Great, you know what, my life sucks. I've become decidedly more uninteresting since my last post. And the girl I mentioned last time... Well she dumped me!! ?? Not just my girlfriend, not just any old girl either, my best friend, and love of my life - dumped me! How rotten is that? No 'I have a problem with this or that, let's sort it out', nothing like that, just a straight and simple text, out

Ok, I haven't posted on here in a LONG time, but I've got this long list of things I've been meaning to post about... So here goes, I'm making a start! This time it's gonna be about certain important aspects of my life known as 'failures to ever attract anybody'... Nah it's not, it's gonna be about my (not so new now) girlfriend! :P (well, she pestered...)Remember my long ranting posts about

OK, I know I haven't updated in a LONG LONG time! But I've been really busy with work (A-levels mainly) so I really haven't had the time recently! I have so much to write about, and so much to say, but I can't say it even now cause I'm supposed to be going away over the weekend and I need to pack! :/ Anyhow, just so that you know that I'm not entirely dead, and HOPEFULLY (fingers crossed) I'll

Just as I said, been kept bloomin busy at college, got ditched by my classical guitar teacher (tis alright, I want to play electric guitar anyway!), and discovered (again) how boring my life actually is at college - after being on holiday again :( ...I also have an INCREDIBLY large HOLE in my pocket after I hacked my phone and erm... kinda broke it! :/ - right after I'd gone shopping with my

I heard "The Open Door" by Evanescence for the first time the other day and thought I'd write a little review type thing here on my blog. This is my first music review ever, so if it sounds stupid, go away and DIE!Yes, I know the album has been out for over a year now, but in the absence of any NEW albums by any bands I listen to (most of them are scheduled for around March this year), and

I've just got back from Maidenhead this weekend! (yet another youth event organised by my church) It was GREAT!! I met a cute/evil little emo girl/guy/being there who I think might even be more evil than I am :) :) ... -you know who you are!- Still, it was great fun, even apart from that! ;) *nasty grin* (Actually, I might/would have asked her/it out, but it already had a boyfriend ... plus it

I'm beginning to wonder whether it was actually a good idea at all to put up this blog!? I mean, its useful when I want to write some stuff or I'm bored, but right now, my life is not that empty and I'm finding it hard to keep updating it! I also decided that I want to become a guitarist, so I shouldn't actually be on my computer at all, but should be practicing in my spare time! This is the main

You thought I was dead and gone didn't you? You thought I'd forgotten all about my blog right? You thought that I was SO busy with GIRLS, I'd forgotten to keep you all updated on my otherwise SAD and BORING life! HAHAHA... The day!!... So if I wasn't too busy with girls, what have I been doing? To be honest, I'm not 100% sure... Losing my mind probably comes in to it somewhere though! (and hence

Well, I thought I'd post something useful on here for once. I finally fixed the reeeally slow print dialog that pops up in KDE! (+other places) Basically, I found out long ago that if you set it to print through the 'Generic LPD printing system' it would load spiffingly fast, but if it was set to CUPS (which I prefer, due to the better drivers) it would take several minutes. Well, I left it on '

Well, that was pretty painless! The fonts in firefox are still different, (better!) but at least the anti-aliasing has come back! Everything else seems fine at the moment, and surprisingly enough, I haven't had to recompile any programs or drivers except the driver for my graphics card (NVIDIA). Actually, the whole system feels about twice as fast as it was before! I'm not sure if this is just

With the release of Mandriva 2008.0, I've decided to do a system upgrade - that means updating everything, including the kernel and (worryingly) glibc. So far it's been going alright, I very stupidly forgot to download an iso of the new release beforehand, so if anything goes wrong and I can't connect to the internet, I'm screwed lol! ;) Actually, I'm downloading a torrent at the same time so

Well - I said I'd post some screenies at a later date - I've actually done a tiny bit more work on ku since last month (although not as much as when I'm on holiday from college) - I actually haven't got very long to write this post as I'm wanted off the internet. So here's a quick screenie and description - other than this, I have to spend my free time over this weekend practicing for a piano

Well, I've started my second year at college (and have been very busy anyway over the past month and a half) so I've not got time for a long update - just thought I'd better post something so you all know that I'm still alive and kicking lol!!Regarding my programming projects, I've ported most of my old sudoku solver out of Blender and into the wxPython UI library.

Right, well, as I've been feeling ill and stuck indoors bored, I decided to look through some of the many odd files saved on my desktop (mostly saved there because there was no better place for them ;) - Anyway, I came across some old 'HOW-TO' documents that I wrote about various things. I don't really want these on my desktop and as yesterdays post was so short (and contained nothing interesting

Well - basically, there's next to no news this time as I have been away for the past week on a youth camp organized by (some of) the christadelphians in east anglia. (no, I don't live anywhere near east anglia but it's nice to get away and I get to see some mates that I wouldn't see otherwise!)Other than that, I've been feeling pretty ill since I got back on Saturday (gone down with a cold) and

Well - yet another delayed update - not a long one this time as I can't spend too long on the internet as it's getting late! I've mainly spent last week either asleep, or chatting to freinds over msn lol... Sunday was good though - I saw a m8 before church and we sat around and had a meal! (Obviously that was excellent in my opinion - lazy person that I am ;) I said that I'd been 'mostly'

Here are some screenies of my lastest project - I eventually decided to call it afloat, as a play on the name of the original program it was based on, adrift, that you can get (for windows only) -here-. The screenshots show the default startup view shown on first run, a view reminicient of adrift, a horizontally tiled view that is very useful on a widescreen display like mine, and two alternative

Well, so far, I've slept in for most of the week and only really got up for visitors/food lol. I am tidying my room up bit by bit though so hopefully, within another week of picking up scrawled peices of paper and throwing out books, I should be able to sort out what I'm meant to be doing over the summer, what has to be done over the summer, and what I'm actually going to be doing over the summer

TODAY was officially, the last day of college this year! I've got two months ahead of me to complete my projects and generally laze around. (excluding the coursework I have to have done for next year) It has been a fun year at college and I'm looking forward to next year as well - although I'm obviously looking forward to the summer much more hehe...

Phew - although I've got all my exams over with for this year, I'm still pretty busy with all the things that needed to be done while I was busy with exams but were put on hold. Additionally, I'm getting loads of last minute homeworks from college that need to be done before the summer holidays. On the plus side - although I was a bit late, I ebayed a ticket to go and see Metallica play live in

Busy busy busy - loads of maths exams - not much time to do anything in. This has been my week and the pace looks set for next week as well. On the plus, I've decided to make the commitment and get baptised (yes - full immersion) into the christadelphian faith (I was brought up in it, have always believed it and it was only a matter of time) - that should take place next week as well God willing.

Wow! I don't use the internet for two weeks and already there's been two release candidates of Blender 2.44 which now has subsurface scattering built in to the material options buttons and should be totally 64 bits safe!

I just got back from a weekend away at an event organized for the young people by my church (I'm a christadelphian btw!). I didn't get very far gal-wise as usual though never mind about that.

I've been meaning to put up a blog for ages now but never could seem to find the time - now it's here, I'm almost wondering what to fill it with though I'm sure I'll find something.
