I had my last exam of my degree yesterday morning, the joys of accounting and law. I thought it was going to be a fairly easy ride, having looked at the past papers and gone over the material beforehand. Unfortunately the law paper had nothing on intellectual property, crime or negligence (the three areas that […]
Another one bites the dust
I finally got my compilers exam out of the way today. I’ve been worrying about it for some time because I really couldn’t understand the notes when I started to go back over them, even though I seemed to have very few problems following the lectures. Thankfully the paper was slightly kinder to me than […]
Two down, two to go
Have got through two exams this week, with another coming up on Tuesday and one more the week after – on the last day of exams of all times :(. Distributed Operating Systems: I seemed to know enough material to answer any of the questions, which was reassuring. It was surprising to see no mention […]
Return of the Cybermen (and other things)
Doctor Who I managed to actually sit down and watch Doctor Who when it was broadcast this week, instead of having to mess around setting tapes or waiting for someone to upload it to UK Nova. I was glad to see the Cybermen finally return to our screens, although I think they looked a bit […]
The most boring document in the world
As of Wednesday afternoon, my project report was “complete” and handed in, no more worries about it (well, except thinking about how I’ve done, but it’s a bit late now and I’ll find out eventually anyway, assuming the lecturers get back to marking work at some point). Should anyone find themselves troubled by insomnia over […]
Have I Got News For You returns
I know quite a few people who read my blog like this show, so here’s a rather late head’s up on its return tonight at 9pm on BBC 1. Lembit Opik is one of the guests, and he’s always amusing, especially if there’s anything related to UFOs in the news.
Blackpool Photos
Photos of last Saturday’s Warped trip to Blackpool are available, courtesy of: Tom Beth Kate Thankfully I managed to avoid the cameras this year, so there are no embarrassing photos of me, except for the one of Jon and I trying to climb a ladder (it’s more difficult than it looks, and goodness knows what […]
Benevolent realist
Almost everything has been going wrong since Sunday, which has been rather annoying and meant that I’ve been really fed up and ill towards the end of the week. I still wasn’t feeling great at Blackpool either, by the middle of the afternoon I was fatigued and I ended up going home early as a […]
Constant flux
So much going on at the moment, things seem to change drastically on a day to day basis… QinetiQ PhD I eventually decided not to apply for this, prompted by an email yesterday from the person who is organising things on the university end asking if I’d sent in my application. It was really hard […]
Quick update
Time for a quick update whilst taking a break from my third year project (which is going rather well – 1358 lines of source code and about 3500 words of the report so far). Vacation work I finally got round to handing in my application form for vacation work in my department. I don’t know […]
