As i write this, i should be near Calais. I should be sat in a nice comfy chair, reading my book with a gin in my hand. I should be sat on the eurostar.I am, however, sat in my friends flat in Paris. Turns out that if you get on the wrong metro line by accident, it takes a really long time to get where you are meant to be going. Turns out that getting to the station 3 minutes before your eurostar train leaves isn't early enough.
If this wasn't bad enough, on my way to Paris I managed to leave my passport in Cambridge. I didn't remember until I had passed through security and was stood in front of the passport control. Ended up getting into Paris roughly 5 hours late.
The one good thing in this plethora of poor organisation is eurostar - they have changed my ticket in both directions for no extra charge. I even managed to get to cambridge and back to london for free, using my old ticket. I love being jammy.
Serioustly though, only me :oP

Seeing as my blog is fairly poor in terms of content, why not entertain yourself by reading this blog instead.A rather spangly site in terms of design too, which is always nice.

My current computer is dying a horrible death. It crashes around twice per evening of website design work, and I have to leave it for half an hour to cool down before I can turn it on again. It's had a good life, served me well, but it's ready to move on to a better place.Filling its void will be a spangly new thing, built by my own fair hand from a list of cunningly chosen components. I must say, I'm rather excited about it all, if a little nervous that i'll break something in the process of making it. Anyway, just to make you jealous, this is what it's going to be made from:
Case - CoolerMaster Stacker 830
Motherboard - Asus P5WDH Deluxe
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz
Power Source - Coolermaster iGreen 600W PSU
RAM - OCZ 2GB DDR2 800
Graphics Card - Connect3D X1900GT 256MB
Hard Disk - SATA2/300 250Gb 7200rpm 16MB Cache
