Today, in summary:

Some work on Artificial Intelligence. Thank dog this assignment is basically a repeat of the last 3 years of Formal Logic wrapped into 4 chapters. Not done yet, but hopefully tomorrow it shall be done. The additional good news is that the embarassment known as COS340, Computer Graphics, is not an issue assignment-wise, since they dished out full credits for all assignments handed in, and lowered the credit requirements to 80, which means the two assignments I got in are enough to get me into the exam. I'm pretty disappointed, because I kind of relied on the assignments to actually force me to get to grips with OpenGL. Now it's a load of gunk theory for the exams, and perhaps my own effort to do some OpenGL programming. Like that's going to happen :-(

Blogwise, I got some decent colours going. I settled on a spiffing blue scheme that appeals to me, at any rate, and is hopefully passably readable. After a bit of fiddling, I also got Mike's IMG logging hack going.

Of course, the real notable event of today was getting off my butt and giving the Volvo a good wash. I've steadfastly refused to take it to a car wash, I kinda felt some irrational need to look after it myself. So this afternoon I got decked out in my Sunday worst, hauled out the cleaning stuff and screwed my back up in the process. But she's looking brand new again. I realised that it's quite possibly a good 5 years, if not more, since I made any effort to wash a car. My Kadett either went to the car-wash, or else I left it covered in crap to discourage people from stealing it. Fat lot of good that did me...
