You look different in that picture for some reason. Have you had a haircut?

A political science major, Jeff Saunders earned four letters in varsity soccer and set Hobart career records for goals (44), assists (26), and points (114). He shares the single season marks for assists (12) and points (42). A two-time All-American, he is the only Statesmen to be named to the NSCAA All-American first team. As a senior, Saunders served as team captain and was the leading scorer on the 1992 Hobart team that was 15-0-0 during the regular season, ranked No. 1 nationally in Division III, and earned Hobart soccer’s first invitation to the NCAA Division III Championships.

I got a copy! I got a copy! I got a copy!
Skies of Arcadia: Legends
The only true RPG for the Gamecube, to date, and reviewed by all and sundry to be excellent. The bastards discontinued the Australian version the day of its release in my state, citing 'poor sales' - this when the game had been out for three days and was already in the top ten chart for GCN game sales. But I did not give up hope; I searched and wheedled and back-ordered and a copy is in the process of being shipped to me right now yAY.

what

Okay, that makes no sense out of context, so here's some explanation. I recently set up a new server, running Debian. I went through all sorts of stuff, making it up, and eventually got to apache...
...only to be greeted by this "srm.conf", which recommends that I do not use it for anything. This begs the question: why is it THERE?

Here's something which I wrote some time ago, intending to blog it, but never ended up doing so.


As I type this, I am sitting in a cafè in Fremantle, waiting for my food to arrive. The table is a glorious royal blue, and my shiny white laptop is very visible against it. I am en route; Prospero Productions is behind me and Cameron Hall in front. Having spent a few hours repairing Macs, I now have a cheque for $630 in my case, and more on the way. In my bag is an interesting new fantasy book and in my pocket is an iPod. After eating and depositing it at the bank, I will proceed to the Hall and roleplay the night away, spending time with friends and pretending to kill fabulous monsters in the name of a god that does not exist. Exams are in two weeks and I have no assignmen




At that point, my food was ready, and I closed my laptop hurriedly. Why didn't I finish and post that snapshot of my life? Well, my mood changed somewhat. I fell ill, and illness makes you miserable even when all else in life is good. By the time that was over, there were exams...

So what's relevant and what has changed? I'm in the same cafè, with the same laptop. The $630 was spent on a new CPU, which has made computing rather more pleasurable. Coincidentally, I'm now owed another $640, which will get me a fanless home server. Tonight is Michael's 18th 'P' party, and these chips are delicious.

As when the original post was writen, I am happy. Life currently is good: exams are over, social opportunities abound and personal projects are coming along well. Life in the future will be good too: plenty of time to work on phunt, next semester I have a LOW workload, my marks seem like they'll be good enough to get into Honours. What more could I reasonably ask for?
