I’ve just launched a new page where I intend to showcase my pick of the crop in terms of good, free software worthy of installing. Check it out here.
Currently, my recommended programs are CCleaner, Spybot S&D, Messenger Plus! and GiFFY.
Edit – I’ve also been busy completing my Blogger Profile and updating my Archive system!
Presumably as some kind of reward for doing that ICT coursework I blogged about yesterday, I got to spend a few hours this afternoon with the systems administrator for my school. While it’s somewhat heart-breaking to watching someone joyfully disable every single system privilege they could possibly disable, I’m glad they’ve got someone who understands security.
Well I say that, but 10 minutes after I was asked to test a new group policy, I discovered I could access the documents of every single user on the network. And install programs. Whoops!
Anyway, I’m now almost homework-free for the weekend. Hopefully I won’t do anything stupid, like waste this precious time blogging to no-one 
Actually, I really must watch these Matrix DVDs a neighbour lent me. (Yeah that’s right, I missed most of the Matrix hype, only catching the first film on DVD years after it came out.)
Oh, and on Sunday Messenger Plus!, a brilliant add-on to Windows and MSN Messenger which allows you, amongst a huge bundle of extra options, to check POP3 email accounts, releases a new version. Download and enjoy!
I’ve just completed and uploaded my mammoth, 44 page Spreadsheet coursework for ICT that’s worth 15% of my final grade. There are 4 projects like this, and I’ll be cracking on with the 3rd – Databases – next week.
Fairly tired, especially considering last night I wrote a 7 page essay on the women in “An Inspector Calls.” It’s a good thing I’m fond of the play, otherwise I might have been thumping my head into the keyboard by the end.
No rest for me though – there’s Humanities homework to do and more just on the horizon. Still, I’m hugely glad for being fairly on top of it all.
If I wasn’t lucky enough to have a computer in my room – I’d be dead.
Good night
A good MSN friend of mine is in the middle of re-making his website (for
about the 50th time, but we’ll let that pass and it looks wonderful. Do
check out http://www.geocities.com/willfd89, partly because he gave my website a rating of 10/10 for update due to this very blog. Thanks!
Still very much under construction – but I love the design.
Yesterday I spent a very enjoyable day at the John Lewis distribution centre at Park Royal, with a great tour around their amazing warehouse. Think ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ but without chocolate John Lewis are, of course, a partnership (each employee is referred to as a ‘partner’ and get a share of the profits) which strikes me as a much better and fairer way of running a company that the usual style.
Anyway, this weekend would be a great way to relax if I didn’t already have so much homework. Cya…
