well for some reason brisbane city council went way overboard in stopping people from accessing the net on the pc's just for viewing the catalog over the internet. we all know that the internet wants to be free. the ways they stop the spread of the internet on the broswer terminals is to not allow you to access the address bar. it is unchangeable. all the good stuff in ie that you hate with a vengence because we use firefox are missing. eg you can't save, load, change anything nor copy paste or change any of the tool bars. i'd take a screenshot of what it has but that has also been disabled. this is just in the browser, but for the operating system, it has no start button. tho it does have the task bar so thats a good thing.
now getting back to allowing you to go to any webpage out on the net via this terminal is easy. just do a search that will turn up no results and it comes up with a handy link. asking you if you want to do a google search. that is such a handy link to leave lying around the place and in doing so has foiled their plans of locked down pc.
hope you have fun. its easy to make a list of stuff you look at regurlay or even just to google the address you want.

xml exam in 3 hours
well i should be studying for an exam that starts in 3 hours but i'm here typing to you all about how well i might pass this subject. currently got 29.15% in the subject and just need another 21.9% to pass but i should stick to 30% just on the safeside. last exam is worth 60% out of the entire subject so i need at least 50% on it. good that its multiple choice :):) well gtg now. boingboing.net might have something interesting on it by the time you finish reading this.

The Waterfall model
Hmm, it’s interesting that when you apply for a programming job, they ask you if you know the waterfall model. Quite strange but because I have not been in a position where people come to me asking me to make something on a scrap piece of paper I didn't know that it’s a big thing. So all those subjects just covering the model were not lost. Darn it was so boring too, if they told us that we would need this info for getting a job, I might have remembered more of it instead of brain dumping it to the computer so I can think better on programming in other languages, eg C#, java, scheme and recently XQuery.

XQUERY why with the fortran??
i have no idea why people love this language. i'm guessing it came from people liking SQL and Scheme. with a bit of java thown in just for kicks. i'm starting to hate how the internet documentation on XQuery is rather lacking in some parts, such as how do i do dynamic tags??? also how do i change what the elements have stored when doing more than 2 querys one after the other??

easter holidays where did they go???
well its been a week and i have no idea where those holidays went :( i wish i could have had more time to just be lazy. instead i cleaned the house. worked and did minimal study as well as hanging out at a friends house and seeing sunshine. sunshine was a good movie. :)
tho the noise they included kinda sucks because if you are in a vaccum. you would not hear anything unless you were connected to the structure that was getting blasted by heat of the sun.
