Just Imagine...

14 out of 21 computers giving you this message (including the one you're demonstrating on), in a class of Grade 1/2 students, and the only way to fix it is to restart the computer.



Now, imagine, on a regular basis, 5 or 6 computers doing that, every time you use Microsoft Word and Powerpoint. EVERY LESSON.

Weekend

Bought Future Memories (the latest ATB album) from iTunes on Friday, and had a chance to listen to it. It's not too bad. I also ordered the 2CD/1DVD version from Amazon Germany. Here's what I thought of it.


Last weekend, when I got home from Adelaide, I set up the bookshelf that I bought from IKEA, and put it in my room, and got it all full of my junk. I like the design (I've a very design conscious person), and like the way it looks. Other than a bookshelf, it's acting as a desk, and an Entertainment Unit. And, for $129, it's doing a very good job.


While cleaning my room, I found 3 of my old mobile phones that I had used before I left the country. I took them into a phone shop to recycle them. From left to right: Sony Erricson, Nokia, LG. Japan 2, Korea 1. hehe


Lately, I've been playing Star Trek: Conquest on my Playstation 2. It's a strategy game, where you have to take over the galaxy. It's kinda like Risk, but with a Star Trek theme. I'm not doing too bad, i think.

Lately?

I haven't had much to blog about lately, just going to work (which isn't too bad). I joined a gym, but recently, I've got a bad cold, and haven't been going. Once I'm better, I'll go again.

But, a few weeks ago, I ordered a new 17" MacBook Pro, and I got it yesterday. It's a big improvement on the previous Black MacBook I had.

Last week, I was thinking about going back to Korea for work again, but not so sure about it now. I don't mind my new job, even if it is a bit random at times. In Korea, there isn't much room for career advancement, when it comes to teaching English there (in my opinion), so it would be better to work on my teaching career here in Australia. If I can, I'm thinking about going to Korea for a 2 week holiday in either early July, or late September (just before Chuseok). See how that goes.

Got 4 and a half weeks to go until the Autumn Break, and am planning to go to Melbourne for about a week. Looking forward to it. One thing that was (and still is) hard to get used to, is being in a country where travelling for 4 hours doesn't get you very far (where as, when I was in Korea, 4 hours got me to Seoul or Busan ^^).

Recent Update

Found my old Mac, and it still works. It's a Director's Edition PowerMac 5500/250. 250MHz Power PC Processor, 64Mb RAM, 10Gb HDD, AV Kit. Also 4x SCSI CD-Writer.

Another scene from bike riding, on a good day.

A nearby lake, which used to be used for a yachting club.

Other things:
* Had an Echochardiogram (a fancy word for an ultrasound on your heart) on Friday, and a heart specialists appointment this morning. Basically, I'm fine, just gotta loose weight and keep eating all healthy, and stop eating crap, keep up the exercise.
* No news on the job yet. Only 4 school days to go this year - new year starts late Jan.
