little—bird: straightupyess: Fixed it. i know at least couple people who will agree with this fix :)   Agreed. The person who produced the original graphic is an idiot. I’m quite the fan of video games, paper role playing games and TCGs like many other computer science students I know. It’s thanks to the people in our industry that give the creator the software to produce this graphic, the hardware to produce it on, the protocols to transmit the image file and the web site to upload and share the image on; yet somehow they wanted to criticise many of these intelligent and innovative computer scientists for their choice of past-times and then state that we need to do something useful with our free time? Talk about ignorance.

My fellow Tumblr friends, please welcome shinaku.

So glad to see this guy finally on Tumblr. He’s the first real friend I made back when I was in college and we’ve stuck together since. We both happen to take the same course (Computer Science) at the same university (University of Hull) and used to share a house together back in 2008/09 and come September this will once again be the case.

He’s a techie like myself who dedicates much of his spare time to programming yet somehow he remains much cooler than me so please give him a warm welcome and expect to see several reblogs of his content from me.

You know, ‘cause I’m nice like that.

Valentine’s Day 2010 didn’t work out so great for me So I’ve pulled an all-nighter tonight for today’s hand-in for the compiler coursework I unfortunately missed last semester which left me in complete shambles with regards to my knowledge of the subject after the multiple incidents and surgery on my lung back in October and I’ve been off track ever since. Thankfully, I had all the paperwork submitted for making a claim for mitigating circumstances for the compiler coursework. However with little to no understanding of the subject and only a delayed deadline for the submission I’ve struggled alone throughout the assignment until judgement day came. Sadly, that day is today as the hand-in time is in less than next two hours. I have unfortunately been unsuccessful in completing the assignment as this behemoth got the better of me. From there on it’s up to my lecturer to assess and provide a reasonable mark for the work produced before discussing my so-called ‘case’ to the mitigating circumstances board at 1pm where they will ultimately decide whether or not a mark boost is to be rewarded given my situation. If all goes well, I barely pass the module and I can finally put all of this behind me. In the other hand, if my coursework is not up to the minimum 40% requirement along with the exam I sat in mid January I ultimately fail the module and therefore lose my honours for my degree. Either that or I choose to resit; the latter being the obvious choice I will make at a cost of dedicating the second half of August to revision and hard work in preparation for the summer resits. Sorry to all my followers for the lack of posts recently along with the rather negative attitude within them. Whatever the outcome of today becomes, I plan to place this incident behind me and concentrate on my final year project and second semester in what is my final year before earning the title of BSc in Computer Science. I also plan to get back into the routine of casually posting and making Tumblr what I usually consider to be a hugely positive part of my life. Hope all you guys had an enjoyable Sunday and look forward to getting back into doing the whole social thing on this site again. Much love my dear followers, Tom Lawrence.
