For those coming from a *NIX to Mac OS X, the lack of multiple desktops is rather fustrating. Oh, is it ever fustrating. But, today I stumbled across a most wonderful little application for the lovely OS X; VirtueDesktops.

Ok so I've been reading a few people's Blogs over the last couple of weeks and, while I still have little to no idea what they're all about, I thought I'd write something to give it a shot. The biggest thing going on with me right now, unfortunately, is nothing fun like watching Firefly all day or...well there's nothing more exciting than that! but And what a great topic I have! My 2nd year University Exams. Bah. So its 5 days until my first exam, and the stress has begun to set in. Partly due to the usual "oh my god, exams, important, life altering" but *sigh* largely because I've been a little too...relaxed...with revising. Six different subjects to revise, each with 8-10 weeks of lectures notes on roughly the same number of topics and I'm only half way though going over the second subject. Stress! I'm taking some (small) comfort in the fact that the first exam (the only subject I've fully revised) is followed by a free week before the second exam (which I'm half way through), giving me some time to go over the remaining subjects. I'm faced with the unenvible task of going over 5 weeks of notes tomorrow to complete my revision of the second subject, and that's no small task, and then going over another 2 subjects before Thursday and the first exam. I really don't want to have more than 2 final subjects to revise in the week off after exam 1 so the only solution is the cram like mad every day for the next couple of weeks. Joy! I know I should revise earlier, and I tell myself every year that I will, but it never happens. Guess it doesn't help that one of my best friends is exactly the same as me and we're both frantically revising our butts off. There always seems to be something infinately more interesting to do and the revision gets set aside. Anywho, I need to power my way through a few weeks of notes on Psychobiology (yes, its as interesting as it sounds) despite the fact that its almost 2am. I've promised myself I can watch a *whole* Firefly episode afterwards, and god knows that's the only thing that's going to get me through the next hour! I think one word can sum up how I'm feeling, and how I will undoubtably be feeling over the next 2-3 weeks: STRESS. -Brexan out!

They waited till the last moment possible, but we - the Canadian fans - have voted [i]Serenity[/i] as the best movie of year for 2006 at the Space! Channel's Spacey Awards! Another feather in our BDHs' caps...and just another piece of ammo for our eventual return! Everyone...raise a glass (you choose the beverage) to victory! BlueEyedBrigadier

JOSSISAGOD

Yup, I tried to convert a female friend of mine who I only see a few times a year, We got to "I love my captain.", and she got bored. I guess some people just don't like Sci-Fi. Oh, well I guess we have other things in common besides Sci-Fi. well, that's all for now, Long live Joss Whedon! JOSSISAGOD!

Sooooo anyone know a good screen capture program that is cheap-as-free? The trial for WinDVD 7 cannot be re-downloaded. It is a big bummer. I have wallpapers in mind. I need caps! Can anyone help me out?

Hey all! Just wanted to say that chapter 13 of "Over the Hills" is at 3,500 words right now, and will hopefully be finished in the next few days (and then will become the first chapter ever to be sent to a beta-reader, which should be cool). I warn everyone in advance, this chapter is looking like it will run long. Sorry for the long delay between chapters. I've had lots going on in the real world that has been sucking away my motivation (and my time), but it looks like things will get back on track. For those interested in the stillflying.net project, a new episode "Monsters" was posted last night. I wrote the first draft of it what seems like ages ago... I think it was about a month ago, actually, but now it is finally finished and posted, so yay. Peace. Katie

So I don't have to preface every comment I make with - its my opinion and not meant to offend - I'm posting this here for anyone, and everyone, to read. When someone posts their work on a public forum that allows for comments, that author/designer needs to understand that they aren't always going to get responses that they want to hear. I'm a pretty blunt person. If I'm going to take the time to comment on something, I'm going to give my opinion and it may not always be praise. If I see something I disagree with, (and its usually characterization or spelling/punctuation) I'm damn well going to mention it. You don't have to agree with me, (and really I do love to debate subjects but not until there is nothing of the original topic left but bad and hurt feelings on one or both sides) but conversely you don't have the right to tell me my opinion doesn't matter. I always attempt to make sure my comments are made it in a polite way. It's possible to fail in that due to the unemotional nature of reading simple text on a screen. What I truly detest is when I, or someone else, makes a comment and then is sent a private message being attacked and flamed for that comment. Ever think you took that comment wrong? No. Probably not. Some wonder why people leave anonymous reviews. Huh. Perhaps those who want to shove their opinion rudely down someone's throat and who cowardly flame in private and kiss ass in public ought to re-think what they're doing. I like reviews, whether they are good or bad. It doesn't matter so long as they are constructive. I want people to point out if they think something is out of character. I may not agree, or I might. Maybe the reader can point out something I missed or didn't think of.

Cant say I did much today, watched a few episodes of season seven buffy and then went over to a friends to play some games, hangout and watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, cant get that willy wonka song out of my head now :biggrin: Also, I found out that Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn) and me are the same age, wich kinda confused me since I always percieved her as alot younger. Not much else to say, so, Goodnight to you all and ill try to think of something more creative to tomorrow.
