Mirages

So, what have I been getting up to in the past week? Well... at Uni, we've been getting on with learning again, except in my project where we have switched to designing the system. We've got a few assignments back and will continue to get them back this week as well. I've also been given a bursary which will allow me to go to Cambridge for a research conference labelled "Computer Science 2008" sometime in December.

I've also been working on various projects outside of Uni, a few for a couple of companies I work for. This has helped, as always, to provide me with real-life work experience which works alongside my University's given work; allowing me to strengthen each side with the other.

In EVE Online, I recently decided to purchase a GTC and sell it for in-game ISK (the games currency), making me richer then I could ever imagine being. Now I need to sit down and plot... after all, in EVE, you really can do anything if you have the means to do it.

I've also been watching Robin Hood, the BBC's recent version, Series 2. It's getting quite interesting with a lot of twists and turns in the story. And I've just finished off a book series called "The Mirage Makers". The book series follows quite an adult storyline and at times was quite depressing, but I read it all and witnessed the triumphant conclusion which really does make it all worthwhile. It is based in a fantasy world where an evil empire rules and tries to take over the world, and the fantastic path of how one person and her son can change the course of everything. Fantastic read! (Which is why the title is what it is)

Finally, I'll finish off this blog post by saying that I've got App Store mad! That's right... I just love to spend a few hours browsing the App Store for new and exciting applications that I could install on my iPhone. Perhaps one of these days I'll get my website into order and get it so I can show you some of these things!

Until next week then!

A Fresh Start

Hello everyone!

Through my wonderful use of OmniFocus, the great tool for both my Mac and iPhone that I'm starting to use more and more to keep track of things, I am planning to update my blog on a far more regular (weekly) basis, and hearby name Friday "Blog Day". I will use the evening on Friday for posting a blog entry representing the past week.

I will also be looking into updating my website as there are various parts of my website that are really out of date. I've just been so busy doing other things that I haven't had the time. Especially with my third year at uni, and all the other projects going on in the sidelines.

Finally, I may very well be posting up more pictures like the one I did on the 1st November. That was a great game!

Anyway, let's move off what I plan to do and move into what I have done. Well, the last few weeks have been the busiest weeks possible at University. This was because it was assignment season. I had four projects I had to do, one for each of my courses; and some of them were quite difficult. I should be getting my results for each of them over the next coming weeks.

I'm also getting back into finding time for EVE Online. I plan to get up to 65 mil on the game and then finish off my trading spree. I also intend to revamp the Media Center, not that anyone uses it mind; and that includes replacing the video tutorials with written tutorials (and screenshots) at some point.

Well, I am going to finish there. So until next week, have a good time!
