Curious Geek

What a crazy month I’ve had. I’ve gone from being employed part time by Local Community Recycling to a full time employee. It’s taken a while to adjust back to full time work, especially as I was quite enjoying being a lazy bum. However, the new jobs good…I’m back using a computer for starters, where I belong!

All these changes have led to a rather empty blog and twitter feed for the last month. I am going to return though, with my pointless posts that no one reads. I just need to find some time somewhere in my day…

Its that time of the year again when everything is being released and I find myself hunting high and low for cash to play or watch these new releases.

This year is a little different though as I find myself the proud owner of this blog which means I can write reviews and finally let people know what I think of these releases. I may not be a game reviewer, nor a movie critic. I’m not even a particularly good writer but hopefully this will keep my reviews short and sweet. I’ll get to the point and let you know exactly what I think about the game or movie. Ultimately I’ll give you my opinion on whether its worth your money.

So sit back and enjoy. This amateur reviewer is about to review Iron Man 2…

After having a relatively relaxing couple of weeks following my placement, this week has been crazy. I started a new job this week, I’m doing some local charity collection work. It’s pretty rewarding but my feet are killing, they haven’t walked this much in a long time. It’s only part time though, so I’ve been able to use the afternoons to continue developing my Android applications. My first release is coming along now and I’m hoping to have the first version out in peoples hands in a couple of weeks. I’ll keep you posted.

That’s all for now, I should have some interesting Android articles coming up soon once everything has settled back down. If anyone in the Staffordshire or Derbyshire area likes the idea of some part time charity work (You do get paid) then the company I’m working for can be found here.

I almost forgot to mention. Formula 1 this weekend. Don’t miss it.

*Sigh*

It appears I’m pretty good at saying I will do things and then I don’t.

That’s pretty evident on this blog, I said I would review my HP Notebook and my Ford Fiesta. I also promised more Albums of the week.  I could use the excuse that I’ve been busy like I normally do and whilst I have been busy, that’s no excuse! So expect these reviews and some Albums of the Week soon!

Laziness...

Well well well, I’ve just installed wpToGo on my Android phone and thought i’d pop a quick post up using it.

Seems quite nice and useable. It should allow me to pop up some quick messages if/when I see or hear anything interesting…

Looks like you’ve got more random posts to look forward from me now then. Back to Doctor Who’s Greatest moments on the iPlayer.

I know I never said I was going to go anywhere (I apologise) but between Christmas and my Birthday I haven’t had the time to write up anything remotely interesting.

All the festivities are out of the way now though and once the new year is in it’s going be straight back down to work, although this year is going to hopefully bring a few new interesting ventures. I’ll be talking more about those in later blog posts.

So that’s its for this brief instalment, I just wanted to say I’m back and the articles are going to be coming in thick and fast. I might even have to re-giggle my main website around soon to make room for the new projects I’m working on (There’s a little clue as to one of my new ventures!).

I hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you all the best for the New Year.

**Update**

There’s been some other changes to the Blog that I forgot to Mention, d’oh. The most obvious change is the new name. From the boring ‘Me and Technology’, I’ve now decided on ‘Curious Geek’. I guess it better describes me and its far more catchy.

The other change isn’t quite as obvious, unless your browsing this from a Touch Screen mobile. I’ve now implemented WPTouch, which is a glorious theme designed for Touch Screen mobile phones. It’s styled as an iPhone app (urgh) but its very functional and that’s why I’ve gone for it. It should make your mobile browsing of my blog all the more enjoyable!

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post here but its been a crazy couple of weeks. We got the keys for our new house and started with the whole moving shebang! Spent today packing up most of the things in my bedroom (except my desk and bed) and now it looks empty, it really has got me excited for the big move though!

Other than the move, I’ve been doing things such as, sorting out bills for the new house, buying appliances for the new house and various other things relating to the new house…so, its all been about the house really.

Whoever said moving was easier than most people make it out to be were wrong, its definitely hard work and I’ve come home tired so many nights this past few weeks. There’s so much planning involved, so much to actually do and picking things that you want whilst trying to stay within your budget, its almost impossible! Either way though, things are now starting to come together. We’ve got a good Landlord (As good as you can tell from your first meeting) and its in a good location too.

So expect the blog posts to pick back up in the near future as the move is finally finished and we are all settled, that includes the dog. I might even blog about something interesting, rather than my house and my life. Its just the move has taken up so much of my time, there hasn’t been much else happening. Not that that’s a bad thing, its been lots of fun (Especially IKEA and B&Q trips).

Tomorrow will be a nice break away from it all, its our Summer Ball, time to get dressed up and have a great night out. Its been far too long since I boogied the night away…(Sorry for this rather random post, it doesn’t even make much sense but I’ll blame that on the time, its just about to hit 1:00am here. Bed Time.)

My first real blog post.

The website is FINALLY finished. I hope it looks good, I have managed to pretty much do what I originally set out to do. I think I’d class it as a moderate success!

Anyways, its 00:37 now, and I should be heading to bed.

Theres much more to come and this Blog will be getting some changes over the next few days. Keep watching.
