*blows dust off interface*
Well, actually I have been blogging all along, just not here.
I spent the end of 2008 blogging about my Panto experiences here, took January off to recover from Panto, and then spent February blogging about my Home Economics A-Level coursework here.
Now my coursework is handed in (yay) and I'm back to Diverse Ramblings. I've still got some loose ends to tie up on both of those blogs, but right now I can't really be bothered, heh.
After spending almost every evening from October to the beginning of January either rehearsing Panto or performing Panto, spending time at home was great after the run ended. In February instead I spent my evenings working on my coursework, trying to get the hang of soldering and sewing (and doing neither particularly well).
Now, life is more or less back to normal.
As usual, I have a few projects going on... I'm studying for my Home Economics exam, which is at the end of April, and preparing for musical theatre exams which are in May. For the home economics, I am studying nutrition and child development, and for musical theatre I'm learning lines and honing my tap-dancing, so I think I have some good all-round education going on *grin*
From my coursework, I got involved in the field of soft circuits, which is very cool. I decided to continue experimenting even though the coursework is over, and this week I received some stuff that I ordered off the net, so I'm looking forward to dabbing in that. I want to make some simple soft circuits for Easter presents, but in the long run I hope to do more complicated things with my Lilypad Arduino.
I got the Lilypad working on Windows last Sunday, but the Windows desktop machine is in another room to my workbench and equipment. So I'm trying to get the Lilypad running on my Linux laptop, but got stuck because I'm not yet used to doing command-line stuff. Apparently all that I'm lacking now is two drivers for the serial-USB interface, and then I'll be fine.
The rest of this morning is going to be rather mundane by comparison... I'm off to pick up a soft circuits book that is currently awaiting me at the post office in the next village, and then my primary goal for this weekend is to get the bathroom sparkling clean, which is probably the household task I hate the most.
nice to hear that there's some local interest in soft-circuits....do keep us updated on the circuits you make!! :)

Nice to hear there's someone local who knows what a soft-circuit is, heheh.
Yes I plan to blog whatever I manage to get going. Let me know if you figure out a way to add an extra day to the week.
