Long time, no see? · 7 days ago
Once upon a time there was a boy called Finch, who immersed himself in work too much and then decided to go house-hunting in Jesmond! Seems we (i.e. the flat, not me) found a nice place on Osbourne Rd, not far from the Uni by location and not far from the Metro. Winner! I’ve not seen it.
Unforutunatly, I’ve been playing Wrath of the Lich King. I was one of the shy retiring ones that kept his face away from the cameras at the midnight launch, came home (to Derek’s), installed and played and have been playing for a good couple of days. It’s fun to be a geek sometimes.
Tonight, I have stepped back from WoW and have been messing about with Shell Scripting in BASH . It’s not too fun, and all I am doing is creating a webpage of directories and filenames from somewhere else that would take someone hours to do on their own. Good practice I hope, even though it took me hours to figure out why one for loop wouldn’t work; simple stuff!
In other news, I also got a Management essay done, I am tempted to upload all my masterpieces for people to read, slash, somewhere I can get to them from mystery locations should I not be near my laptop.

Russell Brand and Stuff · 21 days ago
Russell Brand shouldn’t have resigned from Radio2, at best a week’s suspension for being a naughty boy. It was funny though that show!
It’s got to the point in Uni now where getting up at 9 is a chore and going to bed a reasonable time is hard when you go out for ‘one drink’ and you last till 4 in the morning drinking ‘just another and we’ll wander home’ we like this lifestyle!
Essays, programs to write, research to be done, washing up to be done, food to be eaten … there’s not enough hours in the day to even do that. But we fit it all in just the same.
Playing around with VirtualBox is fun, yet highly geeky. Since the downfall of OiNK and coming to a pansy VPN to which I can’t get Mac torrent clients to work, getting good quality mac software is hard. But VirtualBox is not only free, but also, free! I can now mess around with Linux as much as I like without the added bonus of piracy of Parallels!
Also, when you walk along the road, instead of doing the conventional ‘keep to the left’ that people try and do… walk straight down the middle with your arms spread out like an aeroplane. See what happens.
Not done it myself, but let me know!
class Hello{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println(“Hello Adam!”);
}
}
Hello to you too, Java!
