how to rule the universe in 21 days

Nothing to see here

It's been a while since I've posted. Every once in a while I'll think of something I want to write about, but life gets in the way and by the time I have some time, I've forgotten about it. At any rate life has been fairly busy recently, I've completed one of my main things, and made some important decisions about up and coming things. Hopefully this means that my direction for the next year or so is set now, I've made my rocketship and now I've got to fly it. And well, if the rocketship gets shot down by aliens, well, then I'll just have too build another one and fly, fly again.

In a while I'm going to be heading over to see an interesting pitching competition where teams will be pitching their business ideas before prominent venture capitalists in a bid to get funding for the companies. Last years pitches were pretty entertaining. There was one pitch for anti anti spam software, that would help spammers get their message out by detecting anti spam software (including pop up blockers etc) and disable them. Not an idea likely to be voted most popular, but pretty creative. I haven't been involved in the organisation this year so I have no idea what sort of things will come up.

Before I leave I'm going to be talking with a potential teammate for my next project. This guy is really good at what he does, and should be an asset to the team, although technically we dont need particularly specific skills for the project. But more than u need is always good, I'm hoping he'll have some innovative ideas to push this thing along. If he's definitely in then I will spend the next couple of months laying down the groundwork in preparation for when the rest of my teammates finish their coursework (I've been lucky enough to complete mine way ahead of time).

Anyway all of the above is probably gibberish to everyone other than myself, so in other news the weather here has been pretty good recently, nice, sunny and warm. In fact, a little too hot but never mind. Everyone is out and about, even though most of the students are having exams, at least they get to study in the gardens. It's amazing the difference a bit of sun makes in this country. Back home we take it for granted... most days its sunny. But over here, when the sun comes out people genuinely seem to feel happier. Things look nicer. Birds sing more. People are more active. All until it rains again the next day.

It'll be nice when the weather does finally settle down into proper summer mode, because at the moment no one knows what to wear. Either you dress up and face the prospect of roasting in your own jacket, or you go out in a t-shirt and risk getting frostbite and drenched in freezing rain.

Anyway time to go now, got to talk to that guy.
