Diary: March 2003
Ananova has the best news stories...
Tristan's lecture went pretty well yesterday. He only broke down, repeated himself and stuttered a few times.
There appears to be a woman standing outside the library talking loudy into a loudspeaker, and getting ignored by everyone. She sounds a little like those recordings you get of Hitler giving rousing speeches to spur his troops onwards to glorious battle, murder, rape and pillage. But she's probably just complaining about war or taxes or christians or something.

It's my Mum's birthday tomorrow (well, today now), so I'm home. We'll go have some food tonight, and in the morning, I'll be going to tonbschl. Or, if you're one of my many regular readers who go to the aforementioned school, I am coming for you. I know where you live. Well, if you're a boarder. Seriously though, keep up the ever-creative fan mail, we love it. That was the first time I'd ever been called that, good to see that imagination isn't just something that small immature people have.

I'm sitting in the uni library setting up mir so that it initialises the dxr3 when it turns on. Had a sandwich earlier. I've just done some stuff to the tonbschl site. I have 6 emails in my inbox, all are spam. Boring day.
I woke up this morning at 6.30 to opera music, and Tristan occasionally whistling along (badly and out of tune :p). He had forgotten to prepare the lecture notes for his C++ lecture this afternoon, so stayed up all night doing it. Fool.

There's someone outside waving the French flag.
I am speechless.
Perhaps they're making fun of them.
Or maybe they've invaded and have claimed Bath University as their capital. Hmm. Nah, that one's not very likely. French tanks have 5 gears; 4 reverse and one in case the enemy attacks from behind. And you know the difference between toast and the French? You can make soldiers out of toast. (Thanks Tristan and Dave :))

Ernie 1.3.6 has a bug, I can't be bothered to release 1.3.7 over it because nobody uses it. But if you do and you want to know, it's because I copied and pasted my standard read_file subroutine, and of course that calls an error sub that I didn't copy and paste. To fix it, just search for '&error' and replace it with 'die'.
