5 days.......

hello all,

we're in normal IT today after a long week that's just gone. So i think i'll sumarise the last week. On Wednesday through to Friday we were on our year 12 'retreat' or camp and so we couldn't use a computer for 3 whole days!!!! i felt so uninformed of all the IT happenings on the internet, my google reader was up to 200 unread items... however retreat was good, we had lots of fun... although we didn't really do anything, but it was nice to spend time with friends except from at every meeting they said "this is the beginning of the end for you all" as if we hadn't realised, its really annoying because i don't want to be constantly reminded that school is almost over. We really didn't get much sleep as well and on saturday it was chris's 18th and so we got even less sleep and you should all wish chris happy birthday......

i have to start a new paragraph because earlier chris was complaining that my blogs are too hard to read because they're all one big chunk of writing and that i need to split it up more, so this is for you chris...










and then on sunday a (3/4 (me the responsible driver)) hung-over team cruwyzilla all went into school to code our robots for robocup, they've completely changed the board this year which is REALLY annoying, because it means we can't just use the same code as last year, they're making us actually do work.... damn robocup officials. so we had to spend all sunday writing our code and we still haven't finished although we do have a pretty sweet goalie.

anyway back to this lesson, we have our orals this week and cruwys being his sad self decided to create a program that randomly selects a student to do their oral, he decided he was WAY to cool for a plain old hat. so he built this pretty cool project but it wasn't up to my standards and so i've been beefing it up lots; like it now reads the list of names from a text file and then saves who has already been chosen once you close the program, and to kind of select random people whilst "deciding" (even though it already has) so that it builds suspense, it's pretty cool. and chris is looking on, which is kinda stupid considering our orals are due TODAY, and he hasn't even started... poor chris, i hope he gets chosen first.... maybe i'll rig the program??? anyway i'd better be going, i have to polish my program and i'll see if i can upload .exe's onto here... if i can then i'll put it up

have a good one

Petey
