I've heard it said that wedding planning is one of the most stressful things you can do. I laughed at this, because friends of mine have got married with seemingly no stress at all. I decided I wanted to be a chilled out bride, and not stress. Fat chance of that, I think now. Wedding planning is quite hard - the main problem is that you can't keep ( Read more... )

So I mentioned that Jimmy and I watched a lot of anime, and this is a pretty new thing for me. I'd never watched any anime before I came to university (apart from Pokemon, and I didn't know it was anime and would hesitate before I'd call it *real* anime these days anyway) and anime was my introduction to the Sci Fi & Fantasy Society. (And look ( Read more... )

I feel I've broken the golden rule; I've only now realised we've shown three remakes this semester rather than the originals. My reasoning for this was that the remakes were recommended over the originals, but part of me feels we should have just shown the originals anyway, because that's just what you do when you're pedantic about your sci fi.

I had a blood test this morning. This in itself was fine, except the wound was bleeding profusely within 10 minutes of leaving the doctors and today is the first day I have worn a white jumper in a while. Draw your own conclusions there ( Read more... )

My newest happy fun challenge is to upgrade the sci fi forum system from phpbb2 to phpbb3. This has started badly. In order to upload the system files to the servers, I should be able to use "shell access", and PuTTY is asking for the IP address of the website in question. This is where the fun starts ( Read more... )

I've added something new to my list of "things my parents may disown me for ( Read more... )

We had 69 sign ups at the socs fair. It was worth it for the look on the VP Sabb's face when I told him - "Really?! That's quite impressive for Sci Fi!" and I was thinking "is it? I had no idea what to expect." But yes, I think this is a very good number ( Read more... )

With a little help from Toaster and Craig I have finally updated the website and the BathStudent page. I feel accomplised. I feel organised. I feel proud. I feel seeeeeriously smug ( Read more... )

Inevitably, remote desktop wouldn't work because I was trying to run it through vista. On my mum's laptop, which runs XP, access is fine. This doesn't solve the ZOMGWTFftp?!!!1! problem but at least I can get at the server. Dreamweaver doesn't appear to require fluent programmer language to make simple changes and I can therefore update the ( Read more... )

I've got the Paralympics on in the background - Teuber won a medal this morning and I'm really hoping that the BBC are going to show his race. Since I started watching 2 hours ago they have shown the 5 cycling races preceding his event and I'm a bag of nerves waiting to see if his event comes up. (LC4 3000m Mens' Individual Pursuit. A Brit broke a ( Read more... )
