Hey All,
Its been a long time since I posted anything here, but as I draw close to the end of my degree, and as things start changing again in my life, I have taken to writing them down again (though mostly this is at my site.

Another four exams down, and now into 'Semester' 3. I have landed myself a job in Government, so I no longer will be required to work excessive hours without compensation. I start that job on 11/12/06, in two weeks time.

I am almost at exhaustion point. Since exams last semester, I have been running around crazily trying to learn everything for this semester. That includes studying MCSE, Toshiba Procare Training, IBM product training, Custom SBS 2003 Installation Scripts (eg. Exchange Scripting, as the rest is simp…

Accounting is down, now just Monday and Wednesday of next week for the other two... here's hoping.
I also hope that my less than spectacular effort in this Accounting exam actually gets me 50% of the mark. I probably should have spent more time studying.

Statistics Exam is down. I think I passed (I was fairly confidently answering the questions at least), so we shall see if I was deluded or not.
Got the Accounting one tomorrow... damn I hate the boredom of accounting.

Assignments have now been completed.
I have checked my overall Accounting %age which sits at 78.955%. Not bad considering that I don't own the text book (and the last assignment required me to use a table of data out of the book... there went about 20% [grin])

So, Friday (Tomorrow) I have my final accounting test due. It is currently 75% complete, so I should easily finish that tonight.
I finished my Marketing Assignment, still under the required words. I think they actually require too many words in most of these assignments (or I am too concise) because…

I simply can't believe some of the absolute rubbish that is required in assignments for subjects like Marketing.
Perceptual Mappings, I mean seriously! Sure, draw pretty graphs to make the mumbo-jumbo appear scientific, although the same conclusions could be gleaned without the stupid 2D graphing of…

Not long until I can kick these assignments in the rear, and then have to concentrate on exams.
Marketing is the biggest worry at the moment, as it is an essay that needs to be handed in (due in this friday). Once that is complete I have a weekend to complete an Accounting online test (that should t…

I have been busy of late with a few Assignments (which you should see above have diminished significantly). There are still some to go, but the majority of work is done for this semester. I am looking forward to getting back into Programming for next semester.

Empyrean Gate has been in a state of Stagnance of late. Not due to any lack of interest from my part, but more due to a lack of time. That should all change after Monday (in the few weeks leadup to exams) as the majority of assignments will have been completed at that stage.

So Archie and I started talking mappage, and how the ingame will work. We are going to stay true to Isometric, and use the Baldurs Gate method of being able to 'travel' back to already visited areas.

I have been pushing hard to get a Management Assignment (or two) finished. They are both due this Friday, and hopefully I can finish off the 2500 word one today.

I've averaged at between 3 and 4 hours of sleep for over 7 days straight now. Mostly due to assignment work. I added up some more content to the Empyrean Gate wiki wrt Cultures within the game.
I liked the distinct culture phases that were apparent in Diablo II from act to act. This was fairly well …

So Archy has been discussing Race Relations in his journal. He wants a peaceful world where harmony abounds... but realistically nobody wants to play in hippy fairy land. We want conflict, and thats what Dwarves and Elves do best when in the same room... CONFLICT!

I added in some stuff to the wiki today on the Music system I had been talking about some months back in this journal. ArchWizard has suggested using FModEx, and I am looking forward to seeing what it can do in comparison to SDL/SDL_mixer and OpenAL. Both of the latter I hated for various reasons. …

After living on Caffeine for the past few days I find that now I can't go to bed early, and I have real trouble getting up in the morning.
I can see why people start drowning their morning with coffee now. Hopefully my brain will wake up enough soon to be able to continue development.

Just finished my Statistics Assignment 2. This took a while to complete due to the fact that the student discussion boards were packed full of people disputing what the questions where asking. I should have just made up my own mind about what the questions wanted and continued with that.

I am sitting here at 3am wondering if I am going to get through this Statistics Assignment by the end of Monday. I may need to take the day off work in order to manage it, unless now that I have almost figured out how SPSS works that I will be able to finish the other questions a marked bit quicker…

It's amazing what you can accomplish at 2am, when you think that your brain is completely asleep you can come up with some surprisingly interesting ideas.
I will check back on what those ideas were when I wake up tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I might see if I can have some more creative ideas t…

Life has become a Juggling act, where I have my Job, my Uni, my Family and my Project with Archie (not necessarily in any particular order) all floating up in the air with me running around left, right and centre trying to keep them airborn. Life is hectic!

Well, it appears that my current Collaboration with ArchWizard has been Outed. So I have been trading in sleep for work. I wouldn't have said that it was a Baldurs Gate/NWN clone, because I couldn't hope to put in as much technical skill as NWN has, but I certainly hope to get something similar to …

This subject is the bane of my existence. I could handle Statistics and Accounting with no problems. There is nothing creative that has to be done with those numbers. But Marketing... Sheesh.

So I was just reading Mithrandirs latest journal entry and I was quite surprised when I started a slight introspection on my own life. I have recently become quite an angry bastard, or at least grumpy might be a better way to describe it.

I just completed an online test for accounting last night. Wouldn't have been such a big deal had I done any previous accounting study in my life. So apparently this online exam takes about 1.5 hours for students who are enrolled in the course to complete. Well, I started at 8:00pm, and I finished …

Well, the Server with the mysteriously degrading array seems to be down on its knees begging me for forgiveness. It has only taken about a month and far too much overtime to sort it out.

Well, after loafing off us for over a year, my brother-in-law finally moved out. He is moving over to the US to live with his Uncle and go to Uni over there, which has finally given us back that other bedroom. Now, to turn that into an office so I can start studying/working in there ;)
