Mastermind Mark
Tuesday, November 29, 2005 8:45 PM
I got my Mastermind project marked today.  I was freaking out about it a bit because pretty much everyone I had given a copy to had it either not unzipping or not accessing the text file or just plain crashing.  I did tell them all when I sent

Coursework deadline hysteria
Friday, November 25, 2005 7:51 PM
Been a funny sort of day.  Coursework deadline day, the last day to get work marked off.  The boys were all getting rather irate on the forums, at one point they were threatening to burn me as a witch because I suggested they used the waiting

Coursework finished
Thursday, November 24, 2005 9:23 PM
Well, my coursework for this semester is all done!!  I had an extension on mastermind and still managed to get it in only 12 hours after the main deadline.  I am very proud of it, it has taken a lot of work and I think it is quite well

Court
Wednesday, November 23, 2005 7:35 PM
Well, court went ok.  Sadly it is not the end though.  It has been established that direct contact supervised or otherwise is not going to happen so now we are into the realms of legal wranglings over indirect contact, letters and that sort

Ho Hum
Monday, November 21, 2005 9:16 PM
Had one of those long weekends, (the sort that drag on not the holiday sort).  Littl'un was beeing pretty beligerent all weekend, probably because my mind was firmly attached to coursework, not what I was doing.  Boyf' was away at his parents

Moving on
Friday, November 18, 2005 5:04 PM
I really feel I am getting to grips with Mastermind now.  I have got all my sticking points sorted so it's just a matter of sticking in the rest of the code and getting all the paperwork done.  Sadly, just as I am beginning to enjoy myself I

Todays Lecture
Thursday, November 17, 2005 4:58 PM
Rob's lecture was well funny today, there was a certain atmosphere of incomprehension. I think mastermind is melting peoples' brains.  So what did we learn today?  We were told try-catches were like trains blowing up or something.  So

More random wanderings of a slightly crazed mind
Wednesday, November 16, 2005 7:08 PM
I bought a punch bag yesterday, I used to do karate,.  I plan to take it up again when I have some spare time but in the mean time I now have something to practice on.  It was funny when I got it, these two girls struggled out from the

Mastermind, still
Tuesday, November 15, 2005 7:09 PM
I finally got my mastermind peg marker working today, how to do it suddenly came to me on the way home from dropping Littl'un off at nursery.  I am well chuffed, I can now actually get on with coding the rest of it.  I must admit I haven't really

End of semester thoughts

exploding heads
Friday, November 11, 2005 7:15 PM
Well, after previous outburst I may as well fill the world in.  I got the court psychologists report on my ex through today.  I feel like my head is going to explode.  It was as positive as it could be (from my point at least) but it makes

countdown
Wednesday, November 09, 2005 7:13 PM
It's countdown to the end of semester now, the coursework rush has descended and, most evilly, we have an in-class test in one of our year-long modules in the last week of term.  I feel that this is a little unnecessarily sadistic when it could have

hippies and plugs
Sunday, November 06, 2005 4:58 PM
My mother and I were discussing hippies and punks today (As one does!?) when Littl'un was aked if she was a hippie she said no, we asked if she was a punk instead, she said no, she wasn't a plug she was a sink. Bless.  It's been a nice weekend.

Mastermind messing with mine
Friday, November 04, 2005 4:47 PM
I have spent hours trying to figure out what I was missing in my code that was causing it to mark incorrectly, only to find that it was an anomaly I hadn't even considered and my marking code was effectively fine.  If a guess is mapped to a

Phases
Wednesday, November 02, 2005 7:14 PM
I was told when I had Littl'un that everything was a phase, if its good enjoy it, it won't last, if its bad don't stress, it won't last.  I am beginning to realise how true this is.  We appear to have left the phase of asking for things mum
