Unfortunantly for some, my exams are more important than other stuff, including the failed Pic-a-Week, that unfortunantly is postponed until futher notice. Yeah, I know, I must suck and be fail or something but pah, sod it, I don’t care, you’re getting new websites soon, which should be awesome

So now for some content, what have I been filling my time with? Well, exams are what take the number 1 space in wasting time as I have had 8 lovely (not!) exams in 18 brilliant(-ly boring) hours. I swear thats almost more than there at the end of Sixth Form, and well, that declares the end of that. How did they go? Fine. (I hope!) Results are on next Friday (19th) so it will be one last trip back to Bristol for that before I run away going “dammit, I only got x% in this exam” (hopefully higher than the pass percentage ) Apart from that, Lolgasm recordings have taken up some time, even more now considering that it seems each episode, something else goes wrong in Audition so maybe it’s time to just give up on that. After all these exams some time is due to just doing sod all. My flat mate and I went to Bristol Zoo, it was quite cool. Got some nice pictures, look at the spam-a-lot-gallery if you wantto see them (oh and see the Fail video ) (note to self: dont write turtle or tortoise you will ALWAYS be wrong).

Exams over, I’m back at home. (barely!) Two bags that weigh OVER NINE THOUSAND grams each (well about 20 each) carrying 3 miles to BTM wasn’t the most fun in my life. All of my body aches and stuff which just makes the day go wrong. When I got home it’s starting to spend. Ordered my new laptop, my new graphics card, RMA’d (for refund ftw) my old graphics card and bought a new wireless adapter. Yeah Skillers, not quite a tx2 (more like your model) but for the price feck it I’m happy. Then hell came. <No one should know this (except DHR) so please don’t go asking>. Thus concluded Friday.

So, when does my stuff arrive? Monday for the laptop, Tuesday for the gcard pickup, friday for the gcard and wireless arrival. I will soon be back in business. But wait, I hear you cry (Dragon) how was I playing TF2. Well, for saving buying a Techious Subscription for other people, TF2 and L4D on my dads pc is in order (@Will_Anderson lol ). Now to not spend anything else (until Wii Sports Resort comes out of course!)

Plans for the summer, well theres three projects on the go, spage, SiBot and AdminBot. Yes, the server is self-aware (well will be when I’m done ) MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I HAS BUILT SINET </bs>. Then comes the TECHIOUS LAN 09! Bring it on bitches I PWN J00. Folding will hit a full going over here (at 2500ppd atm 24/7 (and thats just on one pc)). Finally (of course) will be trying to see all my friends alot this summer (unless this bs fude bs starts again :@). Oh yes, I am also planning a special new mp3 release, my voice artist show Morally Objectional?)

There has never been a better time for anything in life to happen. The interwebs will be our friends (and other technorubbish). I hope this small reply is good enough for you, and I will be writing alot more from now on (I promise!)

Arrivederci!

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?)

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!

I think it was this: 55, 109, 155, 243 (give ±20 in the latter two). Not bad for my first time playing, and not as Si, no, I must represent Techious so my name was TCHS in the games. Oh yes, and not last for any of the games! (First one last bar one, but meh, I still like).

In other news, I gave a really bad presentation embarasing Techious for all it’s worth, well I needed to give a presentation on something technical I’d done. Technical, umm Techious yes that works! Anyway I’ll try attaching it as a PDF to see if this system allows it.

Coding is becoming more interesting, I’m currently writing an over the top method for my latest coursework, I’m sure theres easier methods, just mine works for lols!

This is about it

Now really, this is really stupid. Personally, I think that people who do this should be banned from driving for ages, not that that will stop them. Some people just don’t care.

A £10,000 new car?!?!? What the fuck?!?! Why on earth would someone be that stupid? I mean come on, if I had a new car like that I wouldn’t mistreat it like that at all. Going to Bristol Magistrates now, I really think that is when you know that you are in some shit. Well, at least it’s close to the University, driving better not be an option to get there, someone else should drive there.

It’s also on the front page of the Epigram (not suprisingly), theres the link:

I’m not going to comment much more on this but hey, doesn’t show our Uni in too good a light now does it

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

¹ Trazillion by this definition equates to 162.

But hey, it was amazing, though we left at about half an hour before closing because we felt we had enjoyed alot, and yeah we had, it was flipping amazing.

I’m tired and well cba to write too much more, I can’t just word it properly, but here we go, the gallery picture thingymabobby:

Ooh, magic link.

But yeah, woo awesome week of first lectures and stuff, still the basics, but I’m finding that really, I’m getting very interested in everything that I kinda lost the interest in for a while, but here everything seems all new, even if it’s not so it’s all awesome and stuff

Tuesday was lectures and tutorial, Wednesday was more lectures, Thursday was a couple and the “Introduction to Oscilloscope Skills” Lab, so we got to play with some nice new shiny stuff <3 I suppose it will come in useful at a later stage when I need to build circuits and stuff, which I will be doing soon building a security system, well a rudimentary one. Should be fun playing with assembly code and stuff Friday was just more lectures to wind down the week.17

This week I have had 3 9 o’clock wake ups. Unfortuantly this increases to 4 in 2 weeks when one of my other lectures start, so it will be a battle, me versus sleep, but hey more interesting, as long as I don’t sleep through my lectures, which I doubt would happen with them being this interesting.

Tonight is the Fresher’s ball, which is going to be awesome, even though it is like a 300 mile trek to the student union building, £20 the ticket cost, but I’m sure that it will be worth it, the entire student union building just to us, with chocolate fountains and stuff… we’ll I’ll leave that to another post when I get back…

This weekend, is basically just relaxing and reading some stuff in the text books I have bought already, and waiting for more to arrive, and other stuff like that basically. Anyway, as long as things stay as they are Uni should be great!

Right, I need to get ready

Engineering mathematics was also the only other thing that happened today. Now that is a double lecture, this means that regardless of the weird Bristol Hour, its a two hour (1h50 or something maybe) lecture so we cover more stuff in that time. Again being the first lecture it’s more, “this is what you will be doing” and “we assume you have forgotten everything so here we start”. But hey, vectors are easy, annoying as feck but still easy so hey, that’ll do for me .

Already bought one text book out of six trillion and submitted my first piece of coursework already, “write a script that does Hello, World!” now come on that isn’t particuraly difficult now is it?!? If I don’t get 100% on that I will be shocked.

Well, thats one day of stuff, I thankfully have an 11 o’clock start tommorow instead of 9, which should be good, and I also get to meet my tutor (twice, hes my first lecturer tommorow) which should be interesting.

Now for more TF2…
