Well, for some reason I'm still not sleeping. I missed college yesterday and slept till about 2. then i still couldn't sleep till about 6am, so I slept till 5 today.

Qt's pretty sweet.
Changed E themes (as if that interests you).

and learned that searching for "LaTeX" on google with a lecturer looking over your shoulder doesnt always make them think you're working ;-)

I've been messing with C++ (not very much, just having a poke about) and I went back to using 2.4.0-test kernels, oh, and i installed Debian, and learned Perl, and other stuff I've forgot.

Ah, heres another one, I discovered how much PDQ rocks, that Mozilla became useable while I wasnt looking, that the start of the GTK+ bindings for Ferite are sweet, and that when food packaging says to pierce the film before putting it in the microwave, it means it ( I think theres still some little bits of chilli stuck to the ceiling of the microwave that wont come off)

And in the last few hours of yesterday (and the first few hours of today), I started on a thumbnail view.
