Site updates

As you may have noticed, the site's changed a bit (again)! I've upgraded the software behind the scenes from Drupal 5.x to 6.x, which should mean it's a lot snappier and generally glomps up less memory on the server. Unfortunately the old theme doesn't work with the new version, but I've found this excellent theme on drupal.org which is even better!

I guess a lot of stuff has happened since I've last blogged. I think the problem is that I do something, think 'I should blog about that!' and then either don't get around to it, or decide that it's not important enough to warrant its own post. Therefore, I'll have to sum everything up here!

• I've been to Soul Survivor 2008 Week C, down in Shepton Mallet

This year was absolutely fantastic, as there were a whopping 40 people in our group camping and caravanning. Having been last year it was really great for me to see the new attendees getting into the swing of things really well and enjoying it just as much as us oldies! I've come back with a bunch of CDs and I can't wait for the Live CD and Live DVD that will be released in November!

• I came home at 3 in the morning to find I had all A*s and As in my GCSEs!

I'm understandably pretty happy with that! I got A*s in Core Science, Additional Science, Systems and Control, Mathematics, Geography and ICT, and As in English Literature, English Language, French and Statistics. It's pretty much what I was hoping for! Next Wednesday I'm scotting off up to Sixth Form, so I hope the world doesn't end like all these people are saying it will. Honestly, they aren't bashing things together in the LHC for weeks yet, and it'd take a few months for a black hole to consume us all anyway!

• There were more things, but ironically I can't remember them. Watch out for updates!

I'm thoroughly enjoying using Google Chrome, mainly because it loads so much faster than Firefox and doesn't crash at all. (well, only when the website messes up majorly) I've been playing SPORE practically non-stop since it dropped onto my doorstep on Friday morning, and I can safely say it's an absolutely brilliant game. The new Facebook theme doesn't seem to like Chrome all that well, but hopefully they'll fix the links that don't work before it's forced on everyone! Finally, I hope to put some more Iceland stuff up here, as well as adding some more random bits of junk to the sidebar such as links to my Facebook profile and so on. Perhaps even a shoutbox! How immature.
