You know, writing the "Will you ever get bored of blogging?" question on the Blog Info page was probably a bad idea, since I've been a little bored of it. Hopefully it's a passing phase.
So what's happened? Well, things. Yesterday I changed my email address. I'm now using MyRealBox.com as an email account - it's a free service provided by Novell (of all people), mainly to serve as a test bed for the commercial packages. Despite not having guaranteed uptime, it looks like quite a good deal - as well as a webmail interface, you get POP3 and IMAP support.
I'm also moving away from using Outlook Express as my email client, and instead giving Mozilla Mail a try (which is now upgraded to version 1.0.1 RC1 - a few minor but useful modifications). I'm actually very pleased with it - it's faster than OE and the interface is nice.
Today I had to ring up Bradford University - I still hadn't received anything from them about my place so I thought I'd better check. Turns out that the message hadn't come through properly from UCAS - one computer said I had confirmed the place, the other hadn't. They're now in sync, so I should be receiving the registration documents in due course. I've sent in the accommodation form today.
I also got a cheque for £25 from my grandparents for making it to university (you'd think they had better things to spend their pensions on, but I admire their generosity), which I went to cash into my Halifax account. Which was interesting since I've never cashed anything into a bank account before. Fortunately the woman at the Halifax branch was understanding, and it didn't take all that long in the end. I added another £25 out of my own wallet (I seem to have lost the ability to spend money recently...), so I now have the magical £100 in my account which entitles me to a debit card. Hopefully that'll arrive soon.
