Mike brought his LEGO up to Aberystwyth from Cardiff about a week ago and so we built a castle:

LEGO Mike’s Castle
Thursday, March 1st, 2007Deadwood Style Moustache
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007This shouldn’t really warrant an entry all its own but I write in case it falls off. It being moustache:
All Deadwood style, with the wank little chin bit too. I don’t know… it’s pretty? Also for those who do not see me often.
Tomorrow more LEGO, I only wait for daylight.
Module Results
Saturday, February 24th, 2007Got last term’s module results on Thursday and write them here so as I don’t forget:
78% for Java Programming
82% for Maths
85% for UNIX and Hardware
88% for Databases
I did well, but need to make sure I keep trying, else I shall fail later. To contrast the above, only got 43% for an in-class test a couple of weeks ago that required programming on paper. I can program on computer but need to practise on paper; need to learn how to write down that which I automatically know how to make go.
LEGO Glass Spaceship
Friday, February 9th, 2007On account of the eyes, I’ve never actually seen the stars in anything other than photographs.
The idea for this model was that it be a self-sustaining craft for two people to get from one place to another. The replicator provides food and water etc., extracting the base material it needs from any matter the ship passes through or near and also the output of the crew’s stillsuits. Due to space limitations, for the pilot and passenger to swap positions, the stillsuits double as spacesuits and a brief walk outside is necessary.
Most important of all is that the passenger section is covered almost entirely in glass. This is so that the person in the back can fall asleep surrounded by stars.
80%
Monday, January 8th, 2007Aw yeah…
For the group piece of monster coursework that I mentioned on the 4th of December last year, we (Tom, Mike and I) received a grade of 80%.
“Assignment Marker Comments: I like this very much! My only criticism is the length of some of your lines which causes linewrap. Otherwise a first class piece of work. Well done.”
Shiny.
Butterbeans
Monday, December 4th, 2006I don’t know. Butterbeans? It’s been a long while since I was last awake this much. 38 hours and counting, with just a 50 minute nap around 12 hours ago…
I don’t know. I was doing some coursework, spent about 14 hours on it in the end, and it is really nicely done and polished and proper… And it’s worth a whole 25% of its respective module, 1/24th of this semester, 1/48th of this year and this year doesn’t even count towards the final four year degree… My piece of group coursework, the one that’s due in four days, that one’s worth at least 6 times as much.
I don’t know. Battlestar Galactica Season Two is what I started watching in between the long works, and it is most mighty. Boomer just died; poor Boomer.
Dana died the week before last, I found out on the Wednesday. The last five years, living in London, I had meant to ask her about my grandfather, as I did not know him and she did. Oh well.
I need to write to Yuwan, Cass, David and Russell.
Kitty moves to Germany soon.
I need to sleep now.
