Ok, again, a couple of days since I last updated, and lots of new information to be added in that time period:
Matt
The Micromouse stuff came on thursday, but that was my
last exam and the SYS party, and basically I wasnt in any
state to work on it that night. So then we had to wait
till Friday to start. Due to unforseen circumstances, it
was quite late on thursday that things got happening, but
we had a mock up of the mouse by half ten, allowing me a
bit of time of unstressing with friends...
The next day was a massive outing to the Royal Holloway
Institute in London, went with Jon, our other group member
to see a race... what an experience! Interestingly enough
I met another guy I knew - TEv - he's been working as an
intern for a Cambridge Consultancty company and on one day
a week for the past eight months they've also been
building a micromouse, but only they had a budget of
£1000. And they managed to overspend. Interesting isnt it,
especially since my budget was "whatever I didnt eat".
You've got to laugh - they didnt manage to make it round
the first turn :).
Course
My course is sort of sorting itself out. Now they have
offered us one of the electronics units next year, and
another the year after, but Im being hesitant. I would
really like to take this up, only I think what might
happen now is I try to take up some maths units instead of
doing something like.... graphics (eugh). But then again
thats just me.
Work
The summer job hunt is going ... how can i say this?
Badly? Well yes, infact its going slightly worse then
badly and all I've been offered is some freelance stuff.
Looks like I'm going to grab that and then go after a Job
in Peterbourgh.
ORGY
Unfortunatly, work on ORGY will have to be ... limited
over this summer, as I cant dial up to the internet whilst
in nux.
UUNN
Due to no work being done on ORGY, instead I'll have to
divert my time somewhere else, and the place - ORGY. Oh
yes, how great am I? Crap actually, but thanks for
asking.
Life
My life is ... how can I say this? Interesting and
complicated. With things becomming slightly better now,
but still - "hmm" is about the only thing that you can say
to really describe it really well.
Been through some
interesting things recently, including
savs's barbique, and ...
Strawberry Fair
Yes, I attended what can only be described as @THE@ hippy
event of the year. With banners flying "SKY HIGH"
and "www.cannabis.com" and my mum diving off saying thigns
like "well they do some nice floor mats in there..." yes
mother, but they also mark my affiliation with the
bong.... not something that I would like to advertise if I
wish to make any kind of credibile political career in the
future - I havnt ruled it out yet ok?
Elvastone Castle Rally
ACtually the official title of this is Elvastone Mobile
Radio Rally, and it is THE definitve rally for the RSGB
(radio society for great britain). Remember all that stuff
they taught you at uni? you know, about "hamming" in data
error checking - well news for you, Ham is sort for
Ameatur, and its from the Ham's that all the error
correction techinques descend. hence the name duhh.. But
anyways I got some bits and pieces for Matt.
