Oracle

Monday, April 30th, 2001

I see the future, and it is a DBMS.

Yesterday I did my Oracle Assignment. I spent from 7pm to 2.30am on it, and then from 9am to 3pm, when it was marked. Estimated project time (according to the assignment: 25 hours.

Actual time spent on assignment: (What with lectures and hanging about waiting for marking) – about 9 hours.

Actual mark for assignment: 54%

Average mark for people who had spent the last four weeks on it: 56%

Almost makes me wish I’d started earlier

Drabble II

Sunday, April 29th, 2001

As I crested the hill I saw it ahead and over me.
Golden, and Red and Metallic and Dull and Beautiful
And evil. And deadly. And afraid of one thing.

Me.

And I screamed the revenge of the thousands redudced to ashes or food beneath it’s reign.

It swooped, it heard me. It knew me. The last Dragonborn, the only remaining human with the power to defeat a great Pyrowyrm.

And as it swooped I realised the error. I drew attention after it’s fueled meal.

And as the fireball sped toward me I realised.

I’d Failed Everyone.

Pure Drabble

He stood. He tried to speak.
He tried again. He could see the anger, and he could see the *reason* for the anger.
Why wasn’t he shouting?
There was the bed, his combination Girlfriend, confidant and room-mate.
There was the bed, exactly as it had always been, albeit slightly damper.
And there was the other man, looking guilty.
Carefully, he picked up the roses, box of chocolates, and gift
/maybe I can return it. Why am I still calm?/
and then he spoke:

“Carry on”

turned around, and walked out of the room, sat on the stairs.

And cried.
