I keep trying to be your star pupil.

Hello,
It would appear I've managed to forget an update for two weeks, though it isn't like one is missing anything major. I got the blood test results back and I am not anaemic, which is always nice.
I got myself a copy of Serenity, which was the best £3 I have spent, Play.com has to be the best website ever. Quality movie, with some shiny bonus (and hidden) features, so naturally I'll rip all my Firefly related stuff to my PC again because watching the Firefly DVD is too much hard work as there is no play all option.
I recently acquired a collection of PC parts which I used to build a PC (which I am yet to test), but one of the useful, yet extremely lazy tools was a wireless keyboard/mouse set, as it means I can control my PC from a range, and as it is used as a media centre most of the time, it really does come in handy. So much so I am contemplating buying a remote control for my PC.
There also appears to be a strange high pitch screech coming from my PC, I have no idea what is causing it, and it only started after I got home, but it is slowly sending me insane(er). If I was to believe the current media induced health scare, then it is my WiFi melting my brain, though logically it'd probably be down to the fact the electric in this house is so unstable it is singing a song.
It is also slowly getting closer to the 25th, which sucks because it is one year since my brother died, and I have to go grave visiting. Though technically I don't have to go, as I could stay home, I know I couldn't just stay home as I'd regret it, so I have to go. Sucks.
Take care,
~Jordan |

People lie. The evidence doesn't lie.

Hello,
So I got my results back, and it wasn't good, so naturally I have a few things to do over, one of which I am surprised by, annoyingly I didn't get a full list of results, and I really want to know how well I did with WebDev.
It turns out my chest infection is still pretty hardcore to the point where I had to go back to the doctors today, who then gave me an uberdose of antibiotics, and I have been told I look Anaemic so I have to go for a blood test today, which sucks.
I also got told off by my doctor because I haven't been eating much since I got a chest infection so she said I have to force myself to eat, but in a way you'd expect your mother to tell you off, so now I am stocked up on soup so I can just drink. Hopefully I don't end up dead, or lose too much weight.
Take care,
~Jordan |

Thing is, I tend not to believe people.

Hello,
I have recently disabled comments on my website to prevent the constant cleaning of spam links. Isn't fun, but it had to be done, until I can find an easy way to prevent it.
My job hunt didn't get off to a great start but really it was my own fault so I'll just have to hit the agency's again to see what I can get, though I'll never have the cash to get the bike now, and seen as though I'll be back to uni in two months I'd be surprised if I get the cash for the license as I have to pay off my overdraft first.
Did I also mention I am very bored these days though my bored lead me to find that making fresh coffee rather then from a jar coffee is so awesome. Plus it has a hot plate so the coffee never gets cold which means fast caffeine high, lovely jubly.
Also a quick tip, if you ever formate you PC unhook any HDDs that you don't want to install an OS on, I can't believe how much stuff I lost and now have to re-find, it took me weeks to get the whole Due South collection, and it has taken a week just to get about 5% of it back. Ripping DVDs takes forever too, stupid switching them out all the time. But there you go, you get careless make a small slip-up and bad things happen which will take a long time to put right.
Take care,
~Jordan |

Well poker is not a game of interaction. It is a game of observation.

Hello,
Ever have one of those days where everything that can go wrong will? Today is that day for me, huge ammounts of software on my PC went on the flip, hardware went jazzy, I lost things, still haven't heard back from the agency, my cough is getting worse, and I have just formatted the wrong HDD.
I figured as my PC has needed it for a while now I'd go ahead and do it, simple task, until I cock it up, because on of my movie HDDs is IDE the installer assumed it was C:, and because I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing I just saw C: and click format, about 25% of the way in and I noticed that the HDD was a touch too big for my C:, which is when it hit me that I had just told it to rape the wrong HDD. So now I have to wait the hour or so for it to finish, so I can unplug it and start again (I cannot restart as I don't want to risk killing the drive so I can try and recover some data). Lucky there isn't a huge ammount of things on that drive I want to get back (that I can think of), but it is still a huge annoyance. [edit: Turns out I was wrong, I formated the important HDD, this sucks.]
I should have tried to find a job in Manchester and stayed at uni over the summer, it is so much harder to do anything here, the room is tiny, I eat less and what I do eat is less filling, my new bed is shit as all the springs in the matress have broken, the bed is a lot smaller and hard to find anything in because of it's piss poor design, and because I came home I got a cough that makes me sound like a 50 a day man, and wouldn't shock me if I coughed up my lungs the way it is getting worse. Plus bordem kicks in so much quicker at home which sucks as there is even less for me to do here, as I am no longer in touch with anyone I went to school or college with, and those I am don't live here anymore.
And for the added bonus, the first thing I did when I got home (last month by the way) was fill out the loan/grant form so I have funding for my last year at university leaving a small bit for my parents to do (needs some details about earnings plus they need to sign it). Guess what is still sat down stairs waiting to be sent off, which means I have no cash for next year, no job to earn any cash (because agencys suck balls and no store will hire someone to work for them for two months), and will have no funding to cover the cost of going to uni so I will have to drop out because I'll be in debt to the bank to such a degree that I'll be paying off interest for the rest of my life. Fucking joy.
Take care,

You know, I'm just a messenger.

Hello,
The job hunt went sort of bad, went to a couple of agency's and basically got either "come back another day" or "you need transport", which made me chuckle as I need the job to raise the money to buy the transport.
But hopefully I get the job and start earning some cash sharpish because it'd be nice to have the cash to buy the CB500 before I go back to uni, but lucky for me the market is getting swamped with them so prices are low, though one does have to ask the question as to the quality of such bikes.
But at least I'll have something to keep me busy during the summer, because I have way too much free time, which I never seem to be able to fill with anything, so I spend most of my time watching random crap on my PC (like watching Top Gear from Season 1 to current), or other such seasons which give me about a weeks worth of entertainment.
Going back to uni next year will be fun though, they changed the system so no one knows what house we are in, so it is going to take a lot longer then we'd like to get the keys for the house, so unless they change it again or some such then it is going to be a ball ache. All this assuming that I do get in next year, will suck quite a lot if I don't.
Take care,
~Jordan |
