Stupid Old Bike

I tried drinking last night, GREAT. I guess that's why I woke today feeling completely drained of energy. Luke made me get-up and we turned the front room into a bike workshop. He replaced the shifter cables. It was actually a bit disturbing to see Luke. Someone left the front door unlocked and Luke decided to let himself into the house. I woke to him standing in my room wearing tight lycra cycling shorts. What is worse he insists on wearing the shorts with tightly pulled-up socks that defy gravity.

Walked about in then sun wearing a GAP t-shirt made in Vietnam...

read basic string to numeric algorithm...BAH !!!

Cut the Jap

It's really hard to choose what CMP modules to take this coming semester. I dropped 'beginner Japanese' in favour of 'Data Structures and Algorithms'. I hope to take Japanese at a later date. Lucky enough I've discovered a way of viewing all the lecture notes for every CMP module online. maybe I can be better prepared.

Been cycling, cooking noodles, throwing stuff away, re-arranging my tiny room.

Sean the new house-mate moved some stuff into his room today. He asked me for a front door key. I gave him mine, I will use the back door instead.

Two uber geeks arrived today to visit Adam. Adam has only ever met them online. They look trust worthy enough...

I've just been downstairs to find no sign of Adam, but found the two 'Welsh computer gamers' having a LAN party in the front room. And why the hell has the fridge been filled with plates of chips dowsed in ketchup ???

Track and Field

Luke came-over and after some adjustment to my bike we cycled into town. Luke bought new bike parts and a rfid chip from http://www.immobilise.com/

Cycling was fairly difficult for me uphill, but as I found-out later the back brake was very slightly on, making cycling alot harder...

I looked pretty stupid with my podge belly and a tight Burghaus top.

There's a new and looks to be interesting podcast : http://www.japanpodcast.net


that is all...

Robots, toy tanks and Lube...

Woke early (well, earlier than any other student.) Went to the doctor's surgery. It was raining outside so I thought about wearing the trench coat, as I haven't a umbrella. Decided against it, a trench coat whilst wearing shorts underneath isn't a good look...

Spent the day trying to research mobility and robotics. Then Luke appeared.

Luke lubed the chain to my new bike, then made use of our free wireless Internet. I was trying to watch old 26C3 footage on wireless Tesla power experiments, though Luke kept showing me YouTube clips of toy tanks and Russian aircraft.

Freebie GB

I've found-out I could have claimed some free money; so I will.
Went to Luke's house, where he cooked me curry rice. He had never cooked 'curry rice' before and it was abit experimental. We spent the rest of the night watching season one of the tv series 'Red Dwarf'. Like always I nearly fell asleep.

Charity

Luke came-over. He's moved into his new house here in Norwich. For some unknown reason he started to give me random stuff. He gave me an old bicycle and a trench coat, also, a raid PCI card.

Back at Luke's house we sat eating carrots and scanned for wireless on his rubbish Alienware Dell... he tried to play a Red dwarf DVD but for some lame reason he didn't have the correct Linux codec... Luke has two decent books, one on Solaris 10, the other, algorithms and methods of the Linux kernal. He says that he's going to read them, I have no reason to doubt that.

I walked home through Eaton Park indifferent as usual.

Also, people who shop on Sunday aren't worth listening to, or worth my time.

Somehow...

Seem to be held in limbo at present, waiting for the new semester to start. Somehow I managed to progress to the second year of my degree, but I'm finding it difficult, and will have to try harder this coming year.

People seem to be returning to campus and stuff happening again...

I expect to have a new housemate arrive soon. Lets hope he's clean and tidy. Not being a facist about it, but some basic hygiene would be good.

Watched 'The Big Lebowski' the other day and 'This is England'. Both not that good...
