Not At Twickenham
Wednesday, April 27, 2005

Today I am not at Twickenham, unlike Dan, who is skyving. I would love to be there as today is the BUSA Rugby Union finals and Lufbra are playing. As far as I know Benji is probably getting a game, but he did sustain an knee injury last week which might have screwed things up a bit. Damn this work.
I spent last night helping Flash out with a logo design in Photoshop. It's looking quality and I'll be putting it in my portfolio as soon as I'm allowed to. I wish more of my course was doing this kind of stuff, but then again, my course isn't called 'Creating Corporate Identities and Drawing Logos'. Shame.
This morning I had two hours of lectures on the finer points of welding (which I actually new very little about before) followed by an hour of lab demos and a further hour of watching Cat trying to retrieve one of her trainers from the roof of the CAD lab.
Things I am feeling proud/pleased of today are:
- Acquiring biros - It has become increasingly difficult to write without any pens, so it was a welcome relief for Rob to go and get some for me. This will make it easier for me to Work.
- Acquiring jotter pads - In the same vein as above. Writing has become more difficult due the lack of appropriate blank surfaces.
- Sorting out payment on my NTEC Europe logo project - I have been informed I will be receiving a Radeon 9800 XT graphics card which according to Neil is "5 millions times better" than what I already have.
- Getting sun in my room - for the first time this year I have sun hitting the back wall of my room. Granted, it's not very much, but hopefully as the summer goes on it'll be a bit warmer in here than it has been.
- Buying a External Harddrive - I'm lazy at backups so this is going to save my ass someday.
- Hearing from Alex - I need to email him back.
- Sorting out some issues with Echos' domain name - it's not done, but it's getting there.
On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about my BHF redevelopment project. It might have fallen through; at least it's been put on hold for a month. I'll have to wait and see. Also some more work for the Degree Show has popped up. They are going to spot varnish the text on the logo (which will look sweet) but therefore need to separate the background from the foreground. Not a big thing, but just another task on the list, which is getting longer by the minute.
Also while your on the net, check out Amaztype. A cool idea that takes info directly from Amazon and arranges all the books that meet your search criteria into piles, spelling out the search keywords. Quality.
