Hot Topic!!

Okay. It’s unusual for me to do this, but prepare for a barage of links! I recieved an email from a gamers website that I didn’t even know I belonged to (happens a lot these days, considering my hotmail account is about 3 years old and I’ve used it for most every requested registration I’ve […]

False! Tricksey! Filthy hobbitsessss…

Just had to post this link to BBC’s ‘fake smile’ quiz. I got 15/20 correct on my first try, and 18/20 on a successive try, after I actually knew what to look for. I hadn’t seen the television show on this beforehand either, so I was just going on emotional intuition I guess. Look at […]

I’ve just returned from watching this film with a mixture of people from Japanese class, school and MYP; and just have to say that it was awesome ^_^.

Wahhhh-Hoooooo!!!!

Niko *^_^* Niko Thank you GetDataBack!!! I don’t care how cliché it sounds, I’m much too relieved to care… After a whole day of unsuccessful scans and various freeware restoration data programs (both Windows and DOS based) failing to recover anything, I came across this little piece of software, which had generally very good feedback […]

D:\ Is corrupt and unreadable…

Oh for the love of… *bangs head on desk* *twice…* *three times…* I’ve had a wonderful day in London, which I was looking forward to writing about before I came home, switched on my computer to find…no sound. ‘Odd. It must be the speakers or the sound card…’ I said. Two reboots later, still no […]

Disinclined to acquiesce your request…

…just because I like that statement :P I have a P1 resit on Thursday, M1 on Monday and then R.S the following Thursday all to revise for. Maths is improving now that I’ve started to re-cap all the foundations, but I’m still a long way from being good enough for Thursday. I’ve taken a liking […]
