You look like the guy from the piano improv video

Ooh yeah, that list a while back. It was Ben I think wasn't it? Was it the same people on the list?
-
Something like that. I'm more annoyed for my friend for whom it actually matters.

It's too late now anyway. It's still ridiculous, but I really don't care what I get in that class anyway. I've done 0 work in it other than the project, which I only did because it was fun. The coding part anyway. So meh, it's not worth the aggro. My entire year this year means bugger all anyway. It's a nothing year while I wait to start uni.

VERY pissed off right now. My Computing "teacher" gave us a marking scheme to work to for our projects, which count as 40% of our final grade. Now he's marked them, to a different marking scheme, and given us that as our final score. I got 62/80. Now this is annoying, but if he let us take them away and redraft them over the Easter break (as he is completely allowed to do, redrafts are encouraged in fact) then we could adapt them to the new marking scheme and I could be getting close to full marks, maybe around 75. But he isn't letting us do this, because he can't be bothered to mark them again after the holiday. Even though he'd only have to check the area's we have changed, so it will be maybe a quarter of the whole thing. So basically, I'm losing about 10-15 marks due to his lazyness. Thats potentially 5-10% of my final grade. And the grades are broken up by 5% chunks - a low B is 60%, a high B is 65%, an A is 70% - so basically, my FINAL grade is going to be 1, maybe even 2 grades lower than I deserve due to his incompetance and laziness. Edit: What makes me especially angry is that my friend has even more marks he could gain, and he has a conditional for his uni application. So if he misses his condition by 10% his entire future is changed because of the teacher's inadequacy.

They are true, and he is heading back to Parkhead. I hope.
-
What the hell kind of useless insurance pay out doesn't cover the cost of replacing it?
-
T in the Park is pop shit. But it has Muse and a couple other decent bands. Reading these days is pop-rock shit. But it has a couple decent bands and no big redeemer.
-
Even the T In The Park line up is better than that :X
-
Big fat meh from me for that line up.
-
How can they expect me to buy a ticket without knowing the line up?
-
YEssssssssssssss. Physics report done. Which means other than any little changes I need to make redrafting, all my coursework for this year is finished. Most excellent.

Car broke down on the way to work today. Which is awesome, considering my job is to drive around. Fairly confident I'm gonna be told to get lost next time I go in. Edit: Noticed something weird today...when I'm lying in bed playing my DS, every 5 minutes or so the blood flow in my arm gets so low that I need to stretch it out to stop my fingers going numb. I think it's something to do with the way I lie, with my arm about as bent as it can get. When I straighten it out I can feel the blood moving down my arm again, like from that vein thats visible on the inside crook of the elbow. It's worse on my left than my right, but happens both ways. Is this normal?
-
That is quite impressive Eddage. What happened?

Today I finally handed in the Computing project I've been working on since December. The actual program is just a Visual Basic port of Space Invaders, but all the documentation that goes with it was boring as hell and took bloody ages. The final print out is 56 pages long. Got the weekend to finish writing up my Physics investigation aswell, which is gonna be around the 40 page mark. Kinda pushing it time wise to have it done by Monday at my current workrate, still have a full experiment (about 8 pages of the 40) plus bits and bobs of the others to be done, then the final evaluation. Of course despite this I'm still going out this afternoon, tonight, tomorrow afternoon and possibly night, and Sunday afternoon. Like I said, current workrate and all that. I always thought that was the intended use for it. And no, not in Scotland. Hell, if its for Irn Bru, you could get away with doing it naked.

I do like the idea of the New York race. Especially if it's at night. But there are far too many street races these days.

Today was pretty good. I got like triple my normal amount of tips at work. Oh, and I just discovered the best drink ever - Jack Daniels and Fanta Lemon. It's amazing. I could get properly wasted so quickly, I can drink it like a soft drink.

Surely doing the Masters is a good thing?

I don't understand the point of head tracking. When you turn you're head you'll be moving your eyes away from the screen, so you'll only be imitating the action. If it isn't natural, whats the point?

Kevin Devine is perfect Sunday music.

"Let's get change the points system so that people are more inclined to push to the end for the victory" "Let's change the pit stop reg's so that people stop racing 3/4's of the way through to conserve the tyres" Erm...

Yeeaah, new F1 season bitches!
