Hmm, can't sleep (again) and spent the last 20 minutes looking at flamewarriors, I'm not sure which I am, which leads to the worrying conclusion that I might be all of them.

Anyway, now much more settled and am on my 3rd day of freshers flu for the third time... I've just this second got my sense of smell back and can taste the vegetable curry i made this evening :o)
Still seems strange that I'm in my final year of university... There are so many options it's difficult to decide what to do, but it has to be said that certain uncertainties at the moment are making a decision more difficult.
In geek news today, sucessfully managed to work out how to export to PDF files from Word (For my final project) to do this see here (under construction) (Needs ps2pdf or access to a system with it)

Oops, I should have posted this two weeks ago *sheepish look*
Back in aber
Well, I’m finally back in Aber again. Somewhat in a mess though, as I only really started packing 48 hours ago, and I’ve only really just had my first proper night’s sleep in a few days, and I tell you that’s welcome after a whole day of lugging stuff to and from cars!
As I said in my last blog, last week was a bit unusual. I’ve spent the last three months at home essentially doing nothing, and seemed to do the most socially within the last week, which seemed odd for some reason…. Dunno why. Caught up with some school friends, which was really nice to see them all again, but now I have phone numbers so hopefully we will be able to keep more in contact, I’m not sure why but I seem about the only one who spends any significant time in my hometown out of my old schoolfriends, then again I suppose I do make an extra effort to go back for my job.
New house in the student village is very nice, we still have two people to join us that we don’t know, which should be good to get to know some new people, I just hope it’s girls otherwise the house would be a bit “unbalanced”. Don’t have internet access until Monday as apparently they “need” a week of having the network offline while they set up a PHP script to let us register our own MAC addresses…. Somehow I think it’s a cover for not having a full speed link until Monday also, ah well, I will be forced to drink lattes in the arts centre while using the wireless then ; ).
Actually, I think a few days away from the internet will do me good, I’m getting chance to write a long blog for one, and I’m hoping to spend some time this afternoon writing out my final project outline, which should mean that I won’t have too much to do in October when it’s actually due.
I got a phonecall last night while attempting to unpack. The guy from the parish council wants to put an article about my broadband campaign in the parish magazine, which should be interesting... Perhaps all this being famous (if you call being in the local paper twice and a feature in the parish newsletter fame, that is) will bring me a fortune? Who knows.
Anyway I have lots of little things to get from the shops, and also I’m going to have to go and try out the new sun workstations in computer science, so that’s all for now.

Hmm, been annoyed about this for some time now.. It seems that the new Dido album will be "copy protected" meaning that I will not be able play it on my PC most probably :/
Anyway was registration today, which wasn't amazingly fun as it was basically two hours of queing, just as it is every year. Perhaps my systems analysis module will mean that I can work out a more efficient registration system.
