I finally understand…

Monday, November 17th, 2003

Today it all became clear to me: I’m at uni because I don’t know how
to use a search engine. At least that was the impression I was given by
my lecturer this morning. The lecture was supposed to be about JavaScript but
she spent the first 45 minutes explaining that we had to hand in […]

Third-Generation iPod (40Gb)

Friday, November 14th, 2003

Apple’s acclaimed digital music player is put to the test.

This wasn’t a waste of time, honest.

I’m currently still trying to download the album covers for all of my
mp3’s. I was playing with clutter again today and I think that it is a really
clever idea. Clutter lets you leave your “albums” all over your desk so you can
flick through them to find what you want to listen to. It […]

Is a dream worth £475?

Thursday, November 13th, 2003

I was looking for a cheap holiday today and I stumbled across the perfect
xmas present for me. A
day driving Super Cars. I would love to do it but it’s £475 for
four hours but we’re talking about a Lamborghini
Diablo, a Jaguar
XKR, a Lotus
Exige, a Noble M12
GTO, a Maserati 3200GT and
the piece de la resistance […]

The Matrix Revolutions

Wednesday, November 12th, 2003

I went to see the Matrix Revolutions with Tony and Malyon. I was half
dreading seeing it as I wanted it to be fantastic and I was almost certain it
would disappoint me. It was quite good though. I think that the first film was
best, then the second and a little further down the […]

Happy Jappy Site and one Disillusioned Dude

Tuesday, November 11th, 2003

I’m now working on a site for Will’s brother Michael for his company Velocity-Performance .
He sells parts for Japanese cars, internal and external. It’s a really funky
looking site even if I do say so myself, Michael designed it and I’m trying to
put it all together. It’s nice to have a project I’m enjoying […]

Now *That* is a camera..

Monday, November 10th, 2003

In Photography today I had a chance to play with the Canon
EOS 10D it’s very cool (read “I want one”). We were learning about
lighting setups for still-life photography and one group was using a
medium-format camera with a digital back which is also cool but I wanted to play
have a play with a DSLR. […]

Broom broom, I want a car.

Sunday, November 9th, 2003

Okay, I’ve decided that I want to get a Honda Civic (1.4 or 1.6). I’ve
been looking at body kits I really like the VeilSide
one but it’s uber expensive, so the cheaper option
would be the one to go for. I’ve also seen some other funky bits for the beast
that will be mine, a blue […]

Ka-Boom … The End

Thursday, November 6th, 2003

This evening was good fun. Three of us went out into the middle of nowhere
to fire the Potato Cannon. It’s a piece of drain-pipe with a chamber on the end
you put a potato in one end and then squirt deodorant into the chamber. Then
you put an electrical charge between two nails that don’t […]

Search and ye shall find

Sunday, November 2nd, 2003

I had another look at my webstats today and I was chuffed to see that I’ve
been getting quite a few people coming in through searches. Mainly people are
searching for how to replace the internal battery in an iMac and how to use
avantgo under OSX. Third-Perspective comes up in the top ten and some cases […]
