Exam 2

So far I've finished two exams out of four. Today was supposed to be a really wonderful day of hanging out in the library, getting on top of things - looking for post graduate degrees and applying, making new cv's studying for the final two. But instead, I went to DCU to find out about postgraduates knowing full well I wouldn't be interested in anything outside the city center in a big state run institution that would charge through the nose. Right now i'm run down, entirely unmotivated, distraught for no apparent reason and without using a library computer.

Now don't get me wrong, i love working on a large flatscreen with a powerful new machine. It is however not the most ergonomically designed work desk i'm sitting on and I cannot personalise it with all my software tools. Zemanta being the notable primary.

Zemanta basically gives suggestions for content and imagery that it believes is relevant to what you are typing in almost real-time. So far I haven't had the opportunity to customize it too well but it does lend a fair share of imagery that although not too relevant does come in handy.
Well that's enough of that I need to get productive. Ciao

Spring really? Summer, you don't say.

Now I love the warmth and light of Spring come summer. But I do not understand people who start walking around in shorts and tank tops when it's barely reaching double digits. It's fine on a sunny day, but when it's chilly and overcast, not to mention windy, do not stare at me like there's something wrong.
I'm from a hot part of the world so barley 10 degrees does not equate to oh my god, I must wear linen and shades or I will die of a heatstroke.

Maybe it's my genetic prediposition and lack of body fat but i'm comfortable and oh so glad to be walking around wearing a jacket and scarf. It's not 30 degrees so pardon me for not breaking out the beach towel and sunscreen.
Speaking of sunscreen here is a very motivational yet sombre video: Everybody is free to wear sunscreen

Right so since i've hardly blogged anything of relevance lately, I thought i'd start again. This time I have plans to start another branch: A Technological, productivity type blog and a design/coding blog. We all got to start somewhere nes pas?

Some things I want to look into soon for the technological one:
Reviewing:
!) Wireless mice
@) Graphic tablets
#) Netbooks

As for coding/design I could blend topics such as the graphic tablet into that. BOO YEAY.

Hopefully i'll have the time to research and write reviews, but it will have to be based on secondary research because I just cannot afford to buy items just so I can review them. The point of reviewing them is so I can buy the right one for me.

Ok I should be studying now.... so :/ goodbye.

I got sunshine, on a cloudy day.

It's odd having sunshine after several months of micro days intermittenly laced with a break peek of sunshine.

Personally I find a bit chilly even though as soon as the temperature climbs northward of plus five degrees, the shorts and skirts come out. So at times I feel odd walking aroud with a scarf and hat, even though it's needed the times the sunlight is eclipsed by buildings or other structures.

Now if I only get the time to enjoy it...
