Brookes Bus morning woes!

I really wish Oxford Bus Company made the morning bus service only for brookes students… they end up like school buses in the morning with annoying school children. I must get a earlier or later bus I think because that horrible old bus is in service at that time it only comes out when it’s busy.

It’s September

It’s September and the sun has started setting early already ๐Ÿ™

I’m still her and will be writing more when I have some free time. Hope everyone is okay…

Banking sorted… concentrating on the important things!

I’ve finally switched banks. Something I should have done years ago. Bye Abbey!

Now I have finally started concentrating on the important things and looking forward to beginning my second year at uni. This week I’ve done a far amount on Ferrari Fans but I still have not got round to writing some articles up which I plan to do shortly. I really want to get some more written up because I don’t feel it should just be superkimi writing them all but me contributing too. It would be unfair for him to produce and me not to really in that sense. Most of the articles I plan to write are automotive/motorsport engineering based and will be quite technical in depth.

I have a lot of other plans in store this week for Ferrari Fans… mainly rewriting some of the content on site. A few days ago I updated the rank set to the one you see below. I think they look a lot easier on the eye and more attractive.

This week will consist of work… more work, driving to and from work. Relaxation and the odd spot of work on Ferrari Fans. All sounds pretty good to me but I am sure the plans will change over the course of the week.

I plan to keep updating this often just been busy over the last few days. Till next time.. cya ๐Ÿ™‚

Watch Time!

I haven’t had a watch on my wrist for years. I am finding that I need one more and more though. It’s a lot easier then having to reach for a phone in your pocket. I’ve found a watch I like and I am considering ordering it. It’s nothing flashy and it’s not digital. It’s from Calvin kleins classic range.

Watchshop UK has one positive review – here

It seems like a good watch and because its so simple this fashion won’t die out over time. It’s water resistant to 30 meters. Pretty amazing because I think most fashionable watches now aren’t resistant to that depth if it all! It also includes 2 year guarntee from calvin klein. All looks pretty sweet ๐Ÿ™‚

What do you think?

Apple Elf Update

Another update on the progress of Apple Elf.

apple-1-beta

In regards to launch. Somewhere around the end of August we expect our services to be available to the public. We will only open up when we are 100% ready and everything works as it should. Speaking of the design we expect to have the designer starting in just over a weeks time as scheduled. A lot of things are planned including a logo update. The current logo was more of a prototype when I thought of the initial idea. Now it’s almost all together we are just awaiting on the design front and a few software licensing considerations.

Service wise we plan to launch a service that will be discounted to our clients and available at full rate to people who don’t have our hosting. It’s a monthly charge and we hope our clients will find it useful. I really would love to spill the beans on this as I think it’s amazing! ๐Ÿ™‚

Apple Elf has been designed to make owning your own piece of the web easier. Through using powerful web tools we can help you achieve this goal and hopefully you will be impressed with the results.

My next update will be the design preview and a few other bits and pieces.

If you want to be emailed when we launch send a email to admin[at]appleelf[dot]com

Ahhh….Banks!

Banks, Banks, Banks!!

Okay, Here’s the story. I signed up for a student overdraft at abbey (soon to be santander as its part of the santander group). I signed up received my overdraft things went smoothly. I used the majority of it as most students do. Just last week I receive a letter from abbey stating they want the ยฃ1000 paid back by 1st September 2009 or interest will be added. Apparently it’s written in their four pages of terms that they can ask for it back at any time. Basically it was in the small print.. I hate small print.

So, My overdraft has expired, I owe them ยฃ1000 and I’m p***ed off.

I woke up today with the additional headache of having several databases go corrupt for what appeared no reason whatsoever ๐Ÿ™

At least I have some new clients and a nice amount of work to keep me happy for the day. Tomorrow I’m off to my second job for a night shift. Shouldn’t be too bad.

Back on the banks topic abbey seem to have lost any leniency too. I have had my account since I was one (my nan opened it for me) and since the take over by santander I find it near impossible to reason with them. It might be down to the group’s greed. Anyway I will pay off my overdraft and close all my accounts with them. It’s not just me who’s had this problem which is a relief in many ways.

Others feel the same…

With this bank taking over bradford and bingley and a few others I suggest anywhere you see the logo to stay away.

I have been thinking about opening a new account with barclays but I’m not sure. If anyone can recommend a good bank please suggest one below.

At the time of writing this blog I was talking to a very a special girl who helped me keep calm. Thank you! ๐Ÿ™‚
