Happy Halloween…kind of

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Happy Halloween everyone. There. Now that that is out of the way we can move on to the "kind of", which roughly translates as "something completely un-halloween related". Music!\* \* That was the "something completely un-hallowe'en related", not just a random outburst - although I'm told that I am quite prone to them. ...

James Baker – est. 4th November 1988

Monday, October 30th, 2006

...and for those of you who are good at maths and fairly sharp minded, you'll realise that makes it my 18th birthday this Saturday! Anyway, I thought I'd just set the record straight and say that I'm not having an 18th Birthday party. I thought about having one, but I wanted ...

Breaking 2000

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

There are now over 2000 smilies catalogued in The Smile Project! 2067 to be exact (spread across 35 different categories). Now there should never be an excuse for not having that smiley you need! From to , chances are he smiley for you is in there somewhere! And remember, if you ...

A Kind Of Magic

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Well, got back from London about 3 hours ago (after incredibly slow train journey due to someone being killed on a railway track somewhere) after 3 days in London as a kind of 18th Birthday present. The main reason we went was to see We Will Rock You; which... well, ...

Capital Time

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

I'm off to London tomorrow for a few days as a kind of 18th birthday present (not long now, WOO! \*ahem\*). We're leaving by train around 11 tomorrow. Not sure what we're gonna do during the day, but we're going to see We Will Rock You in the evening. I've wanted ...

DIY

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Don't you just love DIY? Don't you just hate DIY? I've spent about 4 hours yesterday evening and this morning putting together some cupboard things from Ikea. The instructions they give you are rubbish. Looks very informative and simple with all the diagrams and stuff, and to start with it is. ...

IM Display Names

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Don't you just love using witty comments and sayings in your IM Display Names. I know I do when I don't have anything important to say. I try to use my own ones, or use quotes of other people (Linus Torvalds is a good one to quote, as is Woody ...

History Matters

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Came across this on the TGN 3 forum. It's a scheme to try and capture a snapshot of life today by getting everyone to post a blog about their day on the History Matters website. A pretty neat idea, and it only takes 10-15 minutes to do. Once done, all ...

Are We There Yet?

Monday, October 16th, 2006

We made scale models of the Solar System in Physics today. Yes, I know that playing with plasticine doesn't really seem like A2 physics, but I can assure you now that it was very taxing. Honest. I didn't have Chemistry this afternoon, because our teacher was involved in some focus day ...

I’m A Genius!

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

According to this intelligence test anyway. You have to work out what the letters stand for, and if you get more than 19 (out of 33) you're allegedly a genius. I'm on 29. But there are 4 left that I haven't got yet. Can you work out what they are? (Without cheating ...
