Back from the Dead!!!

Well after moving my journal to my own site, and then watching it die a death, I’m back with Live Journal……3 years on!!!!

That is until I hand code my own blog…..

Mmmmn is that a pig flying over a frozen hell ??

More latter kittens.

(now to change that picture of me from severn years ago!!)

Help I’m melting!!!

Man its been unrelentingly hot here in Leeds, and nationally, since I finsshed my exams two weeks ago.

Last week were on holiday in Rachel’s parents’ caravan, and after adapting to a world designed for midgets had a cracking time. Really relaxing.

Now back on form, and doing a bit of work and a bit of play, and basically letting things get back to normal after the intense death crush of last semesters’ end.

Of to Stabcon in Manchester this weekend coming, to play board and card games with the usual Drinking posse, so that should be a laugh.

The end is in sight!!!

Yippee!!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for my Java assignment. I have only to finsh off the last bit of functionallity, and then add whistles and bells (which aren’t strictly necessary…but will get me a higher mark!).

“Newt Hairways…we’re getting there!”

Even in Defeat Victory!

Still blazing hot…cats are coming upstairs to where I pound the computer keyboard to pass out…but somehow I remain cool.

Yesterday was the triumphant day of University work..started at 10am finished at 10pm! Did loads on my Java and even did a couple of hours of revision. Then stayed up and played Weapons Fortress UT (a cracking MOD sort of a Heavy Metal version of Team Fortress Classic) until 3 which was ace

..but kinda blew it for today, since its taken guts and determination to do half of what I did yesterday. However despite it all I’ve still managed to get stuff done.

HOORAH!

…………sticky, icky hippy.

Still sweating out in the heat. One would think that I lived on Mars not South Leeds…..but then again.

Still recovering from the Epic boozefest that was Friday night, a night on the town with Rachels’ work colleagues a nice bunch by all accounts.

Good news is that I’ve really got ahead with my latest Java Assignment….expect a copy of my “Make A Pizza” Application in a couple of weeks. Really cool that its coming along nicely since I have to have it up and running by Friday!!!
