Deja Vu
After the mess with handups left, right and centre in the final few weeks last year, my group programming project has begun as of last Thurs. Of course, in my absent, on health grounds (no, really!!) my class were asked to form into groups of 5 by yesterday. I only discovered this yesterday, so I’m going to be stuck in a group of remainders from the class for the second year running. :-/ Hopefully, this year’s project (whatever it will be, I decided not to care and wait until it’s assigned to me) won’t crash and burn like last year’s. A few things are certain. Mailing lists are good, CVS will be mandatory and I’ll seize control of the group from the start and control them as long as I could be bothered.
Apart from this, second year seems to be going well this time around. Edsko has been helpful when required as I typeset my 2BA5 notes, since I figure I should revise them soon after I take them, plus I’m getting more experience with LaTeX, which can’t be any harm. I’ve decided to sit the Schol exams in March, with the aim of getting exceptions from as many end of year exams as possible.
I really wish I had the time to sit down and work out why MPlayer in my room won’t play the online stream on Phantom FM. It sucks on;y getting Phantom at the weekends. Hopefully, either it’s a tiny little glitch I just haven’t realised, or ComReg, the evil endity that it is, gives them their well deserved licence so I can finally listen to a good radio station during thenight, instead of all the crap that exists on every other Irish/Dublin station…
