Back at University

For my third year! Once again, I will be studying the sacred art of Internet Computing; working out how to make programs that can run successfully over a Wide Area Network; how businesses use these programs to further their own means; and how a good clear, clean-cut user interface benefits everyone in the end.

The third year is full of surprises! Not only do we have our third year project, which we are asked to spend no less then ten hours a week on, but we also have to choose four of our subjects out of a list. So I will of course be thinking a lot over the next week as to what subjects I am going to take.

As for concentrating my next blog post on my holiday... I have recently looked over my very descriptive review of Valencia and decided I am unable to meet that at all. Therefore, I am hoping for better success in my next holidays. Perhaps then I might actually right a diary instead of ignoring it!

Anyway, moving back to the present, I want to point out that following the complete and utter failure of my Sony Vaio's motherboard, I am dumping Sony and going for a Desktop computer. It should arrive within the next few weeks and then I'll post screenies and info on it and all it's glory! It will be grand!! More on that to come.

For now though, I've not got much else to say. Hopefully this year at Uni will be just as successful as the previous years!!

Website Into PHP

Just a quick blog post to announce my Jarada Productions website's move into PHP! Not only does this mean that my entire website has entered the wonderful world of Object Oriented gooiness, it also means that it will make editing my website a whole lot easier and more fun! So look out for increased updates to my website in the near future!

I've also introduced a reCaptcha on my contact page which will help push off any spam email that some people have been sending my way. I only want real people getting in contact with me who actually want to speak some sense...

Anyhow, that's it for now. Speak to you soon!

Into September

OK, so the thing about that offline diary I said in my last blog post... is that we were actually very, very busy. I didn't really get very much time off at all, far too little to write a diary. So for now, I think I will simply get round to posting a one-post review of my holiday, and posting up some pictures of it all.

Anyway, since I've got back I've been quite busy doing quite a few other things, including sorting out a replacement for my iPhone (which I stupidly and accidentally dropped in a lake in Disneyland Paris off the top of a boat), trying to fix my Sony Vaio (which has decided it doesn't like working anymore and has gone on strike), and catching up with various online websites which I neglected over the holiday (such as this one).

That said, at the time of writing, I only have around 17 days left until the end of my holiday. You can see the countdown timer on my main blog page to the right; it's slowly counting down to zero! As such, I have been preparing vigoursly to ensure that I am ready for my Uni when that day comes. I will need to re-enrol, and have my project analysed and informally designed. I know what it's going to contain now at least, it's just getting that down from the disorganised mess in my brain to an organised list on some paper somewhere (be that electronic or otherwise).

I am of course hoping (still) to get into far more regular posting, and to that degree I will be looking for an iPhone-based app or similar in order to allow me to think up blog posts while I am on the move. This will hopefully provide me with a platform from which I can create these blog posts while I am on the train to and from Uni, for example.

Anyway, I will leave this blog for now so I can concentrate my next blog post on my holiday to Paris/Barcelona that I have just gone past. So, until then!
