Well, this is a general “I’ve-not-had-time-to-blog” type of blog, as I’ve not really had time to blog today, or just never got around to it. Was lifeguarding with Kirsty today, she’s as weird as ever. 😉 Doing it next week too to cover for someone else, so I’ll basically be lifeguarding three weeks in a row but then should get three weeks off, if I’m not mistaken. So that’s OK.

Still got loads of stuff to do for school, etc, so best get it done sometime. Hmm, Weird Al Yankovic – Phony Calls is currently playing from the speakers, and I’m currently working on a web-based TTDAlter translation system, or trying to. PHP isn’t liking some of thus Unicode stuff. :/ Oh well, ttfn.

New category!

I’ve created a new category here in the old blog, “Interesting Sites”. In this category goes, wait for it…. interesting sites, as and when I find them. So if you’re interested in that then, well, that’s there.

I finally sent off my UCAS application today – well, sent it to my guidance teacher, who will then write a reference and finally send it off to UCAS. I’m applying to St. Andrews, Heriot-Watt, Napier, Abertay and Robert Gorden, to do Computer Science, apart from St. Andrews, where I’m wanting to do Computer Science with French. Hopefully I’ll get some offers sometime soon! 🙂

Having adopted Mozilla Firefox as my main browser and also my browser at school/the hostel (in the form of Portable Firefox running off a USB drive), I’ve today been playing around with Thunderbird, which I am thinking of moving to. I have some 160,000 e-mails though, so I want to be sure I’ll like it. So far, it seems nice enough… perhaps when it hits 1.0, which doesn’t look as if it’ll be that far away, I’ll migrate then. Hurrah for the Mozilla project!
