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!
