Life goes on

I'm up to my eyes in actionscript at the moment, and its not pretty. I'm in the middle of writing a function called 'binTwosFractionParserFromBoxes', and as it implies, I'm not exactly having the time of my life. But hey, it's work, so I can't complain.

As far as targets go, I'm waay behind. This is the project that started 6 months late. It's a set of 21 activities, and I figure I should be able to get through one a day now, but I've been at the same one for the past ...

Expensive Money

Well, that was the most expensive £30 I've ever spent.

Accidentally put the wrong card into a cash machine last month, and took out £30 on my credit card instead of my debit card. At least I won't have to pay much interest on that, I thought to myself. I was wrong - it ended up costing £4.

Hello, 2006

I am now back on broadband, and as promised I will now provide you with my start-of-the-year entry, even if it is two days late.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everybody!

I've tried sending some texts, but as usual the mobile network is ridiculously busy. Still on GPRS, but this time from Cornwall - when time and connection permits, I'll come back and do another entry with the usual. But for now, may the new year hold much joy and happiness for you all, and may all your dreams come true. Unless your dreams contain themes of paedophilia or bestiality.

Happy new year!

Mmmmm, chocolate

Hi there. I'm still here. Haven't been run over by a tractor or eaten by an eagle - I have been sitting quietly, recovering from the excessive feasting and chocolate consumption, and have been doing a bit of work. I've been a bit quiet because I haven't used the internet much, due to being on an expensive mobile connection.

Being on the top of one of the highest hills in the area, we've been hit by the recent snow a bit. Not as bad as east Kent, but still, it's been up to a couple ...
