2 weeks gone and i’m still running around at 200mph. In summary, I have:
1. Handed in my completed dissertation
2. Presented my findings in a presentation
3. Presented to the BBC on a bluetooth network
4. Received results back from my assignments – averaging 74% to date
5. Continued to work 20 hours a week and…
6. Deploy a CS:S Server along with Psychostats server and plugins.

All this occured alongside the deployment of my server and file server into Windows Server 2008 – I am now using active directory based authentication for my file shares which is nice and simples – i will miss Linux however – IIS is hard.

I installed CS:Source dedicated server which was simple, but tying Psychostats into it took me and matt around 4 hours to get working due to problems with PERL, Apache, SQL, etc not very simple to do (Be Warned!).
A lot of PHP editing and .ini config editing and we now have a 32 man CS:S server running Man Admin Plugin, DeathMatch and SourceMod plugins meaning we get lots of playing in beetween revision woop.

Aside from CS:Source i’ve began revision for my 2 exams (MPLS, QoS, BGP4 to give a brief overview of the fun ahead!).
Wish me luck.
Sam.

Well i am now truly in the mire in terms of university and just general work – 7 deadlines in the space of 3 weeks means that i am currently working my backside off with isnt fun – thankfully i have rather a lot of backside TO work off

Having completed my thesis into virtualization, i have since turned my attention to the other “less interesting” aspects of the project, having to present my findings in a very stupid way (A1 board for some reason?) amongst other things.

Seperate from university, i visited Fran for her birthday – gave her the presents which she seemed to like and we went out on the Friday which wasnt the best night out ive had to say the least lol It left us feeling rather rough the next day, so we had a cheeky nandos before heading home for ice cream and unfortunately, Sex and the city in bed (damn..).

Now i’m back to the grind for another 3 weeks, then my academia career is over (praise [insert god]!).
