Open Day Audience (or at least some of them)

This was taken as people arrived for my open day talk Apologies if you were there but aren't on the photograph. I was very keen to test my new phone and so I took the picture before everyone arrived.

Oh look, there's me, top row, far left, playing with my QTEK PDA, trying to figure out why the screen wasn't recognising my handwriting so I could take notes during your presentation.

It took me a full five minutes to realise I had the notes input method set to 'keyboard'.

Oh dear.

By the way, you'll find my blog at www.myspace.com/drownedinsound (and no, I don't do adverts for GAP, nor do I own any fainting goats)

Wow, a halfway decent MySpace page! At least, that's what I thought until the background loaded, and obliterated everything on the page.

Is it a prerequisite that all MySpace blogs have to be garish, or something? Every page I see of it just seems to drive me away from it even more.

[Paul Hirschfield]

Bah! Everyone's a critic, so it would seem. I had gone for a nice sedate balck background on my blog, but then I started meesing aound with the image capture function on my laptop, whilst watching a Kula Shaker DVD. (The image is from the promo video for "Mystical Machine Gun")

It may be garish, but then so was Dr.Rayner's (Rainer?? s/p ??) jumper at the Uni open day and I didn't see anyone complaining about that!

I suppose I could just change the blog text to white, thus avoiding further confusion, but I'm not in the mood for HTML today.

Enough of the jumper comments already! At least there were no jackets with leather patches or flared brown crimplene trousers.

[Willeth]

I thought jackets with leather patches came bundled with Visual Studio.

(anyone who makes jokes about the patches being downloadable gets gunned down immediately)

[Paul Hirschfield]

Ho ho, nice patches gag, I see what you did there.

You know what? I'd loved to have seen the Comp Science department in the first weeks of the new semester...imagine all of those Christmas jumpers.

I'll shut up now as I still haven't put my UCAS application in and I'm already on thin ice as it is.

At chrismas we all wear Dolce & Gabbana suits. Oh yes.
