in before. The house is so friggin awesome. What a SAGA trying to get in there thought! There were delays in every possible aspect, and we ended up settling a week late. BUT the important thing is that we got in there at all, so I'm not going to complain. Ok, so I will complain, but I SHOULDN'T complain. I'm so much more relaxed, my anxiety disorder is really under control.

2. I'm still married, so that's pretty good. My Dad however...well, that's a different story. His second wife left him, but I think he might have another bird on the go already, so that's cool.

3. We won the Winter season in sailing, on both Handicap and Championship. We came first in every race but one, in which we came second. Blair couldn't be arsed cleaning the bottom of the boat, and it cost us the race. Summer season starts soon. I'm hoping to do two things: a) Buy a Laser, and sail on my own with the Centreboards on Saturdays and b) Borrow another Red Witch, and sail against my current boat. I'll need crew for that lads, so dust off your eye patches.

4. I went to Bali a few months ago. That was basically my first time on a plane, and my first time out of the state/country/continent. (Yeah, so I'm cheating with the whole country/continent thing)

5. I've been learning the guitar for about 9 months or so now, so that's going well.

That's pretty much all I can think of. I'm sure other stuff has happened, but I can't think of it at the moment.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....nope, that's it for now!

2004-01-13T04:27:40Z

Ok, so I should probably update this more than once a year...

Since my last post, I have:

1. Bought my house,
2. Gotten married to Hannah,
3. Been promoted to a Systems Administrator, still here at Edith Cowan,
4. Won state championships in kumite and kata for my age/belt division for GKR Karate (2 x Gold, 1 Bronze for team kumite)
5. Sailed in two state championships for the National Red Witch Assoc. of Australia (Inc.) (http://www.redwitch.asn.au)
6. Had my wallet and keys and mobile stolen,
7. Had 2 fights with my old bitch of a neighbour about our cat eating her fucking birds,
8. Seen Alex a little bit, (not enough)
9. Seen Mike hardly at all, (definitely not enough)
10. Seen Jonesy never (too much)
11. Shitloads of other stuff like marriages and babies and shit, all family stuff

That's about it. On a scale of "grouse to ass"(c) ...Not bad!

House... ya crazy foo'!

2002-12-15T03:19:24Z

Drink milk, ya crazy foo's!

I bought a house! Wooooooooooooooooooooooo! The banks gave me finance and shit, so the bank now owns me for the next 30 years of my life. Orright! Actually, it's not the bank, it's ING, so I expect Billy Connolly coming around and doing my finance for me.

It's in Palmyra, and I'll let you all know the address once we move in. I won't post it here, because ASIO will kick my door in and raid my shit. the crazy foo's! HHAHAHAHAHHAA, They probably just picked that up on the scanners, and now they will be reading all these journals. I can't wait until they read Al's crazy dreams. Shit, I didn't say Al. I meant... Sir Equinox. And I didn't buy a house. Red Leader did. *looks over shoulders quickly...leans in* *whispers* "they're in the walls...and my pencil leads........................"

And Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I got my uni results. When you work in a uni, these funny things keep landing on your desk. So, here goes. I needed to pass these two units to graduate. I was working full time this year, so i was not expecting a lot. Anyway, here they are:
Intelligent Systems: 70% (D)
Object-Oriented Programming With C++: 9-fucking-2 %! (HD)

Yeah, 92% for C++!! Now, for the dodgy news. I got 68% for assigments 1 and 2. they were worth 50% all up. So, I go into exam with 34%. Exam is worth 50%. What score do I get if I get 100% on my exam? That's right. Dodgy huh? I think my lecturer is trying to force me into doing honours. Little bitch, I am DONE with uni. I graduate! Wooooooooooo!

Good luck to y'all who are waiting for results, or have got them or whatever. And to those who are not.

Have a grouse christmas guys! Love Yaz! FOO'!

Why we shouldn't let people buy their way into uni

2002-10-22T12:09:21Z

Don't get me wrong here, I'm all for embracing the culture of people around the world, and think that different people have the same effect as many different and beautiful flowers in a big ass garden. That disclaimer simply so no-one goes nuts, but the story isn't REALLY anything to do with where someone comes from, but rather, it questions the wiseness of letting ANYONE, from here or overseas into our unis without appropriately determining their abilities.
This is a conversation I had with one of our masters students. Our masters program is open to anyone who wants to pay $100k per year up front. You don't need a degree in IT or anything. This is actually the transcript from an ICQ convo I had with a mate, when I was explaining it all to him.

^KrOmE^ (05:01 PM) :
I just had some fucking vegetable at the help desk

Vegetable: i am wanting to access the folder on the desktop

^KrOmE^ (05:03 PM) :

^KrOmE^ (05:03 PM) :

^KrOmE^ (05:05 PM) :

*don't you fucking dare....*

Vegetable: I am writing in the java and i am need to access the folder in the desktop

^KrOmE^ (05:07 PM) :

Vegetable: No no, I am access the folder and it doesn't work

^KrOmE^ (05:07 PM) :
Riiiiiiiiight.

Vegetable: Come with me to the lab and show me how am I accessi--

^KrOmE^ (05:07 PM) :
*arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
DiscoMonkey (05:08 PM) :
haha so he wanted you to write his code for him?
^KrOmE^ (05:08 PM) :
I'm not going to the lab to show you how to open a folder. If you need to use a command prompt, I suggest you go and learn how to use DOS, I'm not going to teach you that.

Vegetable: You will not come out to the lab when I can not access?

^KrOmE^ (05:09 PM) :
NO I'm NOT going to look at it, you can access it any number of ways and they all work fine

Vegetable: Fine.

^KrOmE^ (05:09 PM) :
Now he's probably getting his mates with guns to fucking kill me.
^KrOmE^ (05:09 PM) :
Oh well.
DiscoMonkey (05:09 PM) :
how the fuck did he get into uni?

The use of broken English is not me poking fun, it's simply the way the dude was talking.

A bit late

2002-10-22T11:59:23Z

But better late than never. Unless the sheer thought of reading this post makes you convulse and vomit. In which case, you probably shouldn't be reading it. Unless you enjoy vomiting and convulsing.

I have a huge ass C++ assignment due last Friday, so I should really get my act together and try and sort that out. I do NOT wanna do this unit again... Noooo!!!!

I graded to 4th Kyu, Red Belt the Sunday before last. The grading was a real slut. It was fucking hot, and the senior sensei pushed us to the edge. It was pretty rewarding afterwards, but you feel like you're in hell when you're doing it.
So, now I've got probably about 6 months of red, then about 1 and a half years on brown, then I can go for my black belt. Sweet.

Last Saturday was the 3rd and final tournament for the year. I was looking forward to the day, but then when I was there, I ran into the guy who beat me for the gold last time. He said that because there was no-one left in his division, he had been pushed up into my division, so there was a good chance we would be fighting again. I shat myself. It's not that anyone would get hurt, it's just that it feels like you have less of a chance when you've been beaten by someone before. Annnnnyway, he got his ass creamed by a green belt, who I promptly caned, so I took GOLD! Woooo! Oh, and I got gold in the kata too. Fuckin' yeah!!! So, obviously the day felt a whole lot more worthwhile.

In our Team Kumite event, we cam 3rd, so that was a bronze medal. I lost my first fight to the current state champion black belt, so I wasn't worried there. Then I creamed the brown belt that I fought in my second. So that was pretty cool too.

Umm...yeah, I think that's it.
