Posting gradient will have a temporary downturn.

Well, when I signed up to be a mature student, I knew it would be a lifestyle change. However, I didn’t entirely count on the workload level. Nine exams over the next 2 weeks, and though it’s a nice change for there to actually be a “right” answer, it’s a little wearing.

Posting may be slow until then.

I hate commercial advertising

Tag: Opinion, PersonalAdam Wright @ 11:51 pm

And, what’s more, I hate the fact that it’s everywhere now. Today, a shiny new set of DVDs arrived on my doormat. I popped in the first disc, and was treated to…an advert, telling me to buy more DVDs. They used the “No skip” flag designed for FI warnings and the like to mandate that I had to watch this garbage, and will have to watch it every time my DVD player resets - 5 minutes of utter tripe, for something I’m not interested in, on a product that I just paid for!

Now, can someone from Paramount please tell me why I shouldn’t just visit my local Bittorrent hub and download what I want, rather than paying money for the privilege of being a captive audience for garbage? I very much doubt I’ll purchase a boxed set from you again, so that might be the only option.

My new GPG key is now available on the cryptography page. It has a 7 year lifespan, and superceeds my previous key. There is a revokation certificate for my previous key on the same page.
