post“Have you got a court appearance?” - Me - 30th March
I have a suit!

Yes, a real jacket and trousers and everything. Never owned a suit before, never really needed one I guess. But, what with graduation and job interviews (hahahhahahha) ever aproaching I thought it would be a good idea. Its nothing fancy, just a topman off the peg one but I like it.

I did have my heart set on a dark blue one with a light pin-stripe but then Kerry pointed out (in her infinite wisdom) that it wasn’t very practical. I agreed in and went for the nice and stylish plain black. I can also now play reservoir dogs whenever I want to.

postBling Blinging - Technology - 30th March

I bought a cheapo red transparent case for my t610 a few weeks ago from the US. It was something silly like $8 which at todays exchange rate is pretty cheap. Anyhoo, it arrived yesterday and I set about dissecting my phone with some help from howardsforums. Took be about thirty minutes just to get one particularly cunning part off but I got ithe new fascia installed in the end and its very bling bling:

Ok, I admit, it looks a little tacky. But its mainly to stop me scratching the original nice shiny metal cover with my keys etc.

postThird Reich Ruins - Links - 25th March

Fascinating site based on a an american guys father’s pictures of nazi Germany as it was invaded by the Allies. He does lots of ‘then and now’ comparisons. Some of the proposed plans for nazi monuments are amazing in their scope and size.

postla la la - University - 18th March

Term 2 was over last Friday. Thankfully we don’t have lectures in term 3, but exams in April and my dissertation to finish :( I’ve now got four weeks off for ‘easter’. Edinburgh’s definition of easter always makes me laugh, bearing absolutely no relation to the actual holiday.

I was planning my exam timetable today and worked out I have at least five days per module, which is fine (I hope). As long as I get started next Monday and don’t stop. After exams its gonna be a squeeze to get my project finished, I’ll do noubt end up doing bits and bobs inbetween revison.
