It’s so small, I’m jealous

Friday, September 12th, 2003

Wow! Jo bought herself a digital camera today, it’s tiny. It’s a Pentax Optio S and even though it’s incredibly
small it has a 3.2 megapixel CCD and a 3x optical / 3x digital zoom. It’s very,
very small, in fact it fits in an altoids tin! It’s actually a bit too […]

Friends Reunited and Disconnected

Wednesday, September 10th, 2003

I’ve just got in, I went out with all my old mates from college; Jo, Kerry,
Beth, Tone, Brickhead and Fra, Jon and Sam, Mel and Rob. We went bowling in
Bexleyheath which taught me two things, firstly I suck at bowling and secondly
they let some very strange people work in bowling alleys. I think […]

Jump London

Tuesday, September 9th, 2003

I just watched Jump London on channel 4 and it was fantastic.
One of the best programs I’ve seen for a long time. The guys on the program
seemed utterly fearless and that something I find immensely impressive. Not in
a stupid, “I’m invincible” way but just that they knew they could make
the jumps so there […]

Quandary and a quandary

Sunday, September 7th, 2003

Me and Jo went to see Quandary playing at the Courthouse in Dartford
last night. My mate Ben is the guitarist and second vocalist. They were really
good! I’ve never seen them before, I knew that Ben was a good guitarist but
that doesn’t necessarily make a good band so I was impressed. During […]

oh dear…

I just shaved my dad’s head. I think my mum might actually kill him.

I love you Apple, I do..

Saturday, September 6th, 2003

I was looking through eBay as I do now and then to see how cheap
second hand gadgets are. I was looking at iPod’s and
they seem to have held their value pretty well, even broken ones (it brings a tear to the eye that
one!). I think perhaps that it is mainly due […]

Bodies in a van? WTF?!

Thursday, September 4th, 2003

I don’t intend to post pictures in my diary in future but this was just too
weird. A lorry passed me as I was walking through Holborn Circus on the way
back to Blackfriars. Not a normal lorry you understand. It was a glass trailer
which was full of what appeared to be casts of […]

Good things come to those who wait..

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2003

Rah! I got a letter today about an insurance bond my Grandparents took out
for me ten years ago. It’s worth twice what I thought it was!! I won’t get it
till my 21st birthday but that’s cool ‘cos I can put it towards a car or living
expenses in “the real world”. This […]

iOrganised thanks to iCal and iSync

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2003

I downloaded iCal and iSync about
a week ago which took a fair time over my 56k dial-up connection. So I was
suitably irritated when I tried to install them and it told me I needed a more
recent version of OSX. The OSX upgrade was nearly a 90Mb file and it was taking
a […]
