As I finished another OU assignment yesterday, I only have two more assignments and two more exams until I’ve finished my OU degree.

As I’ve been doing a lot of python programming recently it’s been wierd trying to get back into Java programming for the assignments. Using Netbeans does make the transisition a little easier as it always reminds me when I’ve left out a semi-colon here and a “}” there.

I had to get an extension for this assignment because of the exam revision for M366 taking up a lot of time, however it’s finished now and I can concentrate on finishing off the two remaining courses.

I’ve just go back from taking my final exam for M366 Artificial intelligence. It was a tough exam but I think I’ve done ok.

Just two courses left before my final final exams in September and then I’ve completed the honours degree!

I think I’ll go watch Italy and France play football and relax now…

Went to Spain for the weekend and stayed in Malaga.

This holiday was the first time I’ve driven on the ‘wrong’ side of the road and it was interesting watching the other drivers on the road as they double parked, triple parked, parked in the middle of the road, and talked to each other while driving, without helmets, scooters at speeds passing 40km/h!

I recently upgraded my phone and decided I needed to create a new background for it.

I settled upon a 3D version of my blackcougar avatar which I use on some of my forum accounts.

The screen size is 240×320 and the background is below:

I’ve been mucking around with this piece for a while now and managed to get a semi-decent recording over the weekend.

It’s completely from memory and by ear but it’s still recognisable as the theme from Braveheart - “For the Love of a Princess”

All it needs is some bagpipes in the background…
