Well, only one more exam to go (Fri). I feel the looming presence of a 2:2, but I shall attempt to stave it off.

Malta sounds a bit touristy.

Hey ho, back to work.

well, I must say, sitting here with a quart of Vaseline up my nose, trying to concentrate on the topics of Expected Entropy and Differential Cryptanalysis is pretty darn exciting!

Why vasaline, I hear ask? Well, hay fever hit last week and after attempting to gin and bear it like any staunch english man, I pegged it in to town and bought some antihistamine. There were about eight to choose from, so I picked at random. Had i a die, then I would have use that.

I promptly took one and strode home and upon arriving started working. After about half an hour I was feeling fairly lethargic and by an hour I was near-dead to the world, I was so sleepy. So I valiantly strove onward and about five hours later it began to wear off.

Just as well I gave the hellish drugs a trial run before the exams! They did work, and were even meant to be non-drowsy, but I shall try and get another brand next week. Unfortunatly my exams are this week.

So Clearly, vaseline is the only solution.

I say leave the anke black! Black as the sky!!!

Malta hey… nice. What are these fabled sledge tracks?

jul: Spooks is a MI5/6 program. second series. I vaguely remember the 1st so I guess you must have watched it too.

Biscu, this doxy stuff sounds a bit hellish. Methinks I’ll stear clear of malaria-infested hellhole if I go trvelling…

Had my first exam yesterday. Only 1.5hrs, went ok.

Oh and I saw Matrix 2 the other day. I thought it was good, but everybody except for chis hated it. Throuble is, they went in to the film expecting to hate it and generally with a nitpicking attitude. Thus preventing them from suspending disbelief, which solid will tell you, if the key to enjoying any film. Personally, I thought it was fairly good, but should have been more of a standalone film. And I didn’t like the preachy bit in the cavern. and the rest of the preachy stuff. also, who switched the matrix back on? Didn’t neo turn it off at the end of the last one?

jul, why is your eye twitching?

I’ll have one too. tho how you will get it thru customs I don’t know….

The van looks truely hideous, yet, at the same time, quite nifty.

Watched “Spooks” last night – not bad at all.

Dunno what’s wrong with your email, dod. Tried logging on to the webmail with your details and send a few messages. worked fine.

The Canon cameras use Compact Flash cards which are the most common type, but also the oldest and therefore largest. still, they’re the cheapest too! not sure about the worldwide warranty, but if I had to guess, i’d say yes…

How about a Canon? Apparantly they have good lenses. The Ixus 400 might be a tad expensive but the ixus v3 might be cheap enough.
