2 down, 1 to go - Another year of University draws to a close and yet I barely feel like I’ve started yet, it seems that as you get older time moves faster! Today I registered for the modules which I’ll take next year. I’m actually technically changing from doing a pure ‘Computer Science’ degree to ‘Software Engineering’, mainly because SE is more interesting and involves less formal maths than CS. If you’re interested the modules I’ve chosen are as follows:
- Advanced Software Engineering (Double)
- Advanced Software Applications and Methods
- Project Management
- Software Engineering Project (Double)
Luckily with these modules there’s a much higher coursework content than in the last two years which to my mind is infinitely preferable!
For those in the know today marks the final stable release of ‘Slackware 10‘, get ISO bit-torrents here. I’ll probably be installing it either tomorrow or over the weekend time permitting. It a shame it doesn’t come with the newer 2.6 kernel as default but it is included as a test package for those with the inclination. I’ve been running it since the beginning of the year and have found it to be and excellent upgrade, its just as stable and even faster than 2.4 so it hopefully won’t be long until it goes mainstream. Take a look here for an interesting potted history of Slackware.
Whilst browsing the news wires the other day I stumbled across this picture which I thought was just too good an opportunity to miss. It depicts Senator Hillary Clinton with actress Natalie Portman (of Star Wars fame) at some Democrat fund raising thing - what struck me was the expressions on their faces - just what is going on in their minds? It’s scary! It then struck me that it was the perfect picture for a little caption competition - if you can think of one please post it as a comment below! No prizes unfortunatly, just the satisfaction of knowing you’re comic genius!
Hillary: “I hope Bill’s not around”
Natalie: “I hope Bill’s not around”
That’s all for now, I’m off home for the summer on Saturday so the web site may experience a short period of down-time around then but I plan to transfer the whole thing over to the Norwich server as a back-up while that happens.
