Been spending the day studying for economics and tweaking my computer. Also figured out what happened to my email. Dreamhost changed some of the mail stuff around with the server shift. The mail is running on it’s own server now, not off our domains. As far as the computer stuff goes, i delted corel linux, not that linux is bad, i just wasn’t using it. Got rid of win98 too, wasn’t using it either. Put a small partition at the front of the hard drive for the use of the windows swap files. It makes things run a bit faster. Last night also marked the first time I bought anything online. Grabbed two cd’s; catch 22 – alone in a crowd and blood for blood – livin’ in exile from mymusic. It’s a decent site, it had everything in canadian prices and was somewhat cheaper than buying it in a store. The 600ml coke bottles have a $5 off thing for mymusic as well.

Was up a little on the early side today, considering I didn’t have an exam today. I actually made it to breakfast this morning. It’s not a whole lot of fun having all the exams crammed together, better spacing would have been nice. I’ve realized recently that I didn’t do enough work during the school year. Actually, not so much work, more doing review. I competed all my assignments, but should have started going over things a lot earlier, there’s just too much to cover in a week or two.

Dreamhost has been making a transition between two different service types, basically moving people over to another server, etc. everyone ends up with more services. I think they’ve moved me over in the last couple days, I also think I’ve managed to lose email in the process. It hasn’t been receiving any. Time to get cracking on my studying for the day, last exam is tomorrow at 2. Then I’m heading home friday.

Exam time, exam time. University exams are damn hard. Welcome to first year. You realize that you really did nowhere near enough work throughout the year. Residence life isn’t a party, you are here to work. Not that I never did any work, just not as much reviewing, extra, etc as i should have been doing. I’m done with two exams so far, 3 left to go. One monday, one tuesday and one thursday. I had computers friday night at 7 and psych at 9am saturday. Doing shit like that causes you to forget that it’s even a weekend. Certain cafeterias aren’t open, then you realize that it is in fact saturday. My brain was hurting after my exam friday night, too much thinking. The computer people expect you to think like one dammit. Then the psych aspect kicks in and you realize there are no pain receptors in your brain, therefore it must all be in your mind. You’re imagining the pain, just like you’re imagining that dinosaur sitting on top of your monitor.

The death of a 91 year old woman from montreal is considered asian entertainment, go figure. That’s where it’s classified in the yahoo directory. The last line is great, “It’s just a very sad story”.

If you ever wondered what gastric lavage was. How to deal with a tylenol 3 overdose. Not that anyone overdosed, we wanted to know what was in it.

The submarine would be a nice computer case to have.

Our prime minister wishes that france had won north america from the british back in the 1700’s. Canadians just elected him prime minister, isn’t that bright. There’s some great patriotism, wonder if he really wants to keep quebec in canada. Maybe a reason he hasn’t cracked down on the sign laws in quebec. Hypocritical, double standards.

Random notes, links; top sites at google (art sites, conform is up pretty high), makeshift eden, a personal site (high on content, good layout too), shaun, don’t think i ever saw this design finished, i haven’t been there in awhile.
