The home stretch
Ahoy there, hordes. Not a great deal has happened since last time I wrote a blog entry a week ago (hence the general lack of updates) but I didn’t want the blog to get stale so I felt compelled to write some kind of entry.
I’m on the home stretch with the honours application now, by which I mean I’ve done absolutely nothing since I last posted a blog entry. What is on the home stretch is the actual time I have to do the application and hand it in (it’s due on Friday). To that end, I’m going in to the uni to talk to Simon tomorrow about the questions and more broadly about the other subjects I’ll be doing in honours and such. Then I just need to figure out how I’m going to get any decent reading material either up to Townsville, or source it within Townsville itself.
I’m looking forwards to getting up to Townsville, although now that the weather’s officially been cold here for the last week or so, I’ll probably die of heat exhaustion as soon as I get there.
We’ve finally got ADSL2+ happening here, which is overall much less exciting than it sounds because something’s not working properly and it’s running at about the same speed as what we already had. Technical problems, they’re the cornerstone of a successful fantasy relationship between a hammer and a computer that comes ever closer to being a reality. At the moment, the solution is looking like a complete recable of the line from the front of the house to the router, which is something like 35-40 meters of cable, hopefully we can just pull the new cable through on the old one because last time it was done, roof access was needed and difficult to attain. I’ll keep you updated on the progress (or lack thereof) in here, although I suspect you’ll hear shortly from my good friend Mr Hammer.
On a completely different note, I’m 21 in just under two weeks, so once my honours stuff is under control I can blabber on about that for a while, and then I’ll be in Townsville. Unfortunately, until then, I have very little to actually talk about.
