A Busy Day
Well, it’s all happening today (umm, technically now yesterday). First off, something completely different : Sometimes, there is beauty in simplicity.
I found out this afternoon that I might have a viva for my degree - basically I’m on the shortlist, and I’ll only find out just beforehand on Thursday whether I’ll be picked to talk with the external examiners. I spent some time trying to work out which boundary I’m within a few percent of, and unless I’ve done something really, really badly wrong with my coursework this year (and I mean ~36% badly) then it’s to see if I can get up to a First. Which would be a nice blag really, much better than for instance…
…blagging your way into the Summer Ball. Or should that be linked to like this: Smyle. Depends what I want to do with the old search engine malarky. I was in the Union reception (on non-Union business, I hasten to add), when the therein mentioned Ents Manager was letting the Union General Manager know about the aforementioned page. It was quite fun watching it zing around the offices, and the completely different reactions of people involved. I’m not going to (currently) make any further comment, while I seek legal advice. Getting worked up about the whole thing is too much like hard work…
…and my plans to avoid work over the forthcoming year are looking increasing shaky, as I now have two people wanting to know if I’m interested in working for them. And that’s paying jobs, not just the other guy who wants to know if I’m interested in aparently living in the storeroom and doing my other hobby as a full time affair. Sounds more enjoyable, but somewhat less financially rewarding, than doing my main hobby, which is computer programming…
…for DramSoc, it would currently appear. I’ve been working on Brightstar for a few days, and have come across recursive functions for the first time in anger. For printing out the contents of a ‘group’, as me and Gaaaaary are calling it, where a group may contain other groups…
…and as cool as this linking across paragraphs may seem, it has to end now. Goodnight.
