A brief history of phones

In the past 3 years I’ve had two phone contracts. Up until this week I was happy with my record that I’ve never screwed either of them up. And then a shining example of the human race pinched my nexus 5 out of my hand on Sunday. No I did not have insurance. Students of the Hull variety: I don’t want to dampen anyone’s opinion of Hull (I mean for the general population, it’s hard to get it any lower), but this was in Student ville on what is arguably the main road of Student ville with lots of people around (Newland Avenue). Be on your guard, particularly in hot weather when you’re sitting outside. Anyway. Now I’m on a £30 eBay phone which I’m not really sure anyone could consider it smart, but I thought I’d review the differences between my 3 phones.

Reflecting on my Final Year Project

Arguing with Poppler and Qt on windows

I recently started a blog documenting how I’m packaging my FYP for windows and Mac OSes. As that should only be about the instructions, not specific packages I’m using, I decided to move the portion about Poppler and Qt over here, so here we go.

Packaging a Python Program for multiple operating systems

I’m well aware that I’m probably one of the very few people who even considers installers for dissertations, and I’m proud to be in the position that my next step is either add more features to my dissertation project, or package it for users. Which do I choose? well given the title of this blog, you can probably guess. My next feature expectations on dissertation are either too big to put in just yet (Optical Music Recognition), or have too many hours expected in order to do them properly.

Traditionalist attitudes

I don’t know how I come off to people who I meet. I would hope I come off as creative and friendly. Anything further than that is brilliant.
