Plan for Daniel Neilsen

I have come to the conclusion that I really really hate university and studying more than anything on this planet.

I currently have an economics assignment due and, frig, lets be honest, it is the most useless, good for nothing dribble that could of possibly been created. Its like an accountant and a lawyer got together and merged into some freaked out, crazy-assed mofo thing that spewed up something that then crawled away and mutated into economics.

/rant mode off

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
Anyway, whilst I was "studying" the other night I saw someone on irc talking about character servers and connecting to mysql directly from TGE and, well, long story short, I ended up writing up a nice simple little resource to help him out.

I didnt realise it until I was looking at the resource I have submitted alter on but that was my 10th code snippet on GG. I couldnt believe I had actually submitted that many but, apparently I have.


The new game that Ron Yacketta and mysql are working on is still going well and the gui is starting to take shape. The first real mission has been created and now just needs the final touches on it to finish it off.

On top of that my head office at work has given me another contract to create another web based application for australia wide usage of staff so that should keep me busy for another week or so at work before I have to go back to my normal Quantity Surveying work.


What else has been happening. Hmm.
I got a call on friday night to fill in for a local tennis team and didnt realise, until I got there that it was for division 1. akk. I havnt touched a tennis racket for 6 months so it was never going to be good. The first ball I hit went under the net but I corrected myself with the next ball and hit it totally over the fence. Yeah.... good start. Then my service game quickly ended with a string of 4 double faults in a row. LOL

At this point in time I decided I would take off my glasses and play half blind (im shortsighted). Funnily enough, we came back to lose that game in a tie break 7-6 and then won my other two sets 6-3 and 6-1. Not bad for a blind hacker huh?

I can honestly say though, I have never been this sore in my life..... oooowwww it hurts to type :(


p.s. oh yeah, One of the females on the opposite team smashed the ball at me and drilled me square in the chest.

p.p.s STOP LAUGHING! :)
