Adventures in Visual Basic

After FINALLY getting Visual Studio 6 to install in Vista, I can start learning it. AND I have to learn enough to figure out what this means. FML.

Following the recent downtime, I’ve moved to a new host (Pyloth, if you’re interested), and I also happen to be a moderator on their forum. ALSO, a new theme, which isn’t as green or as black as it usually is. Anyway, the usual drill: comment on my posts, email me, etc. GLHF

Art.

Art is difficult.

Well, not so much difficult as requiring a massive amount of dedication.

Just found out that I get my exam topic next week; after that just 11 weeks to the exam. And I still have to finish two coursework units. I’ll have to work loads and almost all the time if I’m going to get that grade I want.

To start with, I just bought an A3 sketchbook. My target: Fill it by the exam. And, until recently, I hadn’t actually decided on a ‘theme’ to work in; I was just doing the set tasks, and now all I have for my coursework units are a collection of irrelevant drawings and sketches. I ended up choosing ‘Scrap’, btw (related to my GCSE coursework? I think so.)

Anyway, here’s the point of this entry: to show some sketches.

I like them.

*Yawn*

Ugh. Not been getting enough sleep recently. A combination of schoolwork and ‘oh dear, is that the time already??’‘ are the causes of the problem, I think.

Night.

Is there anything more frustrating than being locked out? And knowing that the things that would stop you being locked out are less than a metre away? Except you can’t get them because there’s a rather large wooden door and a hard brick wall in the way?

Yes, I forgot my key on Wednesday. And I wouldn’t be able to get back in the house until my mum came home, at about 7.30. So there I was, outside my house, with the prospect of waiting for three hours.

I thought I might as well make it worthwhile, so I went up to the Co-op and bought a copy of PCGamer. I read that for about an hour.

Meanwhile, over the road, loads of people were filing into a garden for some kind of fireworks spectacular. I though, why not? So I joined the queue (nobody knew me), and wactched the show. I left before the end, taking some bbq food with me. =]

Still over an hour to go. So I went for a walk. Back up to the coop, and bought a small tin of sardines, and a bread roll. Back outside my house, I made a (fairly messy) sardine sandwich.

Was good.

Portal.

I just completed it =D

I would now go on to say how awesome it was, but if you know what Portal is, you probably know that already anyway. Atm, I’m downloading Portal: Prelude, and the Flash Map pack, both of which I’ve heard good things about, so that’ll be fun. Maybe.

This blog.

I’ve just had the horrible and utter realisation that what I’ve been writing for the last few months, is, to be honest, complete and utter balls.

Some of it I seemed good at the time, but then I just realised that I didn’t like it at all and around twelve to fifteen minutes later, hated it. I didn’t do anything until now, because until just now, I’d thought that having a blog was about volume, not about the content.

So, I’ve made another resolution, in addition to the one I made twelve to fifteen minutes ago: I’m not going to post crap up here anymore.

I’ll probably regret this one in… twelve to fiteen minutes, but I’d better stop typing now because the full effects of my earlier psot are just starting to hit home.

But I’ll be strong.

Rik.
