Finally
I am so overdue on this blog. I’ve just been spamming all of you with my del.icio.us links which may be interesting but hardly makes up a blog. The normal excuse to use would be that I’ve got A Levels going on but seeing as I’m not really doing revision most of the time that hardly seems an excuse. This might actually be my first ever blog post using the new Wordpress.com interface and I have to admit that its quite nice. Ever since I joined wordpress I’ve been a strong advocate for it and would really recommend it to people over Blogger. If you already have a blog with Blogger it has a handy import feature so you can copy all your past posts over to wordpress which is very useful.
On the subject of exams I have already started exams with my Computing CPT3 exam yesterday but I’m not on study leave until Thursday. The exam I’m most worried about is my Music exam on not this Thursday but next Thursday. I’ve always been slightly unsure about my decision to choose Music as all my subjects I’m quite confident that I’ll get an A but Music is not a subject I’m naturally good at. I’m surprised that at the time when I was choosing my second choice was Geography as at the moment if I hadn’t done music I would have chosen Chemistry. As it is Music has been good fun but I’m going to have to a lot of work to know my pieces inside out and be able to write down lots of quotes.
Recently I have also been indulging my interest in Wikipedia by doing a lot more editing and also doing some anti-vandal work. One great tool I’ve had for this is Huggle which monitors the recent changes feed and orders edits by how suspicious they are. The one thing I’m getting better at is doing good references which is really important for the integrity of Wikipedia.
If you do want more regular updates from me then I’d recommend my Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/dolphonia . Today I tried out StrawPoll on my Twitter which allows me to post a poll that people can reply to on Twitter, unfortunately no one has replied yet
