Well after maybe 2 months of downtime due to me getting muddled with the deletion of my MySQL database (nerdy stuff, don’t worry about what it means! Haha!). I thought it would be a good idea to restore a backup from February and then update the pages from Google’s cache (which thankfully worked! Yay!).
Anyway, just an update, I’ll post more about my exciting times in due course!
I’m still here, I was just in Southern California and Mexico for the last few weeks. I’ll try and get some more stuff up when I return, but for now, here’s a brief outline of my trip! Home –> Los Angeles (Hollywood) –> San Diego –> Ensenada –> San Diego –> Anaheim –> Home
Yo all! Just a quick message here to let you know that I do have some fairly incredible photos of the Mars Volta (from the Mars Volta gig) to post when I get a chance. I also should have some more Neil young ones too… I just have to get around to tweaking them slightly …
Quite a while back on this site I happened to post a picture of me and the car that I had at the time – a Peugeot 106. One that I was hopefully going to learn to drive on and pass my test in. Unfortunately this didn’t turn out to be the case due to a few small reasons… a) I’m not particularly lucky or skilled at driving tests (yeah, some of it is due to luck), and b) The bodywork didn’t reallyl last too long…
Though the title of this post may seem fairly complex and all confusing, I assure you it will not be so. It’s merely a collection of thoughts that I decided not to name ‘More thoughts’ or something along those lines…
As for the logic part, while looking around Waterstones (that would be a bookstore) in Edinburgh early last week, I found a very interesting book among the ‘… for Dummies’ and computing books – ‘The Fundamentals of Logic Design’ by Charles H Roth Jr. When leafing through it then, I realised that though a lot of the information contained in it may be really quite obsolete, and not necessarily relevant in these days of computers and so on, it is very fundamental to the understanding to all of the current technologies. To be honest, ever since reading iWoz (Steve Wozniak’s autobiography) and reading about how he managed to redesign computers with fewer (and a more optimal number of) chips, I’ve wanted to be able to learn how this was done, and essentially work out how to do this myself – as it would undoubtedly lead to better understanding of logic systems (which are just slightly fundamental to lots and lots of things!).
This will comprise pretty much of a list. They’re essentially things that would be silly if they had their own post. Something like Twitter would probably be better for this… Oops! Enjoy.
-The Eels are pretty awesome music to listen to. Mildly depressing at times, but I’ll get over it. I currently have Beautiful Freak (a steal at £4 no?), Shootenanny and Electro-Shock Blues! All pretty awesome to be honest.
-The VOIP app for iPhone/iPod Touch is awesome – if only the mic worked with the iPhone! Not entirely sure that I understand the whole SIP thing… isn’t Skype good enough for everyone? Somehow though I managed to make calls through this SIP service (OMG, it works!) but all the other person gets is some silence, a nasty shock. I’ll just have to wait and see how it goes!
Once upon a time I used to go ecstatically crazy over a Macworld launch and write all sorts of stuff about it and so on and so forth. These days I find it easier just to sit back and look at all of the cool things unfurl.
If you’re very new to the internet, or never really look at newspapers or take part in any other forms of communication between people, then you might not be aware that firstly, Apple has launched a new laptop (or notebook (which I believe is the more generally accepted term (at least in the US) these days)) and secondly, it has received lots of criticism.
