International Failure!

Well, I didn't get the job with Yorkshire Water so I'm still on the hunt for jobs!

Went to town today for the Bradford International Market - t'was very very busy and had lots of stalls but all we ended up buying were some sweets for Mini, Mrs and myself... Ah well, we're just not international people! Some piccies below from my new 3 mega pixel phone (spot the Peter Kay reference ;) )

Back Again

Well, my computer is running again and has officialy been 'pimped' - see below! I'm still trying to get hold of a PSU that will fit inside though...


Officially 'pimped'!

Hope exits stage left

Not had much luck finding a new power supply so am just gonna rig it up to a normal one and leave it on the outside for now. talk about pimp my ride! it'll look just as bad as some of those 'cars' that they deal with on there... i can understand americans doing it to hide their lack of personality but english people?! i thought we were more advanced than that... obviously not, we'll be suing our kids soon for loss of earnings during child birth. i'm sure i've already seen that on judge judy. maybe i'm as bad for actually watching that show! laters, MaFt

A possible result...

Been up to ccl computers earlier today and they're gonna try get hold of a psu for me. nice chaps! on the way up though brother-n phoned to ask if i could look something up online for him... couldn't have rung at a worse time really! oh well, hopefully i'll be up and running again soon seeing as i sent out an email to 801 people yesterday promising i'd update my Garmin sat nav site tomorrow! doh! it's scary how much you rely on computers as i was planning on printing out my application form so i could refresh myself with what i wrote to help at the interview on monday. bad timing in lots of ways! see ya, MaFt

Bang!

My power supply on my computer went bang this morning... normally this wouldn't bother me cos it's dead easy to replace a power supply. however, when you have a diddy little computer like mine with a stupid shape and size power supply things get a bit tricky... i've tried it with my mum's psu and all is well so i know it's just the power and not anything else. so, now begins the hunt for a power supply for a biostar ideq 200v small form factor case! let the mobile blogging commence!

Wrong Name

OK, so the name of the blog isn't really that accurate butI've been away! After getting back from a week in Alcudia (Northen Majorca) we headed off down to a village called Catchall which is about 5 miles from Lands End. It's a hell of a drive down there! Therefore I'm gonna leave theblog until I've recovered from too much driving and holidaying...

Still, I got back to see I had a letter from Yorkshire Water asking me to come for an interview and assesment too. Things are looking up on the job front!

Thought i'd try...

Just on a mini bus heading back home after a week in majorca. eventful journey going, mini bus crashed and we had a delay of two hours with the plane... great! weather's been good, mini-MaFt's had a great time and the beer's been cheap too! i'll write more later when i'm more awake. oh, and i'm still looking for a job unless Yorkshire water have got back to me while i was away! wonder if this mobile email blogging will work this time!
