Project/Dissertation Update
Well we(well actually more accurately "I") are(am) into the final week of my university 3rd year project. I have had 2 terms or 28 weeks to perfect and finalise my answer to the dynamic timetabling needs of the worlds rail industry (a thrilling topic, trust me!*). So far I have a 90% completed simulation and prototype tool, which I was hoping to round off tonight, but will probably be most of Monday as well. I have 5/6000 words written from previous "Stage" handins (eg: research and design documentation). This will need to be edited and put into a new final "dissertation" document and another 4/5000 words added. Then proof read. Then I need to tidy up and publish my software on a CD. Then print the doco. Then bind the doco and finally hand it in.
So I have decided as this will be a totally white knuckle, last minute, hair raising, stress inducing 5 days, I will blog about it so that you too can enjoy the ride of ups and downs. (If I don't submit it by the deadline (2pm Friday 29th) then I will never blog again, so I need your support on this!)
All my post from now on will have this Project Facts table:
-Software Completion: 90%
-Words written: 5000
-Words written(edited): 0
-Proof read: 0%
-Printed: 0%
-Bound: 0%
-State of concern: "Poland defence force, circa 1938"
-Pints of coke since 24/4/05: 0.5(Diet with lemon) 0.5(Diet with lime)
-Stress level: "Reverse 'Just for men' effect"
*I do actually know one person for whom the thrill of timetabling can be beaten by only a few things. He is not as hairy, shy or scary as you might imagine.

I clearly need my diet coke this morning. I read the sentence as "a 90% completed stimulation and prototype tool." The way you wrote it is better.
You are so close. Keep it up!
I agree I am "so close" to the deadline. Shame I don't feel "so close" to getting all the work done!
Crazy fingers. I meant to ask if you mixed the diet cokes to achieve lemon-lime yumminess?
Not, this time, but I have done in the past. I wouldn't recommend others try such experiments in a willy-nilly fashion. I only undertook the procedure as a qualified person (I have an E grade at A-level chemistry), there were no large explosions or fires, but there was potential!
