Bill Gates will turn 50 on November 2nd, but its not just bill having a birthday Microsoft is 30 this year. THink about how computers have changed from Windows 1.0 to Windows 9x then Windows XP and now the successor of XP Windows Vista

Over them 30 years we have seen so much changing (ok im not 30 but im 17 and i know a fair amount of windows history) from MS-DOS and Command Line Interface to Windows 3.1 with a Graphical User Interface, its not just operating sytems which have changed the world either,

Programs have evolved, new programming languages, new techniques, programs today can think for themselves they are making us become more and more lazy because of spellcheckers and formatters all this in 30 years, is amazing. Look how Microsoft Office has changed each new realease of office microsoft are addeding new features, making it more stable.

But what we will see from microsoft next year will be a totally new look to Office "12" Microsoft have researched into how there users use word and have developed a new way of using word, just looking at office "12" screenshots show that the new version is something totally different, and new, never seen before.

Its abit like Windows Vista, personally I have tested BETA 1 of Windows Vista and to me as a expert user its terrible, there is soo much crap loaded into this Operating System I really don't like it, I hope Microsoft add features like Classic explorer style and to a option to fully remove the sidebar, I dont like the transparacy either.

Trying to keep on top of work programming is getting there im on question 250k so only another 8 questions to go yay then i got alot of typing to do for CSYS and my instruction manual ect >_< all takes time to make, but worth it in the end

Got my results for CSYS Assignment 1, DISTINCTION how good is that? Im well proud of it just hope all my others follow like that I put alot of time and effort into my college work, way better then any school work for a whole year lol.

I was thinking to myself, if only I could go back into time and tell myself that my life is going to improve, stop being so down tom your life is gonna change once you have left school, if only instead im left with scares, well they have healed now. Stupid.

Narry has been teaching us networking, which he said was boring i found it very interesting, i'd really like to learn more networking we learnt what types of networking there is and all sorts well done barry, a change from binary binary binary.

Got all my NCFE portfolio work all done upto 1.2.3 yay sort now barry is gonna teach us how to stick a virus and a computer and take over the world and world domination, nah, how to use norton is-a-virus or mac-fee-sucks how to remove a virus

Tasha has upset me also, Well u see tashas bday was the other day so i bought her a present and a card and was hoping she was gonna come round friday to pick it up…. nope she didnt… ok so i asked her why, her reply was… "it was tooo late" right ok then so i was talking to her this morning oh and she thinks i want to go out with her thats why i got her a present and that, so she wont come round and get it *sigh* now what do i do with these belgium chocolates and card *sticks them on ebay* wait… wont a wierd person by them off there *thinks hmmmmmm i might just do that*

Well I went swimming for the first time in boston thursday which was cool I can nearly do one length of the pool under water so I must have been swimmin for say 1 hour then all of a sudden both legs locked up followed by pure agony :'( i rushed to get to the side of the pool and pulled myself out and laid on the side of the pool for about 5 minutes in pure pain, pain that nearly made me cry, You see both of my calf muscles was sticking out 3x there normal size

I actually worried about this because it was really hurting and I couldnt move them, now im normally a good swimmer but this happening was a shock, a worst yet was all my mates could do was laugh theres friends for ya, even the life guard then come over AFTER i was getting better.

They have not stopped hurting since, it took me 20 minutes to walk from pop bottle bridge to my house and putting any pressure on them hurts, so i've just sat inside trying to rest them, nothing interesting has happened much my programing is getting there smart arse alex keeps rubbing it in my face that he is better then me grrr.

Oh and to top it off I paid for my college trip and now everyone is thinking they dont want to go GREAT! looks like my 3 days there is gonna suck now

Me n nats split but made up again today she needs a cupple of days to chill and sort herself out which is fine Mouse broke the other night but I fixed it which some paper (gee my life is amazing isnt it) oh and im getting my webcam setup so u get to see me (wow how amazing) anyways I got bored and I made a wallpaper so here it is
