Revision

It takes over my life, though it's sort of to be expected. I don't mind the time so much - it's the pain of the actual work! The sun decides to rule the sky just at the time when I can barely afford an hours break. The best thing over the past few weeks has been working up at Lukesland and escaping onto the moors. Ten Tors today -im sure they were all very happy but it doesn't convince me!!

Searching for voluntary work -some progress there! Charity shop/working on coast paths. I know which one people would prefer I did but I'm looking at ease of access as well as worthwilage. I'd rather be in a shop talking to people than moping around building bridges!

This is a method of procrastination but I can't take much more revision! Role on school...though exams start next wednesday with R.S - the joys...


The corps apparated in perfect synchronisation to their designated action points. Harry landed in a crouch, unaffected by the disorientation apparation usually causes. Ahead he could see the conflict allready beginning as Auror met Cult member in a whirl of hexes and curses.

Ron was to his right with Neville, Hermione and Ginny behind.

"We're too late for this area, redirect to their headquarters," Harry ordered. He had grown accustomed to ordering his freinds around, though he still felt bad about being head of the cell instead of Ron. In a moment, he disapparated.

This time he hit the ground running, firing curses to the left and right. They'd landed in perfect formation -Nevill and Ron to his left and right with the girls behind. This would be the case untill they got right into the thick of fighting.

"Expelliarmus, Accio, Reducto, Stupefy," he bellowed, destroying the wand and stunning a Lethifold Priest caught off guard.

"Diffindo," came a hiss from behind. Five more priests fell to Ginny's slicing curse, decapitated.

Revision: Day3

Day 2 invloved working up the road so doesn't count. I still got about 3 hours of revision done+ordered revision guides! Today got 5 hours though I skived of English lit. I'm now thinking of changing History to French/Spanish at DHSG for ye old A levels.

Wrock collection is now in very good condition - album art, genre, artist etc. I even used windows media player to sync to my phone!! Aren't I clever... Only problem now is that I have no acceptable music...if anyone asks it's either the OC or Wizard Rock...ah well most people think im a tad weird anyway :)

And off to tomorrow...

Revision: Day 1

For lots of people, the fifth of April 2008 laregely consisted of either making a small fortune or losing a fair bit of money on the grand national. The only time I've ever properly betted on a horse race was at a point to point - I won around £20!! Today we just did a small family sweepstakes: maximum takings were £3.

For me, today was the first day in a five-hour-a-day revision plan, sponsored by Wizard Rock! I survived and kept on schedule, which included clarinet practice. The rest of the day belongs to me!!

The wrockwiki is looking good - I'm thinking of contributing to their article base, though the majority of what I added last night has been removed...better luck next time hopefully! Perhaps my account has been downgraded or summat.

R.S. French, English Lit, Biology, Physics. Done

Ubuntu

I spent ages attempting to get ubuntu to connect to the internets then another ages installing it to USB. And now it's 10.00 and I've got next to nothing done-epic fail.

Then again stumbling has cheered me up. It's just that my nice revision timetable has just discovered the meaning of the word 'history.' Over the past few days I've been experimenting with various other browsers and the 'cube' effect. They all failed of course...the problem with 3D browsers is that no-one wants 3dness. Quite frankly, it eats ram and doubles the time it takes to get anything done. I'm all for eye-candy, but not pointless candy...that's like eating sweets without being able to taste them.

Ah well, sooner or later I'll force myself to get back to the less solitary pastimes such as snailing, msning and writing. At least I got this post in...that's a start!!

Stumbling and Spanishing

I learnt another topic...then stumbled a for an hour I learnt my french presentation...then stumbled for an hour. I found the Lord of the Flies ebook...then stumbled for an hour. Stumbling RULEZ!!!

Catchup....REVISION!!

So, over a week since my last post and here I am again, quarter past 11 and typing away. Schools been as usual recently though its gettiing frantic where systems and controll is concerned-my circuit is fail :(

Linux for the win!! I'll hopefully have ubuntu installed this time tomorrow. I tried out KDE pendrive linux, which was cool but also very irritating as it died after a few days of usage and I could not access the hard drives with it.

How to customize bookmarks toolbar favicons: (firefox)
1. Find the site you want to bookmark and copy the URL.
2. Use google images to find the favicon you want to use (best to use small image search) and go to 'see image on its own' or 'see full size image.'
3. On the page that comes up the favicon will be in the address bar - drag it to your bookmarks toolbar and refresh the page
4. Right click on the new bookmark, go to properties and change the destination url to the one you copied earlier. You may also want to rename it.
5. (optional step) use this chrome edit (found it on google) to show just the favicons:

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#bookmarks-ptf toolbarbutton:not([container="true"]) label {
display: none !important;
}
#bookmarks-ptf toolbarbutton:not([container="true"]):hover label {
display: block !important;
}


I discovered stumbleupon last night - it is so unbelievably awesome!! I though it'd be like digg but it's so much better - of the first 10 sites I 'stumbled upon' I bookmarked 7 of them cause they're too good to take in in one go. Really worth checking out...

I resurrected the Lethifold Cult but didn't get too far. Hopefully write some more this weekend, though now with my revision timetable thats gonna be tricky :( bloomin GCSE's

More tomorrow but I gtg sleep!
