Outages, smoke and timetables

[maharetr]

The Great LiveJournal Outage of 2005 During the outage I stopped irritating my carpal tunnel syndrome. What did you do? Brought to you by geek-foo

Saw an icon a couple of days ago: "I survived the LJ outage of 05! I whined, a lot, but I survived"

In other random stuff: I've enroled in the Graduate Diploma (which is actually deeply comforting, like, here's what I'm doing for the next year) and went online to sign up for tutes today. Sign up opening has been delayed again, which is actually fine because I have a timetable clash.

Timetable clashes were a pretty normal state of affairs in the BA (god, don't I sound worldly. *snort*) lots of different unit combinations, major streams, minor streams etc etc. In the Grad Dip, however, there are no choices for anyone -- you must do the eight set units over the two semesters. Everyone in this particular course is doing the same thing and yet there's this timetable clash. ::boggles::

The smell of smoke is quite strong here (at home) which is rather disconcerting. I woke up with my eyes stinging and they still sting. Nothing like Zebra is currently going through I know, but in my cocooned little world of total control over the/my environment, it's a bit of a wake-up call.
