Need Umph?

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

I’m at university as most of you very well know. So, a caffeine boost is essential every now and then, but I’ve found something new… Umph Energy Tablets.
Caffeine in a tablet to be added to any drink… Coke with added caffeine anyone?
To be honest - I think these look somewhat like a cleaning agent you’d [...]

Destiny revokes my sleep permit

Friday, November 17th, 2006

I can not sleep. At all. By some evil turn of fate, it has been decided that I can not have one good night’s sleep at all this week. Tonight, therefore I’ve given up.
I should be more tired really - I spent a good hour or so ripping apart Martin’s computer to try to diagnose [...]

No Snooze

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

Somehow (a miracle of fate perhaps), I woke up before my alarm clock went off. Now, as many of you know I don’t get up, as a rule.
Let me give you an example: the night before last I swear I sleep walked all the way to my alarm clock, switched it off and then climbed [...]

Thank the Lord for Central Heating!

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

When God put upon this Earth huge tanks of damn hot water… Jordan was impressed.
This morning at approximately 5:30 am, we put the central heating on. Shock! (Note: We’re students, the luxury of constant central heating is something we really can not afford)
It arrived, it stayed for a whole 15 minutes, and then it left… [...]

Possible PBKAC May Occur

Friday, March 10th, 2006

Yeah, I’m so tired right now that it’s possible that a PBKAC error may occur whilst I’m typing this. However, I’ll try my level best to keep at least semi-conscious whilst I’m writing this.
Worrying. I did almost fall asleep then… I think I’ll leave this until another day. I’ve got my new rig (PC) and [...]

Computer Games and Late Nights

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Probably they are related.
Computer games are fantastic, however they cause stupidly late nights, which are also fantastic. However, for the first time I’ve actually found a reason why computer games could be bad for your health. For spreading the word about EVE Online, a rather terrifying individual who shall remain nameless (Carla), decided to issue [...]

100% Examination Completion, 100% Packed Timetable and 100% Starvation / Determination

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Exams are over. They went sufficiently well. Two went very well. Two went not so well. So, overall it’s a decent balance.
A decent balance is coincidentally exactly what my new timetable is not. As of 10 o’clock today, I have to work solid until 4 o’clock via a fun series of lectures, practical sessions and [...]
