Dissertation?
Hmmm, soo may assignments from other departments and modules seem to somehow of caused my dissertation to be forgotten for the past week. Thats negative :(
However, I guess there can be a plus side to this: A fresh mind and view after the little break will hopefully improve the project. Lets see that this is the case.

The beginnings of a dissertation
So, it looks like I'm supposed to start writing a dissertation and making some sort of program to go with it. Its supposed to be fancy, show off my strong points, and most importantly - WORK (or so they say)...
So lets see, this blog already had the name "Techie with a Tractor", which clearly is supposed to mean I like technology and tractors, so I think I shall base my project on something to include the both.
/Lightbulb
"GOT IT" - I shouted out one day (this must have been a few months back now). "I'll make a mobile app for farm management."
...And today children I still seem to stand by this crazy and perplexing idea. An people say I'm crazy because of the platform I'm going to program it for (also please note that people called me crazy beforehand anyway).
WINDOWS PHONE 7.5 (aka Mango)
"So its for a Micro$oft product", I hear you say in agony. Well the simple answer is YES! Whether this is a mistake, we shall find out in due course.
Meanwhile, over the past few weeks, I've been plying around with basic things from tutorials, getting my self-hosted SVN (VisualSVN with Tortoise) up and running, and still trying to sort out my blessed network issue: see: http://superuser.com/q/348247/95379
So that's enough babbling for one day. According to some of the useful emails I get, I have to write some kind of doku before Wednesday............
Oh well, lecture time now anyway, saved by the bell....................
