Alex Sweet | About Me
As you may have gathered, my name is Alex and currently I'm a university student studying computing in Hastings, England. I have been doing all things computers for a very long time and I also love gaming and generally being creative. I decided to make this website as a place for me to put things and share information about myself, updates in my life and the services I can offer. I also love running, drumming, singing, the guitar, traveling, learning new things and my motorbike.
Updates in Alex's life:
Well, it's been a whole year since an update. In 2009 I received a Foundation Degree from the University of Brighton (at last!), have done many travels on my little motorbike, built many website and database applications, played some memorable gigs and have generally been searching for what to do in life. I have been working for various companies and continuing some part time education at university in order to be allowed to complete a top up year should I desire to finish a degree. Having travelled so much in life this is hard as all I really want to do is explore new places I haven't been before, but I realise I should be focusing on more "important" things. I also find myself constantly considering my own business venture, or trying to just be employed and on a decent career path already. Conflicting advice is all around me but time will very soon reveal where the next step will take me. Does anyone have an amazing job opportunity they could offer me? That would be pretty sweet. As ever I remain a geek passionate about programming, I just wish I could get paid for all of the code I write and meet more like minded people. Oh well, until next time. 5:52 AM February 18, 2010
Dear diary, I've come to realise that I neglect updating this website. This saddens me but I am committed to doubling my efforts in the future. So anyway no one warned me that the second year of university would be so much harder than the first. I've been, busy, busy, busy. Right now I'm just starting my final year project and making a big-ish database application for a local company. It's turned out to be quite rewarding so far but I've been programming so much recently I'm becoming sick of it. I know how to create a feature, for example, but it takes a few hours of typing to get there. The only other thing to tell is that in two weeks I'm flying to norway for christmas. December is freezing cold and it feels like christmas already. As they say in Norway; "God Jul". 13:14 PM December 9, 2008
It has yet again occurred to me that I don't update this often enough. However, I think I'm done travelling for the summer now. Last week I was in Ireland seeing friends, seeing Muse live (most amazing concert in my entire life, and may always be) and exploring dublin, which I must say is a very expensive city. Now I'm back in humble old england and unfortunately work presses on. I've started getting up early in the morning again to run as I have started training again with my aim being to run the Hastings half marathon for the second time. Everything else in life seems normal. I've been taking motorbike riding tuition recently with the aim to get my full motorbike licence, which is just so much fun. Otherwise, I still have 6 weeks left of summer before university year number two starts. 20:10 PM August 19, 2008
Hello world! I'm back from Norway and I can definitely say that I had one of the best times of my life there and that I have changed as a person. I met a lot of friends, new and old, and I have come back with a passion in my heart. No, I'm not in love, but my passion is for my life and the way I live it, the relationships and friendships in my life and a passion to give back as much as I possibly can. Everyone who was there in Norway, you all rock. I will, hopefully, talk to all of you soon. Otherwise - until next year and hallelujah. Now also to back to work and the wonderful world of web design and programming. Right now I'm adding changable themes to a website for a friend, and creating a bible course online for a church. 20:53 PM August 1, 2008
I write this as I am packing to leave for Norway in one hour. Yes, this means no one will be able to get a hold of me for the duration of my time away - a whole five days. It should be an amazing amount of fun though as I travel with many friends, for the fourth time now, for the summer camp. When I come back, I will only be back for one week before travelling to Ireland for a further week of summer fun and craziness. So it looks like life and the internet is on hold for the moment, but when I am back properly in three weeks time I expect to do a lot of things with various people - you know who you are. Let's just not reach paranoid levels of intoxication. To Norway! 0:57 AM July 28, 2008
