A few things to catch up on since the last blog…
The head of school is back on Monday so the things mentioned in the password protected posts should start to move along from the 31st. There seem to be people who we barely know coming out of woodwork to give support and to quote someone [...]

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

I do love the new PG Tips advert

Also, I’m fed up of mistyping mediaguy.co.uk nearly every time with medaiguy.co.uk (because my left hand and right hand hit the keys at the same time) so they both now work.

Easter

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

My tummy hurts… but at least it’s better news than the last two blog posts.
Hotel Chocolat has come to Southampton and they do some fantastic chocolate. With that chocolate comes fantastic Easter Eggs. With Easter Eggs comes my hugh eyes and medium sized stomach. Yummy, but I really should pace myself more.
My Easter Egg on [...]

Spam

Monday, March 17th, 2008

By the looks of the mail-return emails I’m getting this morning (about 40 so far) I’ve had a spammer send lots of email out @mediaguy.co.uk.
I promise it isn’t me!

Latest progress with C#

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

I’m starting to get somewhere with C# now.
I started learning this language with learnvisualstudio.net, a video-on-demand type site that shows you how to do things.  It is good and gets you started very quickly but doesn’t really explain much. I’ve coupled this with with a For Dummies book and a Microsoft Base Class Library book [...]

Allowed to learn?

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Everyone in IT got an email today saying that ISS aren’t allowed to have personal websites on www.soton.ac.uk/~username. I used to use mine for silly little things like practising php, hosting funny (but fully legal) files and putting large files that are too big to email for other people to download. Apparently this is too [...]

Funny stats

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

You find google doing some strange things when you search for as much as I do, but one of my flickr account statistics made me find out that a google search for
archos web browser
Doesn’t actually bring the Archos web browsing plugin as the number one result. The number one result is actually my Flickr photo [...]
