Graduating on the 15th of July means that I am no longer tied to the Aberystwyth University, legally no longer a student, and at the end of my 18 year ‘career’ in education… Read the rest of this entry »
I meant to blog about this ages ago! Better late than never I suppose…
Back in April (April 22nd to be precise) I handed in two copies of my 72 page document which outlines everything about my project. I wanted to blog about my dissertation while I was doing it, but the thought was always pushed back by other thoughts of actually doing the project. Read the rest of this entry »
On Thursday 30th October, I attended the CS101 lecture in Aber uni. I was there to give a brief talk about OpenSolaris, focusing on aspects like Zones, DTrace and ZFS. I think it went OK, possibly pitched it a tad too high, and I missed out tonnes of stuff I wanted to put in, like the copy on write feature of ZFS…
If anyone attended that lecture and is reading this, please feel free email me any questions you might have about OpenSolaris. If I can’t answer them, I can find an answer 
I have redesigned my webshite, mostly because I got bored and didn’t like the old design…
You can still find it at: users.aber.a.uk/bil6

Up at 8 am this morning and on the bus by 8:50. Got to an empty computer room to find only one of my team members there. I sat in wait until about 9:30, waiting for team members to appear, or even just other groups…
The morning started late with hardly anyone turning up on time. I spent the morning looking once again at some Postgres stuff, but gave up a little before noon.
The day started by running around the Old College looking for the workstation room, after finally finding it, I settled down to work on looking around for Java with Postgres, as this was the database we are working with…Looking around the web wasn’t much help,nothing was going to be easy, especially as I’m not great with SQL.
Ugh, off to another late start, rolled out of bed at 8:10am again…Just about to have some breakfast…Today’s blog may be more of a continually updated commentary of what’s going on…But who knows, eh?
Today started off with rolling out of bed at 8:10am, out the house for 8:50, I had left it a tad late to make it up the hill in time, though my phone helped, playing a crap, compressed version of 99 Luftballons.
It’s a new year and time to get up and go after the Christmas break, however, for us students at Aber uni (as well as other students I’m sure), we look forward to a bunch of exams in stuff we can’t quite remember (perhaps we drank too much or ate too much turkey or something).
