Gold!
Month: November 2006
Exams are over!!!!
Finally I can relax, get on with some of my projects and get the house sorted.
Three months on my own schedule… Bliss!
My Desk
Given I’ve just finished setting up my desk in the new place and I haven’t messed anything up yet I decided to give you, the lovely readers, a little tour of my desk.
Note the contrast between this and the last photo I put up of my desk.
- A small notepad for jotting things down
- A photo of my grandmother when she was at school. It was given to me when I was 11 because I looked a lot like her.
- A photo of me and my (late) grandfather at Christmas last year. Given to me by my mother a couple of months ago after his death.
- My notebook which I carry around with me everywhere (well theoretically anyway) I intend to replace it with a Moleskine because I like pretty stationary.
- Coffee, pens, pencils, post-it notes and other paraphernalia.
- My GTD flowchart adapted from the one linked in a previous post to suit my particular contexts etc.
- Calculator and PDA
- My notebook – full of study notes. Look! only one project on the desk at a time! How good am I??
- My Fender Strat. For those who are interested its a Mexican Fender which I have been reliably informed sits between American and
JapJapanese in quality/value. - A sub woofer.
- (Not pictured but between the chest of drawers and the desk) A Marshall Amp.
Edited: I received a rather colourful comment which I won’t publish here from someone decided to be offended by my use of ‘Jap’ in reference to a guitar. It went on to imply that only [insert racial slur against Jewish people] would use the word ‘Jap’ and asked me if I was a [insert racial slur]. Firstly I’m not Jewish so if you’re going to try to offend me you’ll have to try a little harder. Secondly the last time I heard ‘Jap’ used as a racial slur rather than an abbreviation along the lines of ‘Aussie’ was so long ago that I forgot that in some overly PC countries it is still considered one. So I’m sorry if I offended anyone

Naomi’s HSC Design and Technology major work blog will soon be up and running. Actually its already up and running but its rather bare at the moment because I am waiting for her internet to be back up so she can send me her design proposal so that I can fill in some details.
As soon as its up we will be frequently blogging about the project and where we’re up to.
