Home for Christmas

I'm back in the UK for Christmas, Cold, Damp and Foggy, just how Christmas should be IMHO. Lots to do before the day, so I doubt I will be blogging much.

I also have got the results of my two OU exams, as well as the overall course results.

For M255 (Object Oriented Programming with Java) I got 88% in the exam, with my overall coursework mark of 99% gives me a Distinction.

For MT262 (Putting Computer Systems to Work) I got 95%, with my overall coursework mark of 97% also gives me a Distinction.

Oddly before I started the courses I would have said I knew Java better, but perhaps that was a hindrance considering that I achieved a much better score in the C++ exam (MT262) than the Java (M255). It's surely a testament to the OU teaching material anyway.

Back from Rhodes

Bought a tripod before leaving so I could try my hand at Panoramic Photographs.

Check them out.

No service until 28th September

I am about to leave the UK for the sunny shores of Rhodes. While I am away, expect no posts, no comments moderated, and no replies to email. I am on HOLIDAY so I will not be checking my mail.

Exams are coming

I've just submitted my final piece of coursework for my Studies with OU in 2006. I am anticipating a very high overall score for the coursework in both courses, however I must still achieve 85% in the exam to achieve the Distinction grade I am aiming for. I managed it last year with T224 but this year I have two exams and both are very technical, requiring a lot of study.

I have a few things I'd like to complete for the various projects in Nigeria while I am home, and also I am off to Rhodes next week for a short vacation. On top of that I need to find time to go and reapply for my Nigerian visa in London, and visit friends and family.

Then if I have time there's the usual household maintenance that normally occupies me here. I can see a gate that needs creosote and a lawn that needs some TLC from my window right now...
