Wordpress will probably be ready by the end of tomorrow, but I don't know what difficulties I'll encounter, so no promises. The layout won't be ready until most likely the end of the week. I'm negotiating with Ally about the

I'm sure most of you have gmail now, but I have 100 invites to spare so. Last time I checked there were nearly 2,620 MB of space for every user, which is more than most other online e-mail providers (even paid ones).

For no aparrent reason, I started to think about whether or not Lego was art. Soon, I realised I was onto something. I was onto something BIG. OK, maybe not, but I think you'll find what I say very vaguely interesting all the same. Lego is not about building. It is about seeing. It builds artistic taste without building skill. I say this because, really, it takes no skill at all to build a

My school has just updated all the PCs in the main computer room, so they might not freeze as often now. Also, they now run on XP Pro rather than Win 2000. Perhaps in 5 years time, we'll have flat screens and fedora core 7. That'd be very good. Yes. The new blogger stuff is good too.

I doubt England will win the cricket. I am saying this so that I have written proof I said it before the result, and if I say I didn't expect them to win, people won't criticise me for just saying that in hindsight.

For more information about this post, try commenting. It has been my intention for a while to move to wordpress. The sudden and shocking disappearance of Blogback will cause me to speed up my plans. I am aiming to keep the comments, as there is a tutorial for exporting to wordpress. If you know of any cheap good quality hosting plans, please tell me. Thanks, Peter.

Watching the news yesterday, I saw that Krispy Kreme is opening its first store in the midlands. My reasons for moving to the US are disappearing. OH! it's so close to Stoke... The suspense, the suspense! **cries tears of happiness** Come on people, Stoke does have the highest obesity rate in the UK. Bring on the Doughnuts! Clicky, clicky.

Is it just me who thinks this is way overdue? Not only that, there is nothing that you can't get elsewhere. In the future, I'm sure mac will have unlabeled touch sensitive areas all over their spotlessly minimilistic laptops. Even the keyboards will be like that. I have never been that impressed with what mac designs. As I see it, they just slap nice control mechanisms on plain white boxes

why is coursework always so pointless all the time? I feel like a man being asked to carry rocks from one end of the road to another, then back again. Huge physical effort is put in, but for what? In the end of the day it is completely pointless. The man's muscles may get stronger, and he may get better at the task, but that does not detract from the uselessness of it. That is how I feel

I know you'll be annoyed after already downloading Firefox, but opera is better. It is sooo much faster and a lot cleaner, you have to add less stuff, more is pre installed. I'm satisifed with the default configuration (..GASP..). You should know by now how much I configure things...It's like mozilla suite, but it's good.

I made Jon Mackenzie's blog today. Yes. All of it. Of course, since he appears to be on holiday, I cannot say whether or not he will be using the layout as is. You can see a preview by clicking on this post's title. He cannot comment on it due to the fact he is away, or so I assume. I might come back from holiday with a bit of extra work for me, who knows.

This is just a quick note to say that Ally has read the first 4 Harry Potter books in 1 1/2 weeks and has been obsessively playing "We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the Basilisk" on his computer, even though it's a really bad song.

Wow! A school that talks sense about computers. Man alive, I'm impressed. Not only that, it's from a Stoke High school. Can anything good come out of Stoke high schools? Apparently, yes. The site is a bit glitchy (no drop shadow on banner, elements overlap), but the information is very good. It's probably the most useful web design blog I've seen. Actually, that isn't saying much, as it is

I can completely recommend the book at this post's link from what I have seen. I have gone through 50 pages so far. Learning programming languages is fun... No, really, I'm serious. I'm not trying to sound like a geek, but I really enjoy doing this. I enjoyed learning how to program excel in IT, and this is much the same. It is addictive and fun... for me.

You are forwarded a completely random LEGO® link, and you have already seen it. You never draw anything without the intention of building it. If you see a cool design, you can imagine it in LEGO®, and if questioned, can suggests techniques for specific parts, or at least imagine them, even if words fail you.

I can't see much point, but this is still pretty cool. I really don't see any problem with a normal CD, or even an SD card, if they want to be forward thinking. This is a bit gratuitous though. Disposable electronics devices could be interesting htough, whether or not they're a good thing. At least you can learn Spanish in style now though...

Hate Windows update? Linux will make you love it. I was reminded of this fact when I reinstalled Fedora Core 4 today (it's a long story and I'm bored). Anyway, I think the following lines from the terminal say it all: Install 0 Package(s) Update 63 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 294 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Core 4 was new on 13th June. However, with a 2mb

The vehicles are very nice, but the dinosaurs are uh... m*ga bl*kish. I like this one a lot, but like I said before, the dinosaurs are hideous.

I'm annoyed. I've tailored StumbleUpon so much that I can be pretty well certain that every time I use it, I'll find something I like. This is really annoying. I need to do my law coursework.

I used to like this layout but now I hate it. It loads up differently every time. How did they manage that? Oh well, new blog by the end of Summer... I hope. A new colour scheme is debateable, but it's no use worrying about that... The whole thing is still a long way off. Blogger is really trying my patience. First my layout messes up, then my dashboard. I'd be surprised if the thing's

So you know the reason for me not making my new blog immediately, I will tell you my list of priorities regarding web design: Redesign Jumpz Internet café's portal page Redesign 40Bicycles Redesign this site. A little hint: I'm looking into Wordpress. That looks good. Possible blog design for friend of Richmond (Jumpz Internet café owner) ...So please don't bug me about this stuff.

The 'pictures' section of Mark's blog is no longer 'coming soon'... It's there. The RSS feed doesn't really work very well, and is only a placeholder. The real deal comes on July 1st, when RSS Digest version 3 comes out, and they allow applicants again.

Actually... I really like this layout, but it's not mine, so I don't want it on my blog. I think I'll have to make a new blog layout now. Oh well...

Why don't more people have justified text on their blogs? It's really easy and such a good idea.I have no idea why my layout isn't working at the moment.I don't think I've changed anything too major.**EDIT** Yep, I'm pretty sure it's blogger's fault, I'm see the same thing when I change the layout of my tester blog to the layout this blog's layout came from.

Mark: Thou shalt not follow this link Everyone else: What do you think? Areas of improvement? What is not coded at the moment will be coded in the end. Eventually there will be a photo section (Mark's too addicted to that Cyworld thing to go onto blogspot without a decent picture section). Have no worries! It will come.

Rainlendar and Rainmeter are two of the most useful programs you can get, particularly Rainlendar. It fits well with and desktop, has a fantastic GUI and is very easy to use, it's far nicer to put appointments onto that thing than the ugly GUI of Outlook. Also, it remains on your desktop, allowing you to have easy access to it and beautifying your desktop at the same time.

If you liked the pictures I discretely posted of the Republic Star Destroyer in my Ep. III review, you'll love this page. What I take is a good interview (I have not actually read it) with a Lego master builder, but more importantly, a proper photoshoot of the fantastic model of my original post. Enjoy!

I'm going to Oxford uni tomorrow, for a so called 'aspirational day'. I think that basically means a lot of talking about courses and us getting bored, oh well, should be fun anyway. Only bad thing is that I have to be at school for 7.00AM. Ouchy-trocious. I'm having an RE exam today, which should be fun.

I think the title is self-explanatory As for Fedora Core 4, it is clearly better, I don't know exactly how yet, but it is, trust me. The boot is not so agonisingly slow as it used to be, which is great. All the software is cutting edge, which is what matters and I'm happy, which is what matters more than the software, so that's good.

I kindly let Mark post this stuff on his blog rather than mine. There was a debate as to who should post the picture of me, the subject or the photographer. I eventually gave in because he needed some content. Well worth checking out by the way. I wrote the captions, so I guess that was an okay compromise. As for the redesign, I'm thinking about that, but I have two other websites in the

I've just installed Windows, so that I can run Windows Programs without having a compatibility layer. Some programs just aren't paralleled in Linux, such as the whole multimedia stuff* Since Fedora Core 4 is coming out on Monday, I thought this was the best time to install Windows, since I will be formatting my drive anyway, and it's easier to install Windows before Linux than after.

OK, my blog is still going to live. Mark and Ally said it was a stupid idea to close this blog, 'cause it's so cool. I reckon it was bad to make such a big thing about Elbert on a bad day. My blog is supposed to be random, anyways. That's why Mark likes it, apparently. There needs to be something light hearted to counteract the ever advancing cloud of 40 bicycles. Even if this blog has to go

I wrote this in response to Elbert's leaving comment, but I want everyone to see it. I think I'll take a little break from blogging. A climax suggests this is the best post you have ever seen. I doubt that. I've deleted that post now. I'd hang around if I was you. My blog can take surprising turns due to reader input. Like… OK, it never has before. I still haven't found my own audience.

It's early days yet, but I thought I'd write a review of this stuff now, alerting you to its presence at the same time. I think that this has really missed one of things that makes the Brick testament as good quality as it is. This is just minifigs talking. TBT had great buildings, expressive minifig faces and more. You never know, perhaps it'll get better, but this seems kind of lame to me.

I'm linking to this guy because he likes Lego® and he's making an early Church history Brick Testamentish thing. By the way, do not be fooled by his requests for donations. You all know who really needs them. Seems like he's written a fair few books... I have no idea who he is, except he reads Ally's blog and likes Lego®.

Being PC is very interesting. I was reminded of this fact when I was writing up the introduction to the official 'richly diverse' recipe book that is to be produced by my school. In light of this I have created a quick PCness tutorial. Use 'rich', 'richly', 'deep' and 'deeply' all the time. Mention vague terms that suggest a 'diverse' environment. A good starting point is to put 'multi'

NEW! Zeitgeist at the bottom. You might remember I had one of those before but removed it. Well, it's back. This time on a white background! I still don't know why you can't choose the background colour of the actual app.

Normally, people get reviews totally mixed up, most of them start with rubbish and end with a conclusion. It is my opinion that conclusions should be at the start. This is because if this is the case, people do not have to search for the part of the review that is relevant to them, they can just read the conclusion and be happy. If they're really interested they can read the rest. Right, so I

A certain reader of mine has commented that I don't post enough, and when I do, the posts are crap. OK, I admit this is true. His blog only lasted for about half a week though, so I don't see why he is pointing the finger at me. Anyway, what I really wanted to say was that actually, I have nothing to say. If I had something useful to say it, trust me, you people would be the first to know.

I was having a brief glance through the pages of my dad's recently arrived copy of PC Pro, when suddenly I realised how irrelevant it was to me. The A list was far removed from my own, and where did that whole idea of spending money on software come from? In light of this, I have assembled a quick A list. I promise that apart from Fedora Core 3, none of this stuff will cost you a penny. Anyway

I can be quite slow at times, but after getting similar pages several times via stumbleupon (an extension for firefox), I realised that it was all the same site. After browsing it for a while, I found this fantastic scenario which is virtually identical to conversations I have had in my school library. It was like, whoa, those people must have junior librarians too. Computer-inept librarian?
