In need of something to do
by Tom Bloor ~ August 27th, 2009. Filed under: Blog.Well, I am now back at home for the foreseeable future. And unfortunately, that about sums up my current situation. Having failed another year at Uni, I can’t stay there, so I’m currently looking for work, and in the current economic climate, and with the job prospects as they are, that is turning out to be a really damned hard. Also, living at home has certain… dissadvantages. Freedom for example. And not very much room to stretch out. Oh, and my friends from Hull. but that sort of comes with the territory of moving back home.
So… What have i been up to then? Well, mostly i’ve been playing games. Atleast, in my free time anyway. Also been searching for jobs. Unsuccessfully (see above). And generally avoiding…. (At this point i looked at the TV and cant remember what i was writing. damn.) Oh, and i’ve also been reading lots of RSS feeds, and blogs.
One of the blogs i’ve read recently is Seniath’s, which included several posts that made me think. Thinking about the general idea of going through all your school stuff, then coming out of it, getting a job, settling down, and earning lots of money. Well, i got the first two bits. And now, im working on the other bits. Am wanting to go into computing actually, and am learning C#, and will be eventually moving on to C++ (and Java, Basic, etc. and so forth…). Anyone have any hints, tips, books, websites or stuff that would help actually? Please leave a comment! And also any knowledge that you would deem necessary.
Anyway, am now off to do something else.
-and so it is.
