Blimey. CPU running at 48 degrees. What's up with him? In fact, what's up with the computer? I do a reboot and the monitor doesn't even register . . . no image, no nothing. BIOS won't even send a flicker to the LCD. Weird. So I keep doing hard re-boots, over and over again. Couple of hours later, I figure, "Ah well, might as well leave the power on anyway, leave it alone." And, lo and behold, it was just mulling things over, and did eventually boot-up . . . god knows how long it took, though. Don't ask about the exam, though. I probably got about 70% of it complete, but only answered that 70% about 65% satisfactorily. So what percentage will that end up being? Well, it will be a pass, certainly, but I really wanted over 70% to ensure a grade 2 pass (recommended for next years modules). But, hey, what can you do? Three hours just wasn't long enough. The knowledge, the ability, the aptitude (dare I say it) were there, but there wasn't enough time to apply these, damn it. So yeah . . . once again there didn't seem to do a single beer-selling bar anywhere on Lancaster University campus. Fine. I'll celebrate/commiserate at home.
