Took near the Abby

Took near the Abby

I don’t like valentines mainly for two reasons. One reason is that I am single and its always been that way for me though I suppose I’m in the early stages with the whole relationships thing. It rubs in your face that you won’t be kissing anybody tonight. The second I just think it a fake day made up as a excuse to go out and I don’t see why you need one. You can have a romantic time at any time of the year and I don’t see why you should be forced into it by the shops on a certain day. But I suppose I’m not that positive because I don’t have a reason myself to be about it.

I went to see Keane last night at The O2 which is in London for the international readers out there. They were fantastic and I had a really enjoyable night out with my family all together for a change. We was intending on getting there by train however we wasn’t sure when the last train was, so we took the Oxford Expresss which a coach that took us to Victoria station. From there we caught various Tube trains to get arrive there. The rest of time there we be posted in a separate post sometime later on when i’m more awake.

This week I will be over at Stoke-on-Trent from tomorrow evening which will be a mini holiday for me. I will be on the student radio, eating out, and doing all kinds of exciting stuff whilst I’m up there. I am taking my laptop with me however the wifi in the house I’m staying at is quite dodgy.

Anyway I need to get my sleep as tomorrow a long long day. :P

Tomorrow morning (if the snow or the ice haven’t closed the college), I have to do my radio show in my group which will be graded by the tutor. I am the producer of the show  which basically means that I am the leader and also that I do the mixing desk. I wish I didn’t say we go first as I haven’t had a chance to play with the suite due to the college being closed the whole week. When I wake up I need to get some songs and print things out but I’m too knackered at the moment to do that.

On Saturday I went to the gym and for the first time did my routine without a person assistant which felt good. However I forgot to do the stretches after the warm up which was silly of me. The water that they sell there really annoys me as the label keeps coming off and the plastic is thin. I will have to remember to bring my own for Monday.For some reason I get a rush from the gym and feel alive. its really strange.. I felt warm for most of the rest of the day as well.

Today I went to see ‘He’s Just Not that into You’ and I’ll give it four stars. I thought it was funny, had a good soundtrack and you felt cheerful and smiley at the end of it. I loved their version of ‘Somewhere only we know’ by Keane as they remixed it to work with the scene. I liked how you thought you could guess the storyline but the result was a tad different to what you taught was going to happen. I suck at reviewing movies but that my badly written view.

Talking about Keane, my family is going to see them at The O2 this Friday. I’m a tad worried on if the weather will muck things up and if my sister be able to get down from the North. I emailed their customer support to see what happens if you can’t attend due to extreme conditions however they didn’t want to comment in time for this post. I don’t think I should of mentioned my blog when I contacted them.

Dell and their sucky support for Ubuntu/Linux

200When I first heard of Dell preinstalling Ubuntu on a range of computers and laptops in Amercia, I was excitied and looking forward for it arriving to here. It wasn’t because I couldn’t install Ubuntu but the idea of Ubuntu being tweaked for the computer for you sounded good for me. So when I was shopping for a college laptop due the bad times with the one the college gave me, I went for Ubuntu as it was cheaper for it that way.

I wish I just spent that tiny bit more and had Vista on it as then I would of been treated normally. It would seem that the having Linux mean that their customer support freak out as their computers don’t have advice so therefore they blame your problem on Ubuntu and try to use that as a get out clause to direct you away telling you to call Dell Ubuntu.

It is quite clearly that Ubuntu isn’t the reason why my laptop isn’t charging as it doesn’t charge even when it shut down. The reason why it isn’t charging possibly because of a defective battery or a fault on the charging circuitry. Try telling Dell that. Well I did and asked them to have a look and if this is a case replace it under the Warranty. I haven’t yet had a response to this. Not even a automatic ‘We got your message response’.

I might get somewhere if I called them but their opening times is mostly when I’m at college and there not open on weekends. I wish my Dad would of helped me out but he is useless. When I had problems with my phone, he didn’t offer me any help and I was the one getting stressed out calling O2 when I needed to be doing other stuff.

Dell and their Ubuntu can get lost as far as I can see. I’ve been in contact with them I think since late October 2008 and their support hasn’t been impressive at all. Taking something like 2 weeks to response to a message is not appectable not is being treated like a idiot. I still got this laptop problem meaning it more harder for me to take notes at college. :(

Update: It would seem to be a more commen problem than I thought it was. I’m not buying anything Dell in the near future then.

If you like this post: please digg it. :)

After o2 filling in the order form incorrectly for the second time meaning it got delayed again, I finally got a phone coming my way. It may be a older model than the O2 Orbit 2 but a Nokia n95 will do me fine. I think it will be more better for me as I missed not having a keypad and that the fact it doesn’t contain pesky Windows Mobile.

Looking forward for new year to come as I’m travelling even more than currently which should be the best thing for the blog. Some of the places include the local panto, The O2, and Disneyland. Gonna be exciting times ahead and a massive rollarcoaster as I continue with my media course. However I’m sure things will have turned out fine this time next year. I hope I won’t be eating my words..

Its strange thinking that this time last year I were filling in a application form for college and was at school doing my GCSEs. It feels much longer than that yet I can look back at some of it like it happened yesterday. I’m glad that I brought a yearbook now as I can flick though it and laugh.

Photos are coming soon once that lovely N95 is in my hands.
