Today was Warped’s annual trip to Blackpool, and what fun there was to be had… The day started off sunny and rather warm for this time of year, so much so that I enjoyed a quiet walk to the nearest cash machine to draw out some money and grab some chocolate from the newsagent. Just […]
Third year projects
The third year projects list for my degree course was released today, and seeing as I’m almost certainly not taking a year out for industrial experience next year I’ll be going into my final year instead and have to choose a project which will be worth 25% of my degree. So far I’ve eliminated a […]
Crazy day
Today has been even more crazy than the usual events in the life of Mr Waring. The day started as normal, with the usual three hours of lectures. Algorithms was good because I found out that tomorrow’s lecture is cancelled and therefore I can go home at 4pm rather than at 5pm, which is cool. […]
Ruddigore and other amusements
Once again, the past few days have been rather amusing and interesting in various ways… On Thursday I had to trapse all the way back to Bury for the first time in ages (I haven’t been home for quite a while) as BT were doing some work on the phone lines and I wanted to […]
So far this week
This week has been pretty busy already, and I’m only two days in… Monday was the usual lecture madness, although fortunately I didn’t have to stay behind to 5pm for software engineering because that’s every other week. Fortunately we moved on to a new topic in databases (at last, no more keys/normalisation!) although said topic […]
Cinema fun
Last night I went with Cez and Rachel to The Filmworks to watch a couple of movies. We got in free for Criminal because of Rachel’s divine influence (or perhaps the fact that she works there), which was most amusing because the only people who actually went to that screening were us and another member […]
Past two days
The past couple of days have been somewhat eventful. First off yesterday we had the usual shennanigans at Warped, although attendance was unusually high, partially due to the DSVR mob plus Justine was up from Brighton. The Burlington antics were fairly standard—as always there was a group playing pool, another group complaining about work (just […]
It’s just a jump to the left
It was a fairly busy day for me yesterday, didn’t wake up until about 11am (thanks to being up until 3am on UA, really must stop doing that… :), then crawled out of bed about half an hour later because I was tired but realised I couldn’t go back to sleep as I had things […]
Exam results
Just got my exam results for the first semester of the second year courtesy of Kirk via Mike (seeing as I have no lectures today and therefore didn’t go into uni). They’re varied across the board but here we go: Imperative Programming—the C Language: 81% Operating Systems: 69% Computer Networks: 50% The Implementation and Power […]
Three things
It’s Wednesday evening and I’m bored, so here’s a meme to keep my trigger fingers happy… Three names you go by: 1. Tory Paul 2. pwaring 3. Paul (very occassionally 😉 Three things you like about yourself: 1. my sense of humour 2. my ability to jump age gaps 3. my helpful nature Three things […]
