It snowed last night.

Hello, Since my last blog, I have a new tablet PC (no keyboard or mouse, just pen and screen). but only to borrow. I have been bribed by Microsoft, along with another 50 students in the UK to sing about the benefits of Microsoft to my fellow students. This is all part of the award I received for Most Valued Student, Student Academic Alliance, or what ever the name is this week. It is working, and I am now singing to my hearts content, and I am genuinely a big fan of C#, .net, webservices etc. etc. They pay have just given me a Tablet to say that, but, it really is so easy to program things using these tools. for the first time ever I feel that I am acually able to produce some decent software. It may not be rocket science, but does it have to be? if the software does what you want it to do then does it matter that most of the technical stuff is hidden from you? I think this will make programming available to the masses, well if I can do it it already is...

My FYP (final year project) is going very well. If I connect my tablet to my laptop with wireless network, then I can remote control it. still a few hiccups to sort out first though.

everything going well, applied for Masters, looking for scholarships, highly motivated to finish project.

Planning a trip to Iran/middleEast/Pakistan in Summer.

See you soon,

John
