Well, have now moved into Tim’s spare room in Battersea, and cycled in for the first time today.
I must say I never felt so unfit in my life (well, except for ATC camps), but no doubt I shall acclimatise soon.
The shower works (advantage over Southgate), and a far shorter journey time. So, all factors considered, a most beneficial move.

I have my first exam tomorrow – Computability, Algorithms & Complexity. Conveniently abbreviated to CAC. Everyone else is currently wading through an Architecture exam, but thankfully I don’t take that option, so I’m spared. Revising hard for the CAC exam, but I’m just taking a break now to update you all.
Anyway, aside from the obvious downer of exams, I’m OK.
Next update soon (when I remember). Cheers all.

All sorts of things happening in the heady world of Nickland recently.
Gonz0 and I are moving out of the house in Southgate at the end of the Easter holidays – me to Tim’s free room in Battersea, and Gonz0 to a uni friend’s place.
So that’s great – it’ll only take 20 mins for me to get into college every morning (bike ride), rather than an hour and a quarter, so I’ll be much happier. Will be a distinct advantage for exams, which start as soon as we get back from Easter (5 exams in the first week, apparently).
Moves are afoot for a trip to Amsterdam for a few days after the exams, to wind down. Looking forward to it – something to work towards.

Ah, but the BLUE elephants…
And the RED elephants…
Actually go quite well together. Hmmm.
Booooiinng!
Wibble.

Anyway peeps, I’m going to sleep.. night all.

Well, life continues to go on, I guess.

House life is rather quiet at the moment. We’re trying to rent out the 4th room (lovely situation, new carpet, decorated etc), which is proving to be an interesting exercise.
Gonz0 has met someone; we now hardly ever see him as he’s always out gallivanting. The latest amount of time (6 days) is still mounting. Strong0 & I just left a “life-check” message on his mobile for him to get back to us. I think I’ll email him as well.

Nasty coursework; we have to add debugging facilities to Minix, a teaching OS. Is proving to be awkward – the words “kernel panic” come up quite often 😉
In any case, we are working hard – we have 1/1/2 weeks left to finish it – and we hope to complete it before the deadline. Should prove strenuous.

Dave, Brad and I are going out to the union tomorrow evening for some chow & drink. Went to the Jazz Cafe with Boag a couple of weekends ago, where we saw Capri (Jon’s brother’s funk band) play. They ruled.

Au revoir…

OK, all meet, 7pm, O’Neills, Saturday. Get merry. Bring Santa stuff 🙂
Will be home v late on Friday evening, but hey, that’s the way it goes. The father’s giving Gonz0 a lift home at the same time, so we have to go the nasty M1 route via Sheffield. This may take a little extra time.
Aside from that, nothing to report (except for a niggling little projectette that has to be in at noon tmrw).

See you all Saturday…

And as we walk on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our soul,
There walks a lady we all know..
Who is called Tammy and is engaged! HURRAY!

*giggle*

I have been pestered by my friend Richard to update the page again, so here goes.
We have finished the first part of the graphics project (barely), and are now getting to grips with the delights of filled polygons.
A much greater challenge, as each polygon has to be clipped properly, etc.
The HTML project continues to go absolutely nowhere, as GFX is still far more interesting.
Um… ran out of food yesterday. Need to go to the shop 🙂
More clan reshuffles; we merged with our parent clan a week ago, and are now rather large.
I managed to grab a promotion out of it all, which is nice, but more work 🙁
Such is life, am happily listening to “Love’s Labour’s Lost” soundtrack, which I found in a friend’s room and promptly abducted.
Richard, get yourself a copy of it, it’s great. I’d send it you on Zip, but I don’t think you have a drive…. And I hope exams continue to go OK, or at least better than average.
Cya all l8rs, gotta write a polygon clipping routine 🙂
