Unfinished business…

Shane — Thu, 01 May 2008 01:01:16 +0000

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.

WordPress Plugin Competition; I have an awesome idea

I’m done with coursework for now. I’ve been doing it for ages. Three hours constitutes as ages, methinks. So, I’ve taking a little break. I’ll start again at ten. I really need to finish both pieces tonight, since it’s weeks after the deadline and the marks have to be sent off Tuesday. I have to hand in both pieces of coursework… tomorrow, really.

Anyway, lets forget about that for a little while, it’s giving me a headache.

There’s a WordPress plugin competition! I was thinking the other day that I really wanted WordPress to do something for me, and I couldn’t find a plugin for it that works well. So, I might as well write it myself and potentially win a prize! The caveat to that though, is that I can’t tell people what my idea is, else they’ll steal it so I’m not even sure if it’s a good idea. Meh, I need it, so if nothing comes of it, at least I’ve gotten what I want. In the process, I’ll be learning new stuff about WordPress so it’s a win-win even if I lose.

The competition opens after my exams, so I won’t be having to mix it with reivision. I might have to mix it with finding a job though… If I win, it’d look awesome on my CV though!

Finding a job is another stress point (though, not too much), so I’m not going to talk about that either just yet.

BUS1: Investigating Business and why I'm doing it wrong

Shane — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 08:45:30 +0000

I’ve done the aims and objectives part of unit 1, which I think is pretty damn good. Problem is, I’ve sort of lost my enthusiasm because I’ve lost what I should be talking about. I have to write stuff down because I find it so easy to tangent, and then I forget what the point is that I’m supposed to be getting across. I think that’s why I get easy marks for identification, but then I get fucked on evaluation and analysis because I just miss the point – not because I don’t know it.

Anyway. I’ve done some external analysis on what’s stopping the aims and objectives from being full filled from within that section. I think I should do an in depth section on it now though. I think my problem last time was that I talked about interest rates, and I talked about them really well, but didn’t mention the aims and objectives which I guess are an integral part of the coursework.

Okay, I know what I’m doing now.
