The Flying Steveman... like Scotsman, but with... oh, never mind.

Went to Uxbridge/Brunel today to get something hard-back bound (i.e. binding), which resulted in a job fairly well done.  Most of the pages were put in straight, but room for improvement is there.  Provides student discount so it's a very good price for what you get - especially when hard-back binding is not readily available.  A-minus.

Met up with Usman and had a nose around his new room in Halls, which is essentially the same thing as last year except in mirror-image layout.  Also, briefly visited Leo and Farica but sorely not long enough - probably spend about 30-45 minutes with them as I was in a rush to get into Central London before Maplin shut at 7pm.  Will spend a proper amount of time next week with the peeps, after Farica gets back from her holidays in Europe (hope you have/had fun).  Was also going to see Joanne (and Hon), but decided not to because I didn't have time plus I forgot to bring along a page of job ads for Jo (I figuratively shot myself in the head by the time I got to my local train station, having forgotten to rip out the Appointments from the Design Week magazine).

Turns out that Hon has severely sprained his ankle playing football - says he can't walk that good, yet managed to get from 'up north' down to London to see Jo.  Lucky then, that he's driving an Automatic.  And that was another reason why I didn't really want to visit those two either - as Jo terms it, I didn't want to be a 'lightbulb' (or gooseberry, or whatever the hell you call it nowadays), and so let them send some quality time together, etc etc.  Turns out Jo had to do the food shopping on her own, mind.


One thing on GamesRant - a big thank you to James for helping out on the games reviews - much appreciated.  I reckon that this is the real-deal with our GamesRant website and it's going to kick-off properly.


Finally, does anyone know where I can find a cable that has a connector that will fit a 'Mini USB 4-Pin R/A SMT One Salient Point' mini-USB socket, and the other end having a standard Type-A?  I've managed to find the obscure USB connection type for data transfer of my portable movie player, but need to find/buy the cable.  I'm seriously thinking about soldering in a more standard mini-USB socket as I don't want to have to caddy the PMP's HD each time I want to watch something new.
