Category Best of.., Disneyland Paris

I woke up atiny bit earlier that morning as we found that we didn’t allow enough time last morning to get up. However it took me to have a shower first again to encourage Adam and Sam to get up. Breakfast was more easy as I knew the ranks of it all now. I had orange juice plenty of times and I was drinking it just I after I poured it from the machine. The glasses was really small though. I had my useal of hot chocolate and bread rolls aswell.

I went around the park with slightly different people and started in the studio park for a change. I started on Aerosmith and went on it like five times after each other. Each time moving slightly more to the front of it. It much more better at the front of it. I worn my glasses this time as James told me that you could and was strange how you didn’t loose or break your glasses on it.

I was feeling really ill at lunchtime and just wanted a drink but Sam encouraged me to have a meal. At first he thought I didn’t have the money and offered to pay which I thought was nice of him. However I said I just didn’t feel good and paid for it myself.

I had my group photo shoot at 2pm and the group found me and Jessica. We ended up going on this ride where you drive a lawnmower car around a fixed track. I had a faster car than the car in front of me which was annoying as I wanted to go flat out.

At the end of the day I managed to lose both of the group and panicked catching the bus to the hotel. I met up with some people I knew there though. After doing this quiz and the photo shoots outside, we hanged about waiting for the bus. I was on the floor facing the other way and when I dashed for it, I managed to damage my neck and back. I didn’t feel the pain at the time.

At the station, it took ages for check in to open. I was the first person in to it though but ended up having to line my bag up and waiting for a sniffer dog to smell all the bags. This meant that everyone else in the trip went on and I was stuck there till the dog was happy.

The jounary back home is when I noticed I injuryed myself when I sat in my train seat. I couldn’t be as social as I wanted to be as I couldn’t move very much. I went to the cafe though as standing up felt better. I had the last chocolate brownie, a bottle of water and a hot choccie. I loved that brownie when I ate it.

The coach was waiting for us within the Eurostar station and jounary to the college was alright. My mom was already at the college when I got there and got home quickly thankfully.

Dell and their sucky support for Ubuntu/Linux

Category Life up to Nov 2009

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.

Stoking things up

Last night I arrived back from my week trip in Stoke-on-Trent. In this post I shall briefly cover the whole week and compact things down little. It was a fabulous week though and shall come up again another time soon in the future.

On Saturday I arrived late morning and I didn’t do much apart from settling in to the house and stocking up things like bread and butter. I had such a nice breakfast which was a meatball sub from Subway. I enjoyed every bite as I was so hungry. When I arrived at the station, I changed the return ticket to move it a day later and was chuffed that I ordered a 1st class ticket. It costed me a £10 fee.

On Sunday I shoved some newspapers in some of the nearby house and was relived when my sister announced to me that she fed up with that job as it the winter and not as safe or fun as it is in the summer. Some of the places on the route got really steep hills and I do wonder how she hasn’t broken her neck so far.

On Monday I think I just lazed about and watched Saw because it was on television and I just found it was mainly gore. I really liked the concept behind the movie but I would never ever want that to be real life though.I think I would of been really confused about the whole thing if I didn’t look up the movie on wikipedia.

On Tuesday, I went into Keele and went in to the coffee place to meet my sister as she went in by motorbike. She was a tiny bit annoyed to find it was snowing outside because of it but she enjoyed it and proceeded to write a lovely message to her girlfriend which was sweet. I think I dropped into NAGs to see how they were doing but I didn’t notice a tweet to say there wasn’t any room because my small Acer One battery ran out. I also DJed at KRAP. It was very old school as I just shoved my sister cds in a bag and catch the bus as I didn’t have the time to listen some tunes and burn a cd. The stuff you DJ with is quite easy to work.

On Wednesday, I co hosted a show at lunch time on Keele’s student radio station. It was great fun but my finger aked afterwards cause I was forced to be refreshing the messages page cause a fault with the server meant that the station was running on temp server whilst they sort the problem out.

On Thursday, I went to Alton Towers. I shall talk on this futher on another post as it deserves a post for itself.

Then on friday, I went into Hanley. Look around in the shops and found myself a hulk cap that I liked and Much Ado about Nothing on DVD which shall be useful for revising English at home. I was well chuffed by the discount of 50p. Yeah! I can spend this 50p on a chocolate. The train arrived 20 min late in the evening but the 1st class travel was great. they improved muchly since was time I 1st classed it up. They had food I liked for once and I had my money worth of ‘freebies’ they offered.

So yeah. that was my week off spent in Stoke. I enjoyed every second of it but now I got to live with the fact that I got some typing up to do. Oh well.. better get stuck in!

Category Year round up

Please note: Photos in the post I have linked to may be broken due to the many server changes this blog had.

2007 is nearly ending and what a eventful year its been for me.

It started off with some snow fun and having great time in TGI Fridays. Apart from them two things I didn’t really do much that was exciting at the start of the year and the blog had its first ever Hiatus.

The next eventful thing that happened to me was going to my first ever gig which happened to be Keane. At school I got my first ever DT which was at the PE block. I took a photo of me wearing a red nose (now password protected) with the Walkers ears.. I later regret doing this as I uploaded it here which then meant other people saved it on their computers. The cold weather were damaging the cars at my house and caused problems for me.

In March, I was the first person to use a Key on my bus (not official but true :P ), everybody around the school had red hair but I didn’t as I had a brain to know the school wouldn’t like it and Virgin Trains didn’t cock the trip to Stoke at least.

In April, I nearly got sued for saying how crap a local band was. I decided that I didn’t get on well with the people I hanged around at the time (I didn’t like the bitching and the judging they did) and made a big choice. I buggered off and accepted the invite by Tom Loader and hanged around with his mates. My friendship with Tom Loader probably wouldn’t never of happened if Miss Buchanan didn’t force me to sit with him at form time.

‘I used to felt that I’m generally the one that now stand there in a group of ‘friends’ and has nothing to say that could relate to the conversation… I’d try and join in abit I felt a fool and small/silly for sayin’ something cuz I thought that it just didn’t fit in. Sometimes I used to just wanna sit in the corner and hide. I don’t feel like that any more with my new group of friends, yes I call them friends, and I’m talking and laughing all the time.’

In May, I was forced to talked about my dislike of some foods (I was a tiny bit mad) and ended up talking bananas. I was struggling with the coursework given to me, and wasn’t handling this in a really good way. I was basicly sorting my life out in this month. I changed drastically and felt more happy by the end of this month.

The same sorta thing was happening for afew months. There isn’t much worth mentioning till it gets to June. It was the month that my first ever own computer died. I started getting my arsed into gear in PE and started taking part in PE. In Science, I decided to ignore some good advice and exploded a glass tube which had a rather loud noise. I went to The Feeling gig also.

At July, some major events happened that effected everyone. I went to London when they found bombs and Abingdon flooded which meant I stayed in Stoke for awhile.

August nothing much happened apart my mum handbag got nicked and I went to a folk festival in
Cropredy. September is pretty much with the same as in not being eventful apart from Lulworth Cove.

In October, I was invited to the school on the first day of the half term holidays to do some English revision. I sided on some ice and injured myself, and saw the work happening on the school grounds.

In November, my age increased as I had a birthday and I discovered a thing called a razor. It didn’t shred my skin..

And now we have reached this month. December.. Well apart from seeing loads of movies at Cineworld and going into Oxfords lots.. I haven’t done much this month. I wonder what 2008 will turn out like?
