Monday munchies III
School has started, and I'm finally settled on my modules, so here we go -- sem 8, for the last time: Design II, Electronic Materials Science, Introduction to Narrative, and Understanding Human Relations in the New Economy. (The first and last modules were not by choice, you understand.)
There's the small matter of tutorial balloting, but I don't foresee any conflicts this semester, and I must give props to the CORS team, for how smoothly the bidding and balloting process went, considering last sem's fiasco.
I don't know why I always expect a buffer period at the beginning of each sem; that never happens. Tutorials have even started two weeks earlier than expected because a lecturer is going on academic leave next week.
Okay, you may start the countdown now.

So Putfile doesn't want to serve us, no matter. Here's a list of 50 free file transfer/storage services (via Otterman). F-I-F-T-Y. I couldn't resist trying Mooload, for obvious reasons, so you can download a copy of Ginny Owens' "This Road" here, deleted only if there's no download activity for 30 days.

Also, over dinner tonight, we were watching the news report on myopia...
Me: "You know why I wear glasses?"
Mom: "Because you don't take care of your eyes?"
Me: "No, because when we were younger, you insisted on lights out at 9 PM every night. That's just too early! So I would hide under the covers with a torchlight and my Archie comics. That explains the bad eyesight."
Mom: "Oh, so it's my fault?"
Me: "Yes!"
Mom: "Well, I carried you for nine months and breast-fed you for two. What do you have to say about that?"
Me: "..."
That's how you silence protests and complaints in this house.

And I ask
Why this road, why this way, and this load
Tell me how far must I go
Till I see, till I know, why this road

I am glad my mother has not gotten round to using those trump cards yet... although from the looks of it, it will come anytime soon. - D W
And this is why I run my own web/sftp server :-P. I can just link people directly. (not that anyone would probably even download it).My school starts tomorrow :-/. Eh, my mother doesn't use those...but she makes me feel guilty all the same. It's an innate womanly talent I suppose. *shakes fist*
hey cow long time no comment. ;)
with this list we can really say good riddance to putfile. *mutters something about being so self righteous and thick-skinned thingy*
with the mom issue, it's kinda unfair how they have that kind of argument on their side. but look on the bright side, we can use it in future too. ^_^
i'm rambling. ignore me.
D W: Trump card is right. I can't think of anything that I can say to counter that. :p
MarsianMan: She just hasn't realised that it works... yet. ;)
lyn: Hah, my mom would beg to differ on the "unfair" complaint. ;) And I've never used Putfile anyway. :)
