This has been developing for a couple of weeks, but as of today it's looking extremely unlikely I'll be able to attend Confuzzled... Work refused my holiday because there'd be no one left to work (which is because for almost a year now they've been running the department with only half the staff it's supposed to have ( Read more... )

For a long time now my social circle's been far too limited. And I figure the time for changing that is long overdue, I want to get out there and make some new friends, and to reconnect with those I've fallen out of touch with ( Read more... )

Last night I had a sudden and rather strong pain in my right ear. Completely out of the blue, and there for about an hour or two before I fell asleep. Now this morning I've woke up with an echo. Absolutely everything I hear I hear normally, and then an echo of it (it's actually kinda nice listening to some music, but otherwise it's creeping me the ( Read more... )

Why is it that after a night of excessive drinking - though by my standards, I guess three times the recommended units isn't that excessive - the alcohol and caffeine wear off just as I have to go to work? I've had seven hours sleep in the past four days too... but I'm not complaining ( Read more... )

Strange weather... I thought there was something strange when I saw the window. No, not the heavy snow... it's 2:30 AM, and I don't have the light on - there's enough light coming through the window. The whole sky is lit up orange, and whilst not as bright as day, it's too light out there to be night. It's probably something to do with reflection ( Read more... )

To all my friends in America: Happy New President! Or rather, happy end of the last one ( Read more... )

OK, so what's going on in life at the moment? Uni's still too easy, but hopefully something challenging will come along soon (I'll regret saying this). Mind you, showing up's still worth it for the social aspect if not the education - always fun hanging around with a crowd that's almost as geeky as me ( Read more... )

As a random thought, when you type in the CD key to install a game, you're supposed to be reading it off your case or manual, right? Definately not getting it from a nfo file or keygen (that'd be piracy, piracy is bad). So why do so many game installers let you copy and paste in the CD key? - even when the key is split across multiple input boxes, ( Read more... )

I've been saying for ages I need to get back to work on my projects, but now that uni's let out for the holidays I've finally gotten around to it. The last week my sleep cycle's been out of whack (falling asleep in the afternoon), so with no one around to game or talk to, I figured it was about time to get cracking on my latest game ( Read more... )

Alright, seems my initial plans for RBW have gone out the window, so now I'm urgently in need of people to room with. I'd been planning to split with two other people, and if I can't find anyone else to share a room with then I simply can't afford to go (and the money I've paid on a ticket already will go to waste ( Read more... )
