Nothing ever lasts for ever and today saw the last of the snow turn into slush. After all the hype the ‘great freeze’ wasn’t really that great, not in Durham at least. Amazingly I actually learned something useful at Uni this week - I used the tools ’sed’ and ‘awk’ to be able to sort out a few bugs in my ‘Torrent Station’ scripts having been given a lecture on the them in the Software Tools module. I guess pigs will fly after all!
In other news I found out today that I have multiple personality disorder (7 to be exact!). The proof is in the pages - here & here & here & here & here & here. Although I have no recollection of the event I even conducted an interview from prison - read it here. And I thought sleep walking was bad enough!

…well it was half an hour ago at least! At last we’ve had some snow this year and some pretty good stuff at that. Durham is now has a nice couple of inches covering it with hopefully more tonight or tommorow. I took the oppertunity to take a few pictures and although none are brillient I did get a few worth posting - take a look here.

We may be more than a year alway from Episode III but already leaked footage is beginning to appear. Although whats turned up so far doesn’t really show anything that special (behind the scenes stuff mostly) if you’re into that sort of thing its worth a look. Get the torrent here.
Saw the film ‘Lost in Translation‘ over the weekend - It was pretty good to see Japan from a touristy sort of perspective but the plot was lacking a bit. It works in a very clever way with the minimalism of the film representing the emptiness that the characters feel in such a foreign city as Tokyo and the culture shock is shown by the juxtaposition of this with the busy metropolis that is Japanese culture. Definitely worth seeing but not Sofia Coppola’s best work in my opinion.

Went on a bit of a photographic tour yesterday night, the intention being to get some nice pics of Durham Cathedral all lit up, but unfortunately the lack of a tripod meant none of them came out very well 
Another opportunity might arise next week if the forecasted snow turns up, so fingers crossed it does!
Today has been fairly boring with the subject of the day being UML yet again. Having reached the ‘Design’ phase in the SEG project we’re now busy drawing lots of complex looking diagrams which all have to interlink and reference back to previous sections - fun. On the plus side though I finally managed to get Mac OS X printing over the network to the server.

A magazine article which could inadvertently kill? Sounds far fetched but when ‘Trail Magazine‘ published its latest issue it forgot to check the compass bearings it had given on one of its walking route articles which if followed would lead the unsuspecting rambler straight off the side of a 4,406-feet mountain. Opps. They have apparently apologized for their mistake!
