Well, its been a while since I last blogged.. It has been a good few months settling into University life. Its a great place here, loving the course and the people. Enjoying the freedom that University offers. As with all courses though it has its ups and downs but I am learning C++ which is great because of the freedom it offers, but it is so unlike all the other languages I have done before really and it requires you to really manage low level tasks yourself a lot more, which is great in some respects but not always in others.

Back in November I passed the 2 year mark with Nat, was a great night and was back in London.. Went to watch Avenue Q again, well again for me, first time for her. I must say I haven’t been to many musicals but I do really love Avenue Q, recommended if you are in London and have a spare £30.

Christmas and New Years were great was down in London, met up briefly last week with a few old mates from my primary school which was pretty interesting.

As for OSS Projects, I am working silently on something for OpenDocumentPHP, but don’t tell Norman. I am currently heading the Programming Team for the NTU CompSoc, but currently there is minimal effort from me and not much interest, however I am hoping to host a series of talks on Linux soon, hopefully with assistance from NLUG.
