Aegir’s Rantings

Note, this is a parody, a joke, a work of satire. We do actually do work. *sniggers and runs off*

All meals will come in snack-sized tin-cans and vacume sealed packs.

Been a bit slow lately. Work placement’s over, I’m a week into school. Been up to a fair few things. Got a new laptop, an Thinkpad R30, seen partially here, it’s a neat little unit. Fast enough for most tasks I throw at it, battery, while shagged, still gets atleast 30-45minutes of battery life (The joys of seccond hand laptops).

Getting back into the coding saddle again, just working through my sprites so-far and getting everything ready to code. I tell ya, the next release of the North American Building Set, when used in conjunction with Michaels Alpine Climate, will make heads assplode. It’ll be that fucking awesome, I swear.

Life is going fairly well, overall. My situation with the lady folks still is rather crappy (single, in other words), but things are slowly starting to pick up in that department. My little side projects are flourishing, planet.tt-forums is going strong, rant/ is going well aswell. My .grf’s keep spreading further and further. Career wise things are going well aswell, got a good report from my last work-placement, and I’m doing well in trade-school. With the ammount of electrical theory that I’ve been doing though, suddenly the concept of doing year13 and doing Maths Methods/Studies and Physics seems so much less painful. That gives me another career choice to add to the three that I’ve been worming my way into. I might just make it into Software Engineering or Comp. Science at Uni.

Well, I’ve run out of things to crap on about.

So shutup a your face, Singaporekid! And the rest of ye’s!

Did end up getting out last Saturday night. Went bowling with Darren and some of his friends. Didn’t know most of the people, but oh well. First time I ever went bowling, and came seccond in the first game with 70 or 80 odd points. So eh. Went to the arcades after that and wasted about 10-20 bucks on this new shooter they had installed. Damn fun game, the controllers were pretty damn accurate aswell, I was doing pretty damn well aswell until some annoying prat friend kept trying to tell me how to play the game while I’m kicking ass at it. Gah.

Bought a laptop today. IBM Thinkpad R30. Should be arriving in 1-6 business days. Woo for me. Also got back the extra stick of ram to my current laptop from Corsairs warranty department. Stick of ram worked fine, but I discovered that my seccond ram slot is also busted. But ohwell. 512mb, while not as good as 768mb of ram, is still better than 256.

I’ll just get the mobo replaced when I take my laptop in to get its battery replaced. No biggie, I’ll get over it.

Work placement is in it’s last week. Working in Flinders Med Centre for the most part. Back to the zoo next week. Should be good seeing my friends again. Seen Sam and Darren a bit on busses and around the entrance of FMC where the bus stops are. Has kept me sane enough I spose.

Been doing the usual bitching and whinging in nastydirty, more entries in there are being made public (Only one person can get access to the hidden entries, she knows who she is.), usually all self-pitying rants about absolutely inconsequential things that I’m blowing out of proportion by wallowing in my own insecurities. But oh well.

Been quite pleased at the ammount of tax to date that I’ve been racking up. Over $300 now. Which is good, I’ll get that all back at tax time. Since I’ve started running out of money, all of that’s probably going towards fixing my bike up. I keep bloody putting that off, been planning to fix it up since before christmas. Ohwell, usual crap I suppose.

Oh, and I had another first today. Crawling around in a ceiling supported by only air-conditioning ducts. Heheh. Monkey-style cable running ftw. Was surprised that I had enough upper body strength to raise and lower myself out of that roof. One hand on my right on the air-con duct, one hand on the left on the rondo (Wall frame in office buildings), arms dead straight at the shoulders, elbow bent almost exactly 90degrees. The ladder I had was short and flimsy, so I had to position myself exactly and lower myself slowly onto the ladder. Now being someone who a while back couldn’t do a single chin up, I was surprised that I managed to pull off what I did today. Esp. since I weigh in excess of eighty kg’s. Maybe it was because I didn’t exactly have much choice. Position myself slowly onto the ladder, or fall and be seriously injured/die. I suppose that type of situation kinda tells your muscles to stop complaining about what it can and can’t do and to just bloody well do it.

Anyways, I’m running out of things to bitch about. Goodnight folks.

Yeap, just checking in. Letting you all know that I’m still allive.

Coding wise things have been slow, if not completly immobile, I had a massive case of data loss not long ago, losing all of my documents (Including Cisco homework that I was supposed to hand in a while ago now, gotta re-write that aswell… . Good thing Darren had a few bits and pieces that I sent him for that, or I’d be screwed) and my source to all of my coding work. So I gotta get around to re-starting all those projects again.

Life wise, I’m in my third week of another work placement, this time at MIMP Computer Cabling. I judged these guys too harshly the first time I was with them, but experiance working has shown me the error of my ways.

So big shouts to everyone reading, to everyone at school, yeap, I’ll be back not next week, the week after.

I really want to do something this weekend or next, though. So if people are availible, Liz, Dez, Callum, leave comments here or MSN me. I gotta get out of this damned house and socialize. I’ve been working my arse off all day and then getting home and crashing infront of the computer for so many weeks already. Sure, I’m getting paid (*strokes new pair of black jeans*), but I need to get out every now and again.
