Blog: The Life Of A Supreme Ruler
What to write?
Filed under: — orudge @ 12/12/2004 8:46 pm
I don’t know what to write. I’m going to supper.
(This was an official message from the Waste of Space Society™)
ROTK: EE!

Guess what I bought today? The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (Extended Edition) DVD. Just going to watch it now, the main film is some four hours long, and then there be another twenty hours or so of special features! 😉
“A rare mint snow globe”
Filed under: — orudge @ 09/12/2004 6:32 pm
Just ordered a USB 2.0/Firewire PCMCIA card for my laptop… planning on selling my network card to Matt as it’s practically new, and it’d save him having to get one from OTE. Then I’ll get a new USB 2.0 one off eBay (there’s one that’s at £5 or so at the moment, got a few hours yet though so we’ll see what happens). Got a week yet to do my Specialist Study, got about half of it done so far… 2,500 words out of about 4,500. Oh well, it’s not looking so bad, got badminton tonight too. TTFN.
Stuff getting done, eventually
Filed under: — orudge @ 08/12/2004 3:58 pm
Well, stuff is getting done, slowly but surely. The board for Aroond’n’Aboot is basically finished, now we just have to print and make the things. Still got to finish my Specialist Study for English, and so on. Got a French essay to do for tomorrow too, and no doubt other exciting things. Have fun.

Anyone who can get the title and artist of today’s lyrics will get a £10 gift voucher from me. Really.
More YE stuff to be done… did some work on the board, it’s looking quite good now, got most of the logos too. Need to rotate a load of them though, but we’ll see how it goes. Other stuff needs doing, like that History essay, that English thing, that other English thing, and all of that stuff. I have a History test next Monday, which should be fun, and other fun stuff. I’m just writing rubbish now. Good night, tout le monde.
Not AGAIN!
Filed under: — orudge @ 06/12/2004 3:56 pm
I am getting rather urinated off at the JervHost server filling up! This causes problems as no new e-mail gets in, as well as other things… generally, a server with a totally full HD is not a good thing. I’ll likely move owenrudge.net over to the good old Zernebok soon, but I haven’t quite gotten (ugh, what an American word) around to that yet.
Just been buying a few Christmas presents, which is rather unusual for me. Obviously, I didn’t spend much on them though, and it has been quite a good week financially, so it’s maybe not so bad. Anyway, I’m off, things to do. Ta ta.
Real music?
Filed under: — orudge @ 05/12/2004 8:08 pm
What would you call real music? Do you think Weird Al’s songs are not “real music” because they’re funny, or silly? Ken was arguing that his songs – even his non-parodies – aren’t real for these reasons, which doesn’t quite make sense to me. Not usual, perhaps, but they’re still “real”. That’s my opinion anyway.
Another argument we’ve been having is that of Lord of the Rings: one book, three books, six books, or what? My position was that it’s a single book, as in a single narrative, story, etc. The most common form of publishing for LOTR is three volumes, but that doesn’t mean that it’s three books. Technically, it’s six books, usually printed as three volumes, but being one narrative. *sigh*
I need some sleep. I also have to write a radio play for… tomorrow. Hmm. :/
General not-had-time-to-blog-type blog
Filed under: — orudge @ 04/12/2004 11:58 pm
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!
Filed under: — orudge @ 12:02 am
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!
Scotland Aerial Photos
Filed under: — orudge @ 03/12/2004 10:25 am
Quick blog… just found this Scotland Aerial Photos site… very interesting. Be sure to check out the Orkney section! 😉
Maxine Carr?
Filed under: — orudge @ 02/12/2004 3:59 pm
There are rumours going around school that Maxine Carr, the girlfriend of Ian Huntley (who killed those two girls a couple of years ago), is meant to be moving to Sanday, the island I live on. No idea if there’s any truth in these rumours, but it could prove interesting.
In other news… well, there isn’t much other news. I’ve got the old Effigy stuff to get on with, as well as general French, English, etc, etc, stuff to do. So best get on with that, then.
December!
Filed under: — orudge @ 01/12/2004 7:51 pm
It’s December today… I still want to know what happened to the rest of the year. Oh well. Just downloading some stuff right now and reinstalling software on a computer… fun stuff, eh? 🙂
