A good lecture last night; looks like an interesting subject, and one that takes people, that often neglected component, into consideration as much as it does systems. A very ‘out there’ and entertaining subject co-ordinator gave the first lecture: an introduction as well as an overview of the first assignment [where an audible sigh [...]
First lecture and my first elective — Advanced Project Management — of Spring Semester 2008 survived. Happily, we have the same lecturer we had for core subject Project Management which I did in Autumn [and somehow scored a High Distinction -- my expectations aren't up there this semester!] He is rather entertaining, well-informed [...]
Troparion – Tone 3:
Holy Passion-bearer and healer Panteleimon,
entreat the merciful God,
to grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.
Kontakion – Tone 5:
You emulated the Merciful One,
and received from Him the grace of healing,
Passion-bearer and healer Panteleimon;
by your prayers, heal our spiritual diseases
and continually drive away the temptations of the enemy
from those who cry out in faith “Save [...]
Thanks Miss Lisa and Ishmael: all is fine — just a bit busy.
Sunday a friend came along to my church; she, being musically talented in singing and piano playing, seemed rather fascinated by the chanting of our parish, particularly the chanting while reading the Epistle and Gospel of the day. She has [...]

While we are unsure of when he was born, he was born in what is now Qatar. He and his brother entered a monastery at a young age. After some time there, and as his fame as teacher spread, he was [...]

The Stations of the Cross was far more moving, and challenging, then I had thought it would be. Seeing [...]
A week of nice results: we came first at trivia after a number of weeks at second — or worse. We had an absolutely fantastic second round [35 points out of 40: our best second round ever], and managed to hold it over the third round — my knowledge of the CDs of Ms [...]
I managed 87, High Distinction, for my Project Management subject last semester: I’m rather chuffed.
Uni starts again in two weeks. I will attempt to do two subjects in Spring Semester: the core subject Systems Quality Management and the elective Advanced Project Management [payment will be covered by the Government under the HECS-HELP system[*]]. That [...]
John continues his travelogue, with fascinating descriptions and glorious photographs of his time in Syria and Jordan.
I’ve seen two [rather large] groups of World Youth Day pilgrims out here in the wild west of Sydney over the past few days. It does make me feel some joy: how wonderful to see so many people, from such a wide variety of places, all gathered here in the name of Christ. [...]
