Two days ago I watched the LOST finale, the final episode of a show been watching religious for the 5 years, through all 6 seasons. What an ending. I've had a while know to think about the show and let the emotion subside, so I'd thought I'd document my thoughts.

Radio silence once again due to University work and job commitments, hopefully I'll be able to post a new pieces of work to the portfolio once they go live. Good news on the academic side: my Maya project got 78% overall, so a nice 1st for the module! One more exam to go on Software Engineering and thats me for the year.

Been a busy few weeks at the University of Kent, wrapping up my Maya project and finishing off a rather successful rugby season. But most importantly the time has come to start planning my final year project!

Once again it's been a long time since the last update, but to frank I haven't have that much to write about as of yet. I'm halfway through my second year at the University of Kent, which is going swimmingly so far, and I've been spending some of my time working to the web team here on a couple of projects.

Plenty of sketches on a new design, problem is I'm saving them for the ...

One my favourite sci-fi authors, Arthur C. Clarke, died this week at the age of 90. The visionary behind classic stories like 2001: A Space Odyssey and City and The Stars (which also happens to have been my read of the India trip) , he is an outright leg-end. Long may his tales endure. The title of this post is one of his three 'laws'. Wiki it, foo!

I have arrived home (last week to be accurate) safe and sound. India was pretty phenomenal, definitely somewhere I'll go again one day not too far down the line. Back at work now, straight into solid coding, which seems quite distant to be now. More coming up for RR. Also, thanks to Peter for the badge.
