History In 1986, Handford was asked by his art director at Walker Books to draw a character with peculiar features so that his pictures of crowds had a focal point. After much thinking, he came up with the idea of “Wally”, a world traveller and time travel aficionado who always dresses in red and white.[2] Sometimes it would take him up to eight weeks to draw a two-page sketch of the elusive Wally and the characters surrounding him. Characters Wally,…
I’ve been meaning to get into updating my blog more often (again), and I thought this would be a good update. I went wild camping a couple of times in June, both times in Scotland. The first place we went to was near Ben Lomond, and although the location was great (very rural, yet shops/local village only 8 miles away), it was a four and a half hour drive to get there from Newcastle. We left on the Friday…
After reading this article: http://www.kratosguide.com/16-habits-you-should-do-every-day/ I set my self some goals that I want to accomplish on a day to day basis. One of these goals is to blog or write a journal for 15mins per day (hence writing this really). A lot of things on the list I enjoy but am just too lazy to start doing them, which is why I want to try and stick to doing as much as I can on the list! A few of the things on…
In keeping with trying to add something every week or so, this is what I received in the post this week. This is my Great North Run runner number. As you can see it displays that my starting zone is E, this puts me just behind the semi-pro runners. When signing up for the run, I gave an estimated finish time of roughly 1:50, which was very ambitious at the time, and I don’t image i’ll do it in less…
So I haven’t posted in a while, and tonight I made some pizza. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out, it may have been a bit simple, but I haven’t cooked pizza in about two years, when me and my friend Kyle attempted it. I used a recipe available here, and just added a few little things, like cheese and pepperoni in the crust! Heres the outcome: Hopefully I’ll be making some more with the left over yeast…
So, on Friday 8th April 2011 I handed in my final year project. Although I still have another research paper to do, this was a massive weight off my mind! The total page count was 80, and 29,000 odd words. I’ve still got to demo my program in May some time too, but I’m not too worried about that. Here’s a few snaps of the weather of the hand in and the finished and bound document. After the hand…
One Assignment totally finished, now just 3 more left in the next 4 weeks. Time seems to be running out faster than ever. Can’t wait for some time off!
It suddenly hit me today, that in just over a month i’ll be handing in my last assignment. My final year project hand in date is only a mere 3 weeks away, which is very scary, lots of programming and writing still to do! As well as this I still have a massive Ethical Hacking assignment and an Advanced Forensics report due this week and next week. The 8th April can’t come quick enough! On the upside, hopefully playing football again…
So I’ve finally gotten round to sorting this blog out! My aim with the blog is to create a give an insight into my current goings on. I’m also going to try and start making some tutorials that can help others, as I feel that I take a lot of knowledge from the internet but rarely give back. Hopefully I’ll be able to make some useful tutorials and help someone out there! Anyway, going to bed. Will tweak with the…
