I hate posting video’s on my blog simply because it’s not quick to watch however this is my exception. E4 ripping the shit out of Apple’s iPad. This is much funnier for the people that have seen the iPad adverts already otherwise you may have the same response as my female house mates which was the following.
“Huh? I don’t get it… Is that supposed to be funny?”
I know the lecture is about web services but you’ve said “web services” about 1000 times in 20 minutes. It’s becoming particularly annoying!
Celebrating Lauren’s 20th birthday with Shiela’s 6 and 5 of her friends from back home. It was a great night and her friends are awesome. Just had some laughs and some beers. I also got her the best (and admitadly geeky present). It was a hard drive that replaces her internal cd-rw drive with lots of movies, tv shows and documentaries on it. I had to get it imported from Japan! She loved it though so it was completely worth the time and effort.
I love this. Why do i love this… Because it was a nothing yet fun day… There was no uni work, Jessops work, assignments. Nothing, nada. Oh and no rain. It was bloody sunny! I miss the damn sun! I want to walk around in flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt again! SUMMER, IM WAITING FOR YOU!

Ahhhh! My neck won’t stop clicking! My shoulder is in massive amounts of pain at the moment too thanks to my new found competitive streak in the Guitar hero arena. I don’t own the game but damn i wish i did. I may get a Mac version in the next couple of weeks but it’s £50 and i just spent £55 on an electric razor (i hate shaving but it’s compulsory for work). That’s not too say that im not working by the way. Im working hard on the few assignment that have been set already but the main area of work this past week has been for my concurrency module which i took last term. I know, i know. I’ve shown my disgust for what can only be described as the hell of all modules EVER many times in the past but i kid you not when i say that i’m absolutely shocking at it therefore revision needs to be done VERY early so that i can minimise stress when the exams do actually start in about 3 months time.
Tomorrow im laptop shopping with Sophie, doing more revision on concurrancy (as im half way through the basics), making a first draft of a cover letter for a student placement for next year and if i wake up early enough i may even go and get my haircut for the cherry on top. All have to be done tomorrow, apart from the haircut.
Life as a student. I actually love every bloody moment of it. Even the stressful parts.
I’ve recently purchased a second hand unibody aluminium MacBook. Now the specificaion in terms of speed is very similar to my previous Black MacBook. Main differences is .2ghz speed increase and almost double memory speed increase. Other than that all the other differences are cosmetic and usability and its incredible how much better (even following a particularly good Black MacBook) this new one is. The LED screen colours are just incredible. I get a much brighter screen without loosing additional battery life. The back-light keyboard is surprisingly helpful in dark situations (after living without it for so long you forget that it’s even a feature that could be useful.) And let’s not forget the aluminium enclosure and multi-trackpad. It just makes using expose a million times easier, the body is stronger, lighter and so much more robust.
Even minimal things such as the displayPort. It just holds in an external display connection much better than the previously poor miniDVI connection which would come loose at frequent intervals. Oh and you don’t get that annoying sound from the superdrive when waking the Mac up from sleep. Silent wake. Lovely.
Best thing is that they go for anywhere between £600 and £700 on eBay which is over £250 cheaper than the current 13” MacBook Pro on the Apple website. So, if your thinking of upgrading your current polycarbonate MacBook for a faster machine, don’t go for another one, go for a second hand Alu MacBook from eBay or a MacBook Pro from Apple.
Yes, good ole JD is featuring today for the simple reason that this is the year that i have discovered Scrubs. I know, rather silly since it has been out for about 10 years but better late then never right? I think next time it will be an image of Elliot.

Apologies for what is a rather disgusting picture but I’d like to point out that my mouth is accomodating a whole extra fucking tooth! I understand that this is not a revelation to anyone, including myself, however it still astounds me especially noticing how my innards are no longer symmetrical :-(

Night time train crossing. There’s nothing more annoying. Especially when it’s the 3rd time in one day!

Had another awesome night out with the house and the Biggins duo (as pictured above). Good music for a change too! Very unlike the UKC venue!

Me and my new baby. Yes i bought a new MacBook. £650, second hand, unibody Aluminium MacBook. 2.4ghz with a graphics card(finally!). It’s quite possibly the most beautiful things i have ever owned. It’s strong, more durable, keyboard backlight plus an LED screen that is just gorgeous and phenomenally better than my blackbook. Happy day :-)
