e-day minus one

program study
!I have to do a lot of study today.

!declare variables
logical ComfyClothes, UggBoots, FoodInBelly
logical Music, Books, DeskSpace, GoodHealth
integer CareFactor
logical PeopleToTalkTo, PlacesToGo, ThingsToDo

!initialise variables
ComfyClothes = .true.
UggBoots = .true.
FoodInBelly = .true.
Music = .true.
Books = .true.
DeskSpace = .true. !Wow, that's amazing...
GoodHealth = .false.

Carefactor = 0
PeopleToTalkTo = .true.
PlacesToGo = .true.
ThingsToDo = .true.

print*, 'Why do I bother?'

end program


edit: I fixed up the variable assignments for the logical variables, so this is now a fully-functioning (but nearly completely useless) Fortran90/95 program!

teardrop

One of my favourite songs is Teardrop by Massive Attack. iTunes just served it up for me and I was pleasantly surprised, so I thought I'd write about it. I like it, and the atmosphere it creates in my psyche. Mmm...

I started studying the Numerical Methods part of my Mathematical Computing course today at about 4:30. I went through and worked out what I do and don't need to study (he gave us a list), and then summarised half of the first chapter. Hey, it's a start.

One of these days I'd really like to get myself an iPod, just so I can listen to heaps of awesome tunes in my car. My CD player's broke and tapes are relatively crummy.

Mmm... dinner.

This post has relatively no point. Hmm.

no words

Its hard to say just how i feel...
I feel the tension rising inside of me, and in a week it'll be all over.
I feel very little compulsion to work.
I feel crowded.
I feel lonely.
I feel at home.
I feel stranded.
I feel caged by my own inactivity.
I feel better for having read the Bible for the first time all week.
I feel like an idiot when im around myself.
I feel painful after such an epic tennis match.
I feel sleepy.

life

You know... I've just realised that I'm actually enjoying life right now!

Those of you who are closest to me will know that this is quite a rare thing for me, so praise God!

ubuntu is mine

I just received in the post a Ubuntu CD that I ordered a while ago. Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux which I hope to get running on my old computer so I can use it for programming and music recording and stuff. That'll keep me busy in the holidays! :o)

edit: my old laptop's CD drive has risen from the grave and is enabling me to install Ubuntu with minimal fuss!!! I'm astonished! Thanks God! This probably isn't the best time for me to do this though I guess.

update: well... the cd drive died again. Thus far, I've got FreeDOS running, copied the installation CD to the harddrive and am working on getting it to boot. Slow process!

update 2: success!!! and now I'm going to sleep coz it's crazy late.

beautiful

After each time I hear the voice of Katie Noonan, one of the singers from the band George, no other music that I can think of can satisfy me...

If you know me and you have a voice like her, we need to talk.
