http://www.spcook.co.uk Home of Simon Cook Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:45:10 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Just got this update literally a minute ago, and it confused me... what the hell, my gmail looks different. It appears theres now themes built into it, which seem to be just like iGoogle themes. There are 31 themes at the moment, and I have screenshotted a few for you ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/11/19/new-gmail-themes/ Let's write something marginally interesting then shall we. Last Wednesday I went to play a couple of hours of Laser Question with some of the CSS. This was probabily the best time that I have had in a long time. I haven't really got my score cards with me at ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/11/19/laser-questing/ Now, I've finally fixed the problem (sort of, it publishes half the time but it should work now) but this now means that a month of blogging has come back to life. Enjoy the comment spam Skillers ;) http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/11/08/holy-flip-im-back/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/3277826/Student-wrecks-Mini-in-Italian-Job-prank.html Now really, this is really stupid. Personally, I think that people who do this should be banned from driving for ages, not that that will stop them. Some people just don't care. A £10,000 new car?!?!? What the fuck?!?! Why on earth would someone be that stupid? I mean come on, ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/11/03/really-don%e2%80%99t-drink-and-drive/ Now really, this is something that could be taking the metaphorical piss, exam today. We had three hours to do it in, and it was well, done in about 20 minutes, and half an hour in the room was half empty. Now exams that easy, worry me a little, because ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/11/03/piece-of-pish-exam/ So this is why noone has been commenting then is it, because the publish button is broken, well now I have discovered this magic problem, hopefully it will be fixed in one update or another, and this is what people like me get for beta testing web software now isn't ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/10/30/so-this-is-why-you-aint-commenting/ Well, I haven't really blogged in over two weeks, and well, noones commented in the last month, so something must seriously be wrong. I'll look into that later. Anyway, incase anyone actually is listening, well reading, this is what the last month has really been like. Great. That's it, but yeah ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/10/27/one-month-on%e2%80%a6/ Right, well I'm back and well, writing this just before I fall asleep or something, so apologies if I just die half way through this blog post. I am back, I have fought, and I have conquered (sleep deprivation). Anyway, to sum it all up in one word, it was ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/10/11/fresher%e2%80%99s-ball/ Ok, that's almost depressing already, one week gone already, Jesus Christ, there's only 24 teaching weeks in the year and ones gone already?!?!?! Man, time flies fast. Wait, two years has gone since writing that sentence, naa just an exaggeration of sorts. But yeah, woo awesome week of first lectures and ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/10/10/week-down/ Well, thats one day down lol! Only two trillian to go. Naa, actually I found todays lectures to be quite interesting, even though they were basically just the classic "welcome to unit XXXXnnnnn" of whatever you want to call them. My Procedural Programming work was interesting, we're just going to ... http://www.spcook.co.uk/blog/2008/10/06/first-day-of-lectures/
