    Is anticipation misty?
    Can you see forever?
    Does something wonderful wait -
    . . . just a little further?

    I wait for news -
    . . . anticipation waits for me.
    How do I go there?
    Can you please tell me?


    Greetings,
    Enter the year two thousand, and truly I've not a lot to say about it. After fours years of saying I want a job in a small company, I'm now thinking about long term employment at Monash. Doing undergrad, I kept hearing about the things my department was doing in robotics, and I decided I wasn't interested.

    So perhaps you won't be surprised that I'm a year and a half into a masters project using ultrasound for robot navigation, and doing tutoring work this semester.

    • Who is Andrew anyway?
    • Fiction Writing - this stuff is all really old... :)
    • Puns - mostly not offensive.
    • Animals - the old game. I just got this going, and I don't know if it's stable yet.


    "Yet in my youth I was second best in my school at cross-country running. Dare I say I even enjoyed it, not the rigmarole of carrying a sports bag, hanging into togs in front of strangers or wearing abysmal vests, but the actual running. Years later, I was told that during a long run your brain actually produces a natural heroin, thus giving you a high as you run. If only my teacher had told me this then I could have saved myself a lot of sweating and just gone out and scored some smack. Mind you, I did have my suspicions, as the school's best runner was a junkie going on cold turkey. I always thought it odd that he laughed uncontrollably when the starting gun was fired."
