Today's Fun and Games

fiat_knoxI had a number of things to do today;
- A visit to Grosvenor Road, mercifully brief;
- Paying Mum a tenner on her phone (since she has no idea how to put money in the phone for herself, it's my job to do so for her);
- A long visit up to the college to meet up with my good friend Wendy during her lunch break.
When I was up at Glyndwr College, I spotted something I definitely am interested in: the Glyndwr College Old School Tie, a maroon silk affair bearing the Glyndwr crest in colour, the same crest repeated as an outline motif on the tie. Twenty quid, squire, and that's my final offer.
I guess I'll have to dig into the Royal Bank of Sock next Tuesday to buy it. Might as well. As I'm a proud Alumnus of Glyndwr, it falls upon me as an unofficial representative to display the colours of my Alma Mater whenever I am in public.
And next Tuesday will be an excellent time for me to start. There are events taking place in college on the 17th, and even if it is not relevant to me I can at least turn up with a notebook and write up a report on the events to put into my blog afterwards.
That reminds me. Note to self: must get Lucy back from Sam over the weekend.
I've sorted out the flat, and battened down the hatches. The weather outside sounds appalling. At least I have been blessed with exceptionally good timing - the bus always came before I got too wet standing around at bus stops.
Okay, well the first half of the dead watch (17:00 - 19:00) is almost at an end. I think The X Files is on somewhere, and even if nothing of interest turns up I can always either watch the Sarah Jane Adventures or last night's episode of Defying Gravity on iPlayer, design another new vehicle from the Mongoose Publishing Civilian Vehicles design thing, carry on with my psion book or my story, or continue with my language or vedic mathematics studies.
There's a particularly juicy PDF article I've downloaded, "A Generalized Recursive Algorithm for Binary Multiplication based on Vedic Mathematics." I'm keen to see if I can take something from this paper to use in, say, creating speedier and more efficient Java code.
