Actually, this was a completely individual project and was not based on your calculator at all.

Never said it was, bub!

If anyone really wants the original version then I aim to please!

For the record: I made the original version years ago. The difficult bit was the CWMedian VB Script. Eventually someone removed the superfluous sarcasm, prettified the interface and posted it on the atholl web site. This is why the "original" version has loads of MTnnnn modules listed, as I am a mat...

There was an advert for his job in The Economist this week. I thought of applying, with the covering letter reading "Give me the job so I can pay back my fees you goons".

Mr Comedy - have you any use for a wet-nosed maths PhD?

MT3501 was a nightmare when I did it half a decade ago - assuming it's still being taught by that lecturer who can't keep a cohesive train of thought nor write legibly. Your best bet is to get Schaum's Linear Algebra book off Amazon. Sit down and read through it cover to cover, doing all the exercis...

I moved to Sheffield after graduating from St Andrews and I never realised how much I was being ripped off until I left there. £5 for a sandwich, indeed!

I really don't think Tesco care what some guys on Facebook say.

Actually has anyone got a copy of that degree.xls thing I made yonks ago, I've lost mine and I want to see just how abusive I was in the "how to use" section!

Have fun.

Hey I made something like that years ago! Mine had the credit-weighted median, but didn't look as nice. I did many of the same modules though

I've seen butcher's dustbins that were neater than that desk!

Hi Darshan!

I spend about £30 a week on nosh: most of that is on the vast quantities of fresh fruit and veg I consume, with what little remains going on a couple of nice cuts of meat, coffee and my £5-a-week Tesco value chocolate habit. Mmm-mmm!

A better degree class means you are more likely to get interviews. It does not mean you'll be any better at interview. I had an MSci first-class with no real skills and no real experience, so I had lots of interviews that I fluffed out of. There is a reason all the annoying successful people did lot...

Yeah, it should cost about that much. Tuition fees will be £3k/yr, so there's twelve grand straight off the bat; London accom is always hilariously priced, £400pcm = £4.8kpa = £14.6k for three years that you'll be living there. So with tuition fees and £400pcm to live you're looking at the best part...

If anything haunts Wardlaw it's horny first years from B-floor thinking the building's some kind of Tahitian paradise.

Does anyone remember feeling gypped by the "You have been charged a 2.5% card handling fee" message you got when paying by plastic in Tescos? Turns out they were charging the same as if you'd paid by cash and it was all a massive VAT avoidance scam. Man do I feel silly for wandering around with wads...

AVI is a crappy stream container format, not a video codec. MOVs are also just containers, very nice ones at that. The main thing about them was that you could contain videos encoded with the Sonrenson codec, which was a capable encrypting codec that's a bugger to play with anything not made by Appl...

I'm still narked about Audioscrobbler metamorphosising into that horrible last.fm thing!

You can get a keg and all the pressure system stuff you need to use it from Aikman's. Speak to the owner about that. You can also get wee kegs that are self-pressured from the larger offies and supermarkets, those are a bit gimmicky though.

Racism really is hilarious!!
