Long long day.

I think I was supposed to start university today. After deciding for far to long I wanted to go to uni, I finally applied.. and got in for a BSc(Hons) in CS + Networking.

Not bad considering i've not got a single bit of formal education. Based on my work experience over the years, they said it will be no problem.

Besides, the course is fairly easy (so i've heard, anyway), so i'll be trying to keep work going at full steam at the same time as studying - shouldn't be too hard, but if it is, i'll drop some work load off. (joys of my job!)

Anyhow, I think I was meant to start today - but I didn't send the final forms off until wednesday last week., so my paperwork seems to have been delayd. Ohh well ;)

Woke up this morning, and jordan needed a tshirt to wear to work - so, i gave her one of my old ones. I never knew linux looked so sexy here, here, and here ;)

On that note, this digicam still seems a bit, err, foobared. the DSC-F1 linux programs all seem to have problems with it./ I dunno if it's the camera for linux, but whatever it is, it seems to wibble downloading certian images :/ - Another thing to look into!

Arrived home yesterday, after a whole two days holiday! Woooo!

I feel a lot more relaxed, though my eyes seem to have un-ajusted themselfs from starting at an LCD monitor for 16 hours a day, so I had to give up and go to bed at about 11pm last night, grrr.

Still, wales is nice, even if people there have a damn strange accent. It was nice to see PoBK again, and being able to spend some time outside of plymouth with jordan was also really nice.

I've just started to look at ny todo list, and outstanding tickets, and ohhhhhh dear!

Time to get to work on them, i think!

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
