   More revision today
Hi all

Revising again today for the software exam tomorrow. I got out my notes I wrote up on the lectures and went high-lighter crazy XD so iv done pretty much all I can do I think, shy of doing the practical exercises again.

Well apart from that iv been revising the other subjects but I think electronics and PC tech are going to have to be my top priority now since theyre both next week T_T

Since my scanner is up the spout iv decided to colour my 'rebel fighter' picture. No fill effects this time, im going for the more "hand carved look" (to borrow morbo's words!) apart from great swathes of picture that need to be all the same shade of pink or something, ill fill them! :-p

Apart from all that my boyfriend and I have been playing the latest chapter of Guildwars (an MMORPG) Guildwars: Factions. It introduces 2 new classes the assasin and the ritualist. I was tempted to try one of the new classes but decided against it because I thought that probably everybody would be playing as the new classes. And surprise surprise I was right, we walked into an outpost and all you could see was assasin ritualist assasin ritualist assasin ritualist assasin assasin assasin assasin.

Speaking of the Internet some of you guys asked about our connection speed. So ill prattle on about that for a bit ^_^ you see the thing is we signed up to Blueyonder from telewest at our old place which we were sharing. We got 1MB cuz we were planning to share it between 3 PCs and 2 Xboxes (later only 1 Xbox) and since my boyfriend wanted to play Halo2 on Xbox live we got 1MB cuz aparently it lags at lower speeds.

Then blueyonder told us they were giving all of their customers a free upgrade. Im guessing that was a bit of a PR stunt but im not complaining ^_^ ive been told the recent crash in the price of bandwidth has been fueled by the likes of BT who laid down fibre optics like they were going out of fashion during the .com bubble. And now the actual use is nowhere near what was predicted (nobody has put their fridge online yet!) so theres all this spare bandwidth sloshing around.

Anyways when we moved since the internet was in our name we were able to transfer it over, free upgrade and all. Which has all worked out rather well and now we get our phone and a few digital TV channels from them aswell. But wev never had any problems with them so blueyonder get a thumbs up ^_^

okay thats about all for now, have fun!
