Dean, Shogan & I got our new place yesterday. We’ve named it ‘Q14′ because that’s what it’s UNSW grid reference would be were it on campus (yes it’s THAT close). I had movers take the stuff from my old room at my parents place, so it’s already habitible!

Shortly after moving in, a few friends dropped by and donated various personal items, so we had a home theatre system up and running in no time flat, and spent the evening watching Equilibrium.

Today I went to K-Mart to get a bunch of homewares… now we have: bins, washing machine, dryer, hand-towels, kettle, iron… quite a bit more to go. But with any luck we’ll get there in the end! We’re in deparate need of a microwave and coffee machine.. perhaps tomorrow!

  1. I’ve decided that your priorities are seriously skewed if the first thing you filled your home with was not a coffee machine… as long as you plan on rectifying it :) Hope the move goes well for you…

    (P.S. I’m enthralled with your pseudocode, which appears to be a bizarre mix of C, Python and Java…)

  2. I was actually thinking in Perl when I made the system() calls. =P

  3. could just as easily have been C though… It makes me feel better about the world if I forget about people knowing Perl…

    ROFL @ q14… what does that make jays place though :P

    you managed to gloss over all the pre processing needed to use .hometheatresetup

    Congratulations Dave!

    When are we going to see some photos?

    I’m think I’m also in 14, but I think we’re in R14. How’d you calculate the Q?

  7. Robert

    Wow, q14, I just checked it out on the map…that’s so damn close. Well I’m green with envy, you travel one minute fourty to get in. I travel one hour fourty to get in. I like your location better. :)
