Delivered as promised, today is Tuesday, and you will find several new pictures uploaded. Only about half of the roll on the disposable camera I used came out. However, I got one excellent picture at the concert, so it was worth the money and effort.

I found another reason to loathe England tonight… They don’t have eggnog on this frozen rock! Grr! I can’t wait to leave this primitive consumer land for consumer paradise back in California.

I have not been doing much so far to prepare for exams, I’m going to start on that after I finish this update. I am also in high spirits regarding my degree. I have come across what I think will make a profound yet simple dissertation idea that will incorporate all my best theories about economics. I have run it by two professors both thought it was a good topic and of the right scope.

Today I received professional web designer training to work on my work’s domain. I will be using this site as a test bed for new ideas. If I can get the software I need, I will be re-launching this site in the next few months with a much more professional images and better navigation.

My xmas package has arrived, though I have yet to go retrieve it from the porters office since they are only open when I am at work. I’m going to get off early one day this week and get. At the moment, I plan to go to London from the 24-28 with my friend Ollie, so that will be fun.

I’m also using CoreFTP now instead of LeechFTP. I made the switch because Leech would get corrupted every now and again. So far Core has been rock solid, free, and loaded with cool features.

I also officially have a working cellphone. It's already come in handy a couple of times. Still not 100% sold on them, so not sure if I will buy one when I get back.

I finished reading, Catch 22 that book is worth every vowel of hype. It is a little hard to get into. However, it is very funny, is excellent social and war commentary. At the same time it is serious and graphic. I recommend it to anyone. I also love the fact it does explicitly say what "Catch 22" is.

No links today, my internet provider is sucking a little worse then usual tonight. I had no internet all weekend and everything on campus was closed including the library.

There is a 99% I was wrong about Saddam being in Russia. Capturing Saddam was good for the Iraqi people. I also was glad to read Kofi Anna calling for the creation of an independent Iraqi government quickly. This will not be a magic bullet by any stretch of the imagination though, and does not make the American people even 1% safer.

Goodbye, from tomorrow land...
