I’m pretty pleased with them, would have been nice to bump Uniquitous up into the 70s though.

I also have my result for my industrial year back I got 79.

Final year project goes on, it’s an epic world of testing at the moment.

As a side note my wordpress install seems to have been hacked at some point over the last month, I’ve now patched it up to date with the latest version and re-imported the data, so hopefully we should be good for the time being!

Semester 1:

Semester 2:

CS39440 is actually a 10, 30 credit split over the two semesters giving me a balanced 60 credits each term. So far this term my modules seem fairly intresting. I think SE31410 being purely assignment assessed is going to very hard work in a semester with a lot of final year project stuff going on. Most of the other modules are nearly 100% exam based. Ubiquitous computing does have a pre-exam research exercise which we’re then allowed to take notes on into the exam.

In contrast to the sun of last week, this week the weather has turned very windy with some cold and wet! Our house is pretty chilly at the moment!

I’ve spent the day on campus filling in various university related forms, visiting freshers fayre and finishing off my industrial year report. Getting a parking permit was slightly chaotic. I first went at 8.30 and there was lots of people hanging around but no obvious queuing system, by 9 it was just a mob surrounding the desk! By 10.30 there was a queue of 3 people, so my advice is for parking permits is go on the first day.

Tommorow I have some website work to do on jonahosting.com and jonayoung.info, its also the sports fayre so I might go over to that, although I suspect I will be too busy this year to join sports clubs. I also have to finalize my module choice before going to registration on Wednesday.
Hopefully it will be less than a year before my next blog post!

Apart from work I had a couple of weeks holiday including: a weekend on a canal boat with Gem’s family. A week in the lake district with My Family, the Sharps and the Milways! A week at peak adventure which I spent most of kayaking instructing and we had a visit from the ever lovely AALA.

Which when you put it like that makes it seem a pretty busy summer! Still enough blogging for the time being….

Just a quick one, results came out today and to save lots of people asking they are as follows:

Which is alright, as I suspect I didn’t do that well in Richard Shipman’s cs211 module. Pleased with the group project mark (cs221) and also my databases mark especially as I’m going to spend most of next year playing with the databases.

Tomorow I have a riviting report on battery charging due in for Mobile and wearable technology. For the end of term I have two databases assignments due which involve implementing an actual database in Oracle, it has some pretty evil parts mainly to do with trying to enforce integrity constraints on concurrent insert (told you it was evil!). As well as this I have to start some doing some research and maybe read some books (shock, horror!) for my professional ethics in hacking essay. Which I’m supposed to write over easter.

Aside from work I’m quite busy, last weekend I went to the outdoor show at the NEC in Birmingham with Gem. Which was good although as in previous years a lack of climbing stall’s I thought but perhaphs I just didn’t look hard enough. I brought a new dry bag and rescue knife. It was quite an epic day we went on the train which meant it took forever, we also ended up taking a random diversion via Wolverhampton. To see Gem’s family and pick up her new fleece (see it was random!).
This week is the St Mike’s Mission, which I’m not that involved with, mainly because I have so much work on, but the CU are running “jazz cafe’s” in the chapel at lunchtime and I’m also planning to goto the uber service(tm) on sunday evening in the great hall.

I finish for easter next friday and currently planning to drive home on the saturday. I’m working three weeks for Coreware which should be good fun although means I don’t get a whole deal of time off over easter.

Anyway I think I’ve put off doing databases for long enough to must return to it……

I still have so much work its quite unfunny. I current have to do: 2 x database assignments (although they were set yesterday and aren’t due until the end of term). 1 x Computer algorithms assignment which involves writing a scientific paper about  CPU scheduling which I’m not loving and 1 x HCI (Human Computer Interaction/interface).

I did however get my exam results for the January exams. I got 66 in C and Unix and 73 in Computer hardware. Which is a bit bizzare because I thought I would be the other way round but as we haven’t had ANY coursework marks back from C and Unix I don’t know which bits I didn’t do so well on.

I don’t have anything else that interesting to write about except to continue the tradition of mentioning the weather it is currently sunny in Aberystwyth despite what the BBC website said last night.

We’ll be working 9am to 6pm on campus which is going to be pretty hardcore, I reckon the whole area around computer science, especially the computer rooms could be pretty hectic!

Hopefully it will be a good week but it does have potential for chaos and disaster and could be quite stressful!!!
