I kind of wish Windows had Ubuntu's font smoothing/anti-aliasing. #

I love when you check @DeviantArt and have job offers. Do I have time though

Completed about 1500 words to far for a computing research tutorial next week, another 500 or so left. Out the the union in a bit. #

At home after a good night at the union. Now I'm eating cornish wafers with camembert, raspberry cake and a glass of milk. Yum! #

Really love my dad's Samsung X120, tempted to get one to replace my Q70. #

Why do we have so much work! I just want to work on Desura

Can't wait to finish this semester and do some more design work properly. Might do a free one too. #

Almost half-way through my philosophy essay. Come on! #

At the train station. Just have one lecture today then I'm off home to do philosophy. #

Just finished my essay on Decartes' arguments and proofs of God. Couldn't be more bored right now. Although it's finished, yay! #

I'm glad I proof read my essay. I ended up writing about Descartes 'testes' instead of 'tests'. #

Off to bed now. A worksheet on Hobbes tomorrow, some C# programming then some Japanese. Fun filled day :/ #

Student railcards make tickets 50% more expensive before 9… Who knew XD #

I love this poster so I took it

http://twitpic.com/16jabr #

Can't believe it's D-Con soon, just some work to finish first. #

Portal 2 just got announced – http://is.gd/9LsJC #

I don't normally say this but bash scripting can die for all I care. It's soo boring! #

Just fell flat up the stairs with milk. Thankfully I caught 95% of it back in the glass. #

Submitting my bash scripting assignment for this week. Now it's time to make a presentation ¬_¬ #

Looks like it's been a good night for The Hurt Locker. #

Good to see Vanessa Redgrave getting a lifetime achievement award. #

It's so quiet in the labs today. #

Just got beaten up by @benjgorman – http://twitpic.com/14pnc0 #

Holy crap! Are all the successful startup creators 33 years old? @kevinrose, @jack, @tferriss, @dlprager…Scary! #

Off to bed now, goodnight everyone. #

I've said it so many times before but going to try and get portfolio up this weekend and I get to show off the latest Desura designs

I'd love to know why VS2008 SP1 takes so long to install… #

On the train home now. Political philosophy is so much more interesting than Descartes! #

Erm…Good old Japan – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2VY5J5ZzoE – NSFW! #

Just uploading some web designs to @DeviantArt for the new @Desura design ideas – http://is.gd/91Kge #

Uploaded another design of a Desura page, opinions please? – http://is.gd/92eNB #

Submitted some work to the UI group on @DeviantArt today. Hope they get featured *fingers crossed*! #

I find it humorous that the new Steam looks so similar to my Desura designs. Even the buttons! #

With every click I make on Steam (@steam_games), the interface elements begin to look more like my designs for @Desura… #

There should be an age limit of 30 on self checkout service. Old people continually trying to push through a full trolly of shopping *sigh*. #

Watching the Six Nations and eating a Milky Way. Yum! #

That was such an awesome match. Glad for Wales, such a good burst. #

Just made myself a really nice chicken korma for dinner while listening to some Reel Big Fish. Oldskool! #

Sweet, Hannibal is our university's rector! #

Just watched Fight Club for the first time ever. Very disappointed. Saw the whole thing coming and was rather bored. #

Off to bed now, night all! Gotta get up early for the dentist tomorrow and then it's a long day ahead. Hopefully kendo will be good

At the dentist getting a filling then off to uni providing I'm not late getting seen. #

Whenever I have dé ja vu it's usually on the precipice of a tragedy. 2 trains collided in Belgium today and I got dé ja vu last night

Just got a voicemail from the dentist. Need to go back for some money since they overcharged me. That's nice of them

It's really hard to eat pizza with a numb left jaw… #

I love how tech savy people at our uni are. We've been asked to make sure our Powerpoints are Microsoft Windows 2007 compatible. #

RT @jbaldwin Great quote re iPad being "too simple" http://bit.ly/bFl7NG #

It's always awesome when a client's work is featured in PC Gamer

Just had horrible de ja vu again. Hope nothing bad happens tomorrow. #

I have no idea how people can work on large iMac screens. This is so hard on my eyes on lowest brightness. #

Does anyone know dedicated hardware that wakes you during light sleep cycles? I also really want a fitbit. #

Just been in hysterics at a website. I feel bad for mocking transgender lesbians. #

Very topical for today – http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/02/19/is-john-the-client-dense-or-are-you-failing-him #

Trying to tick off a tonne of work on my to do list. Really need the reading week to come sooner. #

At the dentists for a scale and polish. #

On the way to St Andrews for some kendo in a bit then will return home tired but ready for university tomorrow…Hopefully! #

Off to university now although quite tired. Really should go to bed before 11. #

Sumatra coffee makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. #

Starting on season 4 of Heroes now. Disappointed by the finale of season 3 but here's hoping to a better season

Stealing the iMacs in the labs since the wireless still isn't working today. Never realised how cheap iMacs felt. #

Testing some of my designs on the larger iMacs screen makes it look like these designs will scale well for large resolutions. #

Oh hello Google Buzz! #

Just got through @benjgorman's first half of season 1 of Heroes on DVD. Must get more! #

I really wish for a unified look across all Windows applications. #

Just finished season one of Heroes. Extremely awesome and very much like Code Geass for me. #

Why is there not enough time to do everything. Kendo, Japanese, design for clients, university work and more. Food will make it better

Morning everyone. Hope you all have a good Monday

Is sitting in the labs playing with Kinder egg toys. #

Off to kendo for some stress relief. #

I think I scared off a ned at the bus stop after telling him I had a sword in my bag. He doesn't seem to want change anymore… #

There's a guy round our house fixing the alarms. They've been going off for about 2 minutes now… #

Currently reading René Descartes 'Discourse On Method' and 'Meditations On First Philosophy'. #

Need to get through seasons 3 and 4 of Heroes by next week. This will be fun

Genuis – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwzklHZqkbE #

Wow C# is really quite easy… #

Now have a new whiteboard to make designs and class diagrams a lot more scalable when drafting ^_^ #

I really wish I could go to GDC this year. #

I love everything I do on a Monday but really wish it wasn't all on a Monday. #

I love my parents, they're awesome

Come on Monday, bring it! #

Somehow I don't think I took anything in this morning. #

Just found out I supposedly have 12000 free texts left. Anyone want to text me?

Really tired this morning, damn kendo! Only a half day today then dentist & doctors appointments. #

On the train to Dundee listening to some guys iPod on full blast playing 'Everbody Dance Now'… #

Excited for the Apple event tomorrow and I don't even really like Apple. #

Currently writing requirements and risk assessments for team project, fun times. #

The Apple tablet is sick :O #

I think underwhelmed is the word of the day… #

This iPad looks like the biggest disappointment I've ever known in tech. #

Could someone explain to me why I wouldn't buy a 'crappy' netbook instead of the iPad? #

I'm off to dinner, fuck you Apple. #

Off to the train station. So much work to do and so little time. Not to mention catching up on four seasons of Heroes. #

Gah, I really want to go to GDC

Thank goodness it's the weekend. #

On train home. Lots of work to do. #

Twitter help! Best open source PHP ladder/league system preferably for gaming. Or else a free PHP programmer? ^_^ #

Should be sleeping but playing Words on iPhone.

Oh well, holiday's over now. Guess it's time to get back to projects. #

Very happy Avatar got 2 Golden Globes, congrats to everone that worked on it. #

Everyone still looks asleep in the uni shop. #

Hmm philosophy seems quite entertaining actually. #

Installing Ubuntu on laptop for unix module of the course, listening to X-Ray Dog and writing up Descartes notes neatly in Moleskine. #

Back from the union now, and had a great time. Sadly have an IT lecture tomorrow. So much for a day off… #

Struggling to keep my eyes open this morning. Browsing fonts and typography blogs. #

Ooh, I have an invite to the Allods beta. Need to get home and do some designing now. So tired though. #

Off to bed now, kind of looking forward to the weekend. #

Can't seem to get enough sleep these days. Next 2 days are long ones so it's not looking good

Can't be bothered with a philosophy tutorial today. #

Listening to some 'Two Steps From Hell' to start my day. Also just ate a little of my dad's refrigerator cake, awesome sauce. #

On the train going home to work on some client projects. Finally a few hours of free time. #

Playing some pool and table tennis with my dad at Morton of Pitmilly. Good times! #

Just back from seeing Avatar for the 2nd time. 3rd time tomorrow

Really should do my japanese homework things…Oh wait, we're getting Chinese tonight. Score! #

Yay, a few more hours and I get to see Avatar again. I better get some supplies for the film :3 #

Mmm chicken, potato, tomato and rocket salad

http://twitpic.com/xodvg #

Off to see Avatar for the 3rd time now! Mustn't forget my RealD glasses. #

Time to watch some podcasts and eat some lunch. What are you up to? #

Went to bed early to get some good sleep. Alas I'm up 2 hours later listening to the Avatar OST. #

Off to Tesco for some milk and cookies, yum! #

Damn, I should've requested a Na'Vi for the #twitterpicture

http://twitpic.com/y27gj – Attempting to draw a manga-esque Jake Sully. #

I nominate @deviantART for a Shorty Award in #art because it gives me inspiration in times of despair

http://bit.ly/shorty #

Listening to Avatar OST and watching @johannabasford's #twitterpicture coming on great

Very frustrating when university systems don't work. #

Finally got my results, frankly shocked I got an A2 in an exam I thought I'd failed…No resits at least, well I don't think so. #

I hope James Cameron picks up a tonne of Golden Globes. #

Had a good game of RA3 with a mate and time for some dinner now! #
