Do you remember how I used to have those links posted in my blog? Well, I’ve saved them. Looking at the ones from 2004, a lot of them have disappeared and are no longer available. This is what we call “link rot”. The idea of “permalinks” was a good one but not really a sustainable…

Look, I know what all you full-timers will say. But understand this, the exchange rate on school holidays are… not as lucrative as your holidays. That is to say, university students have too many holidays. We have no idea what to do with them all. There are not enough time constraints placed on us. Let…

The girl is kinda cute RMIT has helpfully provided videos on how to wear your graduation gown, mortarboard and that confusing hood thing. RMIT – Gowning Demonstration Important Update It turns out they do not check if you are a student when you show up for photos. If anyone happens to want to waste some…
