This week I am going to learn flash. I know enough to muddle through with it but I feel like I’m going to be at a disadvantage if I am not completely flash literate by the time I start going for interviews. It’s also making me hold back from applying for jobs that […]

I went Ice Skating last night with Jo’s colleagues from the library. I was driving, Jo was navigating and Kirsty was sat in the back being quiet. As per usual we got lost. I followed the signs for Gillingham even though I should have known that I needed to pass it and […]

Why do bands allow other “Artists” to cover their songs? Yesterday while I was in the pub with Ji-Ho I had to endure a disgraceful cover of ‘Fell in love with a Girl’ by The White Stripes, done by Joss Stone and renamed ‘Fell in love with a boy’. Then this morning while […]

After I finally got everything working the PC downstairs is now fubar. The drive died and I have had to order another one. Last night Chris and Tony came over to help me recover the data off the dead disk. We spent a while trying to figure a way of getting the […]

When I got home last night I tried to install the drivers for the video card but they came up with a message saying they required DirectX 8. This is a 10Mb download and until Monday I’m still on dialup, thankfully Malyon downloaded it and brought it over for me on the way to […]

Well it only took nine hours to scrub windows in the end. So about midnight I sat down to reinstall windows, oh what fun. Did I mention I hate windows? Rob pointed out that I only have experience of 98SE which is “the worst OS that MS wrote”. To be honest […]
