Right, so I’d better type something
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here. Nevertheless, I’m going to type up some of what I’ve been doing and stuff, since otherwise this entire thing is a complete waste of time. So there.
It’s been an interesting couple of weeks. Spent last week down in Plymouth with Sarah generally having a good time and chilling out a bit after the exams. Went to see some ships in harbour (they’re big) and went to see a load of other neat, but inevitably pointless and extremely touristy things. So yes, I left on Sunday - which wasn’t fun - but the journey was okay so I guess that’s one small mercy.
The rest of this week has been spent, for the most part, sitting in this chair coding like a proper coder monkey. I’m pretty much finished with my current project, which must be finished by the end of next week really. It also means that I’ll be having some money come in fairly soon, which is never a bad thing. It’s given my new backend a very good testing, and I have to say that it’s come up trumps - well worth all of the effort I put into it in the first place.
Other than all of that? Well, eating and sleeping have been pretty high on the list of things to kill time. I have to say that I must have been coding for between 8 and 10 hours every day this week, so there’s not been a lot of time for anything else - this blog included. However, I did have a bit of a chance to read Harry Potter, which I was fairly disappointed with. Perhaps it’s just me, but the entire thing was just one massive anti-climax.
Hopefully, with this big project out of the way in a few days, I should be able to return to regular updates on here. There’s certainly a number of things I want to fix on here, and also implement some new features if I can be bothered. A couple of improvements on the layout front wouldn’t go amiss, and perhaps a new style if I’m feeling really ambitious. To be honest, I’m just looking forward to my hosts installing PHP 5 on here - at the moment, it’s only available as a CGI option which I’m not liking too much.
This also reminds me; I have to add a feature for auto-acronyms. Bugger.
Anyway, since it is now ridiculous o’clock and I have to get up in the morning, I shall stop here. Another update tomorrow, perhaps. Or perhaps not.
PS: I’m off to Ireland (maybe) on the 12th. Any offers of drinking would be appreciated muchly. Ta.
