ill...london and liverpewl
After reconnecting to the internets after 4 nights away i discovered just under 2000 feeds to read...luckily 900 were from snails so i could delete all of them...ended up doing the same to digg.
Half term was great-saw lots of relatives, including the two baby cousins (who weren't scared of me :) lots of driving, made a snazzy video and a wrock medley, though that still needs some work.
I now own a fully-legal copy of the download manager 'getright' it was almost completely free, using the trialpay service. I chose the ebay offer, and then bought and ebook for 13p...though it was in dollars so cost me £1.50 conversion :( however it was worth it-£1.63 for something thats usually around £20!! It's really useful-especially for monitoring bandwidth usage. I'm now trying to get roboform but the link keeps failing.
I've been off ill today...recovered and I'm glad I took the day off but feel a bit of a bum.
Drying up calls....

Swimming and Spanish
That darn language seems to figure far too much in these posts. But it's the only work I've done all day unless you count watching jimmyr's torrent video and pointlessly following tips and tweaks to speed up xp. Ooh and trying to get vmware player to work on laptop...
I got this timer thing in a vague attempt to get a better ratio of work to play but it's not gonna happen yet :( its hard working when you're 2 clicks away from the wonders of the web.
This scribefire thing is great though! Saves having to go onto blogger to update-all done from any site whatsoever. Some other add-ons I got last night include flashbloker, imglikeopera and script blocker. This is in a vague attempt to save bandwidth but its a pain in the arse to have to keep enabling scripts...why do people insist on using so much java??!!
Just searched for 'pimp firefox' and one of the pages involves that game where 22 idiots kick a piece of leather up and down an empty space...ooh that was scathing. The game football is ok so long as it's not taken too seriously (i.e. violence, watch every match of every team, stupidly large salaries etc) I could do with joining a football team but it just feels so pointless. Anti-social laptop time all the way!!

Saturday of Speaking Questions
Right now I'm just getting down to some french spanish cause that's my first exam.
Several hours later and its done...all 12 questions or whatever. It took an age to get started but I'm finally done with the first topic, only 3 to go...Then french then systems coursework then music composition. At least I've made a start!!
Still haven't found a solution to my sku111.cab error every time I start up office :( it's a right pain in the arse...Hopefully protonic.com can help me out somewhat as I do not want to take it to the college IT department.
Might be off up the beacon in a minute. At least I've cleaned up the firefox context menu so that it doesn't crash whenever I right click!

Parents Evening=LOTFlies
Yup, basically every teacher talked about how we needed to 'button down' and get some revision done. English teacher has got dad telling me to read lord of the flies every time he sees me (frequently!) and Bio teacher talked millions about revision 'techniques.' Apparently staring at the book doesn't count...strange seeing as that got me some decent marks in my modules.
Laptop died just as I'd got the vista customization perfect :( so now it's back to ye old xp, I'm just grateful that it's stable. At least prism is nice and sparkly at the moment! Ooh apparently meebo isn't working...
That'll have to do (3 hours later!) Just spent an age pimping gmail.

College depression
What a shock it was last night to remember that I had college today...ah well its over now and none till after half term!! Made a bit more progress-cut up piece of metal with the lathe.
Just copied a ton of wrock to my phone-the greatest music of all time :) and now I'm installing LOTRBFME2. The sidebar I got yesterday is brilliant-Ive just got 4 prism icons for gmail, facebook, meebo and google reader but it looks shiny. Prism isn't really that great-just a firefox window without the navigation bars but there you go. Asides from that the day hasn't really begun yet, hopefully do something tomorrow with will though.
I really should perhaps start on some proper GCSE revision today but it's hard getting down to it even though its not that bad once I've started.
