Well I’m placing a reasonably save bet that I’m the first member of hooded badger to post some content from a Virgin Train!

For anybody interested theres Free WiFi on most Virgin services from now until 28th Feb curtsy of Google, sponsored by Google Chrome, which is a fantastic way of promoting their new (proportionally) browser, and trying to increase its market share.  It’s something i do hope they decide to carry on in non-holiday periods, as it’s a service already provided for free by Google in many airports, train stations, and certain airlines (again Virgin Atlantic included).

Anyway, enough about how I’m posting this and more about posting something.  So I’ve stayed up through the night once more, to try and complete a Java Lab/Assignment, with a fairly decent success rate in the end it has to be said, however it’s the second night in a row. not to mention having worked the last 2 days… Oh and deciding to (learn to) play Squash Tuesday, and play 5-aside last night.  Great exercise, not so great for the whole staying awake during the day business.  Alas I resort to Coffee and high energy snacks, Jaffa Cakes.  After all I wouldn’t want to fall asleep on the train and miss my stop On an aside how the hell did it suddenly get so cold again, it was -8º in Bangor at 5:30am!

I came across a Motivational picture however that pretty much sums up my mood so I’ll share it with you;

So thats my mood, excited for this evening, Exams over, Assignments done, New semester/new Modules on Monday, and I’m off out tonight.  There is one thing though, the amount of time i spent on Java RMI’s, Sockets, and Internetworking.  I now want to practice the skills *head desk*

I really suck at posting stuff right now.  Here’s a musical pick anyway, in the form of ‘The Only Exception’ by Paramore.

We’ve finally hit November, and by the looks of the scene out of my window, winter also.  With that coldness in mind I often find myself looking for songs with that comforting edge on them.  Today’s musical pick is Foo Fighters – Wheels.  Maybe a little simplistic for many, but it soothes my tired mind quite nicely.

Day three back at work…froze my ass off this morning getting up and coming into work, really need to sort those heating times out.  Not much longer left of my lunch by the looks of it (feels shorter every day), so condensing the rest of the post into bullets:

• It’s really, really cold.
• Petrol is 82.9p at our local Shell, awesome.
• There are two sets of roadworks between me and work.  Not so awesome.
• Someone is opening an ice cream parlour in our town…hopefully not in Winter.
