I got my degree classification this morning online. I’ve got a 2:1 , which I’m very happy with. It’s what I wanted, and it’s what I was working towards. I knew a 1st was out of reach, but with all the work I put in, I would have been very dissapointed with a 2:2… so i’m satisfied. At this moment, everything is working out well. I’m currently working on freelance work which will bring in a wee bit of £££, i’ve got the 2:1 degree I wanted, and have a... Read The Rest →

If I was to get this job…I would be the first person to be hired by Vision Solutions NI. At the... Read The Rest →

It’s been pretty hectic the last day or two with having to move house. We had been perfectly happy in 29 Ardenlee Place, however the house owner spoiled the party by deciding he wanted to live in the house himself. Thankfully we have been able to get a house in the same development. It’s a little bit extra money than the last one, but it’s a nice house etc so it’ll work out well.

I had the job interview this morning with the NWIPP. Approaching the end of the interview…I was happy enough. I felt that I had answered every question with a suitable response, I had talked about some of the skills they were looking for. then…. they produce a test!! I got handed a test paper on PHP and MySQL. First question – what does PHP stand for? …. BLANK!! why would I know what it stands for! you don’t need to know how a car engine works to use it… you...

it was put to me just the other day that ‘mate…this is the first day of the rest of our lives’ the backdrop to this comment was the completion of our final university exam…it’s strange. the best part of 20yrs of my life has been spent training and educating me for what comes next. now i have to figure that out. now its time to look for employment really. i’ll be graduating with a degree in Interactive Mulitmedia Design (IMD) … I think my future will probably entail working in...
