Wow! I’ve added a Gaming category to my blog!! How times change and i think my tagline is getting more apt by the day…

(more…)

Finally made the changes to the blog that I meant to do at the very beginning. Now my webpress blog looks a bit more like my original dudelet blog. Maybe one day I’ll do something more daring than changing the tagline and the link and header colours.

On other updates, I have finished my fourth year project. The Dynamic Graphing System is called LDG (Lauren’s Dynamic Graphing System) because it was the placeholder name used in the report, and I never got round to changing it.

I have been offered some summer work at the University, depending on funding, to try and fix the (minor) bugs in LDG so it can be released for research purposes, maybe I’ll change the name to something more interesting then.

Apart from that I have no other firm updates to make, apart from the fact that you can tell it is now officially exam time, as the sun is shining in Glasgow - bloody typical!!

My fourth year project is a Dynamic Graphing System written in Java. It allows users to create network graphs for a given time period and show how that graph changes over a period of time.

At the moment I am calling Lauren’s Dynamic Graphing System, but I really need a good name, a well worded acronym would be cool but I just can’t come up with anything.

So if you’ve got any good ideas they would be very much appreciated, in comments please.

Hey folks

Happy New Year! I had a fairly good holiday spending a week and a half in Dumfries, which was great, got to catch up with friends, go out to the infamous Jumpin’ Jaks and spend my New Years Eve the same way i have for the past 4 years (God is it really that long??) in my local pub. Fantastic.

Anyway the real reason for this post is to come up with some interesting new things for Compsoc todo. Recently we’ve been getting a little stick for not having different types of events, especially ones that don’t involve alcohol (?!). We’ve come up with the basic ideas Bowling, Laser Quest and well thats about it…

We need ideas to get everyone who does computing to get involved, nothing overly geeky, or overly expensive, but any ideas would be much appreciated.

Have fun,

Sometimes I lack a little bit of confidence, it’s always been that way. Over the past few years this has mainly all been directed to my chosen field of Computing.

I once wrote a post called Point Of View.

Quite frankly I am getting sick of some peoples attitude to me. I’m a girl and yes I do Computing Science, why the hell does that seem to suggest to some that I am less intelligent than any of the guys around?
