BNL 1 Hosted on Zooomr I’ve just got back from seeing the barenaked ladies live with an old friend in the Southampton guildhall. They were awesome. Truly the last post until after the exams now.

Forthcoming GCSE examinations.
This is going to be the last post until June the 25th. My GCSE exams are starting next month and contininuing at an alarming pace until late June. Lots of stress and less sleep than optimum, so I’m going to be studying as much as I can for the next few months. After that I’ve …
My OSX powertools.
This is a post devoted to the ‘little things’ that make using OSX fun for me. A long overdue last article for the week in apps series. My Adium set up: as you can see this offers little clue as to who’s online apart from their avatar(display picture, buddy icon etc.) However, I find that …
The Real Reason BT Phone Boxes are dying out.
I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the popularity of mobile phones. It’s how insanely expensive it is to phone them. £1.40 to make a two calls, one that went to answerphone.

In Germany
After a 4am start on wednesday, and a long journey- I’m (and have been for the past few days) in Germany on my third German exchange trip. I’ve been taking lots of photos- and should have some good ones to upload. Also, I’ve just bought myself a nice pari of Sennheiser ‘phones (MX-55) , as …
Tonsillitis
Woke up on thursday to the odd feeling of my throat completely closed up. Not nice. No other symptoms whatsoever, which is quite weird but it’s clearing up now (thanks to the marvel of modern medicine). I’m going to Germany on Wednesday so I’m going to take a brief hiatus- but I’m sure to return …
