St Joe's gig: Playing in the mall this sat

St Joe's is playing in the Brisbane st. mall this Saturday 5th Nov 10am-12pm. Come and get a preview of what's coming up next week at our 160th Anniversary Concert at the Princess Theatre. :D

St Joe's CD coming soon!

Some time ago we recorded our best charts for a CD celebrating St Joe's Big Band's 160th anniversary. We've been planning to produce a CD for ages and have finally got around to it. Stu did all the design work, and I spent most of sunday offering advice while we finished it all off! So, the designs are now at the printers', and the CDs will be available soon, at the low, low price of just $20 (from memory - don't quote me on that). :D

Oddsox gig: Mayfield Primary

Oddsox is playing at a Family Funday at Mayfield Primary School on the oval from 11am - tomorrow!! (That's Sat 29th Oct 2005)

Come check it out! :)

Update 31/10/2005:
The gig was great! Read about it over at the Oddsox Official Website!

Project: Last Client Meeting - check!

At long last, we've finally met with our client today for the very last client meeting (about 3 weeks later than we were supposed to). We handed over the Installation CD with all our hard work on it, and gave a brief demonstration of the software, again. :) A bit depressing really, to see just how little space our year's worth of work takes up on a CD. :S

Anyway, we're planning now to travel down to hobart after exams to assist with the actual installation of the software on their servers at Wrest Point. This will be paid work for one or two team members. So who are the lucky team member(s)? We shall need to 'discuss' this in due course. ;)

Stay tuned.

One More Exam

So now Paradigms and Mobile are out of the way, I have over a week before the last one, which is Computer Security - but I'm not thinking about that just yet. ;)

One down, Two to go

I got my Programming Paradigms exam out of the way this morning. Of the 15-odd people originally enrolled in paradigms (in launceston), only about a third of that actually made it to the exam! It actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting... I think Mark made the exam easier than in past years, seeing as how he's just taken over the unit this semester.

Anyhoo, next up is Mobile and Ubiq, which is a mere 1.5 days away. So, back to the books... erm... computer... then. ;)

So much for B.Comp!

This arvo I finally submitted my last assignment (the second Haskell assignment using Hugs for Programming Paradigms). Actually I didn't finish it completely, but I preferred to hand it in slightly unfinished rather than lose marks for it being late! This assignment marks the end of all classes and assignments for my entire Bachelor of Computing Degree. :O ok, so there's the small matter of exams, starting next week, but other than that, I'm done!! I don't think this is gonna sink in for a while... Of course, I'm planning to go back and do Honours next year anyway, so it's not like I'm really finished. Just with undergraduate studies. :)

Just keeping all you readers out there up to date. ;)

My Graphics Assignment

Seeing everyone finishing their graphics assignments (especially Humphrey's) has prompted me to upload mine for all to see! I did Computer Graphics and Animation last year, which is obviously before I had a blog...

I should mention that I am not the copyright holder of the music in my animation, nor do I have permission to use the character portrayed in it, but I'm not profiting from this, and I'd really like people to see it, and it's just not the same without the music, and it's not even the full track, and it's really bad quality anyway... Soooo, if u like the music, go buy the cd! ;) The music is acknowledged within the animation.

...and come to the Graphics Movie Show!!

Upcoming: St Joe's Concert @ The Princess

Upcoming event alert: I will be playing with St Joe's Big Band in concert at the Princess Theatre on Sat 12 Nov.

This will be the first time, at least since I've been in the band (which is about 2 years), that we've done a concert which is just us as a band. Usually we play to provide music for some other event. I'm particularly excited because it'll also be the first time I've played with St Joe's using a decent grand piano - I'm often stuck with a dodgy keyboard. :S Oh, and our CD should be available by then too, so you can even pick that up on your way out. :)

So yeah, proceed immediately to the Princess Theatre and purchase tickets!!
See you all there. :D

Update: You can now take a look at the concert program.

Upcoming: Graphics Movie Show

The Computer Graphics and Animation Movie Show is this friday (in Launceston) - come along and check out the awesome 3d animations students have made this semester, including Humphrey's much touted animation!!

The annual Computer Graphics and Animation movie show will be held this Friday, October 14, at 10:00am in the Centenary Lecture Theatre (Hobart) and at 3:00pm in the LT6 (Launceston). Please come along to see the results of the hard work of the students enrolled in KXA354.

Project: Demo Day: The Aftermath

This is being posted a little later than I was hoping, but I've been somewhat busy with assignments and things! Having just submitted the second Computer Security assignment (a whole 30mins before it was due!) I thought I'd take a break from assignments and finally post about demo day, even though it feels like it was months ago!

Demo day was very successful! We had no technical issues to speak of, and demonstrated to lots of people who came through. We were pretty happy with our marks for it too. Nicole (the lecturer) commented that "[Launceston's] marketing this year was the best I have ever seen... and some teams were some of the best I have ever seen anywhere." So yeah, it was a great day! :)

Thanks to everyone who came along!

...so now I just have some documentation and a Haskell assignment, and then that's it! Degree over!! (...other than those little unimportant thing known as exams :S )
