  1. In the dark (Kripa)

    ‘200,000 houses had no electricity for a couple of hours yesterday’ (from ‘The Age’) And one of those houses were mine. Apparently, a tree fell over the electric lines due to the strong winds and a part of my suburb had to sit inside their houses with no electricity. Let me tell you, I really […]

  2. Double Whammy (David)

    It was a bloody windy day today. Having spent most of my time at uni today indoors, I was kept ignorant of the chaos outside. Well I soon found out the hard way. I got back from work just a few hours ago so I will keep this nice and short. Basically – sudden downpour […]

  3. University = Profit not Education

    Unicard have taken monopolistic control of all Commerce Faculty computer labs. The $10 credit each student was entitled to at the start of each semester has been removed without trace and we are now forced to purchase Unicard printing credit out of our own pocket. Of course I find this out on the one day […]

  5. Holy bajeebus, they copied us! (Suzanne)

    I just realised that QUT has their own first year blogs for their law students. So, yeah, I know we weren’t the first ever people to blog this (MIT, for example, has had blogs for both students and staff members going back quite a few years, with some of their original student bloggers already graduated, […]

  6. Easter – What a Waste!!! (Georgie)

    I think the title says it all. I have done about 2 pages of reading for uni in the past week AND I have essays due on the 14th which I have not started. Arghhhh!!!! I feel like I’m still in summer holiday mode. I went to a barbecue on Thursday, which was lovely, but […]

  7. And another year goes by

    Wow. The term “busy” doesn’t even begin to describe how I’ve been. It’s one of those dark chilly wet Autumn days that remind you that Winter is only a stone’s throw away….and these kinds of days make me wistful for the opportunity to curl up on the couch with a good book; however other more […]

  8. Workaholics Anonymous (Suzanne)

    Yesterday I went to MJIL training day, met a lot of cool new people, exchanged introductions, and all that. And you know how when you meet new people, there’s always this one set of stock lines you use to make polite conversation? In this instance, ‘what did you get up to over Easter?’ was one […]

  10. A bargain from Microsoft and a bit of my personal rambling

    <source: www.icanhascheezburger.com> Microsoft is now selling Office 2007 Ultimate for only $75, which usually retails at about $1,150. The promotion (which will last till 15 May 2008) applies to uni and TAFE students only. Grab your perpetual (lifetime) licence here: www.itsnotcheating.com.au . (Just a side note: the reason why Microsoft is suddenly so generous is partly due to the fact that the competing products are […]
