Loading ...Another 1.00am
Big_Adam
Well folks it’s another wonderful 1.00am here on my desktop and I feel the need for a rambling post. Those of you who don’t like this (I’m going to delete you’re sodding comments. I’m looking at you Bob, you ass) need not read the following ramblings of a late night mind deprived of sleep and packed with oven pizza cheese.
I really shouldn’t be near a PC at this hour.
First up on my agenda! Anime, more specifically Code Geass. I’ve been following the series and it all looks like it’s coming to a close soon as Lulu has lost pretty much everything so I think he’s going with a simpler version of the “oh f**k it” method of working. I’m going to be a bit upset when this series ends, I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s had nice comedy moments (all be it over the top) and some really good drama akin to Death Note series. It’s getting harder to find really good anime in the sea of copy-paste love harem comedy series. I’m sure I’ll find something though, I need a good action one next. Something with blood, like Black Lagoon but more gore. Anyway, that’s that rambling though down.
Second, the John Gabriel “Greater Internet F**kwad Theory” is currently holding annoyingly true in games of TF2 of late. I’ve been trying other server and as I’ve only played the O.C server something strange happens when I go on other server. I tend to win. Not by a few points, I racked up 120 on a map of Steel. This then lead to a torrent of Halo style “fag” and “hacker” insults which then made me plod off the little server. I should write a paper one day, to either prove or disprove the John Gabriel “Greater Internet F**kwad Theory” true or false. Or I could eat this BLT sandvich I have here.
Three! I miss my Granny. My great-nan passed away recently, this lead to me bitching at my Uni (bunch of gits) but I recently went to my Granny’s house to help move some stuff out. My Mother and Nan took a CRAP load of stuff (one van and a car full), while getting everything onto/into/around the cars I had a quick plod around the little bungalow where my Granny spent here last years. It was still how I remember it apart from the light out front had rusted to death. The carpets, garden, it was just the same. My Granny had a good long life, it was quiet and nice. So I’m not really too upset about the whole thing. So long Granny.
Well, I’ve rambled on enough today, too much time for thinking of late. I really should be looking for a job in a fairly big way. It will be good to do SOMETHING gain rather than education, wouldn’t mind moving away for a work either. Although, if I was to move I’d want to REALLY move … New Zealand perhaps?

Loading ...F**K You Education System.
Big_Adam
Urgh, as some of you know (what the hell am I saying, no one read this crap) I’ve been struggling / getting annoyed at university. In my time at UEA (University of East Anglia) I’ve done crap all real work and general pissed off at the whole university thing in general.
I’ve done multiple “ice breaker”, a bibliography, been lead round the hell that is UEA at 8.30pm on a cold ass night after a 30mile drive and a full day at college, learned that copying work is WRONG, hated everyone and looked at bunnies. Then we moved to GYC (Great Yarmouth College) where it was slightly better until we got Mark and B(ald)-Mark who where not too bad but had to give us bull crap assignment that even they though was stupid.
Anyway, after that few months of hell I’ve been kicked in the balls by my college. I was planning on doing a top up from a HND to a proper Degree thingy and be happy about it. Learn some new .asp and a few other things I wanted to learn. The GYC called me tonight to tell me “We’re not running the top up”.
Pardon?
I’ve paid £750 for a university thing that I hated and waited a few months and paid UCAS £15 as well to process all this and you’re now telling me “no, you can’t do you’re degree here”.
After all the hell and toil it comes down to a simple problem of numbers. Okay, we where going to have three or four people but still, I’ve had less on other courses.
So now it seems my educational life may be at an end. I’ve rather liked being in education. I’ve met some cool people. Like:
Dave – Old but MASSIVLY intelligent chap. Very old school ways of talking and working. Knows string theory and many other things. Not the type of person you’d meet else where.
Steve – Only man who would ever let us test a network with a session of Half Life. He was funny, smart and we shared our films with him.
Andy – The slightly scary tutor but had a cool boat and a place in the south of France. Could get along with him well but he’d really teach stuff.
Garry – Proper techno geek. Had a Star Trek prone on his desk, double monitor, and a proper thrash work computer with 3 HDD sticking out. Really cool guy.
Mike – My 1st teacher at GYC. Really good engineer as well. Proper stand up guy who would really help me out if I needed it.
Now, I’m probably not really going to see any of these people again. Which sucks, well Steve I might see again as I can just slink into college to pick up a folder and drop off some stuff. That’s pretty much it though.
Guess I have to get a job now then.
God damn GYC and UEA.
I’m going to go read Fart Party to cheer myself up, or go all Emo.
NO!Must not go Emo!

Loading ...University and Me
Big_Adam
I’ve been doing a university thing to get some more points to get a degree thing (mmm, specifics). Anyway, so far the whole University thing has been a massive pile of crap and fluff. More fluff than any other thing I’ve ever done (Definition “Fluff” – A body of writing or text that really doesn’t mean anything to you).
So, here’s a rundown of my entire time at university so far. This is mostly made up of bits I can remember. So it’s going to be very rambling and crap.
Class 1. Ice breaker and meeting people. Also a thing on what you want from the class. Then lead around at 8.00pm at night to look at buildings. Why? I have no idea. I also add, the university is around 60mile round trip for me after college from 9.00am till 4.30pm.
Class 2. Hey look more people. Oh feck, another ice breaker. Fantastic.
Class 3. “How to use the internet” … no I’m not kidding.
Class 4. PowerPoint. God damn PowerPoint.
Class 5. Plagiarism bad! Don’t do it. We’ll find out, when we do we eat you’re soul. Feck! If you don’t get university don’t like you copying work then you really shouldn’t be there.
Class 6. Bibliography. Yep, that’s one whole unit. A one page bibliography.
Class 7. Feasibility study. Okay, that took some effort.
Class 8. Moved to Gt.Yarmouth College. This week, “reflective learning”.
Class 9. Skipped it.
Class 10. Skipped it.
Class 11. Skipped it.
Class 12. Handed in work. Get warning for “not being professional” in an email. Passed the unit though.
Class 13. Professionalism thing. It’s a big CV really and we finally get a GYCollege tutor who thing the 4 page brief is stupid as we do.
Class 14. Work on professionalism. Do a little in class and little at home.
Class 15. Same as 14.
Class 16. Same as 14. I see a pattern.
Class 17. Handed in work.
So there it is. My entire recollection of university life so far. It’s all crap and I hated 75% of it and still passed.
I’ve now got to make a PowerPoint presentation for my next unit. A single PowerPoint presentation. These aren’t little marks either, like 10 marks a unit here.
Higher education my arse.

Loading ...Real Rapture?
Big_Adam
Yay rich people and their silly ideas.
Seems a bunch of rich folks want to build a city in the sea with “with diverse social, political, and legal systems”.
Not sure if allot of people have heard of Andrew Ryan from Bioshock. Tried the same thing and ended up at the bottom of the sea with a bunch of overpowered super people and creepy little girls.
Okay, so they don’t want to build on the floor. They want a “floating” city. Still it’s a bloody silly idea but it dose lead up to a possibility of something I’ve wanted for a while.
Bee shooting hands!
Only problem is them damn dirty Splicers. So “would you kindly” read the link.

Big_Adam
Ever had a day that slowly seems to sink down to a pit of dispair?
Well, I am.
TF2 updated today and has completly f**ked all game play. When a uber critted heavy is ready every 30secs then you can’t do much.
I got a crap load of college work.
Youtube removed my video of a GTA:IV bug.
Youtube locked my account.
I got no money.
My gut hurts like hell and various other health problems.
… Damn world.

Loading ...Carbs, petrol and gease.
Big_Adam
Oh man,What a long ass few days I’ve had. I decied to finally get around to changing my single car to a pair of twin HS2’s on El Odio (my Hornet).
This changining the manifold, exhaust, routing new petrol lines, balancing, setting up. A fair few things all in the lovely tiny space of a mini engine bay.
So I pulled out the old exhaust and fitted the new one fairly quick (new exhaust also boils me petrol … which is bad). Then found I needed carb locator rings so the carbs lined up.
Orded them, fast forward 3 days.
Fitted the carbs, this meant taking them apart to get to the last manifold nuts. Next sorted the petrol lines. Then spent an hour “tweaking” the engine juuuust the way I wanted it.
Now, I have an epic little engine. Ported head, big exhaust (not chav boy racer big, but bigger than stock) and a lovely couple of ram pipe fitted carbs.
Lovely, do need to clean my engine bay some day. So now I stink of petrol, my back hurts, my eyes hurt and my engine boils petrol.
Damnit! It was worth it!

Loading ...Thin Woman Don’t Do It For Me.
Big_Adam
Well, I’ve coved boobs now lets more onto another part of the female form, the body!
Seems that currently in the big wide world of fashion (and what not) that the size zero is a highly debated thing.
The women of the fashion world (you know, the skinny ones) slightly freak me out. I mean I’ve seen more meat on a chicken leg than some of the people who are made to prance up and down. They seem to be four meters of leg then a head and some strawberries on an ironing board for a chest. No smile, just a frame and some extra bits to make it look human.
That’s not my thing. I don’t get the whole thing behind people wanting to be sizes X, Y, Z then again I’m a rather large man and don’t leave the house too often so what the hell do I know!
What I do like however is a little bit of tone and a little bit of weight on woman. Something like, Emily Booth. She used to do a late night clips shows with lots of random clips from around the world (like Cub & Wolf and various other weird shows, weird! Not Euro Trash weird. Damn it, what was it called…ah! Shock Movie Massacre) and she had a little bit of tone and was a gorgeous looking woman.
Another thing (we’re falling into the well of rambling rants here as it’s late and my system is starting to crash from all the sugar I eat all day. Need more chicken or something), I was watching a show called “Am I Normal?” It was a documentary about, well odd people. Not “freaks” but people who had either gone out their way to change the way they look or (in the case of the woman with the beard) just went “sod it” and let nature make its natural way. Anywho, during this was a segment about how a U.S.A. surgeon does a surgery where he’ll use a laser to cut the labium then sort of (in a very bloke way) stick it back together.
I’m sorry, I think I missed something here. There where medical reason to do this because of various medical problem but then he also does “cosmetic” as well.
…
Cosmetic!
This giver of life, this sacred gateway, this fairly joyous thing gets a laser pointed at it to make it look better? I really wonder about the world some days I really do. Thing is the guy then goes onto talk about his TEENAGED clients!
Crap on a crutch.
I can see how they came to that idea now;
Jim: Got that cure for cancer yet?
Bob: No better, I can make a vagina look really pretty.
Jim: Sweet!
Anyway, my point … errm … I’m sure I had one. Something about natural beauty, don’t worry about weight so much, alls clear on the wester front, chickens can fly.
Or something like that.
I’m going to bed, before my mind crumbled in to a fine purple dust of some kind.

Loading ...Snow, Cold and Kenny Rogers.
Big_Adam
I’m not a big fan of the cold.
It sucks, it’s horrid and it make my hands go odd purple colours. What I do like is snow, or “crisp” cold. The sort of cold that just is. No wind, no wet it’s just damn cold and crisp. I do rather like it.
Snows the thing though, I’m 20-21 now but I still squee like a little girl when some snow starts falling. Normally followed by me standing outside in it for a bit.
Right now it’s snowing. Right now I REALLY want to go outside and crunch about a bit. Or drive my car round a big empty carpark for like 10mins of slidey fun! I can’t help it, it’s just awesome. I’ll have to try and get some pics (camera keeps taking pictures of the damn window, not whats outside D: ).
Anway, last thing. Kenny Rodgers - The Gambler. Excellent song!
I also hate my mouse mat. Keeps making my mouse crawl off in weird directions.

Loading ...Annoying Fluffy Front Ends.
Big_Adam
I’m getting pissed at prog’s with fluffy front ends.
I’m talking the good looking but completely pointless front ends.
I’ve been using Nero 8 for a week or two now and it has not one, not two but at least three diffrent front ends you can use. All of which contains different options so you have to know which does what to do what you want to do (clear?).
The Smart Start has no DVD video burning options, Express is just crap so you have to use the ROM. It’s pointless! Back when I had Nero 7 (which I’m going back to) you got a nice semi-fluffy GUI which wasn’t too bad. I clicked what I wanted and went about my day. All was well, happy and lovely.
I have the same problem with dreamweaver, vista, MSN Messenger! All pointlessly fluffy for the point of looking pretty and annoying people.
Just needed to vent that.

Loading ...Immunosuppressive.
Big_Adam
I’ve been reading Focus again.
So please bear with me here.
Immunosuppressive drugs I slightly understand. If you have a transplant of some important organ then rather than accepting it the body tries to kill it. I understand that (well not really, stupid human body) so immunosuppressive drugs are used to sort the whole “body tries to kill it” bit.
Now, I just read Focus (think Q.I. the magazine) and there was a little snippet about some clever bonce who found a way to live WITHOUT immunosuppressive drugs. Which is a good thing as they are expensive and it’s something you could forget … I guess (yay, ignorance).
I though the solution was some sort of cool gene therapy or radiation … no. Instead this guys idea was instead of suppressing the immune syste, why not just kill it.
I’m a simple man here but that ring the sound of “bad idea” to me. Yeah, immunosuppressive drugs beat the immune system into submission but to completely get rid of it seem a bit much.
The basic of the idea is to kill the bone marrow off thus wiping the slate clean as you wouldn’t be able to make any more white blood cells. No marrow, no white cells, no immune system.
Okay, immunosuppressive drugs do the same but if you stop them you can stave off a cold at the risk of an important organ. Thing is the cold could kill you as could the lack of kidney so it’s a risk each way. Just removing the whole immune system just seems like a bad idea.
But, what do I know! I’m writing a blog.
