Month: October 2002

While watching the first series of The Sopranos on cable last night I became a little worried when Olivia ordered a hit on her own son.

I hope mum has forgiven me for cutting up two copies of the Return of The Jedi comic and blu tac’ing them to my wall for a six months.

No hard feelings mum?

a) Walk around to the main IT room.
b) Open the door.
c) If the two or more of the guys are playing Half Life : Opposing Force and it is after 9.00 am the boss is away.

I was looking at the Monash Uni site today to see how they responded to the tragedy (or here if The Age has expired) that unfolded there this morning. Over a decade ago I’d spent many hours wandering those halls avoiding tutorials and lectures. An old friend of mine still teaches there, in that very building. After Bali you have to wonder what’s next for our battered little country.

Moving on a little…

I clicked on other areas of the site and found that something is terribly wrong with one of their teachers. They only have 2,269.4 teaching staff. I wonder where they mispalced the other .6 of Professor Snootles.

I’ve added two more to my worth reading list, but for those who don’t read the small print down the bottom of my front page I’ll let you know here.

Snarfallita’s Blaterhings and Escribtionist are on my daily reading list, although Snarf only updates every few days.

Oh wow. For $5 I’ve been taken back to my teens. This morning a caf? in Yarraville was having a garage sale. Bargain number 1 was a proper footy for $2.00 but the real bargain was a mint condition Donkey Kong for only $5.00.

I am still hopelessly uncoordinated and will never set the high score but for regression value it was $5.00 well spent. Now, if only I could track down an Acorn Electron I’d be in heaven.

I had reason to be looking through a box of old memories tonight and found this, an related memory from a very long time ago. My first every girlfriend. I think this photo though was taken some time in the late ’80s.

Narelle Richards – where ever you are – I hope life is good.

My takeover by MIS continues unabated – I now have a title. Say hello to the new ‘Web Officer’. Woo Hoo. New name badge, new cards. The excitement never stops. Apparently a job description is in the works too, after two years of doing the job I may be in for a shock.

“The Web Officer is responsible for watering all indoor plants located in the basement area of central block.”

At last the mystery of why they are all dead may be revealed.

Still no sign of me getting a window.
