Low and Slow!
The Astra was lowered today (40mm)! Looks ace. Very happy with the result!
Before
After
Also had a quote for a new rear bumper for the other driver of my crash, £450 
I hate the rain!
I had a little bump in the Astra today. A very common accident. I was coming back from the Showground heading on to a roundabout the car in front looked as if he was going straight in, but didn’t he stopped. He said he was but I think it wasn’t very confident with his new car. I didn’t stop in time however, I blame the rain.
Not much damage done to the other car, a 55 Focus just a small hole where a bolt had come out of mine and punched a hole but there is a bit more damage to mine. A bolt sticking out the front, love to know where that came from and a crack behind the number plate and the bumper seems to be sitting at an angle so I think the reinforcer behind the bumper is bent as well.
Great timing really, loan soon so I’m thinking that will pay for my damages but waiting on a quote from the other driver.
I suppose it could have been worse.
On the bright side Uni starts soon and I’ll be a welcome week rep for the freshers week, Training for it starts on monday so going back to Stafford sunday night!
Few Changes
Made a few changes today, I upgraded wordpress, got a new style and a few new sidebar items. Also thinking about getting a new domain, RootDogg really doesn’t mean anything anymore so thinking about a new one.
I also started crunching for Rosetta@home again, so will post about that sooner or later.
Network and Grid Computing Module
I have just been comfirmed that I have been enrolled on a 5th module for semester 2 of my second year of uni. When I was looking at my options I thought I couldn’t take the module as both my options are in semester 1, however over the summer and talking it over with friends I found out I could take an extra module in semester 2 which would allow me to do Grid Computing.
This means I’m going to have alot of work to do in semester 2 so alot less partying eh?
So what is Grid Computing? Grid computing is a form of distributed computing where you have a super computer made up networked computers acting to preform very large tasks which require a lot of processing time. An example task would be rendering animations like Pixar movies.
However it is a long time before I start this module so stay tuned.
Needs a clean?
Two weeks of festivals, 6 days parked in fields, I’m thinking I need to wash my car.
