Went out with the cs boys on Tuesday night and got very, very drunk (hence the two-day blog gap). We had a couple straight after the exam, all went home for a breather and then started again at about 8pm. For some very strange reason we ended up in shag-tag. *groan* This is the lowest of the low student nights (ok, theres always subway…) but its cheap and we were all too sloshed by then to care about, well, anything much. Wednesday was spent mostly recovering from acute liver poisoning..

Kerry and I went for a mooch around the Dean Gallery yesterday. There is a very handy free ‘galleries’ shuttle bus that you can jump on to get around. Free bus and free galleries, lovely. The exhibition on at the moment was ‘the 1960s’ and had pop art, scottish art from the 60s and was jolly good.
Across the road from the Dean Gallery is the Modern Art gallery which we didn’t get time to go in, but I did take some pictures of the perplexing scuplture/earthworks in its gardens. You can view them in the gallery here.
Yes! Woo-hoo! Yeehaaaa!! Thats Computer Graphics thoroughly ninja-ed. Two pints later in the Pear Tree and I was feeling quite sloshed. Went with Kerry whilst she got her piercings put back in (ouch) and then went and got my hair cut! ye gods! my powers! My head does feel quite lighter now…and cooler.
Did you spot them? Yep, I’ve implemented the ala css drop shadow technique (described here). I reckon it looks quite nice, it needs some slight tweaking but I’ve proscrastinated enough for now.
Yep, had my Visualisation exam this morning. It was so-so, not great and kinda hard to tell how I actually did. Again, it was a very wordy, waffly one. Just one exam left now, Computer Graphics which is most definetly not going to be waffley. Its going to be bl**dy hard!
I had more exam shenanigans this morning. Computer Networking was on the menu for 10am. I felt pretty confident for this one, I had remembered loads of useless stuff that I’ll never, ever need again. The lecturer though, had other ideas. He obviously read my mind just before the exam and all the questions were on things that I hadn’t revised. Marvellous! Plus, all the questions were waffley tat, which normally I love, but for this I had actually learnt the details. But he didn’t want them! Arg! Oh well, I wasn’t going to get a first anyway…
ahhhhh, Computer Security out of the way. It wasn’t great, but then it wasn’t disasterously bad either. Lots of people seem to be kicking up a fuss about the difficulty of one question though.
Stupid hard disc has gone screwy again! ARG!!1!!11
olly smash!
I had my first exam yesterday, these are my final degree exams so they’re pretty scary. It was probably my easiest module though and went pretty well, atleast 60% I would say. The exam is one of the ‘choose 2 of the following 3’ types and I bricked it when I saw the first question, I didn’t have a clue. Thankfully questions two and three were much nicer and I hardly stopped writing for the hour and a half 
I kid you not, working in Appleton Tower this afternoon. Someone discovered a dead mouse on the top of the laser printer, in the paper output tray. I suspect it went through the rollers.
