    Cheers.

    The degree is BSc Applied Data Science, and the two modules I finished before Christmas (and submitted assignments for) were Principles of Programming and Data Communication. In principle they should be piss easy for a Senior Data Engineer, but the assignments were a total ballache.

    On to Introduction to Data Science and Mathematics for Computing next week - joy! :lol:

    Good luck with it!

    That was definitely the module I was most comfortable with, and I found that assignment the easiest to do.

    The most challenging part is that I find it really difficult to set realistic goals. I treated both assignments as if they were real pieces of work I'd be expected to do in my job, and that was way more than what's required for year 1 of an undergraduate degree!

    Didn't exactly help my cause by deciding early on to use LaTeX to do written assignments. I'm glad I did that, it's something I've been interested in learning for a while, but it definitely added extra unnecessary pressure!

    lol, touch.

    Just before Christmas I got angry that talktalk were suddenly charging mum £64 a month for what she was paying £44 for before. Usually they call, get you in another contract, but offer the same or better price. None of that, greedy buggers. So I thought sod it. She was too worried about everything going on, but I was getting annoyed. So I switched her over to Plusnet. No TV package, so it's less than £40 a month. With the deal we were going to get a pre paid master card for £50 or something. Sweet, I will nick that :D

    Then it arrived and of course, dullard here didn't realise it would have her name on. Bugger ! rumbled :D I had to fess up. I said I was going to take it because of all of the BS switching, setting up ETC. She told me to F off. Rightly so I suppose :D

    Any way the next day she must have had a think and said go ahead and have it. Sweet !! Finally got around to activating it today. Was a total pain in the balls. I suppose they hope you won't bother. Any way, finally after about 5 tries it activated. Check balance.... £100.

    :D

    Straight on Amazon, four more 8gb DDR4 sticks (this time 3200) for £100 exactly :D

    To the server you must go !

    Been approved for a Credit Card what for 0% switching balance purposes.
    Not such a great thing, but my credit has always been questionable so I never gave applying any mind in the past, but at 48 I reckoned it was worth a punt.

    Flip side of the coin, they've given me a rather healthy credit limit, which will be a bugger not to blow on coke n whores.

    Ask away. :hehe:

    I work in fashion retail so I'm basically surrounded by horny 20-year-old uni girls in leggings all day.

    Also I'm way better talking to and charming girls now than when I was 20, so... these are the benefits?

    Job has its perky. I mean perks!

    TBF I'm kinda in charge and I don't discourage this behaviour.

    It's not the role, but who is in the role. Become one with the horny, and the twerk will come. - Bruce Lee, 1967

    Bit of a sweet and sour morning. Rejection email for a treasury job with DPD, which would have been a good whack of cash and just 2 train stations down the line. Said my "recent" experience didn't match :rollingeyes:. But then call from a recruiter that I've got an interview for somewhere else, town centre, maybe a more variable and interesting job for a biomass technology company.
