Well, it has been a little while, but here's a quick update on what I have been up to:

-----

-- Finished uni! Yes, I'm pretty sure I have finished all my courses so I am looking for a job now. Thesis consumed my life this year; it was a difficult year but to be finished is pure elation!

-- Wrote off my car. I got rear ended a little while back but the repairs weren't worth it. So Little Lancer is gone now; I wrote it off, collected the insurance money and saved having to pay my insurance for the next year. So now I'm carless, but I'll be able to borrow cars and scab rides for a while, and then look at getting a new car when I get a job.

-- Sold my Wii. Yes, well I did enjoy having it, but I have hardly been playing it lately, and although I do not regret my foray into console land it has made perfectly clear to me one thing: I am a PC man, through and through. Farewell Wii.

-- Became an official contributor to the FreeBSD project. I'm the maintainer of the Asunder port now, and I'm looking to possibly get into writing some drivers in the near future. In addition, I am hoping to contribute patches upstream to Asunder, and am also following Xfce development quite intently, keeping a lookout for places where I may be able to contribute.

-- Upgraded my computer (AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+, 2GB DDR2-800). Still waiting on an 8800GT to arrive. I have a massive backlog of games to play: HL2 Episode 2, Company of Heroes, Bioshock and now Crysis of course!

-- I'm on Facebook now. Social networking is... interesting. But I'm finding it okay. At least Facebook doesn't hurt my eyes. Which is nice.

-----

Anyhow that's all I can think of for now. Oh yes, and it's a great day to be an Australian. The Olyroos, the Footballaroos and of course our wonderful Netballaroos all won last night! Take that Iraq, Nigeria and New Zealand!
