Damn. Miss France (2004) is HOT! - General
30 Apr 2005 @ 03:13 am - On KJ's blog there was a post about how Miss France 2004 was stripped (pun!) of her title after posing for Playboy. [url]http://kjacobsen.net/kjacobsen/archive/2005/04/29/730.aspx[/url] Pictures are availiable... Oh yeah! [url=http://maz.dnsalia...
I needed a break - General
29 Apr 2005 @ 01:48 pm - I was so worn out from this week that I needed a break so I slept in this morning until midday. Then I chatted online until about 3pm. After this I went out to uni and worked on the [u]COMS4200[/u] assignment. It seems to be pretty close to working. ...
Money - General
29 Apr 2005 @ 07:42 am - Saving goes better when you cut down on the amount of money you waste. As opposed to saving the same amount and wasting any extra. What a revelation!...

Chain letters = spam - General
27 Apr 2005 @ 07:26 am - After a hard day working at uni, (*cough cough*), coming home and having to delete spam is not my idea of fun. Even if it was sent by a person not a bot. Just to make it clear. 1. [b]No one is going to get any money if you spam all your friends ...

27 Apr 2005 @ 04:21 am - Today I'm attending a talk by Chuck Sterling from Mircrosoft about his experience in the company. This includes information about getting started with Microsoft and surviving the interview processes. This seems very worthwhile considering I wouldn't ...

26 Apr 2005 @ 11:55 am - I was cleaning my room (to avoid study of course!) and when I was done, this is what it looked like: [url=http://maz.dnsalias.org/blog/files/images/nerd.jpg][img]http://maz.dnsalias.org/blog/files/images/nerds.jpg[/img][/url] That's basically a...
zero equals one? - General
26 Apr 2005 @ 07:48 am - Cleaning my room and found this. [img]http://maz.dnsalias.org/blog/files/images/01.jpg[/img] Trippy eh? [comment]I like the third line best. [b]DM[/b] on 26 Apr 2005 @ 09:23 pm[/comment][comment]If a = b, that is legit.. I'm just too lazy to ...

Pittsworth for a day - General

Nothing says fun like drunken board games - General
24 Apr 2005 @ 03:37 am - And what better game to play drunk than chess? Well now you can with this awesome chess set I scored for $20. [url=http://maz.dnsalias.org/blog/files/images/chess.JPG][img]http://maz.dnsalias.org/blog/files/images/chesss.JPG[/img][/url] Anyone...
Sleeping in exams. a.k.a. PSYC1030 - General
23 Apr 2005 @ 01:58 pm - This morning I woke up at 11am and thought, "Good. Saturday. I can sleep in." but about 30 minutes later I remembered I had an exam I hadn't studied for this afternoon. So I got up and went out to uni to 'study'. So when I get there Thei an...
Keyless - General
22 Apr 2005 @ 01:54 pm - This morning I didn't have uni so I slept in until about 11am. When I woke up I chatted to Thei online who said I should get to uni or I'd fail [u]INFS3202[/u]. I got there about midday and parked my car but the parking meter took my money and wouldn...

INFS3202 - General
21 Apr 2005 @ 06:27 am - Is a bit slow today. It's 4:26pm (nearly half an hour into the lecture) and he has just put up the first lecture slide. The start of which is about "what is a database". zzzz. [comment]Well, what is it? [b]Clitn[/b] on 22 Apr 2005 @ 10:4...
UQ Wireless - General
21 Apr 2005 @ 06:26 am - I was about to say how much improved the wireless around UQ is again as it dropped out. But they have updated the system so that when it drops out and re-connects, it keeps your login for a little longer. Which means I can keep browsing sites without...
What's going on? - General
21 Apr 2005 @ 12:18 am - When I woke up this morning my site was inaccessible. The hostname was not resolving to the correct IP. So I force the dynamic DNS to update.. And it's still the wrong IP. Something is seriously broken. In the end I went to dyndns.org and set it m...
Survival of the fittest for the modern day - General
20 Apr 2005 @ 01:02 pm - While some people may be trying to protect those not intellectually endowed individuals with seemingly moroninc warning labels on almost things that are barely inconceivably harful, there is hope for the human race yet. The answer is to [b]keep gi...
Only a quick group meeting - General
20 Apr 2005 @ 12:33 pm - The only thing I had today was a short group meeting today for 10 mins at 9am.. Or so I thought.. As it turns out the group meeting didn't get started until 9:30 (I was late too), had plenty of people absent and raged on for about 2 hours. At the end...

19 Apr 2005 @ 02:30 pm - Following random links on KJ's blog and then other links on those sites I found this one. [url=http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/04/18/new.spam.battleground.ap/index.html]Attention shifts to spam containment[/url] Near the middle is this ...
Psyc is fun - General
19 Apr 2005 @ 01:27 pm - First a lecture on mood disorders that women are more than twice as likely to have most of. Then a lecture on sexism that tells me I can't point that out.. heh. I have been working so hard today... [b]<study>[/b] [url=http://maz.dnsalias.o...
COMS exam and CSSE meeting - General
18 Apr 2005 @ 01:43 pm - So my entire day was just uni work. Who cares. Social lives aren't for anti-social people. I got up at 8am and went to uni to study for my [u]COMS4200[/u] exam. Which I probably failed because I didn't have the money to print out the lecture slide...
Got my cake and eat it too! - General
17 Apr 2005 @ 01:43 pm - This morning I woke about 10am with nothing to do so I basically sat around all day playing computer games. I did have uni stuff too do but I couldn't get into the mood to do it so I have to wake up at 8am tomorrow and study. Tonight I had to work...
From Stradbroke - General
16 Apr 2005 @ 01:36 pm - I woke up early and did nothing until i packed my stuff and left. On the way to the ferry we went to Point Lookout and walked around the track there and I took a heap of photos (which I hope to have online soon). After lunch I caught the ferry back a...
To Stradbroke - General
15 Apr 2005 @ 01:49 pm - I've just had the most relaxing day in ages! Although I got up at 7am I only made the 9am ferry to Stradbroke Island (which takes about half an hour) and my parents collected me on the island. So we went to the campsite (via somewhere to get ice c...
OMG my money is all gone! - General
14 Apr 2005 @ 01:34 pm - Because I bought a 17" LCD monitor. ([i]See: [url=http://maz.dnsalias.org/blog/vcomment.php?post=1113482898]LG Flatron L1750 LCD Monitor[/url][/i]). But before I did that I had a [u]CSSE3004[/u] lecture where I Googled the names on the back o...
LG Flatron L1750SQ LCD Monitor - General
14 Apr 2005 @ 12:48 pm - Today I purchased a 17" LCD monitor for $365. It seems pretty good for what I paid for it (8ms responce time). Anyone who was considering buying the same item from Umart I can say I have no complaints with it. 1280x1024 @ 60Hz. Clear with norma...
Mmm. Cancerous gum! - General
14 Apr 2005 @ 01:19 am - I am so bored in my CSSE3004 lecture that I started cleaning out my wallet and I found some chewing gum, (which is delicious!). On the packet it says: [b]CONTAINS PHENYLALNINE[/b]. Now out of boredom I decided to google that and see why it was so ...
80 / 20 rule - General
14 Apr 2005 @ 12:16 am - Yesterday I heard the 80 / 20 rule. Put in 20% of the effort to get 80% of the marks. Put in another 80% of the effort to get the file 20% of the marks. Very true. To get a 7 you have to work your ass off....
900 words per hour - General
13 Apr 2005 @ 11:53 am - I got up this morning at like 10:30am after using the snooze button a dozen times. I eventually made my way into uni to see someone and got a park at Leo's college. As far as I know, no one was billed $800 this time. After that I went to the labs ...
Reflective review of the traffic today - General
12 Apr 2005 @ 01:28 pm - Today I only had psyc lectures which were much the same as usual. After I spent all my money on food last night I had to get money for parking so I left my car oustide Wordsmiths without paying parking while i ran to the ATMs which were both out of o...
OMG Psyc! - General
11 Apr 2005 @ 01:20 pm - My [u]PSYC1030[/u] assignment is on "The effects of violence in the media on children". Seeing our research has been done for us and I have to argue that it turns children into monsters I'm going to be choking on all of what I write. I w...
I craved chocolate cake - General
11 Apr 2005 @ 01:11 pm - Where I went to uni for COMS4200. Which I attended and stuff. After that I came home for pizza then went to the movies to see "[i]Sahara[/i]" which was pretty average (as you'd expect a movie of a Clive Cussler book to be). I'll read the bo...
More work = more money - General
10 Apr 2005 @ 01:55 pm - I had no plans for today so I slept as late as possible, managing to stay in bed until I got hungry about 2pm. So Cassie and I had a relatively eventful (and mostly legal) drive to KFC and back and then we were playing "[i]Vampire The Masquerade...
What a horrible waste of a Saturday - General
09 Apr 2005 @ 01:57 pm - Last night I stayed up to 4am drinking the vodka that was left from the party last weekend after deciding that I was just going to sleep all of today. (Cassie told me to hang around and drink with her, and then went to bed). At about 9am I got an ...
Tis friday - General
08 Apr 2005 @ 01:45 pm - I'm tired as hell and now I'm drinking my vodka. Good times were had by all. I sumitted my INFS pracs on time but the COMS assignment that we submitted may or may not be working. The extension goes to tomorrow night so I must do work on the weeken...
C# - General
07 Apr 2005 @ 01:45 pm - I used [b]C#[/b] to write my CSSE3004 assignment in today. It's not all that bad once you get used to the [b]arse-backwards[/b] way you have to do everything. That and the fact that the MSDN library is totally crap compared to something like the Java...
That's hillarious - General
07 Apr 2005 @ 01:32 pm - Today I rushed back to uni at 10am which was too late to find a park and I had more [u]CSSE3004[/u] to do. I ended up parking in [i]Women's College[/i] visitor car park and running to the labs about 10:30am. In the labs I messed with [b]C#[/b] ([i]se...
BOAT CRUISE!!! - General
07 Apr 2005 @ 09:53 am - Nothing screams fun like drinking on a boat! The Japsoc is having a boat cruise next Friday night (15th) which looks like it might be fun. It's an "event" which societies have (because they aren't all like BITS). [img]http://maz.dnsalias...
Can't talk now. CSSE3004 due! - General
06 Apr 2005 @ 05:47 pm - How bad is the fact that I'm rushing so I can get home to bed by 4am? I only want to get home by 4am so I can get some sleep so I can make it back here by 10am tomorrow to actually finish doing my work! ARGH! Today I got up at 10am and came to uni...
Insanity attack! - General
05 Apr 2005 @ 01:54 pm - No sleep equal insane. I have no idea what day it is or anything. The last few days are all squashed into one blur at this point. All I know is that I spent the afternoon at uni doing [u]CSSE3004[/u] and due to the lack of sleep I don't even know wha...
My holidays.. All gone! - General
04 Apr 2005 @ 01:56 pm - I managed to make it to my first class today after the holidays at 10am. So I slept right through that (like a few other people), waking up for breif periods of fancy maths (with Greek letters), which I think should have nothing to do with I.T. Af...
I'm getting sick of this - General
03 Apr 2005 @ 01:49 pm - It's so much trouble to have to write what I did, (by the way, I did nothing). And breathe. So I figured I wouldn't bother anymore. I assume everyone is sick of this site by now. I haven't even put up the photos from when I went on holidays over new ...
Sleep, work, party! - General
02 Apr 2005 @ 01:52 pm - Just one word for tonight. "SMIRNOFF". You know it's classy when you're drinking straight vodka from a jar. I slept all day and had work tonight for about 4 hours. So that's like nearly 12 hours for the week. When I went TV shopping w...
Uni work on my holidays. Oh how I miss high school! - General
01 Apr 2005 @ 12:24 pm - I stayed up all night last night chatting to Trace until Hollie got up at 4:30am. At which point Trace stole Hollie's bed and I thought I should probably sleep. After I woke up at 1pm today I rang my dad to ask about the car and we have idea what ...
Blogs suck - General
01 Apr 2005 @ 05:08 am - I do realise this is a blog. So don't bother.. Why do people making blog posts point to some other blog with a piece of news and add more opinions? Can't we point to the source? It just ends up as a major game of online chinese whispers and if you...
