Well after 2 weeks of Final Fantasy XI I am now playing once again. I tried but I realised that real life is much more boring than game life. I can totally understand why people go out every night of the week drinking. Although I prefer to save my money and spend it on things I enjoy and can continue to do so for more than a few hours. I would love to know how my mum thinks that spending £100 on my computer when I know people spend at least that every week going out.

Well this evening has been fun, just after midnight and have just got home from my Grandma’s 80th Birthday Party. I have listened to a few good stories of when my dad and his two brothers were younger. One of them was at my Gran’s 60th party when one of my uncles had told my Gran that he was seeing someone. Later my uncle was doing press ups and both my other uncle and my dad said that he was practicing for tomorrow night. I knew that is exactly the kind of comment I would have come out with if I had of been there. I remember in one of my drama classes that my teacher had said to the class that one day when you are older you will realize that you are very similar to your parents and wont see it as a bad thing. I am proud of my parents and thankful for all that they have done for me and ask for little in return.

I have been getting a lot of small bits of coursework from a module called Introduction to Programming worth between 10 and 15% each and I have just finished tweaking one that is due tomorrow. I would be surprised if I didn’t get an A but be shocked if it was less than a B its just too easy. I can’t wait till next year where I might actually do something challenging.

I’m not sure why but today has been a good day, I work up in a good mood. I did not go for a drive yesterday, I did not get up early enough but I did do something else. I asked her out which may go some way to why today is so good. Although she did not reply at all in half an hour until I said good night where she said bye. A little later I released that she had not said no, although I wont push her I will probably ask again in the future. I just hope I did not scare her off…

It is almost half way through the weekend and I have been really bored I feel like going out and doing something but I have drawn a blank as to what. I kind of wish that there was more work to be done inside University so that I do not spend so much time at home. I think I will go out for a drive tomorrow just to get out of the house.

Yesterday I started getting an odd feeling fairly soon after I had gone to University, and my mood deteriorated a lot from then to the point where I was wondering the point of being alive was. It is strange what you think of but I still could not find a reason. Anyway, I got home about half past one still not feeling to good and started reading Micro Mart (a weekly computer magazine). When my dad got home from a meeting he was very excited about something to do with work and my mood suddenly picked up. It is fascinating how easily even foul moods can change to joy or excitement.

Just before I post, I would like to with my friend’s sister a fast recovery from her operation. I am sure she will be annoying my friend again in the way only siblings can.

I know Honda promotes “What if?” as being a good thing, and yes in most cases it is a good thing but I am currently wrestling with the bad side at the moment. I finally pluck up the courage to do something that I really want to do but when I get to the point of doing it my courage goes on holiday, doubt sets in and I run for the hills. This is then usually followed with me being really frustrated at myself. If you have been in my position you will probably know what I am talking about, I hope I can bring myself to do it before it is to late… unless it is already…

I have not had as much fun on Final Fantasy XI recently and as a result on Saturday night at about 7 o’clock I logged off and have not been on since. The strange thing is although I have thought about the game I have not really been tempted to play it. For example all yesterday I was happily messing around on my PC and I must have opened the start menu 10 to 20 times an hour where the shortcut to start FFXI has been pinned but at no point did I really want to click on it. I had always though that gaming was like an addiction and an online role play game was the worst because of the social aspect of it. Strangely I have had no contact with anyone on the game at all (with the exception of Woody who is on a different server but I knew him before as the webmaster of FF Ultima).

If you are reading this post, welcome to the new web host! My previous hosting was on the iTopsites server which has been having some difficulties which has resulted in the service being moved to a new server that is not run by Jeremy (the founder of iTopsites). I am now hosted by Servage.net which hosts websites on a cluster based server which are notorious for fault tolerance (a cluster server is a number of computers working together as if they were one and if one computer stops working for some reason the other computers will take on its work load, many of the worlds super computers are cluster servers).

The circuit counts down from 9 to 0 perfectly on the third attempt at creating the circuit. Pervious attempts had failed because of errors in the working out stages leading to incorrect equations. Once the circuit was completed all the gates have been labelled from E to X (the bit generators are labelled from A to D).
