Mr-Paul Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Been at the Isle of Wight Festival for the sixth year running, despite the mud and horror actually getting there on Thursday, one of the best weekends of my life. Never drunk so much before, yet somehow held up and didn't throw up at all! Like @ipaul I wasn't a massive Bruce fan, got into him a bit in the last few weeks through his Greatest Hits, but seriously, one of the best live acts I have ever seen. What a fucking legend he is.

EEVILMURRAY Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Springsteen is awesome. There should be more fans around here. ADMIT IT. BUT! Tonight I begin I first late night shift. I've not exactly had the greatest amount of training (2 hours) but let's see if I can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Springsteen is fucking immense, he's unrivalled in the music industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 After a crappy long day at work it's been nice to return home to a cooked meal (well, salad), some wine and then later be joined by friends for Beat the Beat and random YouTube videos. Exactly what I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 BUT! Tonight I begin I first late night shift. I've not exactly had the greatest amount of training (2 hours) but let's see if I can pull it off. With two hours left I'm taking my one hour break. I can't stand having hem close to the atart of the shift... Things start to drag. It's an awesome feeling knowing there will be around 40 mins of work left. So long as I drag the jobs out I won't be standing around and the other bosses giving me their work to do for them. I can imagine Friday night won't be as quiet.

Diageo Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Installed Ubuntu on my laptop for the craic. It wasn't easy because my laptop already had 4 primary partitions and that's apparently the max. But now I know all about primary partitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Paul Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well done mr-paul. What degree is it? BA(Hons) in Journalism from City University London, one of the most respected Journalism schools in the world. Pity there is no money/jobs in the field at the moment, but this gives me a slightly better chance than many! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Have decided I want to stay on studying at Dundee and got for a MSc in Eye Movement and Cognition. Think it's a good thing. Well, it'll be helpful in the long run but not so sure staying in Dundee is ever a good thing Just waiting on my dissertation supervisor doing a reference for me and need to scan in my degree transcripts before I can submit the application but I'm hoping I get a place. Aced the Vision module this year so that alone should be good enough and my PhD idea that wasn't taken on can be used for my dissertation so fingers crossed. A small step but I'm slowly working out where I want to go/what I want to do/who I intended to be/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 So yesterday I turned down a job of about 35/40 grand a year to take a risk on something that sounded more fun. If I was my own son I'd say I were proud of me. Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 FUN SOUNDING THINGS!! (any excuse for a bit of Parks and Rec) Is that what this Darkly Dreaming Daedulus stuff is about? [/nosey] Good luck with whatever it may be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm just trying to recreate a classic movie studio logo/splash screen. Trying a few things out. Kind of like, Currently it's not great but yeah, total work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 The only thing I would say so far is it looks a bit like text stuck on a background. Try integrating it a bit more. I don't really have any suggestions as to how but that's what stuck out to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Perhaps put the words behind the signal waves. And those zig zag signal waves look odd when combined with the circular ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Exam results daaaay. I got an overall merit, and a distinction in 2 units. KEWL. (I'd already been told i passed, so i'm not MEGA hyper, but still... very nice!) This calls for chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
