Just Another Week

Another week at Cit, and i know that this post is long overdue.

The only problem i have at the moment, is that the assesments & course just seem to be constantly staking up,and i'm finding it really difficult to keep tabs on all that's going on,because different subjects want different things done at different times.

So i'll just say that is the reason for the delay between my last post.

In college this week, a lot of goings-on.

On the academic side, Our web Design group met at all of our timetabled class hours this week& also for a free hour on Tues. & Thurs,trying to arrange an decent layout of each of the pages of our "Hi-Tiles" website design project.
I've been working on the "Special Offers" page on the site,i'm trying to work on the idea of the template,that special offers has more than just tiles,but i'm confined by the fact there's only so much text can be put on one page.

Our Database Project for Hi-Cone, is coming along as well, with my group,we analysed the project with 20 or so questions we wanted answered,the only problem, the comapny responses are some what vague,and can be open to a different interpretation,and some questions they avoided to answer directly. So again that is a working in progress also.

Away from college, all the news over the last few days has been the World Cup playoff game between Ireland & France,and the most obvious handball by Thierry Henry,which he admitted but there is no chance of a replay i think,because Fifa changed the rules for the play-offs, to make sure the bigger countries,like France, made it to the World Cup.
That being said, If Ireland had played like they did on Wednesday, in the other group matches against Italy & Bulgaria,etc. We may not have needed the play-offs, it is a missed oppertuinty but people can't be too dissapointed,we should have looked to win the Croke Park game first, and then see where the cards fell.

The last few days,in fact, the majority of this week has been nothing but constant rain,and last night there was unbelievable flooding in the city,apparently some people were surfing at 5am this morning,no need for the beach!!.
And to top that there was a chip pan fire in my apartment block at around 12am, It was great fun standing out in the cold in November at 12am,in short sleeves, it's a must for any adrenaline junkie !!.

That all the news i have for now, 'til the time...

Time is Moving On

It's already week 9, and things are starting to get very busy,with all these different assignments trying to be before the emd of the semester.

I spent a lot of last weekend trying to figure out to do my database project that must be completed by Dec. 4th. The only difficultly is that there is i think, to much information, for such a short space of time.

Another assignment that we have to do is the Web site project for Web Applications, but i feel a bit more confident of getting that finished, because we started last week, with the site map part so that basically sets out the pages & content we have to do for the next few weeks and design the web pages.

On Sunday night, i watched the Chelsea v Man Utd game on Tv, one real bad challenge was by Jonny Evans on Didier Drogba, Evans caught Drogba right in the chest,with his boot, i thought he should have been sent off,but he was very,very lucky, after that Chelsea scored, and went on to win. That being said, My Dad who's a ManU fan, was not impressed.

Looking forward now, the big game on Saturday, Ireland v France, Hopefully We can get a goal or 2, It would great to knock the French out, Come on Ireland!

So i'll be busy for the next few weeks, with all these assignments, Oh the joys of 3rd Year, i'll be glad to see the back of them.

Bye for now.

A Busy Week

This week is very because, on i've got to submit my Podcasting report for Web Application before Friday.
Also for Web Applications, our group must submit a site map as part of our website design project so that has got to be worked on, and i've got a assesment on friday, for Databses which is going to be very difficult,we have to design a database table from scratch.

So,as you can probably see it's going to be a pretty hectic week for me, and i have to get a real move on with my database case study project for week 12, so time is crucial for the next few weeks.

Just writing this post now, is making me feel tired !

Anyway, bye for now.
