So far I've not had much traffic but hopefully that will change once I start to add more to my blog.

Most of the traffic I've had has come from Aberdeen, probably from my classmates, but I've had a few visits from London too.

Its times like these where I should throw in a random word or place name, like The Shetlands..

Where I Want To Be When I Finish College

It's something iv'e been asked a lot. To be honest i still don't know the difinitive answer.

Obviously I wan't to do something with computers but I don't know what. I would love to be a video game designer but I don't have and doubt I will ever have the maths to do that.

So far I'm finding this course relativly easy, most of the stuff was covered last year. Im hoping the HNC will be more challenging and that it will hopefully help me decide what I wan't to do with my life.

Holiday Fun

I suppose I should write a bit about what I did during the holidays, or at least make something up so that I look like I have an interesting life..

They didn't get off to the best of starts to be honest. I was scheduled to to be going to see Kataklysm play the Cathouse in Glasgow and all was well until about 20 minutes into the journey down we get a phone call saying the gig has been cancelled.

So instead of going to Glasgow for a gig, we ended up going to Glasgow To watch a DVD. Needless to say I wasn't a happy bunny.

Most of the week was spent taking advantage of not having anything to do, so I played a lot of games, mainly Football Manager, where I proceeded to split the Old Firm with Hibernian. It all ended horribly though as the lousy board wouldn't back my plans financially and sacked me, after all I had done for them! That's loyalty for you!

Well as you can see My holidays have been pretty boring. I suppose I should make up something like I'm secretly a top secret ninja and have been busy doing ninja type things but alas it wasn't to be.

Soundtrack to the holidays has been Serj Tankians "Elect The Dead" and obviously Nine Inch Nails "Year Zero"

I also seem to be addicted to the new Avenged Sevenfold song! Which is, in the words of Springfields favourite evil old person, Mr. Burns...Excellent

The Week So Far

So the holidays are over and once again they didn't seem long enough.

Back to the early starts and long days. To be fair this week has been pretty good. Its taken some getting used to though. Most of the classes have focused mainly on revision of the stuff we learned before the break.

On Wednesday we were using pascal in computer programming and I'm amazed to say I actually understood it, something I never thought would happen. Other than that every class has been just like a refresh, especially using html in web development.

Halloween was also this week. Sad to say i didn't dress up this year. My plan of dressing up as Jason Voorhees and battling my friend, who would be cunningly dressed as Freddy Kruger, failed miserably due to lack of funds.

I went to see Saw IV and i have to say it was rather awesome. Lots of blood and gore which is always a crowd pleaser! It actually asks more questions than answers, leading up to the inevitable release of Saw V next Halloween.

I haven't really done much else this week, picked up the new Birthday Massacre album on Monday. Its easily their best album. Its criminal that no one knows about this band. They are one of the most unique bands around and more people should check them out.

As the car starts to drive away it creeps into my mind that i could've gotten into the car of a phycho. I cant decide if im going to stay in the car or get out and bail..

One of My Hobbies

Xbox live is an online subscription service from Microsoft. It was started in 2002 for the original Xbox console and has steadily gained a fan base thanks to the fact that it gives you the ability to play anyone across the world at any game with the capabilities.

As well as offering online multiplayer, you can also download game demos and purchase games from the aptly named Xbox live arcade. Developers make unique games and games like the classic and personal favourite Sonic the Hedgehog have also been made available for everyone’s gaming pleasure.

Obviously you can’t just access the wonderful world of Xbox live with a click of your fingers, you need a few things before u can begin.

· A Xbox 360 console
· A Broadband Connection
· A wireless router and Xbox 360 Wireless network Adapter
· A subscription to Xbox live
· Gamer points (To access the games and Downloadable content)

The main reason Xbox live is very popular at the minute seems to be the recent release of every geeks excuse for not doing homework, Halo 3.

Having played it on Xbox live myself and seeing how I’m not too bad at good old FPS(first person shooters), its safe to say that there are a fair few people who don’t have a life outside of the game. Having not been able to play the game as much as I would’ve liked, it’s frightening how good some of the people are.

Overall I would recommend that anyone who has an Xbox 360 and doesn’t have Xbox live to go and purchase a 12 month subscription. You won’t be disappointed.

The Past Week

The past week has been another good one.

The highlights of the week have been installing a printer in Susan’s class and going to see Halloween in the cinema.

We had to install a dot matrix printer, and it’s easy to see why they aren't popular anymore. The noise was excruciating when everyone tried to print off test papers and I hope I’m never put in that position again.

I went to see Halloween which is a remake of the classic horror movie by John Carpenter. It has been directed by Rob Zombie, a famous musician come director.

Having seen how gory his last two films were I was excited to see what he would do with the concept of Halloween and how he would add his own twist to the story.

I wasn’t disappointed as it was very gory and holds the award for the only modern horror movie that has made me jump.

Overall I was very impressed and can’t wait for the next Rob Zombie film.

Bring on Saw IV.
