Christmas Holidays
Well it is that time of year again and I suppose this post is slightly late but its Christmas! Santa was very generous this year but on the downside I have had the flu and spent most days watching films in bed drifting in and out of sleep. In all honesty that would likely happen with or without the flu. Santa has helped me acquire various things to aid me with my final year project which is great as now I’m slightly better I can get back in to working mode and start doing some more work on it. I guess I should probably mention my final year project more on here but I may leave that until I find out why my camera isn’t working so I can take some images of my new toys!
Anyway, Happy Christmas and New Year Internet!
Week 3 Already!
I’m just heading in to week three at university, oh how the time has flown by which is actually quite unusual for university for me. I suppose this week is where is all really kicks off as I am now past the initial final year project stage. This is because I have my idea finalised and my supervisor sorted. Down hill from now eh?
Not much else is going on really which is why there is a lack of posts here. Sorry, but its true.

I don’t like to say I’ve not posted for a while but I haven’t really updated the site on my ongoings lately just my new gadgets and tech which actually reminds me I’ve not reviewed or posted about my new quite awesome laptop.
We’ve had some new tech at work too. I’ve had my hands on a HTC Desire this week, I’ve been quite impressed with Android and the HTC phone but its not something I’ve got used too but then I’ve not had my sim in and my iPhone as always been in reach. I could though see myself hopping over to Android in the future. Looking at the iPhone 4 details nothing really shouts awesome which is good as it won’t make my iPhone 3gs to obsolete. I can however see future Android phones having some quite epic features and being able to root it and unlock more sounds pretty cool add-ons like tethering for free just seals the deal!
Last week marked a slight milestone for me on placement last week as well, firstly I kicked off my report for University but also I started the hand over period with my replacement. Although its 3 months of hand over it marks the time where I start taking a step back and sharing my knowledge.
I’ve also started preparing for going back to Staffs. I’ve got my moving date in the bag which is quite soon so I’ll be commuting for the final part of placement but I’d also been brushing up on my programming skills as I’ve had a tip off with regards to next years assignments and reading up on IPV6 as its likly that’ll be the subject of my final year project. I’m getting quite excited really it’ll be great to get back to work and
