It's been a while

I bought a CD single of Ella Guru. I think it is some kind of promo, "Augustus Golden". Which I like a lot. Twas a pound from the Oasis, a fantastic shop in Birmingham (Corporation Street). It is not Oasis the high street chain a distinction which at times causes confusion. I also found out that there's a shop in there that sells Crazy Color hair dye. I haven't even been able to find this brand for sale ont' net (Ah, having said that, I see they have an online shop). There's also a shop in the Oasis that sells, among other things, plectrum earrings, necklaces, bracelets that kind of thing, they have a shop on Ebay I love kitsch 2004/5?.

Bought some GCSE and AS level books yesterday, maths and fizzics. I haven't had time to look properly at all the library books I have, though I have almost finished the "Networking for Dummies" which is a nice simple read. I am on the last chapter which at the moment is explaining TCP/IP basics. Subnet masking and that kind of thing. There is an O'Reilly book on TCP/IP (or this) but I can't really be that in depth right now with all this other stuff I am to be getting on with.

I ordered The Zen Garden of CSS from Amazon, I've looked at it in Waterstones in town and it looks like inspiring stuff. The Website is there too, with some interesting CSS layouts. Amazon is of course cheaper than Waterstones, though I did spend twenty quid in Waterstones, I'm not just using them as a showroom. The Art of Photoshop is another good looking book that I have my eye on.
