Got a replacement still camera and also a replacement video camera in the last few weeks. The still camera is kinda funky but i doubt ill ever use it. The video camera is a spny DCR-TRV18E, and its kickarse, its a bit smaller and lighter then my old DCR-TRV17E and the new one come with an 8meg memory stick which means i can jam about 70 still pictures on it. All i have to do know is wait for my replacement laptop and i can start playing around with it again.
SimCity is going good, my population is around 5700 people. Ive just expanded to anotehr region which has slowed things down a bit, but i figure it will pick up again.
I got asked if i wanted to lecture Programming A next term, its basically a first year programming subject, learning C++. I figure ill give it a bash and se how it goes, it cant be that bad. Plus the money is good :)
Im flat out at the moment moerating and marking assignments, its getting ehar the end of spring/summer term and exam are just around the corner. Ive got a fair bit of exam marking to do as well which should be ok. One of the subjects is pretty simple so it shouldnt take long. Its all good, making my bank account healthy again.
Also got asked if i would develop a database for the internation centre here at uni. Some simple contacts type database they want to replce the current access/excel spreadsheets they have scattered everywhere. I was thinking about it and i reckon i might make it web based. Would make it a lot easier for them to use, and making a web based database look pretty is sooo much easier then trying to make an access database look good. Plus the experience would be good, i like doing database driven web pages. yay!
right, time to go and finish the next lot of marking and moderating, i think ill go to the beach and do it.
