Compassionate Leave

I’m on the SkyBus to the airport. Sitting on floor with my back against someones suitcase. Why am I doing this? My Mum is about to go under the knife, she has a 7cm aneurysm sticking out of her heart that has plans to end her.
Of course the surgery comes with a warning too. Years of smoking have left her with lungs 20 years older than the rest of her body. This could cause complications.
So I’m hunkered down on the floor of a SkyBus heading back to Sydney.

w00t! I’m bloggin’ on the go.

My Masters Experience

I’m in my second week of my Masters in Computer Science (Internet and Web Computing) at RMIT and I’v settled down into the two subjects I’ll be doing this semester.

Java for Programmers and Web Programming.

I’m not really enjoying the Web Programming yet, it is still a little too basic for me.

Java is looking like it will realy challenge me.

More later.

I know, I know… I’ve been very slack in letting you all know what has been happening. Truth is I’ve been a bit busy.

When last we spoke, I had just received an email from my Dad and I was sending him one. He had asked me to call him and I really wasn’t sure I was emotionally up to it. That all changed on Thursday. I plucked up the courage and picked up the phone.

I was really worried that we would have nothing to talk about, nothing in common. Well boy was I wrong!

Once we got over the tears and the Oh my lords, we just talked.

My Dad and I have quite a bit in common, We both love Sci-Fi, gadgets and tech toys. We have both served in the military, he was stationed in Belfast, Hong Kong and Germany to name a few. His first computer was an Altair. He had a C64 then an AT.

All the geek talk was awesome, but above all I realised I have a father that never stopped loving me. That still loves my Mother. That loves me without condition or reservation. It is an unusual feeling. I could get used to it.

Peace
