I want this to be a positive post. There's too much negative going on at this very moment and I want to ignore that as of now.

Positive: I'm going to fucking Dragon*Con. My pass arrived today. hotel and flights are booked and paid for, only thing left to sort is the train.
Due to a minor cock up, I've ended up in a double...

My head hurts. I think it's due to a few things:
1) I've just been debating the pros and cons of differing operating systems. Very geeky.
2) I hit my head on a shelf.
3) Wife and I had a disagreement over me going to Dragon*Con.

Dragon*Con is the largest scifi and fantasy convention in the world. I've wanted to go to a for years,...

So, tomorrow is the last day of term, finally. There's a part of me that knows that it's actually a really short term, compared to school or college, but the work loads aren't comparable.
Yesterday we had a timed assignment in Java, I think I managed to do enough to pass. Today we had an assignment hand in, again, I think that's gone OK. I...

Grr.

So, my uni course is going well, except for the fact that I'm finding the Java and Professional Issues modules hard. Hard to the point where I actually left the classroom today and had I found a quiet place I probably would have broken down and cried. I just feel so stupid sat in those classes.

Oh, and then there's next year. I have...

So you may have read the interview with JC Hutchins about his new book launch. (for those that didn't, 7th Son is about human cloning and vendettas gone wild, it was originally released 3 years ago in podcast format.) JC was offering up rewards for people that were buying multiple copies, ranging from signed CDs, limited edition books, etc etc. This went right the way...

So today, I did the whole "work for cash" thing. It was nice to get paid for something I created, even if I'm not that enamoured with the final product (the client gets what the client wants, right?).

After finishing I went and spent some time with an old friend. She's a real fucking cutie. And she's tattooed and pierced.

Yes, I am going to...

It's been nearly a week, so I thought best to post something up.

I'm shattered. Due to me needing to clear my head last night, I stayed up till about 4am. I then woke up at 6:30 to get ready to drop my wife in to her job for 8, before having to drive myself to uni (my lift is not able to drive atm)....

I think I've mentioned that I'm a student, studying web design. What does this mean?

It means three days a week I go and sit in a room with 12 other people and get talked to about stuff I already know, or stuff I have no interest in. It means I turn up when I'm told to, I hand assignments in on time and I...

So why join SG?

I first discovered the site years ago. I'm not sure how long ago, or how I found it, but found it, I did. I know that I did have my first tattoo and piercings at the time. The girls were hot, no doubting that, and I was drawn to the site. But for some reason, I didn't stick. Probably a jealous...

So, I reckon this first post should be about me.

I'm phyber. I'm a 26 year old mature student, studying Web Technology in Cornwall, UK. I love living here, it's an amazingly beautiful place, that I too often take for granted.

I'm married, with no children, but a springer spaniel, who is batshit insane.

I absorb a lot aurally - music, podcasts, audio books. As...
