Back in the UK. Awesome job got. New girlfriend got (still in New Zealand, heading back to Germany soonishish). Need place to live in Zone 1/2 London. Enjoying playing WoW and Mass Effect until my eyes dry out.

What up, y'all? :D

23 weeks since last update, oops!

Is anyone on here interested in the last 5 months of my life? They have been pretty cool, but if no-one's reading LJ anymore... then I won't! :D

Blimey, I've been working in Eastleigh for nigh on 18 months - and had no idea there was a public library inside the shopping centre. It's actually pretty good, too. Which is vaguely annoying as they have a rather well stocked SF/Fantasy section! Grr, etc.

Working through the last few days now, handing over to a contractor chap at the moment. Trying ( Read more... )

Well, back at work after a lovely Christmas and New Year break - all's still up in arms here and very busy. I'm not so bothered though, because we're off around the world on 2nd April! I think I'll be finding it increasingly difficult to both a) pay attention and b) care about work over the coming 11.5 weeks ( Read more... )

...But nonetheless, I think it's nifty. If you're using a flavour of unix/linux that has bash and wget installed on it, feel free to use it.

charname=`echo ${url}|awk -F "=" '{print $3}'`
wget -q -e "header = Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5" -e " ( Read more... )

My friend and fellow WoW-geek-at-work Rich T was lucky enough to get picked in a recent FigurePrints raffle. He was also jammy enough to convince them to send it to the UK, despite them not officially 'doing Europe' yet!

It arrived today, and looks wicked - I am jealous!

I got my first purples last night, woooo~! Been saving up for my epic land mount for a while now, and got that as soon as I logged in. Went for a Frostsaber, after all my Darnassus rep grinding (plus the funky green groobly bits match my MasterChief-lookin' armour).

Guildies also randomly decided to go for a raid boss in Feralas, one of Ysera's ( Read more... )

I've just been browsing my livejournal archive, and thought I'd share some of my favourite entries past.

In vague anti-chronological order!

• Tokyo Dance Trooper
• My personal take on CyberGolf
• I DON'T CARE, INTERNET CATS ARE FUNNY
• 1UP CAEK
• I complain about WiPro contractors' abysmal english (I also talk about William Gibson)
  

Getting back to work after a lovely and very relaxing break at Center Parcs has been a mild shock to the system, but hasn't been too bad to be honest. Still riding along on a wave of un-stress, not really got much to worry about at the moment! Been in the black for ages, mounting quite a pile of savings in prep for our travels next year. I keep ( Read more... )
