On Monday Rob & I presented our final year project to the staff and fellow students. We spent half of Sunday – when not crashing the plane – reviewing & rehearsing the presentation. I wasn’t very confident; it would have been nicer to have the presentation ready a week ago, so we could let it… Read more
Last Sunday Rob & I organised to head out and go flying one more time before our presentation. We had intended on flying at uni, above the sports grounds, as we usually do. However, upon arriving we found that there were two (or was it three?) cricket matches going, a baseball game, and various other… Read more

When I rang FedEx again and told them this, they were pretty adamant that it didn’t end up back at them; they think Australia Post has shipped it back to the U.S. Now, I know I’m not studying… Read more
Well, FedEx have lost my package. Hooray, and surprise surprise. Anyway, their “internal investigations” division is on it. This is pretty much what happened to the last package I was sent through them, so I’m not too perturbed… it’ll turn up, in Honolulu or somesuch. What’s most annoying is that officially the package was delivered… Read more
