http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk ...experiencing life through the medium of computers and cheese since 1985 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 12:36:44 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Admittedly I've never been that great at 'blogging regularly, but of late it's been even worse, and it's not even like I don't have the time... Perhaps it's more that a good cup of tea is just that much more interesting than attempting to make the mundane life of a IT ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2008/02/28/lack-of-drive-to-blog/ Well that's it, I've finished university, I'm scared. Almost everyone moved out over the past week, Phil went whilst I was away at BUSA Outdoors, shooting truly appallingly in the rain. Being accurate at 90m with a bow is hard. In the meantime, I'm applying for jobs, and trying to handle being ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2007/06/18/end-of-an-era/ Here I am, once again in a OpenGL 3D programming lab, thinking about blogging instead of coding in C++... Shame! We just received the coursework spec. for Computer Graphics, it sounds like a good fun project actually, we have to create a scene using OpenGL and GLUT implemented in C++. I'm thinking ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2007/03/14/opengl/ Somehow...debian or pymsnt is broken... Every time I try and restart the MSN transport, it tells me I don't have the python-twisted libraries installed, or the wrong version, but I don't, they're installed and they're the recommended versions. GRR! It was working perfectly yesterday, and no packages have changed between then and now. I ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2007/01/02/grrgoram-pymsnt/ Mother reckons the whole of the Middlesborough diocese are a bit weird in their approach to the church and to the Mass. I think I'm inclined to agree...Midnight Mass was awful again this year, but at least I wasn't in a bad mood to begin with, as per usual the ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2006/12/28/lack-of-singing-in-middlesborough-diocese/ Well another year draws to a close, and Christmastide has come once more. It's been an odd year, all told. I've not looked forward to finishing Uni quite so much, and whilst I don't really want to leave, I want to finish my course, because it's annoying me somewhat now, ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2006/12/24/ho-ho-ho-merry-christmas/ York vs Bradford vs Lancaster I am writing this with my mouth hanging open in shock. I came 8th in the NEAUL match last Saturday with 452 (8 golds), I didn't even think I'd scored much over 400...certainly not enough to beat my previous personal best of 436 by 16 points. *bounce* The match ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2006/12/01/shocked/ Given a certain reader's protestations about me not updating often enough, here is a new entry. Bow News On Saturday, Steph and I shot a full Portsmouth round, 60 arrows shot in (ostensibly) 3 arrow ends, we did 6 arrow ends for speed, on a 60cm Portsmouth face. I achieved a new ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2006/11/07/under-protest/ This weekend I shall be mainly in Hull. Not because it's a particularly nice place, but it has at least one nice person in it. Official: Toria's student house doesn't suck. Well apart from her light fitting exploding (read: fell apart in someone's hands), though that was easy enough to ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2006/10/21/away-for-the-weekend/ Well I finally got round to adding the link to this blog onto my home page, which is potentially something I should have done ages ago, but I'm lazy. I went to the archery shop in Farsley last Wednesday, to no avail! They didn't have any left handed Eclipse risers in, ... http://blog.niallfleming.co.uk/2006/10/11/long-time-no-blog/
