I’ve take to using grep and a //TODO comment to handle my project management on my project. It’s better than keeping a list in a separate file cause this also keeps the context of what you wanted to do.

Learning the Guitar
I’ve started trying to learn the guitar, it’s quite entertaining and challenging. I started when I was sitting around at Carl’s house and made him teach me a few chords. I have a problem where I focus too much on the chords and suck at strumming, but I think I’m getting better.
Carl bought a new guitar of a friend of his, it’s a steel string and it’s so sweet to play. It leaves huge callouses on your fingers from playing it though. I’m seriously considering buying a guitar for myself.
Google Desktop Search
Dave Winer is excited about the new Google Desktop Search, he says they need to allow users to add their own drivers which allow more content types to be searchable. I agree totally with his thinking that they need to open it up. This is going to show us if Google get’s it.
Avoiding Procrastination
I’m continuosly struggling with myself to actually do my uni assignments. The list of things I do that I shouldn’t is as long as my arm, read blogs, write the software that runs this, read my emails etc. I found a link to a good article on a whole lottanothing today. It’s worth the read.
Australian University Games
Last week I travelled to Perth with USQ to play Volleyball at Australian University Games. While our position (9th) wasn’t as good as we felt we could have gone, the week was a blast and I’m sure that every person on the team had a good time. We played well and the younger less experienced players will have taken alot away from the week.
Perth is a beautiful city, it seems clean and friendly. There is very little graffiti (except in the McDonalds toilet) and there is a huge police presence. This could have been because of the Uni Games and the warship in town but I suppose I will never know.
Topics
Someone told me today that they always read this site but never understand anything I write. I’m flattered that they read it and I have been planning to write stuff about everything, uni, sport, me and all that other geeky stuff. So if you were thinking about changing channels, stay tuned the programming will get better.
