A Lack of Updates

Yeah, I know I have kindof been neglecting this website somewhat at the moment. But, this is because I have been quite busy. For my first week back at Uni I had two pieces of coursework that needed completing aswell as some other stuff that needed doing. Also a week ago I had an exam so revising for that has taken up alot of my time.
For once I am free from having half a million and one things to do for University so I have the time to catch up on some stuff, namely my website and launching lolgasm this weekend (hopefully!)
As for things, well having so much to do means I have had no time for anything else. I know the theme is a bit borked on here at the moment. This I believe has something to do with the Wordpress beta I am running all the time so for now this is something that has to be lived with, but when there is more stuff that I can post about, I will be. This weekend after the lolgasm launch has been taken for, I will be writing a blog post that I have had drafted up for a while about some Techious2 features, so look out for that!
Anyway, yeah have fun and fear the lols (could that be a catchphrase for lolgasm?)
Wootage Holidays

I has survived! Thankfully after two hundred years 11 weeks I have survived my first time at University and can now relax. Well, sort of. I still have a couple of pieces of work to do (that were both set yesterday) and my EngMaths exams to revise for, but apart from this, I am basically all the way there to having fun relaxing and stuff.
I think if I spend an hour revising each day and an hour doing work each day, that should prepare me enough for everything and should still leave me enough time to do whatever it is I want to.
So what shall I be doing during the holidays? Well I have no idea, apart from seeing people a couple of times, i think we’ll just have to play it ear, which should be good. Oh, and plenty f sleep, I need to sleep alot this holiday too
That’s about it, just keeping ye olde blog ticking over, oh and Techious2 is now synced up to my laptop so I can work on that remotely too which I’m sure some people will be glad of
Well, more sleep needed so cya.
Oh yea, theres also a 720p YouTube plugin in here now so once that works, I will be porting that not only here, but also into the main Techious Forums for funs and lols!

Holy Flip, I'm Back
So this is why you ain’t commenting :O

So this is why noone has been commenting then is it, because the publish button is broken, well now I have discovered this magic problem, hopefully it will be fixed in one update or another, and this is what people like me get for beta testing web software now isn’t it. Well, at least we have a auto-update feature that can tell us what the hell is going on, and hopefully this will mean that I may eventually be able to post all this that I have been writing, heaven forbid. But hey, lets get a comment one time or another.
One month on…
Posted by Si in Life, University, blog on October 27, 2008

Well, I haven’t really blogged in over two weeks, and well, noones commented in the last month, so something must seriously be wrong. I’ll look into that later.
Anyway, incase anyone actually is listening, well reading, this is what the last month has really been like. Great. That’s it, but yeah I’m sure more details are requested than that, so I will give you some of them.
Lectures, have still remained interesting, this is very good, cos I was concerned that even thought the first week was good, they would start getting dull and not very interesting, luckily they have remained to still be very interesting, which I am very glad of. I have learned quite a lot and unlike Sixth Form which basically was a bit boring at times, all these lectures have remained interesting to me, as it is all stuff I am genuinely interested in, which should be helpful when it comes to exams, because I’m really interested I should naturally work harder to learn more, just to help fix my morbid curiosity over such things
Apart from lectures, well we’re starting a little pool tourney type thing with a couple of people in my flat, it will be fun if we can ever deceide on when to do this properly. So far I’m second with a 50% win rate, someone has 100% and another 0%. Well, from 2 games each, those are the only possible outcomes so yeah, maybe we will all do better later once it gets to the 20 or 30 games played each stage, and umm I still only have 1 win lol.
I perhaps haven’t been going out partying or whatever as much as some other people here, or even as much as some of the people from us back at school, but the way I am seeing it, really is that the most important part about Uni, getting pissed each night so blindingly drunk that you cannot remember anything that has happened the night before, and other stuff like that. But hey, I’m having fun doing what I am, if life is about enjoying yourself (which it is) surely it doesn’t matter what the things you are doing are (unless its illegal in which case thats bad), I am enjoying myself, if people don’t like it, then they don’t like it.
I have noticed that University seems to be the one place where the credit crunch really hasn’t hit people. I suppose this is because as students we are screwed and poor anyway, so being more poor doesn’t really affect us. Maybe we’ll sell the big issue, because there seem to be alot more of those people areound these days, and they’re getting more clever, hanging round near ATM machines and stuff.
I haven’t completely blown all my student loan yet. No, not entirely just most of it, so far my text book bill has gone up to about £250, and a couple of those books are just for the first semester, when Week 13 comes, I’ll need more. All I can say is thank fuck for the student discount that there has been at Waterstones for the past month, cos that really has helped. Also, thanks to the NUS Extra Card, 5% off at Amazon also helps a little. I hope I don’t have to spend too much more on text books, otherwise I will need to start magically finding money in places to help pay for them, and yes I know Skillers, I still need to magically make some money for Techious, but I’m sure we can find a way of getting some!!!
That is the main bits of what has been going on, I will try and post more regurally on this now but would help if stuff works round here.
Anyway, work is calling, dammit
I'm Back (Again!)
Posted by Si in Spcook, University, blog on August 18, 2008

After literally one weekend of work, I am now able to announce and display the latest version of Spcook. This will now act as my blog and development site all tied together, documenting things as I travel through University over the next 4 years. This design is going to stay, but I might make a few changes here and there depending on how things go and if I get bored with things being exactly this way.
I aim to write in here reguarly as I move throughout University, allowing my freinds who can’t come with me to at least know what’s been going on with me for these next few years. Even if I can’t talk 24/7, hopefully this will provide a gateway to all the random and exciting things that have and will be going on.
This will also provide a home to random coding stuff I do, random stuff I just tinker with in my spare time as well as some things related to my Uni course.
Related to the site, I would briefly like to thank the following people for helping me release this site:
- John (Reedy/Lord Metritutus Merkwurdichliebe) – Tester, and yes I got rid of that retina-burning blue colour
- Mark (Skillers) – The guy whos server my site runs off. Thanks for letting me host this site here
(Oh yea, and visit Techious!)
Ok, short list, but had to be written.
I’m off to make the rest of the site match now, and update a million and one things,
Si
