I’m headed to Myall Lakes on a canoeing trip with our youth group. Should be wild, hopefully not wet, but hopefully fun.
Here’s hoping the Internets don’t break while I’m AFK. Until then, adiós, weird world.

18 July 2009Somehow, I think all’s not right with this publication — Highlands Post, 16 July 2009.
Hint: Look at the blue bar.
Nazi Noodles
3 July 2009Today, Dad brought home a bag full of Asian nibblies. Among them were some packs of ramen noodles. I found this pack to be particularly striking:
Yes, yes, I know. It’s a Hindu or Buddhist swastika, not the Nazi form. But I’m pretty sure the noodles would be banned in Germany in one way or another. And yes, I just Godwined my blog. Ah well — it was fun while it lasted.
Greener grass
7 June 2009I’m currently working towards my Diploma, which I will hopefully finish by the end of this month. Until then, I need to get stuck into finishing assignments, including ones on network security, server design, and project management.
Some things I’d like to get around to doing when I’m finished:
- Update Battle for Wesnoth for OLPC to the latest version of 1.6 (currently stuck at 1.4.5).
- Get around to redesigning this blog to be a little more presentable, and a little more me.
- Too much of my life is locked up in Twitter and Delicious. Would be nice to integrate them both into my WordPress theme nicely.
- Finish off some Python projects, such as an ABC iView browser and my Volcano game.
- Reading. I got given a truckload of books a couple of weeks ago — mostly Java books, but also one on UML which looks interesting.
And, of course, there’s bassoon. I’m hoping to do my LMusA (Licentiate) exam this year, although it may prove to be too much for this year, in which case I can work on it for next year.
Certificate IV in Information Technology
2 June 2009On Thursday, I was presented with my Certificate IV in Information Technology (General) from Campbelltown TAFE.
What does this mean? I’ll tell you what it means: fractals. The more you discover about something, the more you find out there is to learn. I’m currently doing the Diploma of Information Technology, due to be finished by the end of this month, which branches out even further into the mystical realms of network security, project management, and other crazy stuff.
Probably the most annoying thing at this point in time is the fact that the certificate is in landscape format, which means it will not look good next to my bassoon certificates, which are printed in a portrait format. I wonder if TAFE offers a certificate in document forgery so I can make a portrait version of the certificate…
