    I'd post a lot more here, if time was kinder to me.

    At the moment I'm in the first term of my final year at University. As you can imagine, it's a lot of work.

    Currently I'm working on the technical brochure for a reciprocating air compressor which me and a team of 3 others designed and engineered from scratch. Check it out. I think it looks awesome!

    Also, I'm working on my final year project. I am researching, designing and prototyping a product which aides a disabled user around the home. As well as my own personal reasons behind this, I believe that if I am given the tools to design, then why not use them to help others?

    If you know anybody with any kind of disability who would be wonderful enough to fill in a few questions for me and, if possible, take a few photographs (face shots are not required, an alias can be created on request) feel free to let me know, it would be fantastic.

    Aside from University work, I'm looking to establish myself as a graphic designer of some sorts. I have received overwhelming positive response to the promotional material that I designed for my club night. So I've started designing material for other clubs, bars, venues and promoters in town.

    I still think I'm not that amazing at it, but I'm definitely improving, and I've migrated myself from PSP to Photoshop, which was daunting, but I can see how PSD is significantly better.

    Now, whats up with this incredibly cold weather? (n) (c)

    Cool. Seems like you're having fun, even if you're run off your feet!

    I'm going through a bit of a technical period at the moment. Just signed up for a distance learning course in Technical Communication Techniques with the ISTC - hoping it'll differentiate me a little bit from all the other Business graduates out there!

    Also paid a visit to the Oracle office in Edinburgh earlier this week, to check out of a demo of Hyperion for the Scottish Government. So that was a fun day out! Better than sitting in front of a monitor all day!

    Thanks for the message.
    I had a crappy Xmas break, but I'm back at Uni now and now I am concentrating 100% on my final year project which worries me.
    I don't think I've made nearly enough progress and I just don't know where to go with it.
