So recently I have been getting into my photography, if you fancy it you can always check out some of my favourite work HERE on my Flikr account.
What else has been going on?
Well, I have started playing paint ball a bit again. Although money has been tight since I started back at uni. I played a small event in November where the team came 3rd, considering I have never played with them before I think it went quite well. As always Ray from PaintballPictures did a brilliant job of making me look amazing.
Christmas is here.
This basically means, I am in no way prepared for the things I should have bought by now or the work I should have done. But it does allow me the chance to ruin my sleep pattern as I find myself up until 4am most mornings.
The new Sherlock film!
Having been to see the game of shadows recently I think it was a brilliant film, loads to keep you entertained whether it is action or plot that makes you watch a film.
The website.
It's pretty much done, we are there in terms of what we wanted to achieve with it and are hoping the customer feels the same way.
Once this site is out the way we have another to crack on with so will be busy still.. which I guess is a good thing!
Holidays.
In January I will be going to centre parks with Jack, Georgia and a whole bunch of people I don't know. Which is exiting. I've never been to centre parks before.

Life updates
Sooooo, its been a while again and I'm not sure if I can do enough exiting things to keep writing this but I am willing to give it another try, for the good of anyone who reads my blog!
What's been going on then?!
Well I guess I should cover the summer first, seeing as it was just before the end of uni that I posted.
The end of term came and went without any real problems and I passed every unit last year so that was great!
Over the summer I changed a few things in my life, firstly I got a proper job, y'know one of those 9-5's with a lunch break and a desk. I started to work for a small sound and lighting company called Future Media. and to begin with it was merely answering the phone and making small box sales. Then the MD found out I do computing and got me to work on a database that logs the hours employees have spent doing different jobs (the company had recently gone from doing small jobs that might take a week or two to doing full school and church outfitting which took several weeks or even months).
Pretty much as soon as I started the job I got a fairly decent camera, safe to say that since I bought it were pretty much inseparable. anyone has a party and the camera comes too, any trips I go on, any small events, you name it. One of those things was Campaign Cup 2011 and here is a snap from it.
I got a new bike too, she's a beauty.
I spent a huge amount of time over the summer both on the bike and at body combat classes which has bought me to a physical appearance that I am fairly happy with. The return to uni has pretty much ruined my motivation for working out and so I am just doing 3 classes a week (2 body combat and 1 spinning) all of which are an hour long.
So lets get right up to date!
Me and a close friend Jack have started a web design company, between us we do graphic design and dynamic websites which is a lot of learning for both of us but it is giving us a good knowledge of what we can and can't do. we are P&Bwebsolutions and you can tweet us @pbwebsolutions.. we have no followers at the time of writing *cry*.
Oh yea. before I forget I passed my driving test.. so that's all go now and this is my ride.
OH YEA!
bless your face, if you sneezed during this blog bless you. Toby out (and by Toby i mean me.. and no i dont expect anyone to get the reference).

Another new hat......
So summer is coming and I have probably been spending too much money.
Firstly I bought another hat... this one is more of a summer cap thing as I throw off the beany look for the summer. However i have just purchased a new Paintball beany so I'm pretty exited about that. Cant wait to get back on the field over the summer :)
I also decided to get a pair of on ear headphones instead of in ear ones for a change. They sound pretty damn good but they are a lot more bulky than the tiny in ear ones I am used to.
Uni work
Uni work has gotten SOOO hectic over the past 2 weeks and I have been pretty much working round the clock to get things finished in time for hand ins :(
Films
We went to see Fast Five the other day at the cinema and I think its awesome!
The Fast and Furious films have changed a lot since the original one was released in 2001 but it has been 10 years so the directors have had a fairly hard time trying to make sure they both keep up with trends and make a film that the hardcore fans will enjoy. Here is the trailer for anyone who hasn't seen it

Gone a While
Hey Guys,
So I haven't been blogging in the last few weeks. But a lot has happened.
Firstly seeing as it is so important. I should let you all know I got a new hat (again). But this one is reversible and softer than the cheap one.
So yea here is the new hat, I prefer the black side to be honest (its less bright).
Paintball.
So me and Amberlamps did actually go to train the Southampton University paintball team and this is what we found.
So it was your typical starting team setting up. Although it was chucking it down with rain.
We went through a couple of different things with them.
Then we showed them a few things. Its always fun to tell people what to do haha!
And then out of nowhere one of the foreign students showed some real promise.
Driving.
Yes that's right I have been learning to drive. I have booked my theory test and hopefully that will go by without too much trouble. Then it is on to the practical and forward to the open road!
My Phone.
The battery has been replaced and I now cant live without either my phone or Facebook. No idea why this has happened but I find myself regularly checking just to see if I have any notifications.
Along with my Facebook addiction I now have a list of sites I have to open up on turning on my computer.
hopefully this will be a jump back into the blog for me :)
Next time ... We eat a hornets nest.
Also next time.

We chatted about what we were going to do.
Then we chatted some more.
Then we played some games and gave them some feedback.
And then out of nowhere one of the foreign students showed some real promise.
After chatting to him for a while he was invited to play for another team but unfortunately due to him having to travel back to Cyprus every other month he could not dedicate himself to play.
Oh yea!
one more thing,
Peaks are not only oldschool but also BadAss.
So on to other things I have been doing!
Driving.
Yes that's right I have been learning to drive. I have booked my theory test and hopefully that will go by without too much trouble. Then it is on to the practical and forward to the open road!

- Youtube
- PaintballPimp
- NSPL Forums
- PC Gamer
- My hotmail account
- my blogger dashboard
I know I haven't been posting recently but I have tried to keep up to date and read the blogs that are made by other people.
Well that's all for now guys.
hopefully this will be a jump back into the blog for me :)
Next time ... We eat a hornets nest.

The quick update
So here is a little update about what's going on in my life at the moment.
I tried yoga for the first time ever last Sunday and I have to say it was pretty damn good if I'm honest. We just did 5 things; the dead man pose which is where you lie on your back and rotate your legs, the wind release (no points for guessing the outcome :p), Sun salutations which were a group of 10 movements that stretch and tone your muscles ready for the day, the warrior pose and a relaxation bit after where the whole class fell asleep :D.
I still have the same boring black peaked cap as I cannot find a decent replacement, but at least it will be useful on Sunday when I will be PLAYING PAINTBALL!!!!!!!
Paintball.
As most of you will know this took up a massive amount of my life the past two years and I miss it dearly! So this weekend I will be off with the paintball club of Southampton University to hopefully teach them a few things and encourage them into wanting to perform well at the events they have chosen to play this year. click here to find out more.
My Phone.
I am still waiting on a new battery as the one that came in the box turned out to not carry any charge :(. Hopefully that will arrive tomorrow and I will be able to resume my normal life haha!
Well that's it for now

The Working Week
So this weekend I have been doing doubles at work (day and night). Safe to say that right about now I'm pretty tired. But this does mean that I will have some spare cash at the end of it all. Winner :)
BEST NEWS EVER!
My friggin phone is BACK! this made me so happy I wet myself a little. Now I can live the life of geek heaven. Here is a taster of how I intend to do that.
yea that's right twin 23" monitors with one that hooks up to the X-box. I feel like a pro.
I had always been into computers but never would have bothered getting this much tech unless I was doing the course that I am with the people I study with.
even though my main pc is pretty decent (its a home built games machine) my favourite piece of kit is my samsung netbook.
This thing is SO GOOD at being a small laptop.

Many assignments have been finished on this thing on the train. It has a great battery life and I upgraded it with a 2 gig memory chip so that it had more room to work. This really increases performance on Facebook games and multitasking.
The next best thing would be my daemon phone of tablet goodness
And that's pretty much my personal set-up.
hope you guys liked my insight into myself and my life, I need to go to bed now so I can go back to work.
The rat race awaits.
PEACE!

Peanut butter and mayonnaise
Hey everyone.
So its been like a week or something since I last updated.I had a whole week off work, it was AMAZING. I went over to Fareham to see my friend jack from uni and then managed to go to town on Thursday with a bunch of friends from back here at home :) then on Friday Jack came over here to Bournemouth where him me and BringAmberLamps playing some laggy games of League of Legends.
Coming Of Age new season!!!
personally I really enjoyed the first two seasons of this so I am pretty exited about the new one.
We went to go see the green hornet on Sunday and that was pretty dam good. Seth Rogan is always funny and he is in a film with some Jackie Chan looking guy who does marshal arts.
check it out!
Also went to see Tron legacy the week before with some mates from uni I thought it had a pretty good story line and the characters looked frikin awesome!
Peace!

100!
100 views!
wow why am I so exited about that??
I guess its because in our own ways we all just want to feel important. But hey I got 100 views!
THE TRUTH!
I learned what a blog was for! It turns out it stands for weB - Log which is cool because that's what I use it for, logging stuff that I find cool or even mildly interesting.
To read more about the knowledgeable northerner that told me this follow this link.
And so something that I thought was cool is.......
I fixed a 360!
Apparently one of the reasons it can red ring to 3 is that the graphics chip has come unsoldered. So you have to make it overheat to solder itself back. That is a little bit worrying to do but seeing as it was already broke I thought its only going to not work after. Turns out it worked and I got myself a cheap 360 :)
now to get some games?
Also it only has a 20 gig HDD so I might look at replacing that.
oh and btw. my gamertag is ant290.
Work was good this weekend, I cleaned out the dry stores which was fun and I ended up covered in flour from all the half opened / half full stock.
I guess this is going to be a short one as I don't have any ideas for links or pictures / videos to show you guys so sorry about that (maybe next time).
TOTORO!!

Victory!
So I finally made xampp work. Which is awesome because now I can start working on proper php development from home instead of having to be at uni to test it. The website I am creating out of uni is beginning to look more user friendly and soon will have some proper functionality.
When i get round to it I will be creating a flip book in HTML5 to be added to one of the pages. It will hold a set of images so that users can check out the B&B facilities in a good looking environment.
Back to uni!
So far it is going OK. tonight is the latest I have stayed up but oh well. I am kind of trying to test a friends website, creating an account was easy and hassle free. I have a few opinions on the site which
I will discuss with them.
I have 4 hand ins next week which is making me a little worried but I have finished one of them and am well on my way to getting the Web development one done.
Quality content!
So loads of my friends just cant get why I spend so much of my time on Youtube. Well the answer is so i can watch things like this.
YEA! score one to Youtube.
So I lost my old hat... which made me sad. No more peaked animal hat :(
But I did go out and buy a new one, it looks like this.
Its pretty plain but still has a peak. I think its just going to be a hat to wear whilst I look for a better one.
I am also REALLY into pyjama bottoms at the moment. So I have cookie monster, ghost busters and toy story ones.. maybe more in the near future.
