08101 Battleships Tutorial Podcast

Another day of stuck at home. Not that I’ve spent all my time here. I also managed to find time to walk through a snowstorm and then queue for 45 minutes in the Post Office. What joy.

Anyhoo, since it is looking unlikely that I’ll be able to make my tutorial tomorrow I’ve recorded another podcast for those on the 08101 module who are just getting started with the coding.

I’ll have another one tomorrow for the next stage.

Lecturing from Home

Coming to a Christmas Card near you soon….

Snow on a Snowman. How original.

Did my Software Engineering lecture after all (but not at 12:15). I’ve recorded it as a screencast.  If you are on the 08220 module and want to take a look you can find it here.

University Closed

Hull city centre. One of the many places I can’t get to today.

The university is closed today. Never known this before in all my years working at the place. We’ve closed early on occasion so that people can get home before the worst of the weather, but even in the floods a few years back the Hull campus stayed open.

But today it is shut. I was all togged up for a brisk walk in the snow to the office but the message came on the radio that there was no point.

My 12:15 lecture (which was going to be all about the magic of creating control behaviours in software) is now postponed and will now take place next week.

Weather permitting.

Cold Weather Blues

The weather today is so cold it seems to be making my mouse move slowly.

Winter Prep

This should keep us going for a while.
