Uni’s not really as fun as it used to be. I’m not sure if that’s because most of my friends have graduated and there’s no one doing the subjects I am or I’m just sick of it. Admittedly, the subject I’m doing isn’t *as* bad as I thought it would be. I actually managed to complete the tutorial today. It was pretty hilarious though, my lab partner and I spent ages designing this schematic plan of some circuit thingy and then we thought we hadn’t drawn the wires correctly so we went back and make them all “connect”. Later the tutor was like, “they’re not meant to look like that… that little dot is a ‘join’”. *sigh*. So we had to change them all back! At least we know for next time right?
Met up with Manda for ‘lunch’. It wasn’t really lunch as such. Just a celebratory beer for St. Patrick’s day. There was green (mostly) and orange everywhere. Didn’t get to have any ‘guinness stew’ although it was the union meal of the day. Not sure if I really missed out on anything special :P
I tried installing Ubuntu onto Mephisto, which I screwed up. I forgot I’d removed small 10MB partition I’d made at the front of the HDD for the MBR. So I told GRUB to write over my XP install. LALALA. *Sigh*. I’m not exactly devastated, I wasn’t using that comp anyways, even after installing a DVD burner. Think I’ll install Fedora Core 4 instead. Except that I need to download the damn install. I could go with Fedora Core 3, but it seems a little ‘old’. I’m not having a good time with technology lately it seems. I tried to use that new MPH Game Loader on my PSP, which didn’t work. I then tried to install v2.0 firmware only to have the damn machine tell me it was ‘low on battery’ and ‘could not proceed’. What the fuck is with that? So yeah. The decision has been made. I’m going to upgrade the firmware. I’ve bought like 3 games recently and I have another two sitting there because I can’t play them. So it seems utterly pointless to keep with 1.5. Plus, I figure I can downgrade later if I really want to.
In any case, I’ve decided eBay is the devil in disguise and whilst retail therapy is good for the soul, it’s not good for the hip-pocket. I really must stop. It’s not like I have the time to play all these games or watch DVDs. ):
Anyways, back to trawling for icons/avatars. No kidding. I’m really hoping I’ll get the time to make some of my own.. some of them are utterly hilarious :D Not sure how to do the animated stuff. Might give the “Animation Shop” which comes with PaintShop Pro a go. I have no idea how to use Photoshop (anybody want to teach me? :P) *sigh*. Too much to do. Not enough time…..
