I will be doing international relations instead.

Heh. That means I did the right choice by NOT choosing to start a computing degree this year. I'd rather keep myself to a hobbyist-linux level for now.

Which phone is that ? one of the newer ones i guess..? You got me pretty interested.

my isp is filtering it :]

Well i am currently i live in England. Studying IT for another two years, then ill have an opportunity to join a uni or to go to work. While most of the teachers recommend going to uni, i think going straight to work would be better for me because i'd want to work as:
network technician/linux admin/network admin...etc :] Those kind of work positions sometimes require more exp than education. I know i'd have to start working at lower levels when i finish college and only then try to go up the ladder.
But i read about volunteering to charities and such, i quite like the idea of being junior IT guy for a charity related thing. Should i just go around and ask the shops if they need any IT staff? Or any advice how i can approach it would be great :]
