Death of a bookstore

30-Dec-09

Borders has finally disappeared from UK streets, I must admit out of all the recent big closures this has been the one that I missed the most. It was a place that I’ve seen for the past 7 years of my life, nearly every day on my way to university.
I have walked by it, through [...]

A day at the races

01-Jul-09

After a hard days work I was much confused by the fact there seemed to be a racing match going on around George Square in Glasgow, I being a curious sort decided to record part of the event and whipped out my N82 taking a few pics and a video

Meng Tradeshow Group Project

30-Apr-09

Today the final year MEng (5th year university) students had a tradeshow, to show off some of their project work for the past year. I did this myself last year, so I’m quite keen in what they have been up to.
It’s always a good time and as expected sweets and drink were available. Not that [...]

Slow day

07-Apr-09

*yawns* It’s been one of those days, stuck writing up experiment/simulation, well not stuck. I just need to do it and honestly I can take a break from the reading.

‘Shopped

25-Mar-09

From hunting wild game and avoiding nasty grey squirrel rights activists, I bring you something from the fantastical world that is called news-land.
Tonight’s headline revolves around a little known game of Minesweeper, and how you could foil the next major plot that potentially, maybe, involves Tom Clancy plot lines and/or 24′esque style subterfuge.
Yes, your country [...]

The great weekend hunt

23-Mar-09

Ah the weekend over so soon, and it was full of disappointment too.
On the Sunday I went for a walk and sauntered through my local park, it’s great calm, peaceful and full of wildlife. I go through often, and on this particular occasion I decided to grab a bite too
Yummy, just what I was looking [...]

Caught in the act by Google

19-Mar-09

Today something I’ve been waiting for a few months now has finally happened, Google Street View UK has finally gone online. This useful gem will make sure I will not get lost again if I ever decide to  visit somewhere that is covered it by it.
For those that don’t know, it’s basically a street level [...]

The adventures of Eddie – 1

18-Mar-09

I’m alone today.
I’m not a big talker so maybe it’s a failure to communicate on my part, yet I have so much to say. Been sitting here for a few days now, observing the world pass by. At least I’m warm and healthy, although getting around is a chore I’m happy with my perch. Been [...]
