Well, it’s been a few days, so I thought it was time for a new blog. This entry is dedicated to one Ann Pan, who it seems will become my academic mother at St Andrews (assuming I get in, blah blah blah). 🙂

I had some post last night – more specifically, a replacement motherboard. So, I went and rebuilt my new system to a bare specification (processor, motherboard, graphics card, speaker), turn it on… “system failed due to CPU overclocking”, AGAIN! Another faulty board, great. It should be posted back tomorrow, and I’ve asked for a different board as a replacement (one which supports PCI Express, since when ordering the A8V Deluxe I’d forgotten that my current graphics card is only PCI and not AGP). Hopefully that won’t take too long to arrive there and be sent back. Stay tuned…

Was in town for another driving lesson today, it was fine enough – went around the town, did some more junctions, then went out into the wild countryside around Orphir and so on. Going out to Stronsay for the gala at the weekend, that should be fun. And it’s now, hmm, 24 days until my birthday, and 55 days until the exam results come out!

Hmm, Pan has just said “hellooo” on MSN, so I’ll post this now. That’ll be £25 for those mentions, by the way, Pan. 😉
