le chat noir strikes back
as i can finally see my last exam in the not too distant future (tomorrow) i have decided it's well and truely time that i do my usual mid-exam blog post. in previous exam periods there have been close to an average of 32982398 posts. i'm unsure of whats different this time. maybe too many distractions. maybe i'm just getting lazier by the day. the latter wouldn't surprise me actually: this morning i woke up at 9.30am and didn't move until 45 minutes later. i just sat there, in bed that entire time - too lazy to get up (or too cold) and too lazy to go back to sleep (or too cold.)
it snowed in queensland the other day.
i dont get it. melbourne (and tasmania... but i cant speak for them... cos i dont know how much snow they get) is disgustingly close to antarctica, especially when compared to queensland, yet it hasn't snowed in melbourne in my lifetime. that is so unfair.
i was talking to aaron s last night who was appauled that i'd never been to the snow.
although, now thinking of it... i have seen snow, because my canberra host family took me up to see the snow on that montain thing that looms of canberra.
i cant wait for birri. me and the gheys, plus james and others who i have forgotten, are going down to pollys farm next week for some chill out time. it should be good fun. it's only for 2 nights, but it will still be nice. i'm thinking of going down to lorne-ish area after that and meeting up with jon + maybe others to attempt to scale this hill/wall in our vee-hee-cals. it's a competition to see who can do it with the most style. i will win. i said the winner wins a 1kg bag of m&ms... but i might change the prize to something less detrimental on the size of my gut.
i'd also just like to say that tomorrows exam is very silly. it is on the following programming language thingys:
- CSS
- JavaScript
- JScript
- XHTML
- DHTML
- XML
- ASP
- ASP.net
- SQL
- DBI
- ADO
the last two i have never heard of in my life and that scares me.
hopefully i'll be sweet on most of them. i think i'm most worried about DHTML, on account of i'm not entirely sure of its exact purpose.
ok, here we are, from
w3schools:
DHTML is the art of making HTML pages dynamic! DHTML is a combination of technologies used to create dynamic and interactive Web sites. To most people DHTML means a combination of HTML, Style Sheets and JavaScript.
thats lame.
ok, it's 11am now. i might go and get my book and do some study. or maybe i'll have a nice warm shower.
