I fancied a quickie

…blog update, you dirty fool :)

I’m heading out for a second interview at the place I went to on Monday so it would appear i didn’t do too badly. I’m hoping I can do better today on the written test though. I don’t like tests but I suppose it’s a necessary evil.

After I’ve been for my second interview Claire and I are heading over to RadioRSP for the Ollie C Show which I’m looking forward too, haven’t been on for two weeks, lol. Tune in if you fancy it, we’re on from seven ’till nine.

Right then, which tie to wear…

What a week

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Last week was tiring. I was in London with Steve and we put in some loooong days and there was no internet :O.

I’ve just come from an interview in Leeds which I hope went well. I was pretty nervous it has to be said and don’t think I did too well on the technical questions :( That said, my interview was in an indoor igloo, lol. Got to thank Claire, Sam, Wes and Steve for thier advice too :) Got some details on a programming job to come in Ripon too, which sounds good. Why is it everything happens all at once huh?

Well, now I’m going to put some music on and chillout seeing as I’ve earned my day off and this afternoon, seeing as Claire and I are in Leeds, we thought we’d go grab some lunch with Sam, which will be cool.

Twittering on

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

I’ve succumb to the dark side, that’s right, I’ve signed up to to Twitter. I’ve been hearing lots of thing about it for a while but never thought there was a point to it. Well now, I know there’s no point but boy is it fun! Give it a try, it’s pointless fun at it’s best.

For anyone who tunes in regularly or who has been following my project 365 but I’ve been a bad boy, I’ve not been keeping it up to date. The pictures are taken but they’ve not managed to magically make their way to the internet yet, oopsie daisy. But I will endeavour to get it done… before the end of the year ;)

I got myself two 19″ wide-screen monitors (that’s 2880×1800 pixels of desktop goodness), an NVidia 7600gs graphics card and am playing through Half-Life: 2 again and I’ve got to say that even though I played through it on my NVidia 4200Ti (I loved that card, it was great. Is it sad to be sentimental about a graphics card?) on low settings and the game ran fine I’m impressed with how it looks this time around. I’m in Ravenholme where lesser game players abandoned the game at such a point(lol, love you Kasp ;)).

I also got an intelliplug and it’s great. Check it out, it won’t save the planet but it will save a few pennies off you’re phone bill. Also check out the Intellipanel, wish i’d got one these instead, ho hum.

Blackpool

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

Well, what a couple of weeks it’s been and I can safely say I’m in need of this bank holiday weekend. I need to relax for a bit.

On Thursday Claire and I went to Blackpool for the day which was awesome. Claire strongly encouraged ;) me that we should go up Blackpool tower as she’d never been and seeing as I’d never been either I didn’t really have an excuse.

So on we went to Tower World (a tacky name if you ask me) to go up the tower. I was surprised at the entrance to learn it was
