A life stuck on Repeat
Did you know that Nostradamus was able to predict stuff by taking events from the past and realising that History has a very circular nature to it?
For this reason i should not be surprised that i have repeats, if i did not then Nostradamus would have been screwed!
But seriously i'm 3/4 days from first repeat and I don't feel it, maybe i'm desensitised to it, maybe i just don't care, or maybe i'm just super chilled, either way, i'm ok about them.
So anyone want any predictions, give me a shout and i'll sort ye out for a tiny fee, a mere admin cost!
Enjoy guys!

Vista Bashers Beware
I love Vista.
There I said it. I'm out of the closet.
Vista rocks.
I'm coming out now because I'm sick of how some people feel that just because I have Vista I must be a complete retard. Now while I do admit Vista has its flaws, there is no need to go about destroying it before its even had a chance to get going. Yes Its heavy on power, Yes its heavy on Ram, Yes its not as fast as XP but so what! Given enough backing, enough chance, it could be great. Greater even than the almighty XP.
Don't get me wrong, i think XP was/is great! Its stable, reliable and a good standard to work of. But that's just it. Its the minimum standard for most programs now. which means its stunting the development of future breakthroughs. Say for example with laptops. the standard pre Vista was 512MB or 1GB. Anyone with more was using it for gaming. Now with Vista, the standard is 2GB, you must have a fast processor, and a good audio, video and graphics card. Simply put, Vista is raising the Bar for manufacturers, putting them under pressure to offer more for a lower price!
Its only been 15 months since Vista's release. That may seem like a long time to some but to be fair with the lack of confidence in it, no wonder it hasn't been developed further. For god sake, XP SP3 was also being developed. I feel that XP must be discontinued if Vista is to stand a chance of developing into a viable, useful and stable OS.
Oh and anyone who says that they're changing to Apple, Don't take the piss, we all know you don't mean it!
For more info on cool new Vista stuff, if you haven't already read it, see here

Simply too much!!!
I'm so sick of study already and i only have 3/12 modules done. its horrible to be stuck in studying and hear about the fun everyone is having. Sometimes i hate science, the fact we have 12 tests, hundreds of labs which count for fuck all but that we must still pass in order to sit the exam in the summer. Its not fun, hasn't been for a while. I sometimes wish i had done an Arts degree, something involving Psychology.

Issue of Transgender legal status
Ok, firstly i have no problem with transgender people. I feel that a person has to right to be happy in their own skin.
My problem comes from the point of view of my own field of interest, Forensic Detection.
Let me paint a picture:
A murder seen is discovered and some hair/skin cells are the only evidence that was able to be collected. Upon analysis it is determined that the suspect is a caucasian male. The suspect DNA is passed through tall the available databases and again no hit. The only suspects are a young black male and a middle age woman.
So who could it be.
My problem is that despite the fact the woman is now officially and legally a woman, she was born a man. her DNA still shows that she is a man!
Now i do feel that all transgender persons should have status, but for official documents it should say that the person is Transgender. i know this seems harsh but if it helps to save lives, or help speed up the legal system then yes, i believe it would be a positive step.
When i say Official documents, i mean official ID, all government records etc. the persons own personal ID, College etc, should state her sex as Female.
I'm open to comments or criticisms on this point.
Thoughts on this?

Lost Time Travel Theory
I discovered this recently on the UCC Forum.
Its an amazing theory that must have taken a load of research and time to put together. What i like most is that he references the series throughout and manages to explain even the most bizarre elements including the Polar Bear and The Black Smoke!
It takes a while to read through so take your time.

Vista Service Pack 1
Finally, he update i wanted was eventually released on Windows Update. I downloaded it last weekend and to be honest at first i didn't notice any change. i was gutted. then i stopped looking and started to notice one or two things.
Firstly my major problem with Vista is that it is too heavy on the RAM. I mean atleast 65-70% of RAM goes into just keeping the laptop idle. Since updating though i have found that its now gone down as far as 50%. i've never seen 50% ever on it! Also the demands on the processor have significantly lessened.
Secondly, the power consumption seems to have slowed, i can now get a good hour with a few internet windows open and be playing games, or uploading photos. This is a major bonus especially in college.
A new feature with the update is the ability to selec which drive to fragment. previously this was not possible and it was a case of all or nothing. Its a nice touch.
At the end of January I wrote a blog about what should be in Vistas new update. Apart from the Gadget clean up, which has nothing to do with Vista, everything i could hope for was provided. Even checking for updates now takes place more regularly.

Reflections on a crazy week.
This has been the busiest, most stressful week i've put down in a while.
It began last monday with collecting money for science ball. It was a lot of hassle to be honest. i just ended up running round like a headless chicken ringing and redialing people.
Then on wednesday i come to college to hear that all the tickets were sold out.
I had booked tickets but i was still worried in case someone had sold them so then spent the rest of the week terrified about what to do if there was none there. But alls well!

Feelings On Vista and other such important matters
I got a Vista laptop. Its an E-Systems laptop. And don't worry if you've never heard of it before, neither had I.
It has 1 GB Ram which means doing to much to quickly will hurt it. But whatever way Vista is set up to work with hardware whenever i put it under pressure to perform it speeds up a huge amount. I had read that ReadyBoost, the new feature on Vista that can use a memory stick as a Flash Cache, only works best under pressure and perhaps its the same for the core.
Visually vista looks amazing. the Aero effect is quite spectacular. I still have an XP computer at home but it just looks so dull, so lifeless. In terms of visuals only Leopard can come close.
I find that the Sidebar is quite useful only for keeping an eye on my connection and Core. otherwise its a bit shit. there isn't enough yet for it.
SP1 is due out in a few months and hopefully it will fix a few problems with Vista, Perhaps:
Lower demand on Processer.
Lower demand on RAM
Lower demand on Battery time. On the lowest power setting the laptop still won't do an hour and a half.
A Clean up of the Gadgets available that simply don't work or crash the Computer.
A way to set up auto checks for updates. Without it i find 24/36 hours goes by without it checking for an update and since Vista is so finicky still any update is brilliant for it.
If Santy can't help me with this, I'll try Jim!

Lyrical Genius number 1: Ne-Yo
To begin this adventure into the world of lyricism i take great pleasure in showing off the lyrics from one of Ne-Yo's album tracks called "Mirror." if u have heard this song then you will know why i have chosen it, if not then read on:
Ne-Yo - Mirror
[Verse 1:]
I must be honest with you babe (just gotta be honest)
I love to watch the faces that you make (when we make love oh girl)
But when I'm behind you holding your hips and you close your eyes and bite your lips
I can't see you so might I suggest a change
Now mama please don't think me strange for what I'm about to say
(please don't think me strange)
If you know anything bout me by now
you know I'm a freak just follow my lead
[Chorus:]
Baby I love making love in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
So that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonite)
Baby tonite let's try in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
Watching ourselves make love
Girl why don't we
[Verse 2:]
Little mama keep your chin up, please watch me do the...nasty
I like it when you make it move fast
Mami if I pull your head back
Cuz I want you to see that we look so good together
I understand that your not ready for me to make my directorial debut
featuring me but starring you
Baby that's okay with me
Honestly this is the next best thing
[Chorus:]
Baby I love making love in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
So that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonite)
Baby tonite lets try in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
Watching ourselves make love girl why don't we
I see you can you see me watching you loving it [8x]
[Chorus:]
Baby I love making love in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
So that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonite)
Baby tonite lets try in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
Watching ourselves make love
girl why don't we
[Fading:]
Can we make love in front of the mirror
You can see why i chose it now.
More coming soon

Got Some Updating To Do
Ok so the last time i wrote a blog was the 4th of july, so thats thursday friday and the flights to catch back up on
Thursday:
Did nothing!
Friday:
Did Nothing and packed
Saturday:
Packed and ate KFC and then headed to the airport. We got the 10 o clock flight to Newark and arrived on
Sunday: arrive in beautiful new jersey just before morning and jogged to the next gate where we got the flight to heathrow. We flew back with virgin again and it was brilliant and so comfy. they really are the best. we even flew over carrigaline on the way back.. it was crazy.
Arrived in london where we were held up for an hour cause of a loack of a parking spot
and then got stuck in border control for a while and then had to jog to terminal 1 where we soon discovered that the plane to take us home hadn't even arrived and the gate was due to close in fifteen minutes. Eventually it arrived and and we borded but ended up being an hour late and arrived in home at 1 o clock and then had to go to bed to be up at 7 for work at 8. and thats my news all sown up.
till next time so long

4th Of July
So independence day huh? seems lik a mini paddys day. we rose about 12 and had breakfast before we started drinking. around half 3, when everyone was ready, we headed to the beach and my god was it packed. i heard this morning there was 600,000 people on the beach at the same time. it was just wierd, everywhere was tents and marquess and among all the american flags/confederacy flags was a solitary irish flag. like a beacon amid the storm. so migrating to it we discover just about everyone we know is there and already very drunk. there was a few guys on either side of the marquee as border patrol, if you ain't irish get the hell outta here!!!! i could only stick about an hour and a half/2 maybe before i just wanted to get up home and shower really badly!!! so as i came out of the shower the rest arrived with the party and we really let loose. the beer was flowing, the songs were singing and no sign of the threatened landlord appearance or our adopted supervisor! the house is perfectly placed with all the foot traffic on the way to the beach and back from it! so the crowd was rocking as they were going past. eventually everyone was getting tired and needed bed so bad the crowd was sent off and beds were crashed into!
But we were woken by a desperate cry of get out, quick the landlord is supposed to call soon!!!!!
so still in a daze and last nights clothes we bundled out of the house and escaped to one of the lads house, who happens to have a pool nearby so it was a good way to recover in the pool and jacuzzi before chillin in the house and i'm only "home" about an hour. great day!
