Once again, my slumber brought me ideas of grandeur for the developing project. However this morning, I simply could not be bothered to do anything. Try as hard as I could, there was no motivation to do anything. Not even playing teh videogamezzz! (onoz!!!111oneeleventyeleven) After a painful "I better do it or I'll be in trouble" getting on with ( Read more... )

Yesterday I awoke to the serene beauty of the sunrise over the horizon and brilliant fragrance of a fresh new day, ready to inspire, to motivate and to remind every one and every thing of the gloriousness, and frailty, of life as we know it. So I played some video games and watched some DVDs ( Read more... )

After strenuously pushing myself, I finally managed to get some basic, rudimentary, simple drawing into my project. It started of all funky - my first stratagem was to interpret the mouseDragged event and draw a 5 pixel oval. Only, the mouseDragged event doesn't happen at every pixel of course, so everything was funkeh. Easily rectified by storing ( Read more... )

Been working on my Human and Computer Interfaces assignment to get a bit of a head start, as the work involved when I go back to uni is going to be pretty intense. It's an animated flip book for primary school children, and has to be developed in Java. Yay for relearning Swing interface again. Yay for horrible, horrible layout managers. Yay for ( Read more... )

It's probably about time we got over the whole Christmas thing and got that post of the top of my weblog (although, knowing I, it will probably still be there in 2 weeks time, deeming me grandiose amounts of bad luck!) So here we are, it's now the 8th of January. Not really a milestone of a day, but its a day. It is also the day this ol' computer's ( Read more... )

There are now just six short days 'til Christmas Day, but unfortunately almost all the Christmas spirit's been sucked out of me after a fairly crappy week to round up and up and down month of cold! After having a rather crappy demonstration in the final deadline for the group project and computer blowing up on Friday, returning home on Saturday, ( Read more... )

Fridays, or LongDays as they will now be called, aren't my particular favourites. I remembered this morning at just past 2am that I have a 10am lecture (and my last at that time for this semester) - and of course would require being up by 8.30. That ruined the entire day, as the six hours of sleep barely kept me awake through the 10am lecture. When ( Read more... )

It is SO cold outside. The last few weeks have been so bitterly chilly, I just pray that we actually get some snow this Christmas so I can pretend to frolic! I'm fairly tired... well, not tired, but in a semi-napping state, but really I'm just killing time doing things like updating my journal instead of getting on with work. Sounds like a plan to ( Read more... )

Yay, managed to complete an entire functional programming in three hours, all in time to finish for some 1am Scrubs-ing on e4+1, just for randomness. I did originally plan on getting an early night, but the work, was infuriating and I just had to complete it. Now it works amazingly, yay! Now... off to bed, for... probably another 40 minutes of TV ( Read more... )

So, weekly wrap up, since Friday's a good enough day to do it anyway, and a chance to actually update the ol' weblog. Tuesday, without hearing anything regarding whether I was meant to be heading to work or not by 11, I decided enough was enough and that I would head to Sheffield to meet up with lew_v1, Kinnear, Adam, Gibbo, O'Dwyer, Luke and Hoyland to ( Read more... )
