			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I plan on being busy tomorrow. Today wasn&#8217;t much of a productive feat either, despite me being back home. Apparently a change of scenery hasn&#8217;t inspired me to work. It looks like my main village is about to be nobled though, so I guess I won&#8217;t be playing Tribal Wars for much longer&#8230;</p>
<p>Tomorrow, I&#8217;m gonna head to dad&#8217;s around five o&#8217;clock, because I can get a lift at that time. I want to fix my bike up (it&#8217;s been out back for  a while now, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if it&#8217;s rusted beyond repair but I want to try. It&#8217;ll give me something relatively cheap to work on. Then, I think it&#8217;d be cool to just ride for a while. Mostly to increase my fitness, to be honest.</p>
<p>Then, ride back to mum&#8217;s &#8211; since I don&#8217;t have a bed back at dad&#8217;s house yet (the spare room got filled with junk as soon as I moved away to university). Or, better yet, I wanna check out the library. I&#8217;m not sure if they have wireless there but if they do it&#8217;d be rocking. If not, no problem I can do computer science theory stuff I need to do anyway &#8211; I&#8217;m sure they have books.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today marks a time in my life where I can do even less work that I&#8217;ve been doing so far; the Easter holidays. In fact, it&#8217;s more like breaking up for the year. The only reasons I have to return to university are two exams in May, after that I&#8217;m free to be where I like until October.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to set out aims because I never reach them, and I look like someone that sucks at keeping to lists. Instead, I&#8217;m just gonna say somethings that it&#8217;d be cool to get done.</p>
<p>First thing is making an actual web app that actually does something and <em>release</em> it. My problem here is I always have ideas and then typically seconds later I read on Techcrunch that a start up has had an amazingly innovative idea that&#8217;s <em>shockingly like mine</em>. So, I&#8217;ll at least try and make a cool bookmarklet over the holidays. It&#8217;ll do something cool, honest.</p>
<p>I totally want to make my Tumblr the top search for <a href="http://shamess.tumblr.com/">shamess</a>. It pretty much has everything to do with me; my tweets, my shared RSS stories, even this blog. It&#8217;s pretty damn nifty. I don&#8217;t know many people that use it though. Tumblr was actually an idea of mine too, which I guess I had an age too late. I was thinking of making an extension for Firefox that&#8217;d let me grab a piece of text/image/video and stick it on another site for later viewing. Then I found that&#8217;s exactly what Tumblr did, so I started out there.</p>
<p>Another idea I had a while ago was what <a href="http://start.io/">start.io</a> is doing. In fact, I already have that system on my localhost page, but I think I&#8217;ll likely switch to start.io now. Anything I don&#8217;t like about it I can just change using a Greasemonkey script (like showing the links in a different order depending on what time it is).</p>
<p>I picked up WoW again today, in all it&#8217;s lowest graphical settings, OpenGL glory. I played a hefty amount of hours before I wasn&#8217;t having fun. Maybe I should just limit myself to an hour or two playing? That&#8217;s the height of fun before I get bored and leave the game thinking &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe I just spent so long playing this dumb game.&#8221; That&#8217;s just a downer. It&#8217;s just so damn easy to forget that you&#8217;re supposed to be having fun.</p>
<p>Same as Tribal Wars, really. My tribe is proper hardcore playing, and up annoyed at me for lagging behind. To be honest, I have been trying, I&#8217;ve no idea what has caused me to fall behind so much. But either way they&#8217;re acting like I&#8217;m a bad person because I&#8217;m not up in the tens of thousands of points and have three villages. Really? I play the game till it stops being fun each day, if that&#8217;s before I reach optimum pointage, then that&#8217;s the way it is.</p>
