More Weird People

In March I reported on weird people at my local chemist, and yesterday I found more weird people around my home, North Melbourne. I was driving home yesterday and a red Commodore, with trailer, pulled out in front of me needing quick thinking and a abrupt braking. Which was proceeded with the obligatory honk on [...]

Motivation

Motivation is quite a strange beast. I can have unlimited motivation for say… Software Testing and Reliabilty which I have failed once already I have none, and stay up till all hours of the morning finishing an assignment the night before it is due? But even worse than that is when you are at home [...]

Junk eBay and Bank Accounts

Study

You know what one of the hardest things to do after a year off (I was on IBL for a year at VSL) is STUDY. I was trying all of last week, I got a little bit done but really not enough. After last year when I could come home and forget about work to [...]

Hack Hack Hack
