Changed Award
I’ve switched awards. I’m no longer doing Games Programming, I have switched on Computing Science. My main reasons for this were that I didn’t want to do any of the games modules next year and I wanted some a little more open.
This has given me much more freedom for my final year project. I have a few ideas but I worry that they might be a little ambitious. Maybe I need to scale the design down a little. The problem I am having is that 2 years of games programming has really only left me with knowledge in general programming, graphics and AI. I haven’t really done any other topics in any detail. This doesn’t leave me with much of a starting point.
No longer stranded
I’m back in Germany now. I managed to get a flight back here on Thursday after the airspace reopened Wednesday. That means I was back at work on Friday. 1 day weeks are awesome. We should have them more often.
The flight was quite uneventful and we couldn’t see any ash they kept talking about. At least the engines didn’t cut out and we didn’t fall out of the sky. That’s always a plus.
Stranded
I’ve been at home in England for the last couple of weeks. I was supposed to be flying back tonight but given the volcanic ash cloud that has covered Europe; my flight has been cancelled. I suppose I’ll have to take a couple of extra days of work next week but with no signs of the volcano stopping it could be far longer.
I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. There isn’t a lot you can do about a volcano erupting.
