Life Update

Things have been pretty full on lately. Between my uni project, the offices, the pub and Megamart I don't really have much time to spare.

It has been fun working on my uni project so far. We are building a reporting system for an undisclosed school. It is being crafted using MySQL, PHP, Javascript, CSS and good old HTML. We've got to the end of the semester to finish it ut we are well on the way already.

My other units aren't quite so interesting, although they should be I suppose. Portable Data Systems is about programming Java applications for mobile phones and PDAs. I have to write some stupid essay for it soon. Something about 'user-agents'. Although I'm not really sure what they are yet. I think it could mean mobile devices.

The last unit is distributed systems which deals with Remote Procedure Calls and Remote Method Invocation, which are basically ways to create server/client programs that can talk to each other. So far this unit has been a bit wishy washy, I don't feel like it has been thought out very well. Like, I did the first four weeks worth of tutorials in the first week. Duh.

The Exchange Server has been giving me the absolute shits. The damn thing is getting crushed by spam and I can't seem to stem the tide, although putting a new hard disk in should help it a bit. At least until we move the whole system across to linux.

Bishop and myself went out to a party on Saturday night at The Kitchen (next to the Hippy Club). It was the latest of Delirium's small techno nights called Trancemit. We basically went because Pauls (from Megamart) friend Marcel was playing, and we couldn't find anything else to do. Drank some bourbons, had a dance, Drank some beers, had a chat to a nice young lady called Mia, bailed around four and went to Ben's for a while and met Emma. Talked shit. Went home around 6am. It was a solid night out on the piss.

On Friday night we went to the Floreat again. I fucking hate that place and am not going back there (at least for a while). I mean, I get all amped up to go there, its good for the first few pints, then they start playing shithouse commercial rap, i get angry, I leave dissapointed. Not worth the effort. Especially when we could have gone to a party with Sara..

In other news Gribbo got an Ipod, the lucky fuck, Boltz could be back within a month, Adi got a bargain on a Patrol and a boat, and Bayman got his hair done again. Metro Meugi.
