Loli and I went to Glasgow yesterday to see our friend Jonathan for his birthday gathering. We met him in Central station with his friends: Alistair, Sara and Bally (a nickname borne of the surname "Ballantyne ( Read more... )

Just got off the phone with my old boss to see if there would be any jobs going there once my exams are over. Turns out that their department (or the infrastructure or something) is being sold to AXA, so there won't even be an MLC after August.

I finally got my December exam results in today. I got an A2 in Science Fundamentals (but then, it is Science Fundamentals) and a C3 in Maths, which wasn't so great. Still, I'd expected A5 & D1 or 2, so I guess it isn't so bad. For the Computing Science classes, we just got tests which contribute to our final grade at the end of the year. I've ( Read more... )

I ain't done one of these in, like, a year. Certainly never on LJ, where it may remain forevermore (or at least as long as LJ's servers last ( Read more... )

So, what have I done since the last update ( Read more... )
