After having to wake up at 6:30am(!) to get to the morning graduation ceremony at the Festival Theatre, I'm now back home. Everything went fine until it started raining on the garden party just after 4pm (which we entered from the wrong side...). I now have my degree certificate and a free alumni pin.
The waiting for the results is finally over... I'll graduate with a First-Class Honours degree in Computer Science :)
This is great news :) FFII has an explanation.
Hello 3am. By using this list of changes I now have an Atom 1.0 feed!
It's really annoying that after being awake for over 35 hours that I still can't get to sleep.

I was watching K-PAX earlier (on More4), and the theory offered at the end was quite disturbing: "The universe is expanding and contracting over and over, making time go forwards and backwards, so that every mistake we make in our lives is a mistake we'll have to repeat every time the universe expands again. Over and over and over and over."
If the tedious eternity of immortality seems awful, what about repeating whatever the current moment is over and over again forever? :(
