Hey, my name is Jake and I am student at UoP. I love coding especially in PHP. I hope you enjoy reading my personal blog!

So it's been a while

Oh dear... it would seem like one and a half years since I actually posted on this blog!

Surely I can do better than that! Well we'll have to see - as it's Easter I'll try and post at least something every day no matter how trivial or boring.

So here goes: yesterday (being 31st March) myself and Vix went on a lovely (but exhausting) bike ride to Saltash, across the Tamar Bridge and had a great time, as there's some great views out there!

Today I met Vix's sister Helen and her husband Stu and went for dinner in Prezzo, great food and good company - had a laugh!

Over and out!

1 week on

I have to say the foam party was a complete disaster, hated every minute of it.

Last night we ventured out to the SU, however it was quite boring as nobody was really dancing, it was more of a pub with people socialising in their groups.

So we ended up going to Cuba which was similar disaster so we just came back to the flat and chatted with some music on.

Today I am off to my McDonalds welcome meeting to finalise all my information and then get a start date!

Tonight Matthew...

Last night we went to mousetrap and stopped there for a short while but then just ended up making our own party back at the flat and invited some people in from Teresas, and met somebody on the floor below.

Tonight we are off to a UV foam party at Oceana!

Second night out as a flat

Got up lazily late, and had some dinner, decided that the fridge needed stocking up so spent 45 minutes walking there, back and aimlessly weaving up and down the isles looking for various things.

Sophie and Ian came back from home, and we are planning on going out to Mousetrap at about 10pm.

Moving into Plymouth

I’m currently on my laptop, hurtling down the M5 at 70mph writing this blog post on my laptop.

I have been in the car for just under 3 hours now, and we are halfway to Plymouth University, we had a fairly stressful morning thinking that we weren’t going to get everything into the car however Dad prevailed and managed to get the lot packed in, granted some of it is around our feet or on the chairs next to us.

New blog design

Yep, you are looking at it right now!

I decided last night to get rid of the old white and grey layout, and to also change it into a proper blog. You may see the events back again soon if I change my mind again!

A bit of detail about the new design: It only uses 1 image. Everything else is done completely by CSS. There are only 4 colours (ignoring the link colours).

If you couldn't tell, I LOVE simplicity.

Results and the University of Plymouth

So, I didn't quite get the results I was hoping/believed I could get.

Big deal - not.

Came home on the morning on Thursday 19th August feeling a little down, and slightly apprehensive as to what was happening to my life at that time.

Cornwall 2010

I've just got back from Cornwall, and all the pictures are now online for you to have a look. Some of the best ones are featured below, but for the rest head over to flickr.

Farnborough Air Show 2010

There are no words to express this event, so I shall just leave you with a couple of the very best pictures from the event. You can view the whole set here at Flickr.

Silverstone

I can't actually believe that I am going to be going to Silverstone tomorrow! Time has gone so quickly since we booked this, and I am very excited to get down there and get settled in. :D

This post will be updated when I get home with everything that went on while we were there.

End of another section

And, today (as will happen with thousands of students up and down the country over the next few days), my A2 exams have come to a close.

Over the last 2 years, I have had an amazing time. Met loads of fantastic new people (and some not quite) and formed strong friendships with people I hope I will continue for many years to come.

New part to the blog!

So, I thought it would be great to extend the blog out. What you are reading now is part of the extension, I decided that I actually maybe wanted to write something as a post, just something about my interests rather than event driven. So, in this space you will see hopefully some posts!

On the left you should still see the familiar events section, and now here will be the articles for the blog. The events will work as before, just click the post-it note for details for a particular one and it will drop down.

Until later,
Jake.
