Well campers, tis been almost a week since last I updated the blog and therefore I feel an update is more than required. You need it, it’s like a drug if I hold back for too long, you start getting the shakes!

The written Uni work for the most part is now finished. Oh dear god yes!!! There maybe some work to be done on the Strategic Management (Or Human Resources it seems) assignment next week after it’s been reviewed but other than that all that remains is three measly exams that stands between me and the summer of fun. Victory is Mine!

As you may have guessed I am happy by this turn of events… 🙂 Was even happier on Thursday when a lovely woman asked me if I was going down :), but that story I am saving for the podcast. I have to, it’s a lot funnier when you hear it as opposed to reading it.

With that in mind, the weekend brings all sorts of goodness. Tonight I attend dinner and a movie with my lady friend of the moment, the lovely russian Natalie, and then tommorow comes something which should be interesting: Alton Towers. Oh yes, following from last year’s successful trip where basically we all said we were Dave’s Helpers (as he has one arm) and pushed in front of all the queues, tommorow brings the sequel to that trip with more people, nicer weather hopefully, and the chance to prove that once and for all, i can handle the rapids without vomiting. Of course knowing my luck, they will take on the upside rides first so my stomach is ready and waiting to release its contents ever upward!!

Work has been going down a treat as it goes, and I somehow have been the arcitect to a solution, this being the product known as ISA Server 2000. No-One knows how it works here, and frankly neither to do I. But that didn’t stop me from having a play to see what happens If i did this that or the other. As you do. And I arrived at the solution which was setting up new rules and allowed protocals for IIS servers and also correcting an incorrect setting for the proxy, and lowe and behold I was hailed as a genius. Well done etc, ah it just felt like you know, when you release a great big fart and you feel less bloated. That’s how wednesday felt. It was all good. Also began pursuing my promotion with earnest, writing down all that I had done for projects and other work, along with writing in criteria I meet for the higher grade. I do fit in a lot of the boxes thought it seems. The main reason for this is MONEY. No other real reason really, I have to be honest about that, but the chance of jumping 10K plus for going up a grade, some effort must be used. I know, I know, effort is a dangerous thing to use at the best of times but then again I need wonga to pursue my dreams of taking over the wor…bugger. Move on, nothing to read here…

My New Microphone arrived yesterday, I am taking this podcast business seriously as this mic is worth a fair amount of wedge. A samson CO3u Condensor mic with a thing that lessens the sound of moving the mic and sounds from other directions, it has a full USB interface which is a lot better than the mic I had before, that was fine but the conncetion was always fickle and Recording so far seems to be more responsive, I also sound slightly more like me in real life so that will frighten a few people!! The script is coming on nicely, you will love the introduction btw! Oh yes, Hollywood can’t do better than i have created. (insert laugh here).

Mum’s away on Holiday atm, so the only family member left in the country is my sister who is cmoing to visit tommorow, oh just as I am away at Alton. Boo Hoo etc. 🙂

And keep an eye out for Travelsometimes, a new venture by one Mr. Steve Middleton. He has been around a bit (but enough on his social life) and he has decieded to share his expereinces (quiet at the back) of travelling around the world (see, not what you were thinking) and the new site will be avalible soon. As for my “not-so-secret if you know where to look” project, it is still in the design stage and will be until after the 17th of May after my last exam, then more time can be used for that endevour.

All in all, i feel better now uni is coming to an end for the summer and I will have more time to waste on things. Proper Bo, campers!

P.S. Glyn how did you get on? Tell Me now or I will be jolly annoyed! 🙂
P.P.S Slaughter I listened to your last cast mate, but haven’t had a chance to email yet, will do it the weekend!!
