I've been working my ass off on the tonbschl website this past couple of days. That, and watching lots of television and eating lots of food. But that's to be expected. Anyway, I hesitantly say 'It's nearly finished!', having only three things left to do. Yay!
Then it'll just be a case of sending it to Tonbridge, them looking at it and saying 'Bah, it's crap, go fix it', me spending another few months on it and then complaining bitterly when they don't give me money. Yay.
Saw Plunkett and Maclane last night. Fun film. Elfie had some friends over from London... pretty sure they kept the neighbours awake till 3ish. And woke them up again at 10ish. Apart from Tristan, he's still asleep. We were up till 5.30 this morning, me working on tonbschl and writing l33t rooms for his mud, full of Motnitroats and their midget prostitute spouses, him fixing stuff that I said was broken :)

I have finally finished the ts website!
I'm afraid I can't point you at it yet, it's got to the "Ok, here's your website, I've done what you wanted. This is what you wanted, right?" stage. We still have a few to go before the website goes live and I can show you:
It has taken away most of the free time over the past 3 years of my life.
I need to get out more.

- No, that's not what we want. We wanted one page with the address on it and the logo in the corner.
- No you don't. You want this. Go on.
- Oh, ok then, if you insist.
- Neato. Now, where's my money?
- What money?

The new-look Tonbridge School website just went live!
There's also a WAP version of the website (any of the urls will take you to that if you're using a WAP browser, try http://tonbridge-school.co.uk if you're interested). Woo.
Accidentally dropped the wrong table though, so the events section will be a little bare till I get all the data loaded back, but apart from that, it all seems to be working :)
Just making some CD backups of the work I've done on it; 4 CDs and counting...

Fire fighters are going to strike, the government's saying it's dangerous and irresponsible. Thing is, fire-fighters earn between £16,941 and £21,531 per year. On average, nurses are on around £23k PA, as is a police constable who has been in the job for 5 years. Compare that to the tube drivers, who are always complaining about how they aren't being paid enough. They get £28,000 per year. Compare the training requirements and skills, strains and the risks of the two jobs... Thing is, tube drivers go on strike and the government says 'oh no, our poor businessmen, must sort it out'. But at worst, these strikes are an inconvenience at worst. If any of the vital services try to go on strike, immediately people's welbeing is put at risk. I say if it's a vital service, they should be getting more money anyway...
Thank god that under this government we'll see the biggest ever sustained increase in NHS spending and more nurses. Oh, what's that, they've been in for 5 years? Never mind, at least they bombed the crap out of some random country to rid the world of another non-capitalist government. You know, one type of bomb they drop costs more for one than they pay 6 nurses in a year...
Anyway, this is very cool :)

Today, I Bought Stuff
22nd October 2002 at 17:15Comment
Today, I bought a tumble dryer. This is important, because if you put clothes in a washing machine, they will come out wet. Almost as wet as outside, where our clothes line is. This is the interesting thing about our clothes line, that it's outside, since we're on the first floor, or, for those of you who are American (like this guy - NO! YOU DID NOT FIX OUR LANGUAGE, YOU STOLE IT, BROKE IT THEN TRIED TO PERSUADE THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT IT WAS BETTER!), the second floor. And for those of you english people I have confused (sorry, Stu), the first floor is the one above the ground floor, and the ground floor is the one on the ground, with the front door and stuff.
So anyway, we need a tumble dryer, since the guy I live with but don't name wants a cat, and cats go outside and get wet and then come inside and make the carpet and chairs wet, so if we do get a cat and it goes outside and gets wet, we can dry it in the tumble dryer so the carpet and chairs will be dry. And we've been at uni for about a month now, and my clothes are starting to smell, so I think I should wash them soon.
Which leads me on to the next things I bought. My clothes, socks especially, are starting to smell, and my trousers were getting very dirty. So, rather than wash them, I thought I'd buy some new ones. Socks always get lost in washing machines and tumble dryers, and trousers are just too damned hard to wash. So I bought two pairs of trousers and 3 pairs of socks - that'll last me a couple of months, easy.
One pair of trousers is neat, there are pockets on the side of the legs, which is useful because it means I have to lean over and/or pull up my trouser leg in order to get anything out of, or put anything into, the aforementioned pockets. It also means that I can't keep my hand on the pocket in busy bustly crowds to stop bad people from taking things from it.
Well, anyway, time for work.

I just realised that I'll probably never actually get round to moving this site onto USML, so I'll probably never add features to this site. So I went and added a little 'Link' link to each diary entry. Now I can link back to old entries in my diary, and if you're one of those boring people who's jumped upon the blog bandwagon, you can link to my interesting diary (note: online diary, not blog, goddamit, I'm original. And stuff...) entries.
Yeh, I don't really know why I did it either.
Oh, and I finally added my recipe for a tasty pasta meal to my Guide to Cooking, added Radiac's Helpful Driving Hints to my Guide to Driving.

Search Engine Referals
23rd October 2002 at 15:42Comment
It's that time of the month again, the time when I go looking through my logs. And once again, we've got rather a mixed bag.
Let's start off well... a page on radiac.net is the only one returned by a Google search for 'fux0r j00 b14ch' (incidentally, the page is also top for 'sux0r h4x0r', an amazing 2nd for 'f4g0t', and 4th for j00 sux0r)...
And once again, there are the results that make me go 'How the hell do these freaks a) not get arrested b) get to my site with these searches?!:
Still, it's good to know that there are still some people out there with a decent taste in music, with referals for 'maybe tomorrow i'll want to settle down' and 'there's a voice that keeps on calling me' (see Satanic Songs).
And, of course, the ones that comes up every time, 'sex underwater' and 'underwater sex'.
Soon I'll make a page with exciting search stats on it. That'll be fun, won't it, kids.
Oh, and by the way, in case I forgot to mention it when I did it (which I'm certain I did), I did a crap wap site on wap.radiac.net ages ago. I'll do more to it eventually.
Well, I guess that now I should go downstairs and help the landlord change the cooker...

I'm sitting in my databases lecture. hmm.
Decided to bring my psion. Thought it would make it a more productive hour. Looks like I was right...
Only downside is that this is probably costing me 35p/min.
He's talking about mySQL and PHP.
On second thoughts, think I might go to sleep...

radiac is designed for reliability and performance

I'm sitting in the library again. My choice of things to do is rather limited; I can surf the internet (woo), spod on the talkers I frequent (woo), check my email (woo, I have recieved 2 emails today!), and/or make a diary entry.
I guess I could do work, but heheheh whatever.
So I shall make a diary entry. FWIW, I started it at about 4.20.
Here's a joke from Woody of TR3:
Hmm, decided to do a halloween theme for radiac.net, then decided against it because I'm lazy.
Keep MSNing the guy I dont name with the message 'boreed'. He'll probably get upset soon.
Oooh... just found this... 'Search on Google by voice with a simple telephone call'. You ring up a number, say your query and your browser returns the results... Useful or what! I was thinking that when I stumbled across
You know, Google has some pretty cool stuff... hope this makes the main site...
I'm trawling stumbleupon.com for some decent sites... this entertained me for a while.
Oooh, I've just noticed I can do this weirdish peaky thing with the skin over my knuckles.
Heheheh, it stands up, as long as I keep my finger straight.
Ok, back to the top stumblers... this looks neat, but can't be bothered to install whatever it wants me to install...
The person I dont name just made me set a redirection from where his old website was (sites.uzeweb.com) to where it is now (some random american host). Bit cheeky if you ask me...
Ahhh, Dumb Laws. This should keep me amused for a while.
Hmm, seems I was wrong. Worth a look though.
More I think about it, more I think it would be a good idea to do a halloween design.
Oooh, appears I have coursework due in on Friday. And a test on Friday. Aaaargh.
And now I'm chatting on the BUNCS IRC chatroom, using mIRC.
Googlism is quite fun... comes back with some classics like 'radiac is a permitted hazardous waste storage facility under regulation to the nys department of environmental conservation', 'radiac is great to use separately in conjunction with the wet cell' and 'radiac is designed for reliability and performance'. Heheheh. Also says 'richard is a very sexy man', 'richard is a big time baseball prospect' and 'richard terry is reader in english at the university of sunderland'... wish someone had told me...
Yay, 10 minutes left!
Yay, 9 minutes left!
Hmm, this screen still isn't doing anything interesting.

This guy wakes up one morning to find a gorilla in his tree. He looks in the phone book for a gorilla removal service until he finds one. "Is it a boy or girl Gorilla?" the service guy asks. "Boy," is the man's response. "Oh yeah, I can do it. I'll be right there", says the service guy.Yay.
An hour later the service guy shows up with a stick, a Chihuahua, a shotgun, and a pair of handcuffs.
He then gives the man some instructions: "Now, I'm going to climb this tree and poke the gorilla with the stick until he falls. When he does, the trained Chihuahua will bite the gorilla's testicles off.
The gorilla will then cross his hands to protect himself and allow you to put the handcuffs on him."
The man asks, "What do I do with the shotgun?"
The service guy replies, "If I fall out of the tree before the gorilla, shoot the Chihuahua."

A Warm Welcome To Viking Direct!
31st October 2002 at 14:53Comment
Bought 3 chairs from Viking Direct for me, Elfie and Jason. Have made mine, and it's a lot nicer than the other crappy wood thing I had. It's also

very blue.
I think it's probably fairly sad that this has been the best thing that's happened to me this week...
Have finished the first bit of coursework - argh. First four-line formula I've ever written out... But we had the best lecturer ever... for part of it, we had to convert sentences into a first order language, then into prenex normal form, then into skolem form, then into clausal form. Anyway, one of the sentences was 'George must be eliminated unless Alice only saw one kangaroo'. I would write my answer out, but I think it's wrong, and everyone at my uni who reads this would laugh..
