Saved up boredom

You can blame Kate for this. 🙂 Hopefully my answers won’t involve tickling at Warped on Monday… 1. Reception teacher’s name: Mrs Hunt 2. Last person you kissed: can’t remember 3. Last word you said: Damn 4. Last song you sang: You’ve Got The Music In You—New Radicals 5. Last person you hugged: probably Jennie […]

Moving house

I can’t believe this has crept up on me so quickly, but it’s that time of year again when I have to start looking for somewhere to live for the next academic year. I was planning to stay at my current abode, but that’s no longer an option because someone is moving out and the […]

Team America and Warped

A group of us from Warped (Cez, David, Kate, Lizzy, Ed, Rachel and I) went to see Team America last night—for free as well because Rachel works at The Filmworks. 🙂 Reactions to the film were a bit mixed, I got the feeling that most people didn’t find it all that brilliant. On the other […]

Trackback support implemented

After spending half the afternoon debugging what turned out to be two very simple problems (a PHP parse error and a MySQL “wrong field name” mistake), I’ve finally managed to implement incoming trackback support on my blog. For those of you who don’t blog or who don’t get excited by new ways of doing things, […]

The old design looked quite nice but it got a bit wide on large resolutions (anything from 1024×768 upwards really) so a lot of paragraphs consisted of one or two lines and were getting a bit difficult to read. The site […]

Exams finally over

I had my last exam (Imperative programming with C and C++) yesterday afternoon, so now I’m free of the shadow of tests that’s been haunting me for the last fortnight. Hurrah! The C/C++ exam went okay as well, although I wasn’t too worried about it anyway because it’s probably the module that I’m most confident […]

Exam and new site ideas

Today’s exam (implementation and power of computer languages) was quite possibly the worse experience since taking Continuous Mathematics last year. I just had a total mind blank when I was looking at the questions, despite the fact that one of them was similar to a lab exercise that I got good marks on. I don’t […]

Places I’d like to visit

Kate got me thinking about travelling with this LJ post, so here’s the list of places I’d like to visit before I’m say… 30: Empire State Building (would love to take a picture from the top) Great Wall of China Great Pyramid of Giza Statue of Liberty Eiffel Tower (I’ve seen it, but not been […]
