Home of the Dutch Gecko

Hmm, two decades. I dunno, seems like a while to me. Luckily I’ve been busy enough to keep me away from this site, so at least I’m over the initial shock now. But still… I’m twenty! What do I do?

It seems the best thing to do is blog, and write Ada. Well, not any more, since the assessment is now truly finished and I won’t need to touch the language again until the third year, when we use it for programming a real-time system. Yup, we do all sorts here…

So, Ada was done, I took a well-earned weekend FragSoc break with my housemates, and then I started the next piece of work - doing a literature survey. I finished it today. I still don’t know what a literature survey is. But in any case when I’ve fixed my linux partition I’ll be putting both code and drivel on this site for all to enjoy.

Of course, any project that takes more than three days must go hand in hand with some awesome procrastination, and Ada didn’t disappoint. I have two photos and the very small beginnings of a PHP-based CMS which I plan to one day install on a snazzy VPS like SliceHost, along with a new snazzy domain to keep me happy. If you want to make me a very happy man, either buy me a few years’ worth of that stuff or give me a job that’ll let me pay it off. And gives me enough spare time to finish the PHP.

Stuff that is awesome:

1. Mountain Dew, especially the new cherry flavour
2. Ubuntu 7.04
3. Procrastination
4. Laid back guitar music

Stuff that is not awesome:

1. Exams
2. Broken headphones
3. Procrastination
4. Untidy room
