Testing week

It's begun! Not testing my stuff, no that'd be far too easy. Nope, yet another testing run for visible. Seriously, sometimes I wonder who designed this. There are so many illogical wtf moments it's ridiculous. But anyway, testing means not working and not working means not thinking so let's hope the rest of the week is taken up with testing ^_^

Other than that, not much going on! My friend wants me to scan my face... I declined!

Night.

Catch up

Oh dear. It happened again. Mass distraction. Mmmkay.

So, Saturday. Fragalot came over \o/ I overslept, was almost late and then his train was delayed. For an hour ¬_¬ But meh. It's all good. I finally went in a little restaurant that had often looked tempting but I don't eat by myself so I'd never gone in - amazing pancakes! They were so yummy. Then we mooched around and finally got to the square where we were supposed to be meeting the others. And there were skateboarders <3 But then my camera died out of the blue. I hope it's just the battery or I'm so screwed and so gutted. I love my camera, it can't be broke :S But Fragalot took some cool pics so it's all good in the end. We also went to see Yes Man. Such a good film. Jim Carey is an excellent actor methinks. I mean, I think he goes over-board on the weird faces/noises things that he does. But without them he wouldn't be Jim Carey so...

Sunday... Electricity went out, a fuse blew or something. I can turn back on all the fuses except for the wired lights. Meh... cooking by candle light is fun ¬_¬

Work still blows. Talked to Dad today though he has fun skiing! And is going again next week... Ugh, I want SNOW!

Have been encouraged to take up writing again. I shouldn't have abandoned it really. So yeah, maybe I'll get some done... I hope so. I like my story!

Night night.

Yup, too good

Bleugh, it was a long hard day today. Authentication (no, I won't explain ;) ) still didn't work and my glorious loving boss decided to a) ask me to do stuff b) make me change stuff c) suggest things that would be nice THEN DO THEM WITHOUT TELLING ME So, yeah, ugh. And instead of a late night I decided to just leave. At six.

So I got home, reheated some food from last night. Drank an 89 cent small bottle of smirnoff ice, had some ice cream. And it's all good.

I also took one of those Jung psychology test things: http://similarminds.com/jung.html It was quite interesting. I took a similar test earlier but it came out with a result that was only half "me" this one however, is all me. Not all *of* me, there are some bits that are still present in other "results" but there wasn't anything I would disagree with. So that was cool. Check it out, see what you came up with. The similarminds site has its own "profile" page for each Jung-type but there are also fairly good descriptions here - that's linked to my Type. INFP. Sounds a bit wishy-washy but hey. Not everyone gets to share a psychology type with Shakespeare, ET and the Virgin Mary :P

I took the BBC brain-sex quiz too. I've taken it before, three or more years ago now. I have a 100% asexual brain! Woo! I think... Anyway, if you fancy having a go and don't feel totally embarrassed about the results post them up ^_^

Night night.

Too good to be true

Well it would have been wouldn't it? I knew it and it was. *sigh* I almost blogged yesterday but I forgot to hit the right button. Anyway I was having testing issues which Sietse fixed, followed swiftly by authentication issues. Not yet fixed. And then! Coding changes. Bye bye 20th February release. Probably... That or a late night >_< *sigh* fun fun fun. And all that jazz.

I was chatting to my new Italian housemate again today. She's so lovely ^_^ The only down side is that she's so chatty and I wanted to come back and talk to welp and people. She distracted me a bit from that needless to say. But it's ok really hehehe.

Ummmm. I've been playing with adding stuff to my website. I actually have a proper home page and stuff now! www.faeryforest.co.uk heeheehee.

Bed time...

Problem resolutions...

That's right! Problem semi-solved ^_^ The work one that is. Sietse came over and pair-programmed with me for a couple of hours. Again it was one of those "Let's change everything" jobs. But as it was only really the XML he changed and it was all made up anyway I didn't much care... But yes. Just a bit of tweaking, some testing, integration with Ewout's stuff and... we might have a release! Though I'm trying not to get my hopes up, seeing as the releases have never worked out before.

Speaking of releases - testing fun next week for VIZ >_< *sigh*

On a cool note though. Through a legal aliens e-mail someone had posted about wanting artists and photographers to help make e-cards as part of her new business. Just donate some of pictures (fully credited) to put on e-cards that managers can send to employees, she's trying to battle the "bad manager" issues that are often existent. It's a really cool idea I think and as I haven't much else to do with the photos other than put them on flickr and dA I figured I may as well put them to good use ^_^

That's pretty much it. Might hang up my rose to dry actually.

Night x

Meh

Bad day at work today. Just... people being arses. 115 days left \o/ Gods I hate it. I have that deadline tomorrow. Though I do think I'll be able to make it I just don't much want to go in. I'm starting think it's not really worth making cake for them either. I mean. Some of them appreciate it but on the whole... I dunno. Yeah. Just a bad day. Yeuch.

On the upside there's another photo meet up on Saturday *and* my belgian friends is probably coming so that should make it more interesting ^_^ I'm going to use colour film this time. Twenty euros a film (developing) is a bit much and as I get to pay for three more on thursday... I'll be feeling a tad poor!

Bleugh...

Happy Valentine's Day... and all that jazz

As I wished you all yesterday, I hope you all spent today exactly as you wanted. Within reason, I mean, if you wanted to spend the day with Johnny Depp (I don't blame you if you did!) then I hope this day managed to live up to slightly more realistic expectations ;)

Today was better that I thought it was going to be. I have a boyfriend, of sorts... We met on t'internet through a teacher as he goes to my university - so it's not just a random internet relationship! It's been quite a whirlwind to be honest! But yes, so we've been officially together ten days. Needless to say given that he's in Wales and I'm in Rotterdam I wasn't expecting anything. I really wasn't. So when I got woken up at the godawful hour of 9:30 ;) - hey! it's Saturday - opening the door to a lady holding a rose was quite possibly the most pleasant surprise that can turn up at 9:30 on a Saturday. Unless it was himself - that would have been pretty good too! Lazy person that I am I washed up a bottle to put the rose into, trimmed the stem etc. and went back to bed! When I got up two hours later I promptly took pictures of it ^_^

I didn't do much else today. I meant to go into town to buy a usb wireless majig for my computer but decided to stay in and talk to Welp instead. Which means I have to go out shopping tomorrow funfunfun! But then I will have internet and can put my computer online and maybe, just maybe, it'll work...

Go Wales in the rugby! Hehe, being French and English and going to Uni in Wales gives me a fifty per cent chance of supporting a team that wins the Six Nations! Wales are looking good so far for another Grand Slam this year which would be amazing.
