Well, today I went into the UniSA City West campus. I must say it was a complete waste of time and the information session was useless. StudentID card maker thing was broken so I have to go in some other day. The enrol system wasn’t fully working either so I went home and enrolled online. After messing around with my timetable a lot I came up with something reasonable, but not exactly what I wanted. Monday requires me to go to City West an IT course. Tuesday and Wednesday is at Magill which is good, but unfortunatley some Wednesday afternoons I have to go all the way to Mawson Lakes and on Thursday I have to go to Mawson Lakes for Law.

About 2 weeks ago I bought a Logitech MX5000 Cordless Desktop as part of Project Halcyon’s Phase 2. It is, the biggest heap of shit I have ever used in my life. The keyboard looks flashy mainly because it comes with an LCD that changes each time someone signs into MSN or my Winamp song changes. However, each time this happens, it causes the keyboard to lag. Even if the song changes the keyboard still lags, so if I type “hello” I end up with “hhhello”. It comes with the Bluetooth version of the MX1000 which works slightly better than the keyboard, however, I think the bluetooth adaptor is faulty so its going back for a replacement in a couple of days.

Tech news I suppose has been reasonably minimal, the only thing that has really caught my eye is the public release of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2. I’ve installed it, seems to work well and its reasonably fast. It adds a couple of new features but since Firefox has extentions I’m gonna stick with that for now. You can download IE7 B2 (build 7.0.5296.0) from the Microsoft site.
