And… oh woe is me. What will come of me now that I have to find myself a
new dance partner?? But what did I expect? Tradition states that I must find
myself a new partner every year - this coming year being year 4!
I’ve been doing a bit of playing around with Mozilla (again), and I’ve got
some more advanced stuff going on with RDF and templates, I’ve worked out
how to register chrome, and I’ve got XPInstall working. More to come…
The W3C are considering allowing patents into
their proposals. Grrrrrrrr!
A list of RPG
cliches through the years. I recognise a lot of those! 
Eeek. Another drunken entry. Dermot’s birthday thingy - no work tomorrow, so
could stay out late. We went to Mongolian BBQ, then Fibbers. Was good, am
drunk so can’t give complete synopsis of thingy. But good fun crowd there,
I learned to play the guitar (air version I’m afraid) and it was all good.
Well except I shouldn’t have bought food in BK afterwards, but that’s all
part of the ‘tradition’ I guess! Off home now - goodnight gentle reader!
Apparently, random numbers predicted the WTC disaster.
Well tonight’s night out tells me that I can be in a good mood again, and
perhaps I already am Tonight was a rather great night in fact, even
if I was only there for about two hours… but it was great fun - Captain
America’s delivering big pitchers of cocktails as per usual!
And of course my swim classes were on again this evening - the big
scéal of the day being getting a muscle pulled in my leg doing
the backstroke, and an ensuing conversation about how common/uncommon that
is, during the cocktail period! And I found that I’m not alone in getting
cramp between two toes of the foot very occasionally! That’s a relief…
Earlier on I got to go to the Oracle 9i presentation in the Mansion House.
Yawn! If I’d stayed until the end, I’d have gotten t-shirts and
cocktails, but oh it was unbearable patting on the back
and saying “How good are we!” - I should have known, of course - but still!
My mind is a blank tonight, I cannot think of anything to say, nothing which
can be put here anyway. Well except - I spent 90 minutes in one pub, 90
minutes in another, and… I need sleep. At least I hope that’s it. Apologies
to both groups for not being in the absolute bestest form ever! Hm I can’t
say that directly to them of course, since it’s the kind of apology that
evokes a “No Worries” response from people (in a ‘nothing to apologise for’
sort of way)
Time to go. At this time of the evening, I start to feel that footsteps in
the corridor is the sound of security, about to burst in and discover me.
I guess that technically I am in the wrong by being here… it’s a bit of
a habit for the moment, but also something that will cease fairly soon,
well once the people I know have gone and left college, that’ll be the end
of it for me. And generally just meeting people around in pubs/town is just
as good, as long as I’m not tired.
And a happy birthday to Dermot today too! Spent a while in Mahaffeys, the
usual spot, but the real celebration is yet to come…
I might go to the Netsoc meeting this evening. In spite of the obvious fact that probably half of the committee don’t know me at this stage, and are thinking ‘who the hell is this guy??’ - ah I have to say hi to Claire again anyway
