Another 382 lecture, nothing terribly exciting, mostly business centred stuff, not too bad though (not my favourite field).
Had an idea today of what I might be able to focus on in this subject. I haven't re-read the criteria yet to understand it better, so I don't know if this will suit, but... I once had planned to write a webapp to allow Java students to learn and interact together, through a number of forms (wiki philosophy), primarily through the use of problems (questions) that students can attempt, and post their answers online to be "marked" and critiqued by other students. This is not so much conforming to a business model, more a non-profit organisation or community. Again, I don't know if it will fit the criteria, but I'll check over the next few days.
Another thought, as an application of the XML tutorials, I may be able to write an interface in ZOPE on the ISPG server to show this blog, via RSS (or other) from the ZOPE site. Learn about XML, learn about ZOPE, and have a good excuse to play with python (I looooove python, but rarely have time or reason to use it)

Bought text books today, the one for my distance subject (262, Operating systems) is on back-order, and isn't expected for at least a month. Shame, was looking forward to getting my hands dirty in that subject. I'll have to see if the library has a copy, and chase up the recommended resources. There should be plenty of online resources too.

Was supposed to take the bass back today, couldn't find dave tonight, so I'll take it back tomorrow (after another quick play :D ).
Found a page providing a nice definition of "progressive rock". It has a list of progressive metal bands, many of which I'm not familiar with, so I have found myself some research to do. Pain of Salvation and Opeth (who I saw last year in Melbourne) are big favourites, also know tool, but the rest are largely unfamiliar. Its always fun to explore.
