On a brighter note than the last entry, I’m loving our camera and I think I’m coming along quite well with the photography skills. The 100mm lens is absolutely amazing. I’ve put some of my recent favourites under the cut.

Beanie is VERY insistent that we get out of bed and pay attention to him.

I keep forgetting about Prisma. It’s certainly a good way to spruce up low-quality nighttime photos!

Today can go fuck itself in the ear
Blargh. I had an extremely dumb day today at work. You know those days where nothing sinks in and you just don’t get anything? That was today.
Work has paid for a couple of us to take the official Sun Java training courses (at not-insignificant expense!) and I’ve been working my way through it (this is the very basic don’t-know-any-Java-or-any-object-oriented-programming-at-all one that I’m doing). At the end of each section there’s exercises where you write code to do various things. As I get further into it, they give you less and less hand-holding with the coding, which is understandable. But I was just not understanding it at all. I had to get a co-worker’s help about four times and it still didn’t actually click.
Later on, there was a support case that I took, the customer had provided a backup of his data so we could try to reproduce the problem. I was still struggling to get the backup imported when a co-worker replied to the customer having looked through it all and worked out what the problem was, and what the solution was.
Then at the end of the day I took another support case, and I’d gotten so bogged down from the two things I mentioned above that I was totally doubting myself, and had to double check my answer to the customer with a co-worker because I wasn’t sure.
Plus poor my kungfupolarbear might possibly be losing her job, or possibly not, we don’t know, because the CEO at the company she’s working at is a dick with no actual understanding of what she does.
Ugh. The title of this post says it all.

[LJ2ME] Whee!
Hurrah for drunken updating from a LiveJournal meet!
Also, __stripped says I’m a nerd. 🙁

Sweet!
I went down to the Mall this evening to get a haircut. (Short hair+goatee plus plus!). I’ve also pre-ordered Halo 2 (and the guy at EB said they’ve got about 400 preorders for it so far), and I’m buying a Sony-Ericsson T610 mobile phone! I’ve wanted to get a Bluetooth/iSync-compatible phone for a while now (ever since I got my PowerBook, really), and I’ve worked out this would be the cheapest method.
I’m on a $33/month plan at the moment with a Nokia 6100. I talked to the guys in the Optus shop, and they said the only options were to cancel my current plan (which would cost ~$450) and upgrade to the $45/month plan, which offers the T630. I’m not even using the $33/month, so that’d be silly.
The other option is to buy the T610 outright for ~$480, transfer my SIM card over from my 6100 to the T610 and continue on with the $33/month plan until it runs out towards the end of next year. After that, I’ll just be paying for what I use.
w00t!
