Sometimes Windows 7 won't recognise Canon cameras.
My camera worked on my friend's computer who has Windows 7 Professional, so we knew the camera wasn't faulty. I was simply unable to find a driver to download, and neither could Windows Update. Error code 28 plagued me in Device Manager. It was annoying. I did a firmware upgrade just in case there was some weird bizarre compatibility issue, but that did not fix it either. So I started thinking - what makes his computer different from mine, the answer was the "N" in our versions of Windows.

I have probably just lost a friend because of my political alignment. It's no secret, I vote Liberal. I campaigned for Malcolm Turnbull, and I'd campaign again.

After great personal problems, I decided not to attend my maths exam. There was little point, it was only going to save face with the maths department anyway. I shall receive a "Failed Absent" for maths. I will be doing the same for ELEC170.
I don't give a rat's arse anymore. I ave up.

Warning: Rude words contained within.
ELEC170 has done it again. 9 hours to go before the first ELEC170 class of the week, and AGAIN they have not posted the tutorial worksheet up again. This has triggered a rant that has been a long time coming. After a 2 week break, I'm frustrated by my first class before I have even started it. I apologise for any rude words. I apologise for nothing else.

So, my ELEC170 unit at university requires me to use LaTeX. To describe it in one line, LaTeX is a document preparation system.
It really is what HTML could have been. If only Tim Berners-Lee sent Donald Knuth a quick email saying "hey, I got this great idea, and you've already done most of the legwork, can you just add hyperlinks?" But instead, he re-invented the wheel.

I'm enrolled in COMP115 at Macquarie University right now and I'm bored. It was recommended that I apply for an exemption due to my experience (which I only worked out today was about 20 years of programming whilst chatting to a friend about her assignment!), but given that I am concerned about my grades, I need all the HDs (High Distinctions) I can get.

Ted, I believe we are about to embark upon a most unprecedented adventure.
I enrolled into a BSci (Major: Electronics) at Macquarie University, and I am now officially past the half way point for the maths bridging course I chose before starting MATH130.

An update to previous post Guys Lie.
Alarm Bell Number 8: Made no attempt to make plans for Christmas or New Year. UPDATE: Until pressed about NYE.
Alarm Bell Number 9: I suspect he didn't buy her an xmas present until after she posted on Facebook that I I got her a Wii. Reasoning: he got her a Wii game; and she posted it on Xmas day.

I'm sooo tired right now; spent the day in the heat, or the airconditioned and then heat again working on the car; and I haven't slept in about 28 hours now. It's not a record, but combined, it's taken its toll.
