Of illness, films and Linux

Last night Rachel, Kirk and I decided to go to the cinema to see some films before we all went home for Easter. The first one we went in for was the animated film Robots. As expected, this was a family Easter feel good experience, and for me at least it didn’t disappoint. There were […]

Monday at Warped

Its Monday night, it’s just gone 11am, it’s Warped at the Burlington! (or rather was). As usual I have just returned from the antics of the notorious science fiction society. Rachel decided not to go this week (being sensible and deciding to do lab work instead) so I left on my own. Upon arrival I […]

Blackpool

Today was Warped’s annual trip to Blackpool, and what fun there was to be had… The day started off sunny and rather warm for this time of year, so much so that I enjoyed a quiet walk to the nearest cash machine to draw out some money and grab some chocolate from the newsagent. Just […]

Third year projects

The third year projects list for my degree course was released today, and seeing as I’m almost certainly not taking a year out for industrial experience next year I’ll be going into my final year instead and have to choose a project which will be worth 25% of my degree. So far I’ve eliminated a […]

Crazy day

Today has been even more crazy than the usual events in the life of Mr Waring. The day started as normal, with the usual three hours of lectures. Algorithms was good because I found out that tomorrow’s lecture is cancelled and therefore I can go home at 4pm rather than at 5pm, which is cool. […]

Ruddigore and other amusements

Once again, the past few days have been rather amusing and interesting in various ways… On Thursday I had to trapse all the way back to Bury for the first time in ages (I haven’t been home for quite a while) as BT were doing some work on the phone lines and I wanted to […]

So far this week

This week has been pretty busy already, and I’m only two days in… Monday was the usual lecture madness, although fortunately I didn’t have to stay behind to 5pm for software engineering because that’s every other week. Fortunately we moved on to a new topic in databases (at last, no more keys/normalisation!) although said topic […]

Cinema fun

Last night I went with Cez and Rachel to The Filmworks to watch a couple of movies. We got in free for Criminal because of Rachel’s divine influence (or perhaps the fact that she works there), which was most amusing because the only people who actually went to that screening were us and another member […]

Past two days

The past couple of days have been somewhat eventful. First off yesterday we had the usual shennanigans at Warped, although attendance was unusually high, partially due to the DSVR mob plus Justine was up from Brighton. The Burlington antics were fairly standard—as always there was a group playing pool, another group complaining about work (just […]

It’s just a jump to the left

It was a fairly busy day for me yesterday, didn’t wake up until about 11am (thanks to being up until 3am on UA, really must stop doing that… :), then crawled out of bed about half an hour later because I was tired but realised I couldn’t go back to sleep as I had things […]
