So I now have no money. Unfortunately I don’t actually have a full driving license… yet either… and it’s not taxed… or insured… and it has about a 5th of a tank of petrol. I am, however, very proud to own a Skoda. I find the stigma attached to the name mildly amusing, especially seeing as as far as I can tell it’s basically got a VW engine in it, so will probably go on forever.<\/p>\n
Lots of hacking at PHP yesterday and I’ve finally finished my Bus Route Planner which comes to around 600 lines of code.<\/p>\n
I ordered 500 “free” business cards and registered a domain<\/a> overnight for my backup plan for next year.<\/p>\n Friday night was fun with lots of old friends coming back from uni and in town pubbing and “clubbing”. <\/p>\n Lost the pub quiz again tonight, the team that stole our table have turned out to be shockingly horrible people. I do still have my raffle ticket with the number 42 on it though, so it’s all good.<\/p>\n Now we get to the most important news, lauperr<\/a> PASSED HER DRIVING TEST! I’m so proud of her, and I’ve also noticed quite a distinct change in her since she did, a good change. She seems a lot happier now she’s not imprisoned in her home! Hopefully the novelty of being able to give everyone lifts will wear off before the diesel money does :P, but with a bit of luck the confidence boost will stick.<\/p>\n Oh, a very interesting article about GMail here: http:\/\/www.oreillynet.com\/pub\/wlg\/4707 – I know I know I’m sad, but I find it interesting.<\/p>\n Amongst the other fascinating things I’ve achieved over the Easter holiday I’ve tried to sort out my use of email addresses. <\/p>\n In summary, email me at tola_at_hippygeek.co.uk in future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, it’s true, the hippygeek now half owns a Skoda Favorit GLXi with his brother.

\nI’m finally phasing out my Freeserve account so I don’t have to keep ringing them up to re-activate it every few months. I’ve also gone off Freeserve since they replaced the VW campers in their adverts with a limo. (This got me labelled as sad in #alug because I take so much notice and don’t’ get out enough…) I’m now going to use tola_at_hippygeek.co.uk as my main address and lists_at_hippygeek.co.uk for mailing lists, news etc. Those and other business addresses all get forwarded to the email my ISP gives me so the only other email address that has a separate pop inbox is my iMen account. Nice to keep a backup \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
