Jayden and Crusader started out as a doodle comic on my dA account way way way back in July 07.
It debued on Drunk Duck on August the 1st, and has now been moved here, thanks largely to my friend Johnathon, aka, Kirrus.

This site will probably get moved about a bit, reworked, with banners, adverts and so on, but for the moment its plain.

Hello All.

A quick update from your friendly neighbourhood sysadmin here. I’ve just added some functionality to this website. Things may be a bit broken though, so if you notice anything wrong, let either myself or the author of this fine comic know.

Thanks,

Kirrus

So… today I went on my first University Open day to see where the hell I am going to go in September 09. So far, Exeter looks like the best place. I would like to get into Cambridge, and I’ll need to see what Bristol and Southampton are like, but when I visited Exeter I think I found a place I would be very happy to study at.

One thing I liked about Exeter, that got me really excited, is that I realised they’d fixed the problem with Modern Architecture. Each building on the campus taken on their own, excluding a few older ones, is ugly. Almost ungodly. However, the way they are slotted into Exeter, the way they flow across the hills, the use of trees to soften the hard edges, the wonderful contrasts that exist throughout between nature and architecture, its a beautiful university.

On the flipside, I am still in a quandary about what I wish to study, although it is still a toss up between Geography and Engineering, specifically civil engineering. I love engineering, I really do. Ever since I was a little boy, reading about Isembard Kingdom Brunel, I new I wanted to be an engineer. I love the challenge of it, the romance, the science. I don’t want to be a mechanical engineer, messing around with cars, and new materials, but a civil engineer, designing rail networks, electricity grids, world class buildings. That’s what I would love to do. On the other hand, I am very good at Geography. I could probably get a Masters with very ‘little’ effort. Obviously I would have to put in the work, but it wouldn’t be nearly as taxing as trying to get the MEng. Maths, is my weakness right now.
I need to find a private tutor. As soon as possible. If a tutor got me an A* in English, it can get me an A in Maths. Screw the expense!

The trains getting down to Exeter were abysmal. Total signal failure at my home station Didcot Parkway, I had to drive to Bristol to get the train south. It probably would have been easier, cheaper and far faster to simply drive all the way. But at the time, I’d decided on the train, and wasn’t to be dissuaded. Here’s a logic puzzle. If it costs £20 to go from A to B and £20 to go from B to C, how much does it cost to travel from A to B to C to B to A? Answer: £68.50. Second Question, how much does it cost to go from B to C to A? Answer: £70.50. British public transport is insane right now.
A single ticket should cost half a return. A return should cost twice a single, unless it is a cheap day return with limited train times. That’s it. I don’t care how you fiddle the numbers, keep it simple. Keep it understandable.
Don’t prat about. When/if I become an engineer, First Great Western is where I am heading FIRST.

As some of you may have noticed on Thursday, I broke the comic a couple of times, adding fixes and tweaks. I’ve finally managed to hack them into working, with the liberal use of a couple of .htaccess Redirect rules. For some reason there seems to be something a little screwy with some of the links.

The main addition, is that you can now click on a comic anywhere in the archive to move to the next one. Hope that helps

Anyway, if you notice something not working, please let me know by emailing here: kirrus@kirrus.co.uk

Cheers,

Kirrus
