In my last blog, I stated that I was working on a secret operation that involved my close family. This is Operation Gold (and Operation Flashpoint that was within Operation Gold). The results of these two ops are coming to fruit tomorrow, with the surprise party of the golden anniversary (50 years married) of my grandparents!!
Obviously, to be a proper surprise party, it's not on their anniversary, but sometime after...
Anyway, what have I been up to the past half-month? Well, University, Work and Personal Life have been all crushing in on me and demanding more and more attention. What with Operation Gold tomorrow, the end of the school term in two weeks, and the creation of my EVE Corp's website (Chaos Industries), I've had more and more things to do.
For EVE, I've finally reached 40 Mil ISK; I'm planning on reaching 100 Mil by Christmas, but we shall see!
For Uni, I've got three assignments to do; one of them is a group project managed by my good friend Rohan Sherrard, the other two are data communications and database systems (the latter being longer then the former).
And of course, we're finishing off Java as well (for Uni). My favourite subject!
Well, sorry to everyone who hasn't been able to read my blog lately. Hat's off to you! And a special mention to Luis Kals, I know he'll want to be somewhere in here (with his famed GOO Cube!)
I'm back to blogging! :)

Reading Week Part 2
The end of reading week has come and gone and I'm now back at Uni. Last week went by quite quickly, and because of a lack of a charger for my university laptop, I was unable to do very much university work.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, therefore, was spent playing EVE or working on my Java projects for work. Friday was spent playing EVE in the morning and working on Java in the afternoon.
Saturday and Sunday were quite unique days in that among my spending time on EVE, I also worked on two secret operations that my close family is working hard to perfect. Although I cannot talk about this (yet) on my Blog, suffice to say that only my family will be affected by the operations. And they aren't medical (the operations I mean, lol).
Monday (yesterday) was slam-dunk back into University. Monday's are always the longest, and yesterday was no exception to that rule.
Oh and I want to add that on EVE, Saturday and Sunday were filled with Mining Ops that I attended. I hoped to be able to stay on for longer then I could, but I had other priorities... Still, they were good fun! And last night, I finally went over 15 MIL Isk. For those of you who play EVE, it's not very much; but I still feel rich!

Reading Week Part 1
This week happens to not only be my brothers birthday, it happens not only to be the week all my brothers break up from their half-term holiday and go back to school, but it also happens to be the week I temporarily take a break from University to work at home instead. Funny that...
So welcome to Reading Week, the zaniest week in the University term.
To start the week off, let's talk about the past weekend. Saturday was, of course, my brother Andrew's birthday. We lounged around in the morning and afternoon, taking a break to open presents. Then we went to lunch/dinner at Pizza Express, and finished the evening out with a bonfire and fireworks display.
The bonfire consisted of a 45-min walk around the village (not the one where I live thought) holding torches, led by a marching band, which of course we didn't take part in. Once the people had returned from their walk around the village, they all gathered around the bonfire and lit it with the torches (which by that time had a nice Guy Fawkes on the top). This was followed by a great fireworks display, which included themed elements and a whopping 250 fireworks fired all at once which literally lit up the sky.
After that we returned home and finished the day off with a movie of Spiderman 3.
Sunday was a day where we just simply stayed at home, and I played EVE Online. EVE Online is an MMORPG with a difference (they all mostly are, aren't they, lol) but EVE has a single living vibrant server and the most unstructured way to play ever. You are basically put into this living world, and told to go on your way. What you do from there is up to you! (I intend to become a trader). Brilliant game!
Monday was spent doing very much the same thing, except I also did some Java work for work and did a little of an assignment.
Until next time!!
