Its exam time again, but for the first time ever they are quite nicely spaced out. Had my first exam already, and got three more to go. There have been some very nice topics this term so hopefully I’ll do fairly well in these. Despite them being interesting topics, revision is boring and I really [...]

Urgh, Conservatives
May 4th, 2007 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
Damn. Conservatives won by miles in the Welsh Assembly Election for my area. It wasn’t a case of re-election as the person who had the seat before has vacated it and taken up a seat in Westminster instead. The guy who won is an idiot. Results: – Candidate Votes % % +/- Con Nick Ramsay [...]
Website Accessibility Part 2
May 3rd, 2007 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
Some of you might remember that I posted an entry back in March about website accessibility and a motion I was raising in the Student General Meeting (SGM) at university. Essentially, the motion was designed to push the Students’ Union and the university to improve the accessibility of their various websites. The first attempt at [...]
21 pages down, 80ish to go
April 26th, 2007 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
As the title suggests, I’ve written the first 21 pages of my dissertation. Got quite a bit of editing to do on it, but for now it’ll do. Just 80 odd more to go. These next few weeks are going to be mad.
Where has the time gone?

A month has passed and I really have no idea where it has gone. I had all sorts of stuff to get done this “holiday†but haven’t really got any of it sorted. I spent a few weeks down in Plymouth with Charlie, helping* her run the family business while her dad was in hospital. [...]

Well, unfortunately the Student General Meeting that I talked about in my last blog entry was cancelled at the last minute which means my website accessibility motion didn’t get heard. However, it will be making an appearance at the next SGM which will be happening in the first week of term – giving me more [...]
Website Accessibility Motion
March 21st, 2007 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
Website Accessibility is a big topic in Web Design at the moment, but what exactly does it mean? Well, it’s about making sure a website can be seen and used by as many people as possible. The main emphasis is on making sure that people with sight problems or problems using a mouse can still [...]
Vote 07: Finally Over
March 17th, 2007 by Dafydd Vaughan. No Comments.
Well, what a night it was. The final result, expected at around 2am didn’t actually arrive till just before 6. We were aiming to be curled up in bed by about 3:30, but didn’t get in till 10. The evening started in controversy as certain (as yet unexplained) issues arose regarding the people counting the [...]
