Well, yet again this month has disappeared unbelievably quickly. I’m sure only the other day I was writing a review of last month. Oh well, I suppose that’s just the way things go. In what I am aiming to be a new tradition, I have decided that at the end of every month to write [...]

The Whyley BBQ
May 30th, 2006 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
Well today I received an interesting email from Chris Whyley (one of the department lecturers). It appears I’ve been invited to the annual Whyley BBQ. Traditionally held on graduation weekend, it used to be a celebration for ex-undergraduates, postgrads and lecturers. A few years ago however, it was opened up to a select number of [...]
83 Brynymor Road
May 28th, 2006 by Dafydd Vaughan. 1 Comment.
After the best part of a year with bad heating, annoying landlords, slow ovens, lecturer’s strikes, builders causing havoc, and missing flatmates, it is nearly time to say goodbye to 83 Brynymor Road. In just over a month we will be officially finishing our second year at Swansea and leaving the flat above the shop. [...]
The Da Vinci Code

Last night I went to see the Da Vinci code. Gareth, James, Ian, Helen, Sarah and I all headed down to Odeon for their 00:01 showing. The cinema was not as packed as I expected, however that could be because it is middle of the exam period. When we went to see Star Wars this time last year, [...]
AUT Update and Dan’s Birthday
May 16th, 2006 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
After my last blog post (here), I thought it was time to post an update on the ongoing lecturer’s strike saga. Over the past few days the situation has pretty much reached terminal decline. To put it more accurately, the **** has hit the fan! Everyone involved had hoped that last Monday (8th May) would [...]
AUT Industrial Action
May 12th, 2006 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
A few days ago I wrote a blog post about the ongoing industrial action that is threatening to screw up our university exams; however I never actually got around to submitting it. Since I wrote it, there have been a number of developments, so instead of posting an out of date entry, I’ve decided to [...]
screwed up internet
May 8th, 2006 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
Incase anyone is wondering why i’m not online today, it seems that PlusNet our crappy broadband suppliers are causing us havoc. We’re being disconnected for 2 hours so they can see what the problem is. Back around 9ish (hopefully)!
Too much work
May 4th, 2006 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
Well, I’ve got loads of work to do and I’m fast running out of time. I’ve spent the last day and a half writing a report on UML (Unified Modelling Language). So far, its nowhere near the lower word limit. I’ll most probably post another update later today, if i ever get this report finished.
Group Project
May 1st, 2006 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
Another busy day today. Spent the morning working on documentation for my group project. Had a meeting with the group this afternoon for a few hours to finalise details and get some of the work done. We are almost there now, pretty much just the rest of the documentation to do. Should be able to [...]
