By tim, on May 29th, 2011 at 9:12 pm I’m using the gap between now and when I can do my DD307 group discussion (arranged for 6th June) to try to get as much done as possible on SD226 and TMA03, which is due in on the same day as the DD307 TMA04 project report. I pleased to say that I’ve managed to finish the first question off today (five short answers) and I’m intending to use a train journey down to Exeter tomorrow to have a go at question 2, which is a 1,000 word essay.
I’m also intending to use my journey back on Tuesday to finish . . . → Read More: SD226 – TMA03: first question down, two to go
By tim, on January 5th, 2011 at 10:49 pm Before anyone else says it, as DD307 doesn’t start officially for a few more weeks yet, I know I’m really making quite good progress overall!
I took today off work (having been back at my desk for all of one day this year) so that I could take my youngest daughter up to Preston for a university interview/audition. My TMA01 essay came with me too.
At the start of today I had 60 words written (out of 1,500).
<drum roll> I now have 110. </drum roll>
Today has not been the most productive essay writing day I’ve ever had, but . . . → Read More: DD307 – slow progress on TMA01
By tim, on September 27th, 2010 at 8:47 pm Things are looking a little different around here at the moment as I got bored with the old theme on the blog and I’ve decided to change it. I was going to wait until after the DD303 exam on the 18th, but hey, what would revision be without a little bit of procrastination?
By tim, on September 12th, 2010 at 2:30 pm I’ve been finishing off TMA06 and attempting to get down to some revision this weekend, with a mixed amount of success as the rest of the household seems to be in chaos. I’ve also got the gloomy thought of having to drive down to Bracknell later on as yet again, I’m starting my working week there. As I’m leading a training course for the salespeople first thing in the morning, I’ve decided that the only way I can be awake enough to make it worth their while is to sacrifice my Sunday evening and drive down to the luxury Bracknell . . . → Read More: DD303 TMA06 and more thoughts on revision
By tim, on June 3rd, 2010 at 10:06 pm Tonight’s procrastination (instead of doing more work on chapter 10): searching YouTube to find versions of the greatest song ever written using two chords – Whole Wide World, by Wreckless Eric.
An amazing live performance from “What’s On”:
The original single version, with a rather nice cartoon accompaniment (though I’m not quite sure the creator of it has quite got the meaning of the lyrics around 2:05 to 2:15)
A not very good professional cover by the Proclaimers:
… and one of many, many weird and wonderful amateur versions.

By tim, on April 25th, 2010 at 9:28 pm Other than the surge in support the Liberal Democrats received in the polls after the first leaders debate, one of the things that’s most striking about the general election this time around is the sheer creativity that’s been expressed in blogs, twitter and YouTube by “unofficial” sources. Not that long ago, probably the most creative campaigning you saw was John Cleese making party political broadcasts on behalf of the SDP-Liberal Alliance (we must have had longer attention spans in the 80′s – it’s 10 minutes long!) If you want to relive 1987, the video is below:

By tim, on April 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm This morning, I’ve had a quick look through the statistics that are provided by 123-reg, the company I’ve used to host my blog since October of last year. One of the reasons I moved from a free wordpress.com blog to a self-hosted wordpress.org environment was to be able to have a little more control over what I could do. One benefit of self hosting is the improved statistical information you can gather.
For example, I now know that I get more visits to the site from people using Internet Explorer than Firefox (3,642 vs 2,908 since last October), but that . . . → Read More: There are more questions than answers
