Despite having an exam tomorrow morning and another the day after, I’m still finding it really hard to revise. All my work seems to fit into two categories, either it’s something I don’t like but have to do (e.g. software engineering) which I hate revising because of that, or it’s something I already know a […]
Exam panic part II
Well, I’ve got a networks exam to look forward tomorrow, and once again I’m in a state of minor panic because I don’t think I know enough to answer the questions that I’m sure I’ll face. I can deal with advantages/disadvantages of one system against another, but I’m dreading any technical questions about the composition […]
Software engineering exam
Well, it didn’t go quite as badly as I feared yesterday, which was a big relief. Two good questions on Z, which I had actually revised, gave me a decent and encouraging start, especially seeing as one of them was based almost entirely on the lecture notes case study that I’d looked at the night […]
Exam panic
My first exam, Software Engineering I, is tomorrow afternoon. Usually I’m reasonably calm about exams, even though I really dislike them, but this time round I suddenly feel really apprehensive and nervous. I don’t know why, perhaps it’s because these are probably the first exams that really mean something (A levels were important, but mainly […]
Labour poster campaign slogan
“Lowest mortgage rates for 40 years” Correct me if I’m wrong, but last time I checked the Bank of England started setting the base rate of interest independently of the government as of 1997. Given that variable-rate mortgages are based on this figure (they usually rise/fall within a month of it changing), how the hell […]

Any feedback on the site would be appreciated, and if you want to get involved all […]
New Year’s Eve party
For those of you who didn’t know, we decided to bring in the new year in style by having a house party at the place where I live in Manchester (well, actually there were various plans being thrown around until it was decided on a house party and as usual I opened my big mouth […]
Happy New Year!
Ok, I know this is technically a few minutes late (due to me being absolutely shattered and travelling all over the place in the last 24 hours), but I wish everyone a Happy New Year for 2005.
Review of the year
Via Jennie and David: Best Local bands seen: Don’t know any local bands. Worst local bands: As above. 🙂 Exotic towns/cities visited: Nowhere, not really one for travelling. Girls I fancied but failed to get anywhere with: Ha ha, wouldn’t you like to know. 😉 Girls I fancied and did get with: None. 🙁 Great […]
RSS feed available
After requests from several people (including Samir), I’ve incorporated an RSS feed into my site. In common with the rest of Rogue Tory, I wrote the code myself rather than finding someone else’s solution—and in fact it wasn’t particularly difficult because at the end of the day the feed is just a simple plain text […]
