Oy vey, but this end-of-term stuff is fun! Five hours of lazing around in the sunshine on the lawn...Jun 13, 2003

Spent five hours lounging on the lawn with friends, junk food, and cherry coke. Now sunburned to a crisp and heading out for indie music. Worth it.

Right! Well that's nice and done with then. Four exams done and out of the way, one left in a week,...Jun 3, 2003

Four exams down, one easy French one to go. I'm back, redesigning the site and dumping my massive backlog of links on you, 10 a day. Job hunting too. Hundreds more links where these came from.

Why I love this university, and never ever want to leave: Last night, I went to Top B. Top B is a...Jan 14, 2003

Strangers in a car applauded me walking home from a cheesy pop night at the students' union. 60p drinks, five minutes from my house, and spontaneous applause from passing cars. I'm never leaving.

Back at Warwick! First blog of the year; not much to say except "Aaargh, I have too much work to...Jan 5, 2003

Back at Warwick and completely overwhelmed with work. Send help.

And so it's the final Monday of term... I sit at Moz's computer in New Gaggle House, waiting for...Dec 2, 2002

Last Monday of term, sitting at Moz's computer waiting for dinner, with Kim and Matt en route. Top B tonight should be great, or I'm just bored and hungry. Probably both.

6.50am: Fire alarm. Uh oh. We've heard this tune before... 6.52am: And again. Thought...Nov 28, 2002

Repeatedly woken at dawn by a fire alarm. Missed my first lecture. I need sleep.

Saturday night's all right for fightin', and for not a great deal else, apparently. Yay for living...Jul 27, 2002

Back in Winchester, the world's only one-horse city. Staying at Erasmus Park, surviving on dialup, table football, and shameless self-documentation. Mass emails feel pushy, so the journal it is. Projects pending: my third-year project, a site update, and GayGeeks.org, my transparently desperate attempt at internet dating.

Mondays suck, especially when you have to revise. All that revision is why there's not going to be...May 27, 2002

Revising all day killed my blogging mojo, but here's what I've got: reasons to ban cloning white people, ice oceans discovered on Mars (hello, terraforming potential!), and my dream of sightseeing through Valles Marineris. Mondays still suck.

Okay, so I slept for like 45 minutes last night. Which isn't good. But I did finish my HCI...Feb 11, 2002

Only slept 45 minutes but finished my HCI assignment: designing a movie-editing suite. Screenshots are up. The design theory justification was junk, but the design itself is great, obviously. Also mainlining "Crying at the Discotheque." Another deadline Friday. Send help.

Second blog in two days! Can you guess I have an exam? A combination of sleep deprivation and...Feb 4, 2002

Procrastinating before my exam, sleep-deprived and randomly surfing, I stumbled onto Boing.com and got weirdly hooked speculating about the anonymous author, the family photos, and whatever plastic surgeon has clearly been busy with them.

End of week 1, term 2, year 2. Finished my assignment on time, so yay, and also managed to visit...Jan 13, 2002

Week 1 of term 2 done. Turned in my assignment on time and hit London for the January sales. Camden Market delivered, Oxford Street didn't. Also: Prolog scrambles your brain but writes tiny elegant programs, the new iMac is gorgeous, and Castle Transylvania is disappointingly now a tourist resort.

England and Warwick! It's not as cold as I expected it to be, thanks to all the fog, but I haven't...Jan 7, 2002

Back in Warwick after the holidays. Foggy but not freezing. Missed half my first lecture due to a nearby plastics factory fire snarling all the buses. Started swimming with Dan, London sales trip this weekend, and an assignment due Monday. Busy times.

Hooray, exams are over! Now I'm unemployed again. Oh well. Job Hunt 2001 (TM) is now on, and I may...Jun 14, 2001

Exams done, now job hunting. Possibly have an interview Tuesday. Found 1000+ emails waiting for me. Need money, food is good. God bless Jobserve.

Aaargh, aargh, arrgh! Exams are evil! And very depressing. But not as depressing as my bank...Jun 9, 2001

Exams are killing me and my bank balance is dire, but I just found out my university awarded me a scholarship 9 months ago and forgot to tell me. Silver lining. Still jobless, but my last exam is the 12th and then the daily job hunt calls begin.

I hate getting access from the Computer Science building at uni. I have to do all my online...Apr 30, 2001

Complaining about cold buildings and bad internet access, but at least no Monday lectures. Here's a Gilbert and Sullivan parody link to make it worthwhile.

I am grievously ill, and back at University. I will probably not be posting for a few days as a...Apr 22, 2001

Sick and back at uni. Posts will be sparse for a few days.
