Hmm, I haven't posted in a while now. I have been really busy this week as it's an exam week. This morning I was dressed up decently in business casual to do a presentation for BGE, which went quite well. Then had teriyaki chicken for lunch, and tried to work on HTTC some. I got the basic HTML template working, and tested it with Jack's timeline animation. Now we just need all of the years to fill in the content, and our essays that we need to write, then we are done with it.

I still haven't made much of a start on my art project, but that only due 10am on Thursday, so I think I can still manage it. But I need to learn more Perl in a hurry to write the server side of the artwork.

Of the Lord of the Rings OST MP3s that I got from Jon, some of them have nasty clicks and scratches in them, so I will have to see if I can get a better copy. I want a better copy, because I burnt the audio to an Audio CD last night to listen to today, and 'borrowed' my brothers discman to listen to it while I was travelling to school. I am _very_ impressed with it. I might even go out and buy the CD, because the music is just so beautiful. The woodwinds are amazing. And Enya is quite audible in a few tracks.

I just checked on a port for the new games server, and email the info to a sysadmin, now I just need to wait an hour before I can get out of here, as I need to follow him home to get the hard drive I am buying off him.

I'm going to work on the SGI Onyx to set up a RAID0, as I want a huge space to store MP3!

I listened to more of the LoTR soundtrack coming home, after I picked up a 6gb drive from Dave Hartnell. The drive is destined for my server this weekend, if it works. The LoTR is really really nice. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. In this next bit I listened to, there are some nice strings and brass to complement the woodwinds.

I'm going to change into some warmer clothing, and then carry on fixing my mother's computer. Odd, but I am hungry now as well.

Just remembering, two things that happened on the way home today that I didn't mention previously. Greeting people in their own language always surprises them. Waiting for the 136 bus at Willingdon and Hastings, a russian guy asked me the time, as he was getting the 137. My bus came before his, and I said goodbye to him in Russian, "Da Svidanya". Then on the bus, were a deaf couple, their son and his gf. All of them were deaf, and the two of the younger generation looked 15/16, and they looked like they belonged to the raveresque type people. As they got off the bus (a few stops before me), I signed "good night" to them. There was a look of surprise from the gf that I signed them, as it had appeared that the younger two had been discussing something that they didn't want the parents to know about, given that they stopped whenever the parents turned around.

I had a cup of coffee since I was hungry, and it's sated my hunger for now, but now I really need to get on with doing my HTTC and NMI assignments, but I want to sleep!
