Firstly site news! I hope everyone likes the new design.
I am very pleased with it. I think it looks nice and neat which I guess can be argued as a bad thing. I like it. I especially like the new now playing feature. I still have a few problems. These are mostly in IE and range from problems with sizing the page correct on small resolutions, this is also apparent in Mozilla but to less of a case - when I get change I will play with this - not for now though. The other problem is the "white space" issue with IE. For some reason if there are nested DIVs (I wont bore you with the code) present IE puts in stupid space. This is a problem with the majority of my blog posts. It will not be a problem from now one. I am going to go back and fix the problems when I can be arsed. If anyone spots any problems please contact me.
Today I started to work heavily on my project programming. I am stuck - I have decided to give it a rest for today. I am going to Warwick tomorrow so this should be fun! Well it is their open day, time to see if I can get on a PhD program! I want to stay in Birmingham but well I have to have backup options.
Finally yesterday I had one of the funniest lectures in a while. It was on SQUIDS - yes Superconducting QUantun Interference Devices. The titles was funny. SQUIDS can basically be used to measure very sensitive magnetic fields (fractions of the Earths - which is very small). In fact they could in theory be used to measure the magnetic field of your brain. That's when the first funny comment came from my excellent lecturer - "You can put a SQUID on brain to measure your brains magnetic field". This was followed by the term "SQUID ENGINEER"! And then finally him informing us of the problem they had with a logo (a picture of a SQUID) telling demonstration kits to American Uni's. This problem was that it was holding a beer and the Uni's didn't like this since they can't drink beer (legally) till they are 21! What a stupid law. Ok jibe at America over for today! Well maybe not... Condoleezza Rice ... enough said! Well maybe not I can't believe that this lying cow is now America's top diplomat. I think George W has paid her back for what she said about September 11th 2001! Bye bye foreign policy. ARGH!!
