I'm getting Old

Bah humbug!

Plus my elbow hurts

Engineering Enterprise and Environmental and Sanitation Engineering exams this week and then my STD* test on the 24th...


And then Fallout 3!
*STD = Steel and Timber Design

It's Alive! Now to work on my shoulders...

That is, my shoulders feel dead

So, being bored enough to actually check out Mike Paget's blog has in a roundabout way led me back here. I wish I knew what to write...

Sailing started about 2 months ago. It's been going ok. 3 wins in 5 races. I did manage to trash my centreboard hitting a rock. That was fun. Insurance thankfully paid for a replacement but I'm glad the hull didn't break.

I've also gotten into a bad habit of hitting Greg lately. One time it was my (stupid ratchet block's) fault and the other was a miscommunication but still...
I seem to have lost a lot of speed upwind lately and I'm not sure why. I think I need to actually go out and do a bit of practice but I don't have the time or motivation.

Speaking of motivation, I've been losing a lot of it with uni. I just can't be bothered to do my work and with 2 assessments and 3 exams left for this year I should be more motivated. Sigh...

Penguins, Revisited (and Reinstalled)

So I've had to reinstall my Lappy over the weekend. It just crashed for some reason. Ah well. Fun times. I've got it set up how I like it again, which is good. It involved a lot of cussing, which is not so good.

I'm discovering that the more I spend using Linux the more I hate how uncustomisable Windows is. I've got custom shortcuts galore in Linux (half of which are the windows way of doing things, it's called reflex actions) and I really miss them in XP.

Plus non-wobbly windows are just boring!

Anyway, I have to be up relatively early tomorrow so I can get more work done on (yay...) Metals Lab report.

Bed time...

Yay.... (extreme sarcasm)

20 knot southerly for Saturday

Sigh

MARINERS!!

One more win to go!!

MARINERS!!




Confused?

And now for something completely different

The Dalai Lama is apparently a huge fan of Star Trek.

Go figure...

Wind!

Seabreeze still saying heavy winds. The only good thing is that Fort Denison seems to be reading 5 knots less than the forecast does, so possibly in the harbour it's going to be about 10 to 15.
