I have a job!
Yes! I have a job! It’s amazing, I know, but it is true nonetheless. I’ll hold off announcing the company name until I receive the official letter, I’ve told people in email but I don’t want to post it on the web just yet. But yeah… um… more details to come! 🙂

That’s what I’m doing wrong…
Well, it’s obvious. The reason that I haven’t got a job currently, is that I haven’t created any viruses or had any high-profile hacking attacks. Why I couldn’t see this before, I don’t know…

Mondo and Linux…
An unlikely combination! But the only link between them is that I happen to be mentioning them in the same blog post. Firstly, the 80s and 90s night went really well! Thanks everybody for coming, it was a great night! And… Linux. Zeth seems to think that Linux will catch on in Europe… I’m not…

80s and 90s night!
Well, I was going to post something up on here a few days ago, but for some reason Blogger seemed to be unaccessible. Ah well. I came down to Colchester on Friday. On Friday night, me and Philippa went round to Claremont Road to have a curry which Alex had very kindly offered to cook…

The Weekend, and things
Just thought I’d post up to let you know what my weekend was like. I went up to Colchester on Saturday afternoon, and had dinner with Philippa. Afterwards we went to Waffles for a cocktail, and spent our evening there (well, we did go for a wander round town, but decided against stopping in anywhere…

Temp work, and things
… I don’t actually know what other “things” I really mean, but still. I’ve done a bit of temp work the past couple of days. And really, not much more than a bit! I’ve been doing some cleaning work in some offices. Not very exciting work, but still — it’s better than doing what I…

Good e-cards
Well, I’ve just found a site with some good e-cards on there! They’ve given me a good laugh browsing through. Go and have a look… after all, what other e-card site has a card which says “Your eyes are hypnotising…… knowing that, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t make me cluck like a chicken in…
