Today has been productive

Posted on by

Don’t be fooled into believe that I love to tell you all what I’m doing every second of the day, I’m actually only here because World Of Warcraft is doing for maintenance. Why do they take off every realm at the same time? I thought I’d play my dwarf (PVP server) whilst my main is down, but that goes down too. Sucks. So now I’m here.

I still have the problems with graphics on both WoW and GW, with no idea what the problem is. I’ve updated drivers and everything. WoW support have told me to do a memory test, which could take hours so I might do it for when I got to bed. A small part of me wants the memory test to find an error, so I can get it fixed. But at the same time, I don’t want Toshiba to take him again…

I’ve actually done a lot of revision today. That makes me even less nervous. I was shocked to see that my first exam is Friday though… it’s a computing resit. I haven’t actually looked at it at all, to be honest… Tomorrow I shall though, and make sure that I understand all the terms in the specification. As all exams, you only need to learn what they want you to learn, even if it’s not relavant.

What else have I done today… Oh, I’ve started reading a C++ book, which my computing teacher lent me. It’s… huge. I got bored at first, where it’s teaching about variable types and stuff, which I already know. I’m reading it though, since I may miss something C++ specific that’ll confuse me later on in the book.

I suppose I’ll go to sleep now. Wake me up at 1100, when the server is back up.

Unfinished business…

I can’t believe it was only 0130 before I had a brain melt and couldn’t do any more coursework. I’m gonna have to get up tomorrow, head to college, skip tutorial and do coursework. All. Fracking. Day. I’m not kidding. On pain of death Shamess, you will do it.

To be fair, I don’t have much to do for business. I need add a feature to my computing stuff though… That may take an hour or two.

Just think about it; after tomorrow, you’ll have nothing to worry about but exams.

Why noone gets any work done on these computers

I’m using a college computer, since Niimo is busy with his being fixed and all. These computers are terrible. Really, they’re horrible.

I’m having to adjust to using a mouse again. Once you’ve had the precision of using a tracer pad for a year or so, then you’re given a mouse which doesn’t seem to be able to move in increments of a pixel (it prefers to move in ten pixel chunks), it’s really annoying.

It’s not just that which is annoying. The computer just doesn’t fracking work.

They’ve disabled right click. Who disables right click? I managed to get at my flash drive, and it’s installed start.exe, which I’m sure is a lovely programme. And I can’t install the 2007 patch for Word, so I can do zero work.

Oh right, I could convert it online. But I wouldn’t be able to download the converted file. Joy.

(I’ll fix this post when I get to a computer that works.)

Exams I’m taking

As a token of how unorganised I am, I wanted to make a post saying what exams I’m taking.

May

In May, I should be (at least, I think I am) retaking computing, unit 2 (CPT2) and law, unit 2 (LAW2). Both of these are AS resits because I failed them last year, which is always fun.

June

A2 exams I’m taking in June are law, unit 6 (LAW6) and unit 4 (LAW4), computing, units 4 (CPT4) and 5 (CPT5), and business studies, unit 11 (BUS11).

I’m resitting law, unit 5 (LAW5).

Jolly good, only seven eight exams. Plus three sets of coursework. Before July. Joy.

A2 Law, Unit 5.

Question 3 of the January 2004 paper.

(a) Consider what rights and remedies the owners of the cottages, including Irene, may have in connection with the noise and other problems caused by the leisure activities and the oil spillage.

The cottage owners and Irene would have rights in the law concerning nuisance. There are three elements that need to be proven before a the cottage owners could successfully claim against Highlife Sports within the law for private nuisance.
