You know, you have to hate horoscopes. I don’t pay any attention to them (I read them for a laugh occasionally), but I found today’s amusing (was found on the Horoscopes gadget of my.live.com for Cancer.)
If you have a person today who says yes when you asked the question, “will you go out with me?” then be careful, dear Cancer. You are apt to take the nature of this situation to the extremes. Saying “yes” doesn’t mean that you are suddenly in charge of his or her life. Nor are you responsible for anything that person does or how they feel. If you are still asking the question without getting any positive responses, don’t worry. Keep trying.
As if that is going to happen (sniggers loudly at the thought) 
Wow, it seems to have been a while since I have posted here… mainly because I haven’t had much to talk about..
Anyhow, it’s been an interesting couple of months. If any of you follow my software activities, you will have noticed that iDeskbook, my Windows client for Facebook, has gotten a face lift in the upcoming version 1.5, with alpha 2 currently out. I’ve got more to do, but I am chipping away, making it a more useful product. I’m also trying to get Mac/Linux versions out through the use of Mono, but it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen at the moment. *sigh*, well, I reckon iDeskbook 2 is going to be a complete re-write anyway…
On that front, Arcanos, my issue tracking system, has been retired – it was causing me a headache to maintain it, with so little gain, it wasn’t worth keeping it. If you need to provide a bug report, contact me at http://drnaylor.co.uk/contact.
Right, so that’s the website and boring stuff out of the way, time for the more interesting stuff. Since I graduated with a 2:1 at Uni with a B.Sc. Physics with Lasers and Photonics Degree, I have been offered a PhD placement which is due to start at the end of this month. Essentially, I will be doing a theoretical research degree in Solid State Physics – and I can’t wait for it! Of course, the waiting for it is killing me… I just want it to hurry up and arrive!
Other than that, the month of July was quite a boring one – moving out of my student house and going back to my parents (I’m insured to drive a car now!) was probably the most exciting thing that happened… and when exciting, I don’t mean a good thing – I would have liked to have stayed with Abi, Karl, Ben and Rob for another year, they were, on the whole, fantastic housemates – sure we had our niggles, but hey, that’s what kept the house alive…
August has been more interesting – but it has kind of left my head in a whirl. Meeting new people, (well, a new person), strengthening friendships with some of those I already knew (so I’d like to think, they probably want to kill me actually – or just make fun of me as they always do), it’s been good.
Of course, every silver lining comes with a cloud – but it is probably just an over-active imagination. Some of the things that have been said to me in passing lately, most of them not even negative or derogatory, perhaps following on from a joke or something, makes me wonder. A lot. All I can say is though, what ever happens, happens ;P.
I do wonder though… what if?
