25.05.2005 – Wednesday 25 May – Oracle is bad, Tomorrow is Today

• Kieran collected Maz and I, and we returned to the joy and happiness that abounds within the walls of GPS.

2:22pm

• I just got back from Indooroopilly, where Kieran and I had lunch. Now, back to INFS3202, which I’ve been working on all morning.

4:04pm

• Going to walk to the Ville for food and then go to work. Maz is heading off with Kieran, also to work.

9:07pm

• Here I am back in the labs after an uneventful night at work. How happy I am that I can once again be with my SQL.

3:53am

• After spending hours trying to fix a stupid, spastic, horrible Oracle error, I am now back to actually getting some work done. Kieran has just left.

5:45am

• Showered and cleaned teeth – and am now feeling somewhat more human.

8:39am

• So tired. Going for a walk and to look for food.

Morning

• CSSE3004 is not what I wanted this morning – I am so tired. Ken refuses to release any tutorial solutions. Ken refuses to provide a sample exam. Ken refuses to release past exams. Ken refuses to provide the sample exam question lecture slides we were shown today. I am paying for this course, and Ken is making it as ineffectual as he possibly can. Ken must go.

Afternoon

• More INFS3202. What a horrible assignment – Java is a horrible language, and JSP has to be the worst server-side language possible. Oracle is a despicable joke, and Tomcat ridiculously slow.

3:42pm

• Off for food then lecture to see Kieran lecturing. In retrospect, he did not do any lecturing, but I did get a free chocolate bar.

5:54pm

• About to head off to work. In labs with Kieran, Clint, Marcus, having just got back from the Microsoft .NET demonstration.
