Well another week goes by way too fast. The annual Jian Zhou lecture went ahead, with a different speaker as american airlines made the invited speaker miss his onnnecting flight.. Customs house is a nice venue for seminars though, even if not particularly needed. UQ did well in purchasing it.

Damn XP sucks compared to vista. struggling with this lappy.

Currently watching qld roar vs perth glory. I know its cheap to watch the A-league football, but I never remember when Brisbane is playing a home game. Since foxtel owns all rights there is crap all advertising on free-TV now aswell.

I really struggle selling tomtom GPS units at DSE now, even though people come in and ask for it.Garmin and Mio are so much better, but if people ask, its an easier sale to upgrade them to a better tomtom model then change their mind to a new brand. ahh sales, its so easy and requires no thought. I often wonder whether science is the right career. I know sales itself would lose my attention after a couple of months at full-time, but there is a lot of other stuff in that area.

For those geeks out there, if you want to know how to turn your mio into a full PDA, give me a buzz. I'm sad I know.

matt finally succumbed and joined facebook... who else out there hasn't joined yet?

I quite like pet sabotage and scrabble apps for it aswell.



so yeah - moving seems like the thing to do. A lot of people are giving brissy the flick. Next out of here will be alex, who despite hating americans, is choosing to live there.

Anyone want to move my stuff to melbourne for me? removalists are expensive and suck to organise.

kthxbi

my month of free platinum foxtel is over.. alas, i will survive without the excess crap.. going with basic + sports for a little while.. damn foxtel is crap.
also, ABC classic 106.1FM has its 100 top concero pieces starting tomorrow morning (sat) from 8 am.

ahh red eye platinum, how good you taste..
I have tried many energy drinks, and none compare.
p.s. dumbledore's gay

Lately, I have watched a bit of pro surfing (c/o foxtel). Its damn amazing to watch.The footage they can catch nowadays.. There's a lot more to it than it seems anyway.


So yeah, just watched Surfs Up. Cool movie. A few funny lines, great animation, several camios and they did damn well at capturing the surfing. The movements etc were scarily realistic. I think they must have been watching a bit of foxtel too.


so, anyone know a cheap removalist - my quotes so far suck, or seem quite cheap (and so I think must be from budget companies).

My posts have been somewhat negative lately, apparently. that will change.

so yeah - heard Geeban play at the lesbian's food hall on tues night (T'n'G). Twas cool.

The light saber (wii control+software for light saber sounds) featured... was mad.

Apart from that, I more than likely have a job sorted. The NHMRC gave bryan funding, so I need to get it sorted but a position is available at the Monash Institute of Medical Research, unless some massive high-roller scientist-type comes along.

On another note, this UQ international med student should be kicked out of both medicine and Australia.
