Still looking for a new template..

Remember a few weeks ago i was looking for a template? Well i am still looking lol. I just cant seem to find one that i like or that looks easy for me to update and edit, i searched around quite a bit and found a couple that started to look okay but then after i looked at the code for the page i soon changed my mind lol. I`ll have another look in a few minutes though :-)

I just finished emailing a few of my students here, i have a backlog of ones to reply to and just never seem to have the time at the moment. but i got a few done so thats good and maybe they will reply quickly or not, i dont know but they always have to wait for me to get moving ;-) I need to get a computer in my house so that i can get online and send emails when ever i want to at night but at this moment in time i need to get all of my furniture sorted out first and then i`ll get a tv or computer to keep me amused. All work and no play right? hahaha!!!

Okay off searching again here :-)

Finally got an eye test!!

Yes its true, i finally got an eye test after two weeks of searching for a place to have it done. Tomorrow i will be the proud owner of a new set of glasses at last :-). Total cost less that R$200 too which i guess isnt too bad and they let me split all the stuff into two payments too. The optician told me that i am a perfect candidate for laser treatment for my eyesight and that i wouldnt have to use glasses anymore. Something to think about for the future i think there..

Anyway today is good, sun, glasses, did i mention my glasses? hahaha!!! I dont have to teach that nightmare TN9 class either as their teacher is back this afternoon. I really am getting tired of subbing that group now so it`ll be any excuse i can think of to not teach them lol. Let someone else suffer for a bit right?

Friday i think will be a day at Robertas farm as i havent been there for a while so i am hoping that the weather is going to stay fine the next couple of days or so. I must get around to taking some photos of this place so i can post them here :-)

Right time to check emails hahaha!!!

ELCOMSOFT: Advanced eBook Processing Software
"Looking back with 20/20, I wish that we could have had better communication with ElcomSoft, Dmitry Sklyarov and the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) before the whole thing went public. I'm sorry that we weren't able to do that, because I think we could have resolved a lot of the issues.

Bruce Chizen, CEO of Adobe Systems Inc"

Hopefully this type of thing wont happen again,some of this software people create for free is actually good stuff and also to try to prosecute a person for things that his company does is just plain crazy!!!
