I&#8217;m Matt. I&#8217;m 24 and a current second year computer science student at Goldsmiths. I&#8217;ll basically be blogging about my degree, what work or projects I&#8217;m on and any computing related work I&#8217;m doing outside of uni. Here&#8217;s a picture of me looking somewhat inspirational in my kitchen; no doubt thinking of doubles or 32 bit single precision floating point binary representation.<\/p>\n<p>Currently I&#8217;m working on my Android, Networks &amp; Web and Distributed Programming courseworks and looking forward to the exams in May. Fun! I&#8217;m also putting together a project for the Warden about the library at Goldsmiths for the student union. My contribution for the presentation will be presenting it myself and putting together a video of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/LibraryVid.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-146\" src=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/LibraryVid-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"Library project video preview\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/LibraryVid-300x186.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/LibraryVid-482x300.jpg 482w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/LibraryVid.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>the interviews we did. Though, an in-proportionate amount of time currently is going into an excessive and perhaps joke intro. Think dubstep, and lens flares, and contrast. Yeah, about that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Outside of uni I work for a company iBid as one of their technicians. They provide wireless silent bidding systems for auctions and events. So I set up the wireless networks in the big event halls\/rooms in connection to our server, set up all the tablets and configure them for the tables and manage the guestlist\/table number database throughout the night. We also set up the displays and dynamic leaderboards on stages and TVs around the room, so it&#8217;s working with a lot of AV people too. It&#8217;s quite a lot of fun, getting to be privy to VIP celebrity auctions but pretty long hours and hard work. Most of them don&#8217;t finish way beyond midnight, so not for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully I can put some examples of what I&#8217;m doing as I progress and as deadlines loom next week I&#8217;m sure spotting something I missed on the marking criteria will give me something to show off I&#8217;ve just done. Back to work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi! I&#8217;m Matt. I&#8217;m 24 and a current second year computer science student at Goldsmiths.
