– Joshua lent me the fantastic Animals DVD, Ricky Gervais’ first stand up show. It’s better than Politics, especially the section on Genesis.

– I started my final bit of ICT Coursework, Website Design! What made me splutter, though, was the requirements for a Standard and Extension project. Let me explain…

This afternoon, rather unhelpfully, my wireless connection suddenly died. No amount of rebooting, either of the router or PC, was making any difference. The poor little access point was simply not picking any network up.

Well, welcome to 2005. It’s going to be a pretty important year for me (yeah, GCSEs) the country – General Elections! Even the world will experience big things in 2005, but then that’s really true each year, isn’t it?

The holiday has obviously been muted by the terrible disaster in Asia. However, the response from everyone around the world has been incredible. It has shown that a globally connected community is a good thing. The problem now is not lack of cash, or raising awareness, but the difficulties of physically getting aid to the region.

I’ve been updating my version of the plugin and, unfortunately, you will now have to re-subscribe to email updates from this blog using the form at the bottom of this page. The good news is that this is the last time you’ll ever have to – as the terms have changed. I can now see the email addresses of everyone who has subscribed and will automatically re-sign you up if I upgrade again.

(Don’t subscribe if you aren’t happy about this, although I promise not to share any addresses with any third party, as usual.)

Although I’m not really sorry – it is Christmas after all and I’ve got things to do! Why bore you with the fact I went to the dentist (true) when I could be having fun (true) and learning how to partition TARDIS – I even installed Windows 3.11 on it the other day (also true!)

Basically, I’ll get back blogging properly when I go back to school, get given loads of stuff to do and use it as a way of avoiding homework. Happy Holidays!

P.S. The comment spam continues, but my defences are working a treat. Mwhaha!
