It's probably not a Good Idea to go out the Friday night just a matter of days before an exam, especially when revision hasn't been going all that well. Unfortunately I have been lacking in Good Ideas recently. For example of a Good Idea I haven't had is a way of avoiding the exams, or how to get a 1st Class without doing any work. I still live in hope that one day I might wake up and find them in my head.

While I was avoiding work I was pleased to discover that Apple is currently being force to make a bit of an apology to 3G iPod owners. Apparently that shorter-than-expected battery life has resulted in a class action in the States, and it looks like they are going to be handing out repairs/vouchers/replacements in the next few weeks and months.

Awesome.

Only in this past week I have been browsing the net for a replacement battery for my ever failing (but beloved) MP3 player. Unfortunately in the UK it is very difficult to do much about it, but this scheme will solve my problem. Legitimately and for free. I love those words.

Today I managed to update my portfolio with the Ribeena [sic] project. At some stage it's going to need a total design overhaul, but it seems to be doing it's job at the moment. I'm getting quite itchy to get back into some sound webdesign.

Yet another Good Idea I failed to have was to take my Diner Card off the top off the printer paper stack before I sent something through. The card came out eventually, but sending 2mm worth of High Density Polystyrene, chip and all, through my print heads probably didn't do either item much good (established from the evil and loud complaints that the printer made).

Also I've been a little trigger happy recently (hence the mugshot of DeVito). Despite my attempts to conquer the art of portrait photography, I was met with a barrage of abuse from DeVito who said he reckoned he could do better. Bloody civil engineers (or whateverheis) can't just go marching around claiming they're good at this stuff. Actually he wasn't bad. We both have got a handful of really nice shots in the collection.
