An entry during term time!?! What madness is this!?
I’ve had the magnificent fortune to not have suffered from any serious illness during my time in Cambridge – until this week. I was practically bedridden for two days, technically functional but practically ineffective for a third (curiously, between the two bedridden days). It’s hardly been [...]
I had my last day in the lab today. I’ve enjoyed my summer job there, but I am very much looking forward to going home – I’ve basically had two terms rolled into one, so I rather feel like I’ve earned a break. I’m headed home tomorrow, and TPJ is having another tarpaulin party which [...]
I’m moving my site from an engine of my own (poor) design to WordPress. I’m keeping the same theme and everything though, but it might take a while for me to port everything across. A mostly-working copy of the old site is at http://area.hostingposts.com/oldsite/ on the slim chance that anyone cares.

They’re always so lovely.
Wow. Cambridge is, without a doubt, brilliant. I was phenomenally nervous coming up – for several reasons. Firstly, I haven’t really, properly, had to make new friends for seven years; people I haven’t known for that long have been friends of friends that I have known that long and were subsequently introduced to me – [...]
So, it’s Christmas Eve. We cook the turkey today, so that we’re not stressed out tomorrow cooking the turkey, so our first Christmas meal was this eveing. And boy, it was nice. I may die if I eat (most) real food, but damn. Just about the only thing I can’t eat the ‘normal’ version of [...]
After winning tickets to V, I won two tickets to Game Stars Live. Going with Brady, we found our way to Excel and queued for 20 minutes before the doors opened. I then went straight to the Halo 2 demonstration and queued for 90 minutes to play a 5v5 CTF game. For five minutes. With [...]
V was great fun; I went with Deepak in the end. In my opinion, Faithless and The Divine Comedy were the most entertaining, but I enjoyed all of the acts I went to see (which, on top of Faithless and The Divine Comedy, were The Killers, the Charlatans, Hope of the States and Muse). I [...]
5 As. Nice. 293/300 in Chemistry shouldn’t be sniffed at. Shockingly, my computing was my worst subject. I’ve also won a pair of VIP tickets to V. However, I do need to find someone who:
Wants to go
Can go
Isn’t already going
I wouldn’t mind going with
Worst comes to the worst, I would have been taking Alana, but [...]
I’ve spent a lot of time at the beach the last week, which is pretty cool. Southwold was actually a pleasant temperature for once, as opposed to one of scorching hot or jaw-wrenchingly cold. I’ve been reading “The Elegant Universe”, which is the book that spawned the three part TV series that just about everyone [...]
