L3CiCS Counselling Agency Assignment

Posted inQualifications courseworkNo Comments
The purpose of this assignment is to choose a counselling agency and research how it operates. I have chosen Off The Record. I chose this organisation because there was once a place in Southampton that offered a similar service that I visited when I was a troubled teenage to get some help. It helped me greatly, more than I realised…

Typing and waffling

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Looks like Wednesday is becoming my new update day. Due to the days I work, Monday has been designated "rest day" - coming off four days of work is quite tiring. I feel more perky and talkative on a Wednesday though, I'm more likely to want to do things like type and waffle. My phone is now 100% Mangoed up,…

Mango’d: Part 2

Posted inInternet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
I've finally gotten around to updating my Windows Phone 7 to Windows Phone 7.5 (codename: Mango), only a month after it came out... Why have I not updated sooner? I got the notification that the update was available for my phone about a week ago... What's been eating at my time? Batman: Arkham City. Such a good game, so empowering.…

Mango’d

Although the thing is, I've not been Mango'd. I'm just trying to be. I keep forcing the Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" update onto my phone, but all I'm getting is the Omnia bug. Again. I guess I'll wait until Orange officially release it to me, and it pops up "An update for your phone is ready", then I shouldn't have…

OMG

You know I said last week that my phone wasn't updating? Well, it worked for no apparent reason just now - I didn't change anything, it just worked. The system works, I embrace our Microsoft overlords, etc. Also, and I'm not sure if I should announce this (LIKE ANYONE READS THIS ANYWAY LOL), but Jasmine is gonna have a little…

Fifty

I completed my 50th Xbox game today, geoDefense, on my phone. It was a nice little game, but not as mentally taxing as some other tower defence style games. You could simply plow through most levels with as many fully upgraded regular gun turrets as you could cram into the arena. For the few levels that required a different approach,…

Reasonably intelligent phone

I went to Portsmouth last week and decided it was time I joined the smart phone revolution. It's so amazing! I'm posting this from my phone right now! I'll keep these posts short and sweet though, as you can't save things as drafts in the WP app, so that's your lot for now. Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone
New phone, uh, yeah

My new phone arrived today! Jane bought it for me for my Birthday (December 8th, Birthday fans), but I'm allowed to use it now as my old phone (which I've had for about 5 years now) turns itself off at random intervals. Obligatory old and new model comparison shots: A shade taller than the old one, but much thinner and…
