Woo, I have bought a Wii. I have been wanting one for ages, and I have finally got around to buying one. I got one for £165 from CeX, and bought a load of games for it off Ebay - bargain. I have bought Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wii Play (for the extra remote). I have also bought Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube, an got a memory card and controller for it.

If you want to add me on your friends list:

• Wii Number: 5248-8782-3737-3511
• Mario Kart Number: 2320-8332-9381

I got my AS results last week, and I got the following:

• A in Media Studies
• B in Design
• B in Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

And I also got an E in Business Studies, but I have since dropped that as I wasn’t very good at it and it bored me somewhat.

I was really suprised about my Media Studies result, as I didn’t think that I did very good in the exam. All-in-all, I am really happy with my results.

I am finally back from my holiday in Wales, of which I went with my girlfriend and her parents. We stopped in a small cottage in Aberporth, on the Cardigan coast. We stayed there for a week and it was really relaxing, a really nice place. The weather was a bit awful, but we had fun nevertheless. Me and my girlfriend went for a boat ride around the coast of New Quey, hoping to see some dolphins but unfortunately we didn’t. During the trip I got water in my camera, which caused it to start messing up (but luckily it works fine now that it has dried out). We went to Llangrannog for a walk over the coastline, and we had the nicest fish and chips that I have ever tasted - seriously.

I will post some pictures of it tomorrow, for now - I am going to bed. Night.

I am currently trying to get my head around Microsoft Sharepoint 2007 and Windows Server 2008 (both of which I have never used before). I should hopefully be getting a part-time job which involves me helping to set up a new Sharepoint system from scratch, so I have started learning how it all works. I have never dealt with Windows Servers before, I have only ever dealt with Linux servers (and saying that, not a great deal there either).

My summer holidays at college have begun, so that means I will be able to spend the next three weeks with my amazing girlfriend and just chill out. We will be going on holiday to Wales in a few weeks too.

I bought a NSD 250mhz Amber Powerball a few days ago and I have been using it since. I have been suffering from pain in my left wrist for the past week or so, and I decided to get one to see if it would help. If you don’t know what they are, it is basically a gyroscope inside of a plastic shell which you rotate around your wrist and it helps to build up muscles and rehabilitate pains. They have been known to help get rid of RSI and other joint pains, and it has been helping so far; after you use it, it really does make you arms and wrists feel rejuvenated. I sometimes suffer from RSI due to the fact I spend so much time on my computer, and is often noticeable after I have been gaming - so I am hoping this should eliminate the problem in the future. And I know you can buy Powerballs with counters too, but with this being my first one, I just want to use it to strengthen my arms/wrists - I can always add a counter in the future if I like.

I got mine for £9.99 from Play.com, which is a good price compared to some places (free postage too). If you do think about getting one, make sure that you get a NSD Powerball, and not the cheaper copies that are around (as they wont work as well and may even cause more pain than good).
