http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3422/3861775154_0c15011589_m.jpgWell after my two weeks and two days in Japan I'm back in England and arrived on the 25th August at around 8AM. The jet lag is mostly gone but I'm still not used to the climate. I remember when I first arrived in Japan I thought the airport was incredibly stuffy. It was a clingy type of heat that you could almost swallow. It felt quite uncomfortable to breath. I decided to go outside the airport to get some fresh air. That's when a wall of heat much warmer and much more stuffy than the one inside the airport hit me. That was probably my first surprise. It was almost similar to being in a sauna. I wanted to go somewhere cooler but it wasn't an option. You just have to endure it. After the first week of continually repeating "Wow, I can't believe how hot it is!" I began to get used to it.

Just about to set off to catch a plane at Birmingham International airport for 9:20AM. Off to Paris then on to Narita. I've never flown before so nothing like jumping in at the deep end with a 6,333 mile journey on my own.

Farewell! Smileing

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3443/3901236616_c0ca1c1e3c_m.jpgVersion 3 of Summer Daze has arrived without warning. I had been secretly running it in beta and decided it was stable enough to put live. The site is now up and running on the latest version of Odeebo and has been christened with a new theme which I built but did not design. The theme is based very very heavily on the Titan Wordpress Theme.

I'm afraid the news comments have disappeared along with the option to register and log-in. The comments will return as if by magic one day when I get around to it, along with site registration for all of my million divided by ten thousand followers! There will be a few more additions coming over time, perhaps a few big ones. Domain name change? Additional blogger? Porn gallery? Who knows?

Passed my Computer Science degree. Got a 2.1 with honours!

Yes it's true, the four long years have finally come to end and quite a good end I might add. Things turned out well despite the troublesome grades I got last semester. I have my graduation coming up on September 3rd, I have my funny looking cap and gown ordered too. I can only take a maximum of three people with me which means my two parents and one sister (I'm not entirely sure my other sister would have wanted to come anyway?). Would have been nice to have my grandparents come as well as my girlfriend.

Anyway, I'm back at work full time again working and like before, working as web developer. Also like before earning money again which is nice as I now have a handsome debt to pay off. Life feel a little unusual right now, a little lost as if I have finished something but don't really have any other goals. I'm certainly glad to be back at work rather than siting at home looking for work. I think that would add to the feeling of being lost otherwise.

Following on from A Journey into Facebook I have now come to a conclusion about the vastly popular social networking platform after over half a years evaluation.

The bottom line is thus, 97.34% of it is crap. That's not just a random 97.34%, that's an exact calculation formed using highly scientific research results picked fresh from my mind! More...

When you see yourself visiting a foreign country sometime in the not so distant future you begin to ask yourself questions. Maybe questions related to small issues such as health insurance or finding your way around especially if the country in question speaks a language you are not too familiar with. After considering the many minor troubles that might arise it suddenly dawns on you that you may have overlooked something very important indeed, something big, huge in fact, something that might make or break your decision to depart from the sunny, hot shores of England.
