Welcome to the brand new Digital Phantasy

Posted Monday, June 27th 2005

Okay, so I was bored and redesigned the site completely. I now have more space to work with in the news area, as well as the content pages. I’m slowly working on converting the whole site, but I should have that done over the next few days. Hope everyone likes it, and comments and suggestions are more then welcome.

I’ve also updated my bio, so give that a read.

Saturday Morning Update

Posted Saturday, June 25th 2005

Just for the record, and to get it out of the way, Weird Al rules. It is a law of nature, and there is no going around it. Just accept it as one of those ultimate truths. Er.. Yeah.

So anyway, it is saturday morning indeed. I just had a shower, and I’m feeling remarkably well. I managed not to over-bake the small pies I had in the oven, like I did yesterday. So breakfast was good.

Good news! I am done with education for the summer. That’s right. I now hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science. Rock on. My viva was last friday, and it went well. My supervisor and the 2nd examiner were impressed with my work and although I was quite nervous, everything went nicely. That night I went to a rock bar, had a few beers and was in a celebratory mood.

I’ve done not much ever since. It’s summer, so I get to relax. I’m still in Greece waiting for my residence permit. As much as I do like Greece, Greek bueraucracy is hell. I’ve been waiting for the damn thing for almost 4 months now. They said I should get it by the end of June, so I’m crossing my fingers.

Last week I read Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons, and although it was not as entertaining as The Da Vinci Code, I’d still recommend it to anyone with some free time.

Thinking of doing some travelling this summer. I’ll see what happens.

Well, it’s wednesday, right?

Posted Wednesday, June 8th 2005

Yeah, it is wednesday. I’m in a pretty good, yet a bit odd mood. Not sure what exactly is going on, but I’m finally starting to ease up a little it. I’ve been really tense over the past few months. I guess it’s the stress of graduation, working on the dissertation and exams just pilling up, and it finally became a bit too much. Though, I submitted my dissertation, and took 2 of the 3 exams I have this semester. One exam left, which is on monday, and then the oral exam for the dissertation, which I’m sure will be a breeze. After that, I’m not sure. I’m too stressed and I need to relax. Quite a few people have told me that lately, including my brother, at his own wedding.

Last night I slept really good. I mean, really really good. I had not slept that good in quite a while. A friend was over, we were just sitting on the balcony, doing nothing, and she was just playing with my head. There was a bit of rain, a bit of wind, and it was just perfect. I was so relaxed, I almost fell asleep in her arms. It just felt so good.

Today I cleaned up my room. Well, not exactly cleaned, but it’s tidy now - I dusted, I threw out the trash and the empty beer bottles & cans.. Tomorrow morning I’ll vacuum. But otherwise, I’m proud of myself.
