This is old news, but it irritates me so much. I mean, sure some people may have deficiencies in english but they should be helped to increase the quality of their writing, not allowing them to use a sub-standard deviation of english.

In my opinion, not only is it not giving people with these deficiencies the help they should be receiving but it’s butchering the english language, which is really an beautiful thing.

CCNA/Subproject 2 and Internetworking are completed. I’m relieved, CCNA was the only subject I might’ve failed, but it turns out I passed, so Diploma for me, wee.

Oh and joy.. I have another little brother.

Lets see, next four days will be very exciting, the final moment on what the last two years have been resting on, to get my diploma or not. Well, I’m confident I’ll obtain it, but it’s possible that it could be misplaced.

I got PERL out of the way, that class is finished and done, with a credit. But I’m so nervous about everything. I mean, if I fail it, I won’t redo it, I’ll just have a CERT IV but I’m so bad at doing assignments, I leave them to very last minute and even then I do them reluctantly, not to mention I’m the world’s worse person when it comes to studying.. Ah well, we shall see what happens.

So, I stated a few months back that I met former NSW Premier, Bob Carr.

It’s taken me this long to actually get the photo scanned of him and myself, so finally here it is.

People say he was a bastard, but he really isn’t. I mean you have to be a bastard in politics to get anywhere, I do feel he made a positive impact on NSW, particularly in IT. Besides, I met him after he retired from politics, and he was a pretty nice guy to talk to.

I’ve been watching the series since it was first released in America, and wow, what can I say? They say it’s the show which saved NBC and after just watching episode nine… wow, I have to believe they are right.

It’s put a new standard on modern day drama, at least for me.

So I was playing Pool as I normally do for a past-time at TAFE and saw a poster for AUS AID, particularly promoting the Youth Ambassador Program. After reading, I think it’s a very interesting program to undertake, I might consider it sometime, not soon though.

Reasons why?

• It looks good in a resume.
• It’s a paid experience to work overseas.
• It’ll help my Portfolio for University.
• It’ll go towards my thing for being a Diplomat.

Interesting indeed, wonder if I’ll take it up.

Well, after the insistance of Paul to change to Wordpress because it “pwns” a while ago. I have finally moved and I must say it’s much nicer and crisp looking. Had to add the Bad-Behaviour Plugin because within several minutes of me converting from Nucleus and updating to 2.0.5, I had 31 spam comments. Haha. Funtimes indeed.

On other notes, last year I dedicated alot of time both proofreading and minor translating/editing Ryuusoul’s work on the Tsukihime English Translation Project done by both mirrormoon and Revolve Translations. The good news is the game has finished being translated, and a english patch has been released and I’ve been credited. Awesome stuff, indeed!

Oh, and I finish my Diploma course in two weeks, god how I hope I pass the exams and hand in the assignments on time.
