Databases Boom, done …sya

Never ever have to look at another Database theory book ever ever again…..woohoo.
The exam was a fair one with no tricks. I knew the stuff pretty well and I had passed the paper within the first 15 minutes which is always a good thing. Anyway Cryptography and Digital Signal processing left…. so Back to the grind stone.

2 down 3 to go

Another one bites the dust. Only 3 left now but they are all tough, Advanced Databases, Cryptography and Digital Signal Processing.
But then my furry friends I am on a mad one……yeah!!!!!!

1 down 4 to go

First exam done, Sofware Metrics and OO design. It went well and I hope to get a first in it (fingers crossed). My next one is Multimedia which should be OK, I still have a bit to study on that.

Classic Joke

THE TEACHER COMEBACK OF THE YEAR
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. “Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family but that's it, no other excuses
whatsoever!” A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asks, “What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?” The entire class does its best to stifle their laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles sympathetically at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says, “Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.”

Art Museum problem

I am succumbing to the "art museum problem". This refers to the lack of memory because I am overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information I have recently tried to learn.

? 80

phil Clamp Clamp Clamp. I parked at the corner of Dominick street upper and Upper Dorset Street yesterday (where my mam and I have parkerd many times before). I arrived back 3 hours later to find a big dirty yellow clamp attached to my back wheel, Nasty business to say the least. I had to pay €80 to get it released and it took nearly two hours for that to happen, The bloke who finally released the clamp told us that if we wrote and complained about the time we had to wait we might get our money back so we did. (The reason he said this is that the clamp is supposed to e relased within an hour of payment.)
