Exam Time Tables 2005

So peeps, exam timetables are up at the Arts Centre. Looks like our Education Officer and Deputy President Kamiar Mohaddes plan worked! Apparently thousands of us sent complaint e-mails to the Administration Office and they were furious enough to post them without telling anyone…

Still, there was a crowd outside the Arts Centre when I went to see when my exam will be. Six exams: first one May 16th, last one June 4th. 4 weeks of revision for my hardest module. Why can't I motivate myself until the wall I'll run into head-first is clearly visible? Vacation was such a waste of time yet again…

It's not like it had not been crunch time since lectures finished last term, but it undeniably is now…nevertheless: don't panic!

WordPress 1.5

Writing about web page http://www.sdpacheco.de

With a new version of WordPress, the blog engine I have used for a while now, comes an re-design of my site. I'll surely continue making minor changes, but for now I'm putting this baby on the air :)

I hope you like the new look and feel. Thanks to Ioannis for his thoughts.

The latest WordPress version impresses all around. The new pages feature, essentially posts outside the blog chronology, along with a few plug-ins, allows me, to run my entire website off WordPress – still with the exception of my photo galleries.

The new theme system, while being rather spophisticated in it's own right, has made adapting my old design a bit of a pain, and I have ended up modifying the default theme, which is based on Kubrick.

The WordPress Wiki has also received a major upgrade and has helped me a great deal with getting to grips with the new features and changes.

Slaves on E–Bay

Writing about web page http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=slave

Now how about that? I fear we are already trusting our automatic systems far too much. At this point still a hearty good laugh though!

Also, search for day trips warwickshire at the moment yields as first result BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire Features - Day out in Coventry. Go figure.

On that note, does anyone have any suggestions for a pleasant day trip in Warwickshire? We will have access to a car and everything. Stratford, Warwick Castle, Kenilworth Castle are too obvious…
