Thanks to those who posted and told me not to worry. Fear not, for while I was mildly depressed before the "*** PLEASE HOLD ***" by the time I'd finished thinking about the chess I was happy again...... as they say, little things for little minds!!!
Which is a very good thing, when you consider that today is supposed to be the most depressing day there is... I'm sitting here, with a good book beside me, having read some emails and seen some pictures from a friend's wedding (well, the wedding of her sister, rather than her wedding!!). so I think that it just goes to show that Cardiff Scientists are just wrong.... fools!!!! Mwhahahaha!!!!!
But on the whole it has been a very good couple of days, so that's nice...... of course, now the week has restarted I'm betting that'll go down hill rapidly!!!
Now, here's a question for all of you who have any ideas on how computers work. I can only access the internet on a shared network in the University. Now I am able to log in as myself, I have my own area where I can save stuff and it won't be deleated and normally my 'Favorites' are saved in 'Internet Explorer'. But I was wondering why (like today) when I logged in they had all been erased. Again...... What's worse is that I know that if I try a different computer there is a chance that they might all turn up again, without me having to try and find them on the web..... But why does this happen?? Why??
Not that it really matter, cause I got them all written down in a folder, but it's just inconvenient to have to look them up, when I know that they should be in the drop-down folder.
I've also noted that as great as the internet is supposed to be, there does appear to be limits to what you can search on it. For instance, I'm trying to find out about a church. It had a cool name, it's a good enough reason.... Can I find it listed on either the Church of England website or the Central Methodist Church website, despite it being a joint venture by these two churches....??? No!!! I have an address so multimap can show me where it is, but apart from this one line that happens to mention that it's a joint venture there is virtually no record that it exists (ok, so I found an artist that happened to make the font, but that doesn't count!!).
And somehow, the Anglican Church, after not only dening that this place exists is set up in just a way that I'm not even sure which diocese to look in. Birmingham, Coventry, Derby, Leicester or possible Lichfield.... and that's assuming that this chuch even has a website, because that's how they are listed. Either that or the Diocese of Lichfield has only two churches in it!!!
In fact, it's easier to find the teenage pregnacy report than what churches are in the area. 9 under 16 conceptions and 63 under 18!!!
At this point I realise that I'm simply wasting my (and your) life away with this, when there are many other more fun things I could be doing...... I'm just shocked.... that's all!!!
