I’ve been worrying about work and jobs for a while, but with several people I know talking about it a fair amount it’s started to move gradually to the front of my mind. I keep getting asked what I’m going to do when I graduate and the problem is that I still have absolutely no […]
Fear of Girls
Fear of Girls on Google Video. This is absolutely hilarious, although some of the jokes (e.g. “You want mercy?! I am CHAOTIC NEUTRAL!”) require a basic understanding of Dungeons and Dragons in order to reach their full potential for mirth. Before anyone comments, we are nothing like as bad as that when roleplaying. 🙂
Shattered
The last few days have been pretty hectic, exams are still going (one tomorrow morning and another on Tuesday). Friday featured a horrible databases exam in the afternoon, but I’ll reflect on that once all the exams are out of the way. After the exam I went to see Fun with Dick and Jane with […]
Stand up and be counted
Today’s inspiration, via Start-Up Guide: If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. Thomas J. Watson (Founder of IBM)
I want to be a Broadway producer
New Year’s Eve Last week’s events were a bit less hectic than 2004’s version, although I think that was down in part to me not having to worry about getting the house ready and having various (non-)alcoholic beverages available for consumption. The evening started off with most of the remaining members of Warped heading off […]
New Year’s Resolutions
I don’t usually make New Year’s resolutions, mainly because I can rarely think of something worthwhile to aim for that I’m not already working on, but also because I doubt I’ll stick to the goals I set. This year I’ve decided to give it a go though, so here are my resolutions/goals for 2006: Have […]
CV feedback
I’ve been working on my CV on and off for a couple of months now – I realised it was out of date when I applied for the job at IPEC and fortunately they didn’t look too closely at it because the last thing on it at the time was from 2004. At the moment […]
Doctor Who tonight
Just a quick reminder to everyone that Doctor Who returns to our screens, at least in the UK, at 7pm tonight on BBC One. I’ve also resurrected my Doctor Who blog, Shada, where I will be posting reviews of the new episodes until my new science fiction site is ready to be launched. Update: Thanks […]
Cracking on over Christmas
University work I’ve already started working on university stuff, mostly because I went back to my flat yesterday morning and picked up most of the stuff. Revision is coming along slowly, and I’ve started writing some of my report for my third year project, although I need to fetch the commented version of my project […]
Curry, aikido and cybergothness
Warped Christmas Curry Went for a curry with Warped on Monday night, although turnout was fairly poor with only Lucy, Justine and Graham managing to make it – the other students seem to have gone home for Christmas already. We ended up going to Hanaan at Justine’s bequest (I had arranged for us to go […]
