I have asked myself this question today:
Why Blog?
I asked it as I pondered writing a blog; understandably it has been a few days, in fact more than that, and I have been extremely pinned down in a non sexual with all sorts of University work, problems in general and a lot to deal with, but fear not my intense readers; all will be revealed in this here, Post!
The answer to the above question will be below the following rant, and update on my life; feel free to scroll there, but let me advise you, the following is juicyy, perhaps as juicy as recent Action Film and Game releases...
And So It Begins:
We are set our assignment for
Introduction to Programming ... Its pretty intense; we are given a look at what we have to achieve, and the UI for it and then we have to program it, majority of it looks achievable, but there are sections which we deliberately haven't been taught , so we can learn and research them ourselves...
In relation to this, I thought I would further my education and get myself some juicy reading; Visual Basic 2008 for Dummies, with this I could imrpove my overall productivity and understand of VB and research the new methods ... Great plan? Damn straight it's a great plan; but like most great plans in history; it fucked up.
The Problem?
I ordered from my super reliable source on the internet; www.play.com ..
I expected my order a few days ago... It did not come. In fact, it still hasn't come; as I write this I am getting moody over it! (angry face) ...However I do believe the local post are to blame... As my housemate ordered something off of amazon, on first class, which also hasn't arrived. Evidently things are not going well where parcels are concerned.
Project Management in an IT Role...
...is the name of my assignment for one of my modules; we quite simply assigned the role of a project manager surrounding some sort of new technological product which has been delayed due to 'issues' in development, which you must both create, and solve, whilst discussing the ethical, professional and legal issues involved.
Feisty stuff right?
Truth be told, it's been an interesting assignment...but it has taken its toll, and I have been hammered with work recently... I did my assignment on Wireless Power; and focused on the Company WiTricity. I assumed their role, and modified their products, and other products to create a hybrid, which does work. Awesome I know. Anyway, what is time consuming was making individual custom powerpoint templates for a slideshow...
Fuck you Hacker; Damn you Amazon...
Why so angry Jon? Why? Because on Monday morning, per chance I check my emails to see about 5 or 6 from Amazon confirming that I bought some stuff :
Eminem Music
Eminem Music
More Eminem Music
As I am browsing through the emails wondering wtf; I get some more. This shit, Is happening RIGHT NOW?! I am like :| - So I jump on amazon, and change my password. Hacker HALTED! HooHa for me...But the damage is done; Costs accumulating to £60 hit my bank account... I then go and check my basket. The dude was going to buy (ironically) a Firewall... :'( and a Camera. BUT WAIT. Listen to this. The dude whoever they may be, was checking out for discount cameras; at least they had the decency to look for one at a reduced price, so I can save those pennies :)...
In heinsight, If I waited just a little more, they may of put their address in...and I could of caught them! However, this is not the case..And what's done is done.
Sigh.
I somehow had my account compromised; How it happened was beyond me.
BANG! HAVING FRUIT THIS MORNING. WHAT HAPPENS; FILLING COMES OUT; RESULT?
FUCK YOU FILLING
...also FML.
So I take a trip to the dentist...Dentist shut. FML. So go chemist to get some form which, as a student allows me to claim cash back for things like dental and such...Turns out the form is assessed and because I get the full student loan I would probably not get the cash back...Forking out £100ish is not going to be fun after the damage already placed on my bank account.
And to top it all off.. And don't worry; its quick.
The Hairdresser Butchered my hair.
The End...
...to the bad things, at least I hope so.
On the good side, Having many giggles with my girlfriend recently, and we played Top Trumps; just the two of; about whats bad and good about eachother.Sweet.

Now; Why Blog?
Well, I find it quite healing to do so, I get to rant about my life and its surroundings, and its somewhere to share things. Even If people don't read it.
Anyway.
Good Day Good People.
