Weekend and Stuff

So what has been going on in the last week or so?

 

Well since the last update I have finished my application to the Leverhulme Trust and I am hoping to get all the references in for that very soon. The last weekend involved a trip down to London, and this weekend just gone we went to Birmingham. It's really weird having money to spend once again. More inportantly Sam is happy she can spend money again. My purchase in Brum failed though. It was an unusual shirt from H&M, but once we got it home we noticed that the button holes were fucked. Fortunately the H&M in Leamington refunded us but of course don't stock the same line, nor will they be able to get it in. Arse. So instead the money went on nice new patent leather black shoes which will come in handy for smart occasions.

 

Otherwise this coming weekend is London for Aiko's birthday, and then the weekend after that is Manchester and Liverpool to see Sam's cousin and his new baby (we went baby present buying in Brum leading to brooding feelings.... some stuff we saw was quite cute), and to have a mini reunion with my UMIST/Manchester Chemistry crowd now that we have be cast to the four corners since all graduating.

 

On the work front I've been retraining my model on a new database, finishing coding tweaks for the entire group, and now coding up a new multi-objective conformational searching method that would be of use for molecular docking and polymorphism.

 

On the RP front this week and last week are session free since Mark is being operate on etc so I have had a chance to catch up with writing the last of the Ordo Dracul NPCs and then the independant NPCs and the chapter (and essentially the Manchester book for Vampire) will be complete. Also read most of Cthulhu tech which has been really good but I doubt I will be running it any time soon.

Annoying

OK so you remember that big falling out I had with the rp guys up in Manchester.

 

Well just after it all I posted on a LJ of one of the writers for white wolf. It was talk of a game, one I have recently bought, Cthulhu Tech.

I had posted that (without naming) that the ex-friend in general had mentioned cthulhu tech. My words were 'ex-friend (long story)' and also I said it was surprising that he had picked up this game due to it's heavy anime feel.

Well just today the same ex-friend found the writers lj with respect to his white wolf work. Fair enough. But then, finding the comment I had made on a post 3 months ago posted 'LOL'.

Ok I know I took a swipe at him back then, and things were tense back then. But for that type of comment today when it is clear as day I made that comment back in the heat of the moment. Well. Was there really any need? I mean just to reignite things?

 

That or I maybe reading into 'LOL' too much.

 

Oh well back to work.
