I didn't mention this before but I'm one of 5 STs build a nWoD Mage the Awakening LARP for Auckland. I'm Nefandi ST - yes, Nefandi is a nickname for Scelesti, no we aren't sticking to the established story. It's a four faction game - Pentacle, Seers, Banishers, and Nefandi, all modified slightly or with groups that are prone to cooperation for the greater good. Should be loltastic.

I am quite annoyed that PHP doesn't allow for true OO programming. I can't even delare alternate method signatures! One constructor per class only! Dear God, whatever will I do?!

Final exam for the year tomorrow, Computer Architecture, 3 hours instead of the typical 2 hours for CompSci, and with a one A4 page, double-sided, hand written note sheet allowed. Thankfully my previous exams on Data Communications and Operating Systems have given me insight in to parallel systems and OS/Architecture interaction respectively. Then it's two months off until Summer School when I investigate taking up an English degree to follow on from CompSci, which I HOPE to finish next semester.
And, perhaps more importantly, I can finish Dragon Age, start KotOR II, and burn through my Blood Bowl campaign. Huzzah for gaming time.

So despite all the shiney gubbinz and dvds around yesterday, I managed to restrain myself quite well and went only 200% over my tiny budget to purchase the Ergo Proxy collection. Came oh so close to getting Black Lagoon as well, but that'd make my ISP and web hosting provider quite angry with me, I imagine.

So been digging for music;
Deathstars - Gothy industrial, pretty good if you're in to that sort of big drums, Type O Negative meets Manson style.
Samael - Fucking bad ass Industrial/Black.
Shadow's Fall - Their new album, Retribution, is quite fucking good.
Scar Symmetry - New vocalists, new album, and it's growing on me despite the clean vocals not having the same level of impact as they did with Alvestam in the band.
Dream Theater - I don't generally do Progressive, but I gave it a shot, along with giving Opeth another try, and I'm quite pleased.
Any other suggestions?
That is all.

Good God, C is a truly horrendous language to try and program in when you've used Java/C#/C++/PHP (you know, ones that are somewhat nice) for the past year and a bit.

Things that have been happening;
Exam season. First one is tomorrow morning. It's Compsci 220, which may as well be called "Algorithm Analysis - It's gonna fuck you up real good". I'm going to fail the paper regardless of how well I do in the exam (I failed to hand in 2/3 assignments due to illness, and I need to pass the assignments overall). Still, gonna learn what I can and sit the exam to get a D and not another DNC (though I already have 9 thanks to fucking around 8 years ago).
To further compound the issue, I am ill. It started off as what I thought was a cold and now, 8 days fucking later, has degenerated in to intense congestion, restricted breathing, and heavy coughing bursts. I'm inclined towards bronchitis of some form at this stage (I've had it numerous times in the past) and I may be a little asthmatic given some events in my past, not to mention my failed genetics. So I can't think overly straight right now either.
The good news is that the two exams I DO give a shit about (CS 373 - Graphics and Image Processing, and Physics 140 - Digital Fundamentals, which I need for next semester) are both going fine. I need something stupid like 23% to pass Physics, which I'll get through knowledge of binary alone. CS 373 I sit on 22.51% completed out of a possible 32.5%, still awaiting 12.5% worth of rather excellent assignment working that I've done to come in. Should be looking at needing only 20% or less to pass the paper. And the third stage one is entirely multichoice, hurrah!

I do believe I am somewhat in love with Visual Studio.

Image processing... is evil. Truly evil. I need to implement a GUI that will load and save images. I then need to apply either filters, histograms, and crap like that. It wouldn't be so bad if only I could get past the bloody GUI crap. I can build them in Java, but we need to use either C, C++, or C#. My lecturer, he needs murdering.

Most cops want drinking age raised
Old enough to fight for your nation.
Old enough to vote for your leaders.
Old enough to uphold your law.
Old enough to be tried as an adult.
Old enough to marry.
Not old enough to drink.
Non-formal logical fail.

Just so y'all know, I totally wrote off my car last week. It was strangely exhilirating.
Anyway, been music hunting again, and damn it's getting hard. I'm trying to find more melodic metal. Scar Symmetry is my latest addition, but despite digging I'm coming up with nothing now. Hell, the last groups I really found before this were Mnemic and Katatonia some 12-15 months ago. There are too many super-fast "scream like you lost a pair" groups out there. I'm not after fast, I'm just after good. It probably doesn't help that I really do like my grinding rhythm lines. It's really fucking annoying.
