Well it’s been the first week back at college and if I’m honest with myself I really think I’ve enjoyed it. I am doing Networking/techie stuff for the whole year which I love doing. Didn’t do a lot Monday mostly talking and stuff then we finished early enough for me to get to work to finish at 7 so I got the whole evening to play with.

Tuesday is a Optional day it’s normally your day off but for me and 8 others it’s an extra qualification called A+ by CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Association) it’s a industry recognized qualification:

Topics of the Core examination include IRQs, direct memory access, practical computer repair, including installing or repairing: hard drives, modems, network cards, CPUs, power supplies, printers, and so forth. The focus of the exam is not theory, but practice. Sometimes graphics are used in exam questions. Topics included in the Operating Systems Exam include: memory management, configuration files, and historical operating environments rather than the cutting edge, newer technologies. (Wikipedia)

So it’s right up my street basically. Wednesday I had off so I washed the car then built a diluter which is like a bottle added to the hose pipe so I can spray car shampoo straight onto the car hmmm I’ll go get a pic…

Full image here with descriptions on the image just mouse over the image

So that was fun making lol… Thursday was a b*tch and it really did take it out of me, Friday was all right too so yeah im pretty happy with the layout of the time table apart from Thursdays but that’s fine I’d rather have one hard day lol.

Been testing some new anti-spam software for my blog called  Defensio im currently BETA testing it overall its not too bad but its let in a little bit of spam… but it is new so…

This morning I got up at 7am trying to get myself back in the routine ready for college which I start on Monday, I got up had a shower then had a play about with my cars sub which I’ve built a false floor and mounted the sub within the floor to hold it in place (pics coming soon). After I finished with that I decide to drive up town to see what I had in the bank for petrol and stuff.

I got into town (totally forgot it was Friday – Market Day) and parked up next to a modded ford fezzy and walked up to Natwest. Well there was a woman who pushed in front, didn’t bother me too much as I stood and waited for her to go I noticed the door was covered top to bottom in “translucent white stuff” And I though to myself “Why would someone do that?”

The woman then left and it was my turn as I approached the ATM I noticed it also was covered in white stuff in-fact the whole bank was, I don’t know what it was and I didn’t really want to know what it was so I entered my pin printed off a mini statement and then walked back to the car still wondering why anyone would feel the need to cover a bank in white stuff.

So after that I waited a while then at 10.30 I set off to go see Amy for the day, I got there at 11 then we set off to Boston, parked up in college car park since we are students then walked into town did some shopping, I finally used that £10 voucher college give me when I won an award in first dip. I bought some clothes and paper, pen and stuff for college. I think I’ve spent over £100 getting college stuff which isn’t too bad.

We briefly met up with Rich and Terri, Terri went off to lesson so then we walked back to the cars and said bye and I went to Amy’s house for a bit. Then we noticed what time it was I had to get to work, and she had to go pick up her sister from school so we both rushed off. I got home with 10 minutes to spare which wasn’t too bad.

So that’s all that has happened today not a bad day really great being with Amy! This weeks been slow, someone broke into the Windmill well there’s nothing in there for anyone unless they want over 10 tones of pigeon sh*t pathetic! So I had to fit a new lock inside the mill and stuff Nana decided to come inside to and piss me off, I could of done everything required on my own with no problems.

In one way I can’t wait to get back to college to see my mates, the staff and to get out the house!

Goodnight

It didn’t last too long, the summer holidays are coming to a end and the back to school signs are back up, yeah that hateful time, or so it was when I was actually at school. This summer has gone fast its been a nice break but at the same time nice to get back and see my mates and be with Amy more (hopefully) . Not a lot has happened since the last post, I have not been down to skeg anymore to get anymore photos either.

Mostly hard at work either at the power station or at home doing the finishing touches on SiteDesignr and getting things sorted, but I’m still not happy with the layout of the portfolio, sometimes I try too hard but that’s how I work, if it’s not right it’s not going live. Anyways! On the 23rd August I and rich met up in Boston for a while, while Terri was doing some exams and stuff.

We had a walk and drive about it was a good day then I went and surprised Amy by turning up on her door step and spending an hour with her lol. Ooooh last night I drove down to Stamford to pickup my new bonnet too! I’m really impressed with it.

Well me and Joe went got this bonnet fitted with the help of the guy I bought it off lol, then it rolled on to 10pm and we needed food! Well we put in some details in sat nav and told it to find food. First it said McDonalds… no thanks had enough of that… then Little Chief oh ok cool we will got there then we passed KFC… Ok f**k it that will do.

So we went to KFC I stood there waiting in a queue of 1 person in front for 10 minutes getting a little pissed off and then seeing that all the guys was foreign and wearing hoodies while cooking… urghhhh that’s not very clean is it, so we walked out lol. Went hunting again and see Pizza Hut… sorted.

Got home about 11 shattered though but happy too! That is all that’s really happened since last post lol.

I think we are back on the air, live and kicking again, yesterday I once again got the Digg Effect woo! and bandwith went sky high! So i guessed it was time to move to a new server and cheaper then what I was paying on my prior web host. I have moved to DreamHost… I did look at my mates hosting but I did the maths and this worked out to be a better deal for my needs… well more than enough.

This is now what I have got!

• 200gb of webspace with goes up 1GB a week!
•  2tb – Yes 2 Terrabytes of bandwth
• Everything else is virtually unlimited.
• $190.80 for 2yrs BUT click here to drop it to £47.80 for 2yrs!

Compare that to my old host:

• 500mb of webspace
• 10gb of bandwith
• Everything else is unlimited.
• £30 a year thats £60 for 2yrs!

Hopefully this will be faster and the FTP seems alot quicker  too, Been busy working on my dedicated webdesign site and online portfolio but cant decide on a design yet. Development aint going too bad been putting some content on there and doing that. I’ve kinda missed shelly but i cba with it anymore just fed up of everything really.

Aparently slagging people off when I have’nt ok maybe moaned a little but don’t we all do that? be completely honest don’t you moan about some people you mean no harm but you just need to get it off your chest.  its comming to the point I cba to come to college anymore there always some sh*t and i get the blame for it.

I really don’t wanna do next yrs course because the ways things are i’m lost in life with no real idea what to do anymore. i’m fed up living in this country too my cars too expensive yet I have to keep it because its in dads name I have TW*T wrote on my windows of my car and a d*ck on the back window f*cking childish!

i’m just begining to f*ck my life it isn’t worth it anymore because the way people are with me I AM MISUNDERSTOOD most of the time people take things I say WAY to seriously, where a joke gets turned arround into a nasty comment I HATE IT because I didnt intend it to be like that and it f*cking drives me wild with anger because I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE TWIST SH*T ROUND!

Fine if you don’t like me stay away, don’t bother me and I won’t bother you, i’m seriously f*cked of with this childish bullsh*t its doing my head in because all I wanted to do when I started college was come here f*cking leanr something then p*ss off out of the country forever! This country has f*ck all to offer to the english people apart from benifits from taxpayers money.

Whats the point in working? we are only paying the lazy b*stards that cant get off there arse and get a job… harsh… ok I know myself its hard to get a job BUT AT LEAST F*CKING TRY! ARGGHH. FUCK I HATE MY LIFE.

- Tom…

PS: Might not come back to college!
