Diary: December 2003

Well yay

Tristan and I skipped the trip to the melting pot after our agents lecture, because we have work to do before the party tonight. Only we waste an hour on the way home, and then the internet doesn't work for an hour or two, and so now we apparently don't have time to do the work and have the party, and I sadly have to agree. I am gutted.

So to clarify, the party's cancelled. Might try again sometime.

Success!

So, it looks like I finally got something right! There was no way I could get my literature review finished before the party. But what am I talking about? It's a 24/7 party in the House of Radiac. Take right now for example; I am listening to Queen, with my christmas lights on, checking I have my facts about the fundamental flow constraint correct. But I'm afraid admission is by invite only.

Time for some compulsory late-night lyrics:

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time

I'm having a ball

Don't ...

Party!

We had a party!

Finished my literature review this morning (uh 'this' as in Friday) at about 7ish, had some lectures, had some food and collected my new glasses, which look like my old ones, only better. Not that anyone sees them, because I mostly wear my contacts.

I have, however, just ...

Hi

So I'm home again!

Right, what have I been up to.

Well, I went to be at about 4.30am (yesterday) after being up for about 45 hours. Then, at about 9.30am (peter: yesterday. everyone else: today), I get a phone call. It's from Jason, my flatmate...

"Hi, yeah, I've locked myself out, can you come down and open the door?"

AAAARGH!

So I opened the door, then went back to bed, slept till 3, packed and came home. Nice.

Oops

Yet another day with no work done. I know, I know, it's the holiday so it's ok, but it's less than 3 weeks of holiday and I've got a lot to get done. Got tonbschl and agents to finish, and project to start on. Hey, no! I ordered my webcams for my project! That's work, right? Sweet :)

I have decided that once all my work's out of the way (ie in the summer) I'll write some exciting webcam software using what I've figured out for the project; reading from a webcam and ...
