I got a whole lot of stuff done. Well slightly. I did manage to do some work at first, finished off the examples papers for this year (yay) and had a supervision, but that&#8217;s almost where the work ended. Oh, also, I did manage to make a revision time-table, scheduling in (rough) detail every hour (well not quite) from tomorrow to the 12th May. Oh what fun times ahead. <\/p>\n<p>On the procrastination front. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I started learning Ruby. Primarily with <a href=\"http:\/\/railsforzombies.org\">Rails For Zombies<\/a> as part of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.codeschool.com\/\">Code School<\/a> (p.s. Rails for Zombies is free!) which looks like a great idea for people who can&#8217;t be at all bothered to read books or do much else in the way of learning silly and unnecessary programming languages at the moment, so me. It also prerequisitized (sic) that I had some basic skillz (so to speak). This involved <a href=\"http:\/\/tryruby.org\/\">tryruby.org<\/a>, which is also rather nice, and a fantastic in-browser idea. Anyway, for the moment I&#8217;m still plugging through with the Zombies. <\/li>\n<li>I made some sweet pizzas. Well this was actually a few days ago, and I&#8217;d been meaning to do it for a while (it had been open in Safari for quite some time). I made a half batch of this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fornobravo.com\/pizzaquest\/instructionals\/59-written-recipes\/92-classic-pizza-dough-neo-neapolitan-style.html\">recipe<\/a> which I found to be fantastic (I used half 00 flour and half regular bread flour with a little honey and olive oil) even after 3 days (with almost continual expansion) in the fridge. Made 4 pizzas out of it. 4 good lunches. Will be doing that again. Also, it takes like no time at all. So worth doing. <\/li>\n<li>On the same baking theme, I made some Rosemary Focaccia this evening. Using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aspoonfulofsugar.net\/wp\/2004\/04\/rosemary-focaccia\/\">this recipe<\/a>, which I&#8217;d used like 3 times before, and it&#8217;s excellent. Really is, and totally more-ish. Goes excellently with prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes, or even toasted with scrambled egg. Who knew rosemary and salt tasted so good together. <\/li>\n<li>I got new bike frame (a racing one this time!) off of a friend, and I managed to drain some serious time tearing it down to just the frame, forks and stem (which I fear may be stuck!!). It&#8217;s a early 90s Apollo (Halfords) frame made with &#8216;300 steel&#8217; tubing. Sounds like a dubious attempt to copy Reynolds 501, Google has returned little on the subject so far. However, it&#8217;s larger than my current orange fixie frame, and a different geometry, so I&#8217;ll try and build it up on the cheap, with 700c wheels too(!) and waste some more time. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wow, I actually think that might be about all for these two days. However, judging by my revision timetable, I have a whole lot more time to work, and do exciting things when not working. Yay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good start to the procrastination (umm, I mean revision) today. I got a whole lot of stuff done. Well slightly.
