The petition for Gordon Brown to resign closed at midnight and a staggering 72,222 people signed it.  I wonder how long it will take to get a formal response from the PM.

Without trying to repeat others around the web, tomorrow is the last day you can buy YBF6 tickets.  Just look at the speakers.  Why wouldn’t you want a ticket?

So, I’m now into week four at University and haven’t really blogged since coming here.  It seems to take up a fair bit of my time.  I actually have 21 hours of timetabled sessions a week.

Without rambling on about stuff people don’t care about, I’ll skip to the reason for this blog post.  Computer Science students recently received this email:

A torch has been found. If you think it might be yours, please come to the School Office.

Which was replied to by one of the staff:

What happened to the mask and the crowbar?

It made me chuckle, although probably not that funny to most people.  It did lighten my otherwise mundane Friday.  I have to wonder why someone took a torch into a University building.  From what I can tell, they were built with lights.

Labour’s latest Party Political Broadcast contained a misspelt word.  Now, its not the biggest crime in the world – and I have misspelt many, many, words.  Typically, not much fuss or attention would be focused on it. But they did chose the wrong would to misspell.

Sorry about the distinct lack of posts recently. Freshers week ends tomorrow. I’ll need a few days to recover and then I’ll hopefully get round to blogging.

He said he never would do it.  But today, Gordon Brown admitted his plan to spend, spend, spend has come to an end.  He failed to stop boom and bust, he has ruined the Government’s balance sheet and left future generations with the bull.  Its a shame it took him £1 trillion of debt to realise it.

My sympathy goes out to all those who lost someone special in the World Trade Centre attacks eight years ago today. Too many lives were lost too soon.

It make have taken nine releases, but iTunes 9 now recognizes recognises that English words are spelt differently across the pond. Could this be the start of the revolution I’ve been waiting for.

Gordon Brown wants you to believe that he is a decisive man. Yet he can’t decide whether he will take part in a televised leaders’ debate at the General Election, which he can’t decide when to call. He also wont admit to cancelling an election after calling it once already. Not to bad though, an empty chair is more likely to give answers to questions.

As a soon-to-be Computer Science student, it goes without saying that I have a huge amount of respect for Alan Turing. He is a man that was part of the fundamental shift in how we view computers and the field of computer science.

Turning was “outed” as being gay in a very non-gay friendly era. He was prosecuted and eventually committed suicide. Its right that the Government formally apologises for a past mistake, whether or not the decision was made under its current administration.

Sign the petition for the apology he so rightly deserved.
