Guys first of all I am really sorry for no updates for over a fortnight! i’ve been pretty busy.. mostly going out from mini cruze’s round Long Sutton and looking for a Job… A JOB!?! Woah.. Yeah I know.. I found out very quickly that to run a 1.8 you need money… thats means getting a job…
Ok so I’ve been round the shops in Boston first HMV they gave me a form.. but it was too… advanced to fill it in.. out of my depth like so I decided to look for somewhere.. errm easier and right up my street.. PC World.. I’ve been there loads of times and theres been time when i’ve wanted to correct and employee when they have said something wrong too.
So I got my CV all updated with my new qualifications.. which I must say are pretty good (the new ones that is) got all the form sorted handed it in.. I really hope I get called up for an interview because I feel with my current knoweledge I know quite alot then most people.
Car is driving about great… love it… but it drinks petrol…like most cars lol. anyways thats a pretty small update I aint really got much else to say…

Monday
Well we didnt do much it was an induction day really so all all the same talk really with extra humor added through the day few ice breakers here and there thats about it a few member of staff walked in and gave talks that about it. But we did have a few laughs with me cracking some jokes, at one point I went up and explained to the class some of the rules. Oh yeah said hello to shelly which kinda shcoked myself that i’d said it. Tuesday
Tuesday Butlins day woo! Well we gathered up in the car park was given some papers and a ittle talk then got on the bus. We sat right at the back talking joking like normal lil jim was on the bus too with us so we just had a really good laugh.
We eventaully rolled in to Butlins and got off, there was alot of confusion on where we was going some people was going left right up down and some just didnt even move lol! So we rather everyone up and found our way to this big hall… and prepared ourselves for a hour or so of slideshows and a talk about Butlins.
We sat there listening all the slides was for business grr then the last 2 slides was for computing… but they was so obvious of course there going to use Microsoft Office and not the latest versions of software either its common sense lol. Either way after the boring talk we was free to do everything we wanted first thing FOOD!
We made our way to the main… tent thing you know that big white thing and got the Burger King just in time before everyone else rushed to it and got our food and ate it afterward we went outside and decided to go go-karting it was quite fun I’d never been go-karting and on our second race i come second after slowing rich down by T-boning him ha ha ha!
We then went on some of the free rides and stuff then went back to college and then home
Wednesday
We had to WRITE up an assigment on Butlins yes WRITE not type what the hell I could have all my work done and better quality on the PC but no we had to WRITE it up so none of us enjoyed that.
We had this sex education crap how to put on a condom and all that It was a little bit graphic just the words alone was making me feel sick but then she put the pics up (STD or STI infected stuff) I just couldnt look at it at all. Just the words green and discharage in the same sentence is enough to put you off sex for a week.
Thursday
Handed in our HAND WRITTEN assignment and we had a BBQ thats about all that happened that day…
Friday
Argh!! water leak we had an underground water pipe leak so instead of letting my grentz digg 3 really deep holes i decided to help out and do it well I did take pics but I cant get bluetooth to work I think I fried my bluetooth dongle… damn!
Today
I’m going up outwell to sort gems PC out when she picks me up lol
Warning this first half is about computers and stuff but its a big chunk of my life.
For 8yrs solid i’ve been a die-hard Microsoft fanboy starting off as a total newb in 1998, I know near enough every windows operating system like the back of my hand and I still and probably always will. I’ve always been against other operating systems such as linux and Mac OS X, but recently that has changed. After messing about trying to troubleshoots problems and crashing losing work that takes hours to do i’d had enough.
Some of my MSN contact knew how stressed I was from losing my work and I decided to install a linux Distro I tried the popular ubuntu distro and I really liked it but… I couldn’t and wouldn’t use the GIMP I needed my photoshop I tried using WINE alsorts trying to get it to work MSN was another one theres pretty of great clients out the but theres only a handful which has webcam viewing/sending and this was vital.
I kept coming and goingback to Ubuntu but them 2 things was stopping me from converting. I went back to windows then I got this crazy idea what about a intel mac mini? Only problem I can’t afford it so I had to sell something… I sold my pride and joy this might seem abit sad but my PC was my baby I built it about a year or two ago and now it had come to the time to sell it.
I put it and some other bits on ebay and my PC on a forum too and I manged to sell it they came round to pick it up yesterday the same night I went on ebay to find a PC that will support Mac OS X being installed on it (ok Ben and Semaja2 didn’t agree but they will get over it ) hmmm well the system specs seemed pretty good:
Celeron D325 2.53GHZ 768MB 533MHZ DDR 2 Ram
Intel D915GUX Motherboard
- Intel 915 chipset
- Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo Ready
- Dual-Core CPU Support
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900
- DDR2 667/533/400
- 64-bit CPU support
-120GB IDE Hard Drive
–Pioneer DVR111 DVD Burner DVD RW Drive
all that for £230 inc p&p and it would run Mac OS X perfectly.
The Mac Intel Mini I wanted was:
1.5GHz Intel Core Solo processor 512MB memory (667MHz DDR2 SDRAM) 60GB Serial ATA hard drive
Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0
Apple Remote
I think personally all your paying with apples hardware is for the logo, thats my honest opinion i’m getting such a better spec for alot less so i did that… hey if it dont work out I can soon sell it and buy a proper mac! I so have myself a new machine it comes preinstalled with Tiger too.
So whats it really… Yesterday I went to Peterboro when shopping for college clothes and stuff very stressful thing really all I had to keep me sane was txting Leanne… hmmm Leanne I can’t say too much about that matter really she’s going on holiday I really wanna say more tell the world but I can’t and i’ve probably f**ked that up but as the caring person I am i keep on going caring and loving how ever much I could get hurt I still do it.
Thats it not a very interesting post I guess but its an update :/ can’t wait to go back to college to see my mates again my interview date is on 31st august I hope everything goes well

Was supposed to had gone out for a BBQ but I really didn’t feel well so I stopped in dad had a lot to drink mum was not happy she took Deb Rob and Claire up village.
Dad was supposed to do the BBQ but stormed home because there was no buns! So he cooked steak for both of us mum came home they wouldn’t talk to each other, I went to bed after a talk with mum.
Sunday, I was supposed to had gone to work with my mum but wasn’t well at all had a high temp and nose bleed (what a surprise) and I was also sick, It was mums birthday that day and I gave her a card and her present, I bought her a MP3 player and she’s always using it . That night we went out for a meal at a place called The Portabella it was a really nice meal Deb, Rob and Claire came with us as well as mums boss after we had our meal we went to a ice cream parlor yum . Thats about it really they come back to ours for a drink me and Claire watched Garfield 2 it was quite funny lol.
Monday, felt a bit better so I sun bathed all day then in the evening went out with rents and her boss and her hubby, Lee. We went to a new Chinese restaurant that had opened just that night service was bit slow but the meal was nice! Thats about it that happened that night.
Tuesday and Wednesday,I think I went in the pool and sun bathed lol thats all I did for the whole week, guess thats the idea of going on holiday lol.
