In trying to avoid Uni I decided to fill in the survey. I don't think the result is accurate ;P

In a recent algorithms lecture it was proven that procrastination is the best way of scheduling work (well when you know the payoff, deadlines and have a good estimate of the running time). That certainly explains how it got to be the weekend before my draft thesis is due and I'm still writing it. I don't mean finessing it :-(. It seems I failed to grasp the point about having a good estimate. Bah! enough self-pity time to knuckle down

Appealing?

Well today I was asked when daylight savings comes into effect. After playing with the date command I discovered the following:
tony@balder:~$ date -R -d 'Sun, 30 Oct 2005 01:59:59' Sun, 30 Oct 2005 01:59:59 +1000 tony@balder:~$ date -R -d 'Sun, 30 Oct 2005 01:59:59 + 1 second' Sun, 30 Oct 2005 03:00:00 +1100
Which is far more humorous to me than it should be ;P( See I told you all I could space, Now I can warp time). Perhaps that's because unlike Hugh my brain ran out my ears rather than exploding.
