Although I have become accustomed to disappointment with my final year at university, graduation arrangements have proved the final straw. Traditionally held in Swansea’s Brangwyn Hall, the graduation is supposed to be the highlight of our university lives. My parents both graduated from Swansea University (or University College, Swansea as it was back then) in [...]

After 4 years of lectures, coursework, projects, dissertations and exams, its finally time for me to enter the real world. My time at Swansea University has come to an end. Just over a week ago I was given the result of all this hard work – a Master of Engineering in Computing with Upper Second [...]

The last time I posted a proper update on this blog it was June. Since that’s quite a long time I thought I’d post a little bit about what I’ve been up to since then before resuming some sense of normality. So, here is a quick – and completely uninteresting – update: July – Attended [...]

Its my last few days in Swansea. Dad is coming up tonight and tomorrow to take all my stuff home. I’m then spending Friday morning cleaning the flat and hand the keys back to the accommodation office. This year seems to have gone quicker than the last two, but its also been the busiest. It [...]

Degree results were issued today for all of the Computer Science 3rd years, with one important exception – the MEng students like me. Took the receptionist ages to work out why my envelope was missing from the pile – it turns out that we don’t get our results until after 12th July. Damn, wanted to [...]

I only have one exam to go before I finish for the summer. Exams so far have gone pretty well (at least I hope so!). This last one – Generic Programming & Design Patterns should be over by 4pm tomorrow. After that, I expect a visit to the pub will be necessary. Got a very [...]
Website Accessibility Part 2

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
