Pajo’s Blog

Really makes you wonder…

Great quote from the link: “This story would be sexy if A) It weren’t KFC and B) The girls didn’t look exactly like the type of girls you’d expect to work at a KFC in a white trash area of California. Oh well.”

Not much else happening, got my exams over the next few days and then free!! Can’t wait to relax and not think of college… for the next short while at least.

So found out the title of my Final Year Project… “Keynote Detection”. For a description of the project and more info check out my development blog:

Keynote Detection

I know I meant to post something two days ago but again, as usual, I’ve been very lazy bout doing it. So anyway… Kinda hungover this morning was out in Messers Maguires for my birthday last night, had a really great time but am kinda paying for it this morning. But apart from that I can’t really complain, kinda settling back into college, hoping to find out today which final year project I’ve been assigned. Have one or two I really wanna get, so here’s hoping. The subjects this year are quite interesting. I’m taking Natural Computing, Parallel & Cluster Computing, Operating Systems 2, Spatial Information Systems and Performance of Computing Systems. Geeky much?

Had an amazing time in Colorado, totally different lifestyle to back home. Basically living like a bum, being totally broke most of the time, partying every night, having a kick ass job…. In other words - Brilliant Fun!! Met some amazing people there this year! Missing Colorado quite a bit, but I’m sure I’ll be back sometime in the near future, either to work or just on a visit! Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Anyways got a lecture in Performance now…. Will post some more when I find out what project I’ve been assigned. Later.

Currently Listening To: Daft Punk - Alive2007, Bad Religion - Tested, Brand New - Deja Entendu

Arrived back on the 4th but have been really lazy about updating the blog I know… Will post something tomorrow!!

Finally got my Macbook Pro. Spent a few days getting everything up and running, got XP up and running via Boot Camp.

Me hard at work:

Having a great time over here at the moment, rafting and partying, nice!! Rough night last night, Blackout Bayou was certainly the major theme for the evening! But we did rule at Karaoke! Will post some more when I get some photos.

Learning to program some C#

Currently on an old-school Green Day buzz! Spent the last 5 days listening to Nimrod, Dookie and Warning on repeat!!

If anyone has a neat solution to get around Wordpress ignoring repeated <br> tags after an image let me know! Tried editing my style.css file but no fix! GRR!

(plus What the f*** is happening with people being fucking crazy tonight?)

Taking a break from learning bout the OpenGL Frame Buffer… some clips from Airplane 1 and 2

Just bought a copy of the new Millencolin album “Machine 15″ off iTunes. Listening to it now! Sounds really good so far. Will put more up later.

Got a nice theme, and added some stuff to my page and webspace.

Hi Alison! Hi Cathy! Hi Lisa!

Hi, I set up this blog as I wanted decided to buy some webspace to host some stuff, and since I didn’t want to create a whole site, Wordpress seemed like a pretty good option. Also wanted to keep in touch with family as this is a really simple means of showing what I’m up to.

I’ll also be updating this blog when I head over to the US this summer. Hopefully I’ll pick up a Macbook Pro over there!

Currently:

Listening to: Mike Ness - Don’t Think Twice, Goldfinger - January
