silver Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 We had dirt and a stick.Mud and a stick in winter. My parents had a rock and a chisel I stubbed my toe and it still hurts like at least 3 hours later! Today I watched Spiceworld: The Movie and went with Rachel to buy a car I thought I'd stubbed my toes once - turned out to be broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzaboy Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hey all, seems like every post I make here begins with me apologising for not being around too much... See, they don't have wifi in Bunnings! So I've been working, and have been put on permanent part time. Which is awesometastical. They told me that I'm doing really well and fitting in good. I told them it's much nicer than at Maccas. They said that they like people from Maccas, because if they can survive working there, they can work anywhere! =P Been driving a fair bit, and now only have 10 hours to go!! Which brings me to my next exciting news: I purchased my first car yesterday! I'll admit, I've seen larger ride-on lawnmowers, but it's a car. It's a '95 Dihatsu Mira. Got it for $500 through a friend of a friend, needs new tyres, windscreen, battery and rego, which the parents will have to loan me money for, since I have 13 cents left in my bank account! lol According to Redbook, it does 100km on 5L of fuel. So I'm quite happy with that, being poor as I am. =P It is a little different to drive, since I've been driving the parents' new ute, and so it seems faster, and has a very little clutch in it, so I get the feeling I'll be stalling it quite a bit until I get used to it, haha. So... have I missed anything of great importance here? Yep, the prime minister made some stupid promise that all school kids would have access to a computer before he was voted in, so this is how he's doing it.... in NSW (starting last year), all year 9 kids will be given a laptop. By 2012, all kids from yr 9-12 will have a laptop. They technically don't own them yet, they will own them when they graduate from year 12. What I do is get them rset up for the kids and fix any minor software issues. I can't do anything difficult with them cause they have all sorts of firewalls and locked areas. Luckily for us, it hasn't had the same controversy as the insulation scheme and the BER/classroom buildings scheme... We were a bit more advanced... we got pencils and paper We got them at the end of yr11, and throughout yr12. We didn't get to keep them, though. Although, we had really crappy pink (there was some green and blue, but the vast majority were pink) eeePCs, featuring Ubuntu, so they were annoying enough, I doubt I'd want to keep it, lol! =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet-dreams Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I stubbed my toe and it still hurts like at least 3 hours later! Today I watched Spiceworld: The Movie and went with Rachel to buy a car Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are in that! Or so I've heard.. I haven't actually seen it, of course not! *cough* But seriously, I haven't. The HSC involves a lot of work. We got our actual exam timetables yesterday (scary!). And from what I could garner today, mine seems to be the worst of everybody in the year. I have five exams in one week, one each day of that week.

Although, we had really crappy pink (there was some green and blue, but the vast majority were pink) eeePCs, featuring Ubuntu, so they were annoying enough, I doubt I'd want to keep it, lol! =P Good work on getting permanent part time! I had a daihatsu as my first car, mine was a handvan... They are awesome on petrol and if your dad is up for it, find another car the same age/model and use it as a spare parts car. Mine was near impossible to find parts for, and we found an unregistered car and pulled parts off it when I needed it. I sold it to dad's cousin 5 years ago, and he and my cousin used to drive it around town for work and they both thought it was awesome! Dad's cousin got it for his son, who used to drive it 1 1/2 hrs away to Dubbo all the time, then he sold it to one of his cousins. It's still going strong, it now has chequerplate on the inside, a stereo and a massive big subwoofer in it, and the cousin washes it every weekend! The laptops we have are the Lenovo IdeaPad S10e, this year's ones are blue, and last year's were red. I know the teacher's ones are black and the TSO ones are supposed to be black as well but they're taking so long to make so I think we might be getting blue ones . Not sure if we get to keep them, though... These ones have over $1000 worth of software on them, and this is what they have on them: Windows 7 Adobe Photoshop Elements Adobe Premiere Elements Adobe Acrobat Professional Extended Adobe Flash Professional Adobe Dreamweaver Adobe Fireworks Adobe Contribute Adobe Captivate Microsoft Word Microsoft Excel Microsoft Publisher Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft OneNote Microsoft Access Audacity Smart Notebook 10 Smart Recorder Smart Video Player ActivStudio Viewer Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2009 Microsoft Maths GeoGebra WinKMT Chess Periodic Table Periodic Table Quiz Earths Core LenMus Phonascus MuseScore Notation Player Google SketchUp 7 ArtRage 2 Starter Edition Mind Mapping: Freemind Group polling and response: Student Response Network Flowchart diagrams: Dia Apple iTunes Windows Media Player Phew! I think QLD DET skimped well and truly. I can't believe I'm saying this, but NSW DET actually did really well with this deal. The HSC involves a lot of work. We got our actual exam timetables yesterday (scary!). And from what I could garner today, mine seems to be the worst of everybody in the year.

Oakie Doke Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I thought I'd stubbed my toes once - turned out to be broken Yes, well I keep complaining about it, and people keep telling me that, but since there's generally nothing you can do about that anyway, I'd rather not know Although, I'd rather think it seems most of the pain now is centred around my big toe nail, and I might wonder if there is a big bruise under it or something. Not that I can see, since I'd just painted my nails bright red and was running up the stairs to put the nail polish away in the ad break when I stubbed my toe in the first place Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are in that! Or so I've heard.. I haven't actually seen it, of course not! *cough* But seriously, I haven't. The HSC involves a lot of work. We got our actual exam timetables yesterday (scary!). And from what I could garner today, mine seems to be the worst of everybody in the year. I have five exams in one week, one each day of that week. Yes, yes they were Haha, well done, you won the lucky dip, good luck! Congratulations on the car and work EJ! Rachel was just telling me her first car was a little daihatsu, and she drove it through a flooded river with water gushing in through the door-seals and it didn't even break down The other team forfieted at soccer today so we won! 2-0!!! And we still got to play a scratch match against another team, which was surprisingly fun without the stress of worrying too about how much we are losing by. Actually, we did pretty good!

They don't often break down... Is there actually any memory left for the students to do any work? Yeah, they have 2 GB of RAM and 160GB hard drive Besides, they have 2 GB of space to store stuff on the server and are also encouraged to store stuff on a thumbdrive...
