Yeah, so I’ve been slack. I haven’t had all that much to write about… the whole weekend’s been pretty boring. I’ve hardly left the house… in fact I’m not sure I did at all. Just thesis, watching Lost, and of course that silly game of Risk. But I’m going to continue with this exercise nonetheless.… Read more
1) Drilled some holes in my PCB for PRJ. It was pretty cool actually – the drill’s like a little laser; you tap the foot pedal and a fraction of a second later you’ve got a hole somewhere on your board.

Tired of waiting around watching flights fill up and ticket prices soar, I went in today with the resolve to walk out with some plane tickets. And I did. And now I’m freaking… Read more
1) Did a lot of thesis work. I’ve now got the motherboard and power supply sitting in the case in reasonably happy positions. There’s room for a hard drive or two, and some extra space left over… I don’t think I could possibly fit a DVD player in (excepting of course, perhaps, a slim-line one)…… Read more
You know, I’m really not sure if this is having the desired effect… it’s difficult to find any number of things I can write about, in this section, each day… which is then immediately depressing, because it surely shouldn’t be that hard to find a few good points to my day. Maybe I’m just too… Read more
