http://www.juicedlime.com Restyling the web Sun, 12 Aug 2007 16:31:30 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Times change, and thankfully exam seasons go with them. I've been taking exams almost non-stop (or it felt that way) for the last 2 and a bit months and only now can I take a look back and breathe again. As a result, blogging ought to resume, in the same way that ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/IZo0CbIc_QM/the-end http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/the-end I took delivery on Monday of a shiny new phone to replace my now totally defunct k500i. First of all, I was mightily impressed by Virgin Mobile's swift service - I ordered the phone late on Saturday evening and it was in my hands by 1030 on the Monday morning. I ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/RF2EyB4aUw0/k550i http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/k550i As it is evident, I have rather neglected this blog for the constant pursuit of academic success - although that is strictly not true, wordpress informs me that I have a total of about 15 draft posts over the last month and a half which are sitting waiting to be ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/3K9iV_nZqwA/updates http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/updates So, the dust has settled after what is steadily appearing to be Gordon Brown's last budget and people are starting to see it for what it really is - a cover. However, the front to it is most definitely an attempt to drum up support for his campaign - especially in ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/gdDkLt2o7Vw/a-shade-of-brown http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/a-shade-of-brown This is, quite clearly a hot topic - and I have tried to leave this for as long as possible before making a comment on it so I don't have to either a) keep on editing the post or b) keep on posting updates. Iran have got themselves and us into ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/b1BqWm_usVI/iran http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/iran If you are intrigued as to why there are posts on here that a) predate the site going live and b) predate the site's current incarnation then I feel I should explain. The answer to a) is that even whilst the site isn't publically available, I've still felt the duty to ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/dVY2XUHepDA/import http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/import Please excuse me for a rather large lack of updates - I'm going to attempt to explain what's been up recently. In the last month (since my last update), I've totally formatted my main computer, installed Vista, cursed Microsoft a few times (but that deserves another post), installed Ubuntu, failed to ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/MMTg1BCfm8k/vista-ubuntu-et-al http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/vista-ubuntu-et-al I've just finished watching the extremely moving drama on BBC1 - "Recovery" starring David Tennant and Sarah Parish. The subject matter it touched upon is one that I feel that the general public as a whole is under-informed about at that is any sort of brain damage. It would obvious have ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/pbzDw4S053Q/recovery http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/media/recovery For the first time this year, I was able to go outside for a stroll down to the station wearing jeans and a t-shirt - no sweatshirt or coat or anything. Even in the shade it wasn't overly chilly and there was even the occastional person out in t-shirt and ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/PbitXPI-ZC0/sunshine http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/sunshine Well, this post won't actually be displaying on anything, but the thought is there. This is just a heads up to anybody intelligent enough to get past my rather flawed anti-spying shields that development is going well (but locally so you can't see it here) *but* my stocks of teabags are ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juicedlime/~3/sqnB_n_oCXQ/tea http://www.juicedlime.com/blog/ramblings/tea
