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 […]
Nearly March already
I can’t believe it’s nearly March already, the time seems to be flying by at the moment and I’ve almost lost track of what’s happened the last few weeks. Somewhere along the lines I’ve been running my Dungeons and Dragons campaign with varying degrees of success (it gets rather complicated when I have to create […]
Exam results
I got my third year first semester exam results yesterday, unfortunately they’re not very good but there’s nothing I can do about that now. Here’s what I got, in ascending order of marks: Theory of Games and Game Models (35%): Technically I failed this module, although I think the university rules mean that I pass […]
Conferences and Aikido
Future of Web Apps conference I was down in London for the The Future of Web Apps conference/summit on Wednesday, where everyone got terribly excited about this Web 2.0 stuff (I loathe the phrase Web 2.0, along with Blogosphere, but unfortunately it seems to have slipped into common use on the web). The whole day […]
Valentine’s day meme
Via Foxe, with corrections for the appalling spelling and grammar of whoever initially wrote the meme: 1. Are you single, taken, dating? Single. 2. Do you have a date for Valentine’s day? Not as far as I’m aware. 3. If so, what are you doing? n/a 4. If not what would you want to do? […]
