Spacedmonkey

My Macbook

Normally I don’t write posts on my web site personal site about computers, I have another blog called ComputingCorner for that but this time, I don’t feel like I can help myself. For Christmas I was lucky enough to get myself a brand new Macbook and I most admit that I love this thing. As a person that does computing and a little web designing this thing is prefect. It really has changed my life at University to have a working laptop in my lectures. The only thing that I have not enjoyed about this wonderful computer is the number of people that talk to me about it. I can’t seem to get it out of my bag without someone wanting to explain why their laptop is better. I am really am sick of it. The number of people that talk rubbish about Apple’s computers, is amazing. Some of these people have shocked me with what they think you can’t do or just sillyness. For example, you guy told me that you can not print on a Mac. I am sorry but WHAT! I have installed three printers on my macbook and have not had a single problem with any of them. In fact it was easier than installing a print on Windows. I have also heard that Macs are really slow, which is the stupidest thing I have ever heard as my macbook boots and runs faster than most high end Windows laptops.

Just a quick note to all those who are reading this, I have recently setup my facebook profile to automatically converts everything I post my blog, spacedmonkey as notes. This means that my blog can be read from directly within Facebook and means my writings and rants get more eye balls on them. There may be so posts that are completely random, pointless, stupid, nerdy, weird or generally not understandable but keeping reading, their really is some gold. So if you are reading this as a note, check out my blog at www.spacedmonkey.co.uk or click on the original post link at the top that says “View original post”.

Hey everybody, just a quick note to say hello and that I am still alive. The thing is, spacedmonkey and all my web sites went down the other day I didn’t come back up for over two day. I must admit that those were two of the most horrible days of my life. I really have put lots of love into all of my websites and the thought that they would never come back up again really made me sad. So at the thought of my site going down, I thought of all the things that I have been meaning to blog about and have not. So I am going to try much hard to get some on here. I am going to try and write something on this blog at least once a week. Anyways. Just so you know, we are back and ain’t going anywhere.

After the success of writing for New years resolutions for 2007, I am writing them down again so I can look back on them and make sure I stay on target. So I am going to write a long list again, things I know I can do, things I know I should do and thinks I wish I could do. Right so here we go

1. Get an up to date Calendar, putting all coursework dates, birthdays and everything else.
   I am thinking about using Google Calendar and Ical.
2. Do more cooking
   This means that I should stay away from things that involve using Microwaves. When I do cook things, I must not over cook things. By cooking more myself I should be of better health.
3. See friends from home more
   Get people at uni and get them to come to Portsmouth.
4. Stay in contact with my family
5. Eat less sweets, crisps and chocolates
6. Pass my second year of University
7. Find time to find new music
8. Be earlier with getting form, coursework and other important things in.
9. Get a summer job.
10. Have weekend away with Bex Terry

I think unlike last year, I set some real goals. Now I think I can set to doing them!

It has been a year since I wrote my New years resolutions for 2007 and I thought it was time to see what progress I made on completing my goals for this year. It was a really good idea to write these things down and look at them again a while later. It is really interesting to see what was important to me a year ago. Before reading this list, it is important to have a look at the original list of resolutions.

Right so, lets go through the list and see how well I did!
