Seem to have lost my glasses. Again.

Busy day today.

Started with a wee bit of a lie in, although I did make it to the bank and then Uni with an hour to spare. Loving these 12:15 starts twice a week. Managed to fix the code for the Recommender. Undid the four or five hours that I’d spent on it yesterday by reverting to a backup. Then I stuck in a line and a half of code, and that was it. The group project seems to be coming together quite well now. The implmentation should be completely done by Monday, leaving us a few days to scare up these reports for a first draft.

Compilers was a good lecture today. Gabbay complimented my eeePC, saying that it smaller than his. Then I was put in charge of filming the lecture. Better cimatography you’ll never find. That camera was panned about everywhere. Well between the board and projection screen.

After Uni I bought a Guardian (there was no G2 in it, where’s my G2? It’s the perfect size for bus reading), and headed into Costorphine. It rained as it always does when I go to PCWorld. Then I popped over to guitarguitar and bought some new strings (a few months after I snapped one). Tried to head back to the guide rails to catch a 22 by going though a house estate that some idiot didn’t design on a grid iron pattern. Don’t people know how bad that is if you’re just tryng to cut through somewhere you’ve never been before to find streets that lead you in rings. When I managed to get to the guide rails I found myself going west along it instead of the south I thought I was heading (perhaps I should buy a compass, this isn’t the first time I find myself joining a road I know on a heading well off the one I thought I was on). By the time I got there it was entirely the wrong time of day to get a 22, I had to stand in the door way. Bummer.

Tried to update the linux kernal on my eee so that it should sleep and what not but that didn’t work. What’s with ’su’ not working but ’sudo su’ works fine. I don’t really trust Linux anymore.


A few days away.

Well I’ve been struck down by death plague for the past few days. I’ve been able to drag myself into Uni but have been pretty much too out of it to do any work (either that or laziness, and I’m lazy every other day). We had an interesting AI lecture (you heard right) about influences from nature,  It got me thinking that I would like to build a robot, but sadly my limited knowledge of circuitry and physics isn’t quite up to it, something I should look into another day perhaps.

I broke my recommender for the group project, still not taking any tasty database input. I tried to trick it and tell it that these result sets were sweeties but it saw straight through my ruse and recommended no tracks for User 3 at all.

Also there are some student research positions available in MACS over the summer, so I’ve applied up to get me one of those. Research is one of the career paths that I’m interested in but I was never too sure about how to get into it. If I do this over the summer then it should be a lot more interesting and beneficial than working at somewhere like Currys again, and I’ll find out if it would be something I’d look for in the future.


Roll on the weekend.

That’s the second week back at University over with. Only another 5 teaching weeks to go.

Today started off with quality group project workage, much was achived. Then some compilers, we really seem to be cracking on with it. After a short break we had to demonstrate our project to Phil. I thought we should have been a lot further on with it than we are, but he seemed okay with it. So we’ve to follow through and complete this website before we crack on with the documentation.

The day finished with a Grapics lab, it was good chat, looking forward to doing some more, it’s turning out to be this tems best subject.

As for the weekend, God knows what I’ll get up to, I think I’ll start with some chinese.


May as well.

Having a blog looks like good cheese. Let us just see what comes of this, or if any one actually finds it.
