just night was cool.. went out for a bite to eat with rosie, buzz, barney, barney's girlfriend, heath and greg to the thai place on cambridge heath road.. nice meal, great company, and then for a few at the camdens head.. very nice. i'm looking forward to being able to do stuff like that again.. but *so* shouldn't have done it last night :)

alison called this morning.. she arrives on tuesday, so is leaving in around 18 hrs. how bizzare.
it'll be great to see her again, if not a little wierd.. i can't belive its been almost six months since i was there though.. time zips.. it really does
i mean.. its almost kpoch


well.. dotcam is certainly starting to take shape.. to get it to a releasable point will only take a few more days, but i've decided to work on my essays this weekend.. as they're blatantly going to take me more time.. i want to try and get the hypertext one done and dusted today, work on dotcam tonight, and then the iTV report tommorow and monday. alison arrives on tuesday, so that gives me wednesday/thursday to finish dotcam, document and hand in..

likely?
absolutely not.. but what the hell.. its worth a try ;)



busy at the moment.. with dotcam and essays and everything, but here's a little picture to appease you.. the bastards who are making lost of noise very close to my sore eyes.. right at this very moment. this is why the building is surrounded by scaffold.. doing 'something' with the windows.. clearning them would be nice..

i think they're stripping the wood down, tidying up the frames etc.

kickass weekend..

handed in the project, drinks with becky and jon, came back and stayed at abbies (apart from the bloody annoying trains conspiring to keep me from handing in my work :)

lay out on hamstead heath with abbie.. sun sun sun
walked up to kenwood house, kept on wandering and found a pub..
had something to eat at a nice thai place
got called tramps due to abbie's insistance of wearing a rug

went to camden market.
didn't buy anything
went on a southbank pub crawl with slim
went to bed.

man.. i love summer ;)

mark this time and date.. 9am, friday may 11th
its a glorious day

a) bloody hot again
b) got my home computer working !!
c) my project is ready to hand in
d) duck wraps got a section all to itself in the spodmag

etc. etc.
*yawn* :)

it was kirk's leaving dooo tonight..
here are the pics :)

wow.. today is fantastically warm.
a high of 19C in the capital (that's where i am fortunatly), and that kind of ouch heat which when you walk out of the door, you feel all mediterrian, and want to immediatly pack up your bags, and go live in italy. i think i will.. byeeee.

so close to finishing.. the cd at least.. just a few things to sort out tommorow.. and i'm done i reckon..
right.. lets try and do this report then. (or shall i do it tommorow)?

a little bit more now i think

hmm.. cloud in the sky.
lightning even.

crash boom wallop

man.. summer kicks ass
15C, not a cloud in the sky.. some planet funk on, and woo, i'm away
i so should be sitting in a park on a laptop.. well, its almost over.. i'm writing up the report now.. and then finish the bugs tommorow (wednesday).. and then take it down thursday!?

and supernoodles is going live today.. ha!

heh.. it worked (kinda..) just did the first burn of the project - and it mainly worked wooooooooo!!!!
there are some bugs, but i'll sort them out after the writeup..

but wooooo wooooooo wooooooo wooooooo!!
probably going for drinks at camden's head later (nice weather :)



possible proof of my geekdom?
last night whilst watching "The Negoiator", i noticed on the computer when they were copying files across, that he didn't have Office installed, as there were no icons for the .doc files

i thought it was impressive.. last night was cool actually, pizza, coke and sky movies :)
can't beat it.

coooooooool.
a warship named after little ol' me? kickass :)

slim is here again, working on dk stuff.. and he managed to snap two lovely pics of the strapping young men / women looking after our building.. make your own decision on their gender please.

greg is sure they are mother and daughter.. i'm sure its male.. alex doesn't have a clue.
answers on a postcard please.

woo.. slept until 3pm :)
thats okay though, i'll work through tonight..
mad dreams about oysters, snapping celebs (i think the spice girls.. or hearsay, or someone.. i was meant to be taking their phots, but didn't dare, cause i thought it was rude or something), and then kirsty turns up looking after a little girl, except it wasn't kirsty or something [um]) and she was wearing glasses..

tick tick tick
sleep or work?

ponder or nap?
hmm... headache or bah.. i should just sleep here again.. much easier than going all the way home...

BBBBBAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
die cadnet.. die
stop building crap machines. penguin42 suggested doing a memory scan.. so i've got some software to do that.. but not right now, but i swear.. i'm counting the crashes. and i will hit someone for each time it's crashed...

damn.. *so* should have gone to wolves on thursday to see Jim.. gavin reckons there doesn't need to be any planning submitted for this assignment.. just the documentation, project and project review. hmm... can't afford to be silly with my final project, but i have been.. stupid stupid stupid stupid

nope.. useless.. might as well have just got up at 8... hmm.
sore throat now too.. :(

6 days.. 6 hrs...

i tell you what - you see some cool shit walking around london at 3am, a fox for example.. how kickass is that? yeah, it looked scrawny as hell, but twas an urban fox nonetheless.

you get to see the queues in the bagel bakery.. (hmm.. not so great)
comedy really.. visit there at lunch - no queue.. visit there at 3.30am.. packed.. where's the justice in that?

you get to see drunk friends stumbling around shoreditch - aron et al after the digit party (mm.. need to get back in to the scene i think... drunkardness after uni perhaps).. although saying that.. i'm doing well without booze at the moment aren't i? then again, its not like i'm going out..

right this is the experiement - to see if its this time of the morning that makes me productive - or that its at the end of the day (ie.. i take ages to settle in).. we'll soon see.. i can't afford not to pull my finger out now.. far too much to do.. i could probably just about manage the write up.. but the planning as well??! erk..

me at work with slim...
finished testing..
now time to debug.. and then test again.. and then write up..

uh oh.. i'm running out of things to do..

heh..
siX is playing his hardcore thrash bleepy bleepy music.. far too loud.. and shouting "COOOOMMMMMMME OOOOOOOOON".. very funny.. i'd take a picture.. but that would be silly as you can't see sound (that often.. unless you suffer from anaesthesia).. no.. sorry, i meant synasthesia :)

hello.. haven't been paying you much attention have i? sorry darling..
here.. as a present, take a look at something else that isn't paying much attention (tra la la.. funny)

guess what.. i'm almost done.. well, to a point that i could hand in anyway.. just working off the diary, and then completing the TBR's in the buglist.. and i can start the writeup, and then add any more content if i have time :) wooness..

hoping to get the TBRs done tonight. fairly tired though.. up at 7am this morning.. and the dilemma of seeing jim tommorow.. oh dear.. i'd prefer to get it done than waste n hours on a train.

whoa again:
MY HEAD!!!!

whoa:

bah.. just usability tested on andy leith.. and LOADS of bugs.. :(
keep on testing..

ok.. just hit the physical exhaustion bit.. feeling all floppy etc... go home time..
but have just listed 70 odd bugs - which is nice.. i think.
will set alarm for 11.. 4 hours kip? hmm.. should be okay.. maybe midday then :D

sob.. why am i *so* productive at this time of the morning?
i'm on such a strong tip at the moment.. zipping through the *very* thorough testing of o2.. but should go home so i can sleep, and then come back to do more during the day.. user testing tommorw..

*and* i have to get a fairly early night tommorow night (tonight.. tuesday night).. cuz i have my MRI at 9am .. just off russell sq..
means getting up at 8am.. gah :(

hmm... light at the end of the tunnel?
i think i've reached a point where i can stop adding.. and try and consolidate everything that's currently in the application..

test, debug, usability.. and hand in.. guh!?
is that it?

no doubt the testing will show up missing things.. definatly in the applications.. i think the article library is fine, but the diary and dictionary needs stuff doing.. (oh.. and adding all the content to the dictionary.. oh fcuk... volunteers anyone? :)
maybe write a script which nicks it from the html?
