Huzzah! and just like that I loose 10%.

Wednesday, January 28th, 2004

I emailed my lecturer yesterday “Lucie, Isabel tells me that our
projects were supposed to be presented this afternoon. Obviously I couldn’t
make it as I only found out at 3.30 and I live two and a half hours away. I was
on the understanding that the presentations would be in the week after the
reading week […]

Slightly Worried

Monday, January 19th, 2004

I have an awful lot of work to do and the deadline is rapidly approaching.
No more entries for a while (probably). As a sign of how much work I have to do
the two PS2 games I bought on Friday in the sale at Game still haven’t been
opened (except to check there were discs in […]

The Final Project, de ner ner ner…

Monday, January 12th, 2004

So apparently I have to do a final project, to be honest I knew it was
coming but still it’s a bit of a shock that the first proper talk about it was
today and the synopsis is due at the end of next week, hooray for TVU! Still
looks like I’m gonna be okay as I’m […]

This “Global Village” is a bit small

Tuesday, December 9th, 2003

I went to the second part of Ursula Smartt’s lecture on Intellectual
Property today. I was talking to her at the beginning of the lecture and I
mentioned that I had searched for her books but couldn’t find them until I
realised that I had missed the second “t” from her surname. She mentioned that
one of […]

Decisions, decisions..

Thursday, December 4th, 2003

I have to write an essay about one of the following:
“Analyse
the functions of the poster in relation to the emergence of modernism in the
visual arts with particular reference to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
You should relate your answer to the historical conditions in which posters were
produced, circulated, and received by contemporary
audiences.”
“To what extent […]

Copyright and The Mad Trolley Dash…

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2003

Today I had to go to Uni to collect some notes and a set of studio lights.
I also went to an additional lecture on Intellectual Property and Copyright.
The lecture was given by Ursula Smartt who is a senior lecturer within
the law faculty at TVU (she’s also written several books about prisons and
criminology). It was […]

Ooh, get you with your famous friends…

Monday, November 24th, 2003

After Eddie accidently sent me a link to a Norwegian newspaper that proved
that the pic in the forum is actually of Sophie Ellis-Bexter and not him, he has
redeemed himself today. We were in the pub chatting and when we got on to the
subject of “The Osbournes” Eddie mentioned that his
brother-in-law played at the Ozzfest […]

I finally understand…

Monday, November 17th, 2003

Today it all became clear to me: I’m at uni because I don’t know how
to use a search engine. At least that was the impression I was given by
my lecturer this morning. The lecture was supposed to be about JavaScript but
she spent the first 45 minutes explaining that we had to hand in […]

I’m sick of Uni

Saturday, November 1st, 2003

I’ve been busily trying to get on with my uni work. I had to design a site
for Herzog & de Meuron, they’re Swiss Architects. You can see my efforts
here. I’m not
that keen on it now and I’m almost certain that my lecturer is going to make me
redo the whole thing as it’s […]

The revolution will be blogged

Monday, October 20th, 2003

Today was interesting. At the beginning of the second class the lecturer
turned up and couldn’t get the lecture theatre to work, so she went off to get a
technician. Fifteen minutes later Rod (another student) stood up and gave a
short speech that he was fed up with all the time we seem to waste […]
