Hi guys!

Remember me? Just imagine my hair was shorter, maybe if I chopped back this beard a bit...no? Well, maybe after a shower and some clean clothes I'd seem familiar. Yes, that's right, it's me, DaveW!

As you all know I've been pretty busy with University work, and I'm plodding along trying to get all of my work finished. I have a number of deadlines coming up, and I'm probably going to disappear back into the dark and lonely cave known locally as the 'Comp Lab'; level 6 to some, the prison to others.

I've been working away at my project and studying for exams, and things are going slowly but with some degree of momentum. I'm hoping to get my work finished on time but it's going to take a lot of work; last week I was in the Lab for 24 hours straight, with only 2 cinnamon pastries and can of energy drink to get me through the night. In the morning, I'd coded a system capable of interpreting accelerometer information for multi-modal interaction.

Now I have to write a 150+page dissertation on my work, due in on the 9th. At a random point I'll have to demonstrate my work, although I don't know exactly when.

My girlfriend is now the proud owner of a German Shepherd Dog called Jango, and he's a handful. He likes to bite/chew things, but we're trying to train that out of him. He starts puppy classes today. I'll get some photos when I have the time.

Well, that's just a little update on things in my life, I will return at some point; when that will be, I'm not sure. Hope everyone's keeping well.

-Dave

Dave? Who is Dave? Seriously guys does anyone know this Dave person?

Nah just messing, good to see you man. Glad things are working out decently for you. Your GF's dog sounds cool, Shepards are great dogs. Isn't college fun, all this work at strange hours (Okay thats I lie, I usual make a strong attempt at normalcy). Anyway's good to hear from you man. Come back again sometime.

I can personally vouch for the existence of this elusive Scotsman. He works in a really cool place too!

I still hear his accent when I read his posts...

No foolin? I think I did that by accident once, took me hours to clean it up.


Great to finally see the man with the plan back on the field, will be even nicer when you are done with school and we'll see you more often eh? Miss ya Dave, good luck with the teensy paper you have to write, might have to sharpen your pencil once or twice.

Not anymore! I just read of these things called "type writers" that use buttons and ink to do the writing for you!

Glad to see you back Dave, even if it is for a short while. It sounds like you have quite a lot on your plate right now but it looks like everything is working out for you. But less than a week for the paper? Yikes!
