Aquarionics

OK, missed yesterday dispite being online most of it. Found nasty pictures of me online (there is a link on Aquarionics somewhere :-)
Reguler viewers will notice that we are now about 400% faster, due to a slight re-design (most of the pictures had some of their colours confiscated). In addition, and in case you hadn’t noticed, Aquarionics is joining in the fine tradition of Webrings, and a couple have their buttons on the left. Also around are the “I support this” type buttons reminding people not to pinch my graphics or design (though why you would want to isn’t clear) and reminding me not to be nasty to people in my blog.

Technically this happened before the redesign, but it was a matter of hours before, and I forgot to add them and/or create the buttons until now.

Otherwise life carries on regardless. I spent Sunday (yesterday) at work, chatting on IRC and loading paper into the printer. Then I made a screwup (the kind that is compounded because you didn’t realise it was going wrong) and now I have to explain nicely to my boss why we may have to reprint 4000 slips of paper.

bugger

Anyhue, I am currently working on a new page to review things. Could be fun :-)

Home again, for keeps this time. 6 hour train journey. My typing is screwed to buggery (it is taking me two trys at every word) I’m going to bed :-)

Exams over, homeward bound.
Not now, obviously, Now I am sitting at a random computer at Uni, awaiting tomorrow morning when I leave. Today was spend in an entertaining whirlwind of catching a train to Newcastle in order to buy some bags so I could carry stuff home. I now have two large bags, two small rucksacks and a poster-tube to carry 300 miles (not on foot) and then I have enlisted my Brother to meet me at Kings Cross to assist my trapse across the Underground. Fun.

Oh Hellfire. Forgot to add the Webring links to the new design. Blast.
(I can’t do it now, coz the code is over 300 miles due south of here)
On the plus side, I have now finished all my exams (Woo Hoo!) and now I am just awaiting…

What?

Why am I still sitting in the University computer room?

Is it because I have Assignments? No. Because I don’t.

Is it because I a needed? Nope. Nothing to do, nowhere to go

Which is rather the point really. I have a Sci-Fi exec meeting tonight (My first, I got elected as next years Secretary last week) A National Scifi quiz night to attend on saturday, and after that I go home.

In the meantime I am trying to remember how to touch-type. I took a course in it (both a computer and a book based one, and gave up when I realized that since I could type much faster than I could touchtype. Now my bad typing habits are causing physical pain, So I have decided to learn again.

The net effect of this is that my typing speed is down 90%, and my error ratio is up by a similer amount. nevermind. It’s not as if I’m in a hurry.

The british govenment are trying to push though a bill which will force ISPs (not defined) to send copies of every byte that goes though their network to MI5 (Roughly equivilant to the US’ CIA) just in case it comes from a terrorist.
