This Blog is basically dead, I made it because no one I know followed it so I wouldn’t be worried about them questioning what I did. But I’ve found I don’t really use it. So if you stumble upon this place, don’t expect more, because it’s unlikely to appear
I made this blog because I thought it’d be easier to keep updating than a professional one, but I don’t update this, I don’t know what the point of it is, it’s just a super secret second tumblr... eh, guess I’ll keep it though, I followed some real good blogs
Second Year Trimester 1
I have now had at least one lecture from each of my modules this year and these are my first impressions;
Software development 2
Seems simple so far but apparently it ramps up fast as we are expected to have previous programming knowledge. It’s learning C# which I have a base knowledge of from my previous work in Unity. I like that we are working with GUI’s and not just in the console now
Systems and Services
The lecturer is awful, English isn’t their first language, they talk to quickly, they don’t explain things well, I think they’re using someone else’s slides as they kept having to stop to read through them before they spoke. Also I couldn’t work out if the slides were wring or what she was saying was wrong as she implied that 32 bits was less than 3 bytes and at one point she said BBS and FBS were back side bus and front side bus then later they were written BSB and FSB which makes more sense. Furthermore the subject itself seems very similar to the Computer Systems module last year which I also found very boring and hard to follow.
Databases
When I read the title of this module it sounded really boring, and I wasn’t by any means looking forward to it. We have a table on one of the white boards that colour codes how good people think the modules are and I was surprised to see this one was coloured green for good, however, I then met our lecturers. Andrew I’d had before and I knew he was an entertaining lecturer, but I expected the other guy to be a bore, I was wrong though, they both stayed through each others lectures and made comments throughout, they were incredibly entertaining and informative and definitely the best lectures I’ve had. It may be a boring subject matter, but I think with these two as lecturers it will be an enjoyable experience... I just wish they’d lecture for Systems and Services too...
Uni starts back in September, gonna live over there this year, should be gooood
Jobs
I had an audition for a job at the Dungeons on Monday, I got the impression I wasn’t trained enough to get it, as she was saying how most people who do it are or have trained to be an actor, so much for wanting an acting job while I study computing. I don’t know for certain I haven’t got it though, I’ll find out on Monday.
100% on my first programming fundamentals coursework woohooo!
Next one due 18th of April, plus I have Haskel stuff due on the 13th.... who needs easter holidays anyway
If you count in base 2 instead of 10, you can use your fingers to count up to 1023 from 0, with the most aggressive number being 132 and imo the most difficult being 585
Coursework due in today, C does not seem to like strings, ah well after this we move onto c++
