My USA Roadtrip 2014 Part 1

In the summer of 2013 my friend Danny Brown and I started to think about going on an epic road trip around the west coast of California. A year later we took our 4 week trip and visited Flagstaff in Arizona, Las Vegas in Nevada, and Los Angeles and San Francisco in California (among other stops). The trip was originally our friend Russell’s idea, as he wanted to see the group Nine Inch Nails play at the Hollywood Bowl. Unfortunately he couldn’t come with us, but by coincidence, we were still in LA when the show took place. In this blog post, I’m going to try and account some of the things we did and saw. MORE

Graduation and the end of an era

Yep. I am now a graduate of the University of Hull with a 1st class BSc (hons) degree in Computer Science. Graduation was on the 14th of July, and it was a fantastic day. As well as a lovely ceremony we had lunch in the department and I found out I’d won the ‘G B Cook Prize in Computing’ for the ‘Best Project in the Honours Stage’. This is referring to PascalDE, which I received a mark of 90% for. Extremely happy about that, and I had no idea I had won an award. MORE
