November 11 Update

Today’s Listening: The Talented Mr. Ripley Soundtrack – Tu Vuo’ Fa L’Americano Nothing exciting happened today. Unfortunately I didn’t hear anything about the status of my ADSL, so I might have to make some phone calls tomorrow. I created a new section in the Misc section called “presentations”. As I go through University, etc. and have to perform presentations I’ll

November 10 Update

Today’s Listening: Josh Groban – Alejate I got back from my holiday today. Unfortunately no news about my ADSL connection was received so I will hopefully find out tomorrow (Monday). The first day of the holiday (Friday) was good. We had a cabin on the Colo River and spent the day relaxing and swimming. The next day (Saturday) was a

November 8 Update

Today’s Listening: Fiona Apple – Across the Universe Today I’m going away for a few days. I’m going to Colo on a short holiday with my best friend Justin. I shall be back Sunday and will post my experiences then 🙂

November 7 Update

Today’s Listening: Andrea Bocelli – L’avitudine Today I had an assessment in “Interactive Website Development”; a quiz that is worth 20% of the total course. The quiz was mainly related to ASP and other Microsoft server-side technologies. Because the quiz was done electronically on Platform Web (the University “E-Learning” facility) you receive your results immediately which eliminates the (sometimes) excruciating

November 6 Update

Today’s Listening: Celine Dion – I’m Alive It’s my mum’s birthday today! Happy Birthday Mum! 🙂 Today I finished my last assignment for the year. The assignment was for “Interactive Website Development” and involved developing an order management system for a Pizza franchise in ASP(VBScript). Even though ASP isn’t my preferred web scripting language, I successfully finished all required components

November 5 Update

As the University year comes closer to the end, more assessments are approaching. Today I had a quiz for “Applied Data Communications and Networking”, the vast majority of which was related to Subnetworking in TCP/IP. From memory the quiz weighting is 10% I felt that I went fairly good in this quiz, but I won’t know for certain until I

November 1 Update

It’s hard to believe how fast the year has gone by. Although we still have another two months to go, I start wrapping up my first year of University next week. I finished my 2nd last assignment of the year today for “Applied Data Communications and Networking”. The task was to design a network and write a written report (of

October 31 Update

Nothing terribly exciting has happened recently. I spent a large part of the day working on my assignment for “Applied Data Communications”. I also ordered two DVDs that were delivered today, “Panic Room” and “Air Force One (Special Edition)”. Both are quite good movies, “Air Force One” was only $17.50 which was an added bonus. Other than that there is

October 25 Update

I finished Assignment #3 for Introduction to Systems Analysis and Design. That is the last assignment for the subject. There are two more assignments due on different subjects, one on the 1st November, the second on the 6th November. My last class for the year is on the 7th November and then I have two exams, on the 20th and

October 21 Update

Unfortunately Telstra delayed the installation of the new ADSL ports to my local phone exchange to the 7th November. Hopefully they’ll be installed when that time comes around and not delayed again. Vanilla Coke was recently released in Sydney. Coca-Cola have also started a huge advertising campaign with amusing TV advertisements starring Chazz Palminteri. I don’t mind Vanilla Coke, it’s
