Busy Busy Busy....
Yeah, I promised a post about Germany and you didn't get one, in my defence the Megatokyo.de guys haven't done a rant on Die Connichi yet either. :P If you wanna know about Germany just check out the photos on my Flickr account.
So yeah, busy busy... But with what?
WebService::Nestoria::Search
I released my first ever CPAN module! :D It connects to the Nestoria API and grabs information about property listings, so far only in the UK. If you wanna try it you can get it from my CPAN page! It's pretty exciting to have actually released code that other people are using... Except I haven't yet heard of anyone using it. :P While you're at it you can read the documentation I wrote, I'm pretty proud of that too. :P
Group Project
More coding in Perl... Working with Sibley and Ben (as usual) as well as Seb and Che, some people we randomly met by emailing saying 'we need people for our group!', but they're totally awesome and we all get on really well. Kinda surprised we hadn't met already since we all seem to be pretty like-minded, but then they sit on the left side of the lecture theatre so that would explain it, damn lefters. :P
Anime Soc
What little time I have left after the group project and my lectures is being sucked up nicely by Anime Soc. As you've probably already read in previous entries I'm on the committee this year which is loads of fun but the first week or two was pretty stressful. Things seem to be calming down now and we've got a good list of stuff to watch this term - Welcome To The NHK, Ichigo Mashimaro, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Fate/Stay Night, and the absolutely brilliant Ouran High School Host Club. :D Our freshers/new members are all great and hopefully we'll have some more socials soon so we can all hang out more. :)

So yeah, busy busy, but it's not without it's fun and good times. This is gonna be a good year. :)
Oh crap, November coming up, 5 21st birthdays of good friends... This is going to kill me, bankrupt me, and leave me wishing I could sleep through December. :P Oh well, it's not as bad as it sounds, one of the 21st birthdays is mine~ :D
Well that's that blog entry out of the way... Hopefully from now on I'll stick to my plan of 'short insane entries about nothing much and things that pop into my head', so if that goes ahead expect this blog to get a bit weirder. :P As a taster here's something that popped into my head a few weeks ago...
Japanese Scrabble. How does that work? All hiragana? How does the 'little tsu' work, is it a tile, is it ignored? How are each of the letters scored, do you get 10 for using a 'wo' correctly? Wtf...
Bye for now!
